TRUMP: The NCAA has complied immediately. That's good. But I understand Maine -- is the governor of Maine here? JANET MILLS: Yeah I'm here TRUMP: Are you not gonna comply? JM: I'm going to comply with state and federal law T: You better do it bc you're not gonna get any federal funding at all

Did the @nytimes.com really quote the mf-ing communications director of the Houston YOUNG REPUBLICANS as if he were just some random young Black person who likes Trump? Cause it sure looks like it.

Yeah, it's pretty discouraging!

The Guardians were in the ALCS last year and almost every website says they got better over the off-season. And yet this is a pretty typical ranking for them. Make it make sense!

Trump will be the Republican nominee in 2028 unless he's dead (and even if he is dead, they may use his name as a symbolic nominee). And SCOTUS will say that Trump v Anderson prohibits the States from denying Trump from the ballot. Just so everyone understands what's coming.

"These babies, this mother, this elder should have lived, no matter what. There is nothing that justifies their deaths. And it is simultaneously true that the Palestinian infants, toddlers, children murdered in bombings, by freezing, by hunger do not matter less than these babies."

So what’s it called when the elected leaders of the country don’t trust the police to keep them safe?

This is a concentration camp. They are describing a concentration camp.

This is incredible reporting that must shock the conscience of each and every one of us.

Here is the economic formula for GDP: GDP = C + I + G + (X - M) G is getting a serious hit (DOGE + Tax Cuts), so GDP will take a serious hit. That will trigger a downward spiral in C and in I. Not to mention tariffs reduce (X - M). And it won’t stop until G increases = Great Depression 2 #econsky

All over today. This is NYC.

I wrote about my sordid past as a seven year old Reagan supporter and why the current crop of young MAGA elites/rich kids are giving me 1980s deja vu, and not in a good way: www.nytimes.com/2025/02/16/o...

The measles outbreak in Texas is reminding me of the public letter Roald Dahl wrote about losing his daughter to measles in 1962, just before the vaccine was publicly available.

Brian, Wired isn’t in the White House yet they kick CNN’s ass every day and twice on Sunday. Find some courage or stop wasting everybody’s time with this ‘strategy’ bullshit.

I can’t say I’ve thought about inflation that much since the US Attorney in the district you and I both live in had to resign because the President wanted to make a corrupt deal with the Mayor, backed by the threat of a dangling DOJ prosecution, to terrorize immigrants and people of color here.

Ok, I'm really scared. Me and several of my loved ones are dependent on these miraculous medicines in order to get through the day and in some cases avoid suicidal ideation. This EO could literally cost me my job and kill multiple of my closest family. Fuck. Fuck. Fuck.

Republicans are entirely at fault. It would've been better had none of them won their elections. But that doesn't excuse Democrats from failing to use the same parliamentary maneuvers Republicans have used for decades to hinder Democratic majorities. If we have to shame them into it, so be it.

This is absolutely insane. Musk’s DOGE crew just straight up *took* $80 million from an NYC bank account!

DOGE and Trump admin have hobbled at least 11 federal agencies *that have been investigating Musk's companies.* The NLRB alone had 24 ongoing investigations into Tesla & others--but Trump fired top officials so now cases can't move forward. www.nytimes.com/2025/02/11/u... @ericlipton.nytimes.com
