The heartbreak. Trump claims USAID is bankrupting America—it’s less than 1% of the budget. Meanwhile, the world’s richest man, Elon Musk, is gutting the largest food aid provider. He could end world hunger & still be the richest man alive. But he won’t. Not just greed. We’re watching evil at work.

UofL has a few loud obnoxious fans just abusing everyone not in white today.

So the President not only fired the Chairman of the Joint Chiefs. He also fired the top JAGs at the Army, Navy and Air Force. Those are the lead people who determine what is a legal order and what is not. So if you're planning to do things that are illegal they're the most obvious obstacle.

Three updates: 1. The Justice Department has deleted a database tracking federal police misconduct. The database was first proposed in 2020 following the police killing of George Floyd.

Cards beat second ranked team in a row on the road.

Gloves dropped. 3x in the first 9 seconds of USA v Canada! This is a perfect start. #FourNationsFaceOff

Incredible news. After immense pressure and threats of protest, Children's Wisconsin has reinstated treatment for at least one trans teen under its care. Several hospitals across the country determined their fear of Trump's illegal EO was more important than their trans patients.

Worst week for science EVER. Sunday: ASM scrubs DEI mentions from website. Tue: NASA scrubs DEI from website; ICE arrests a student on campus; NSF plans to cut staff; USAID halted. Wed: HHMI kills diversity program; NIH trashes applications for diversity F grants. Fri: NIH cuts indirects.

The new cover of TIME.

Trump is laying off 1,000s of National Forest Service employees. He is going badly hurt our great parks system. Boone Forest is being targeted for layoffs.

Congrats to Josh Allan on MVP. My vote, if I had one, would have gone to Lamar. Both QBs gave us a great season. #nfl

Twitter is only relevant because conservatives in power and the media sycophants use it to communicate their hateful ideas.

I just strained a muscle in my big toe … while putting on slippers. How’s your day going?

Trump’s EO bans trans girls from participating in girls sports. Since there is no transgender high school sports league he is denying a group of people the right to participate in sports and compete for future scholarships or careers. Isn’t this the definition of a violation under Title IX?

“Help me, I’ve fallen and can’t get up.” These commercials get more persuasive the older I get.

Game of runs. Let’s get one started, UofL.

Time to bust Luigi out of prison.

NEW: Sources tell my office that Treasury Secretary Bessent has granted DOGE *full* access to this system. Social Security and Medicare benefits, grants, payments to government contractors, including those that compete directly with Musk's own companies. All of it.

Censoring science. The Nazis must be so proud.

Let’s go Cards! Got a new hat that actually fits my big ass head to celebrate the revival of Cardinals basketball.

Question for the hive mind… What do you do when you’ve procrasticleaned your whole house and ran all of your errands but you still don’t want to answer emails?!?

What percentage of MAGA voters did you think are either not paying any attention to what’s happening, or don’t care?
