Just got an email from the Department of Education informing me my student loans are in repayment and that I can enroll in auto-pay. I paid off my student loans like 3 years ago The Trump administration just keeps crushing it. This is what happens when you hire incompetents with no experience

Man how do the Sooners ALWAYS manage to get that clutch homer? They’re unreal. #WCWS

With this awful terror attack in Colorado, Congress needs to ask how many federal resources have been pulled from counterterrorism to deport Hispanics?

Big if true

Trump is ignoring intelligence briefings so they’re considering Fox News-style videos. Reminds me when George W Bush reportedly wouldn’t read memos unless they were bullet points and less than a page Congrats GOP on finding someone even dumber and lazier than W. www.nbcnews.com/politics/nat...

Yeah this tracks. There isn’t a single thing about sports gambling and it’s massive proliferation that hasn’t made the world an infinitely worse place www.espn.com/mlb/story/_/...

The Longhorns are undefeated since they moved Katie Stewart from SS to LF, Leighann Goode from 2B to SS, and Kaydee Bennett from LF to 2B. I don’t think it’s a coincidence. Can’t wait for Wednesday night! #HookEm #WCWS

Are we not calling the dual Leach jersey the “Dua Leacha”? I think we should be #WCWS #Longhorns #LadyVols #Volunteers

Kristen Stewart with another well times homer puts the Longhorns on the board. Up 1-0 on the Lady Vols in the 4th. Hook Em! 🤘 #WCWS #KStew

Mac Morgan with 4 brilliant shutout innings! She’s really finding her stuff at the right time. #Longhorns #WCWS #HookEm 🤘👊🇺🇸🔥

I’m not used to seeing a coach get ejected and have to grab his backpack and leave. That was pretty funny #Longhorns #LadyVols #WCWS #HookEm 🤘👊🇺🇸🔥

I doubted Mike White starting Mac Morgan. I shouldn’t have. What an incredible 3 innings for her. #Longhorns #WCWS #HookEm 🤘👊🇺🇸🔥

School choice vouchers are a scam designed to help rich people undermine public education. It has nothing to do with parental rights or improving education or anything else its advocates claim allears.net/2025/05/31/i...

I’m seeing some really depressing and disconcerting whataboutism on the Boulder attack. Some borderline defending it. You can be mad at Israel’s acts of terror and still recognize an act of terror by someone who terrorizes innocent American Jews who have NOTHING to do with atrocities by the Israel.

Democrats desperately need new leadership. A leading House member’s staff was harassed and handcuffed because Homeland Security doesn’t like them informing immigrants of their rights and the Minority Leader’s answer is “we’ll respond in a time and place of our choosing”? Bro WHAT??

🚨BREAKING: Exit polls project that moderate, pro-EU candidate Rafał Trzaskowski has defeated Trump-backed nationalist Karol Nawrocki in Poland’s presidential election, 50.3% to 49.7%

Astros are a half game out of 1st place and have a better run differential than the Mariners do even after getting out-scored by 21 this weekend Their next 6 opponents have a combined .431 win % (PIT, CLE, CSW, MIN, ATH, LAA) Now’s the time. Let’s go!

Not kidding: seeing the way that Schloss is treating Galvan and Volantis right now, I would tell my kid to go anywhere but the University of Texas. This is despicable.

I have to hand it to Schlossnagle. I expected this season to be a nightmare for the Horns. But they played well through injuries to Belyeu and Spencer They did better than they had any right to, and he mostly did it with Pierce’s team. Looking forward to what he can do with his own team. Next year!

JFC a third hit batter in the inning. I’m done. I just feel bad for the Longhorns who have to play out the rest of this nightmare. They exceeded expectations by a mile this year but this is a CRAPPY way to end a season that was really fun for 3 months.

Back to back HBPs and the Longhorns gift UTSA another run. I can take losing to teams that genuinely just outplay us. Beating ourselves like this is exhausting.

Update: over the last 8 innings: 1 run, 11 left on base, 0-11 with runners in scoring position To the kid in the stands screaming “what are you doing?? Use your head!” - yeah. You are all of us bro.

ESPN just showed that over the last 7 innings, the Longhorns have 1 run, 10 left on base and are 0-10 with runners in scoring position. They are beating themselves
