"The bill directs what is likely the largest single sale of national public lands in modern history to help cut taxes for the richest people in the country....all without hearings, debate or public input." wilderness.org/articles/med...

She’s got too much Steph DNA in that regard.

3 percent of GDP, god damn www.bloomberg.com/news/article...

A failure of journalism. Neither the push nor the NBC News article notes that THIS IS ILLEGAL. The law allows a one-time delay. That’s it! www.nbcnews.com/news/us-news...

we are about to enter the golden age of scams, people are going to lose millions

MLB will finally re-name the award for best pitching season after the man who had the best mustache, Rollie Fingers.

Banana Runts.

Who are these people who re-post my most mundane skeets?!

Why are you asking Trump questions as if his decisions have a logical framework you can evaluate???

You know all the conspiracy theories about Bob Menendez being framed by Republicans that are all over social media??? Yeah, me neither.

genuinely torn about whether i like this pun or not

Well if she moved it to the vacant restaurant space she owns in a prime location it would be a tacit admission of union busting. Unrelated: Eat a steak at Mancini’s. Union since before you were alive.

Don't know if she mentioned this in the interview, but there's a very personal context here I had forgotten: Smith managed the brief Mondale campaign after Wellstone's death. (From a plane crash, but oldsters will remember how Wellstone's *funeral* was aggressively spun by the GOP).

Pacers are going to lose, but still have been super impressive somehow. The only person who’s kinda gone down in my estimation has been SGA. This Thunder team is great, but not sure how much of it is because of him… Ja or Garland or Trae would not look all that different.

No one, and I mean *zero* people, we’re looking at FIFA to take any sort of moral stand… on anything.

‘Somehow, SGA creates space…’ Yeah, it’s a big mystery.

Felt like MN never made any sense... I can't believe serious people were saying that.

Chickensh*t.

This is a sham tournament. Nice to see Chelsea play, but what a farce. #FIFACWC

Hugo Lloris’ record vs Chelsea is 3-16-6… Honestly, I don’t think it’d be that good.

Lab-grown salmon cleared for sale in the United States. Wildtype’s 'cultured' salmon is made in a lab from a few cells. In May 2025, the FDA approved Wildtype’s salmon for commercial sale, paving the way for the world’s first commercial sales of cell-based seafood. buff.ly/yJiHfus #ShareGoodNewsToo

There will never be a physical phone.

Two weeks ago masked cops from an array of agencies, wearing an array of uniforms, swarmed a restaurant at Lake & Bloomington and everyone who showed up to protect our neighborhood was asked to accept these mysterious authorities on faith No paywall:

By 2030..the global economy will be $1 trillion smaller than it would have been had the US remained in the TPP. More than a third of that loss would come because of a smaller US economy…The consequence for Americans: 690,000 fewer jobs. 🇺🇸 www.bloomberg.com/news/feature...

And still taken peacefully… so it is possible.

On the scale from, “quick descent into fascism,” to ,”progressive class-warrior,” there hasn’t been a bad Democratic candidate… Because fascism is SO bad, even a Bush 1 type Republican would be ‘good’ compared to Trump.

Oh this ad-format sucks. We cannot allow this as soccer fans. F*ck all the way off! And it’s a gambling site. Cannot get any worse.

What, and I stress, the fuck

For the absolute last time: I *never* said I thought E.T. dressed in the wig and the dress was sexy, I said *I could see why people would think that*

Despite Texas' tough talk on immigration, its lawmakers have refused to mandate that private businesses check employment authorization. Why? Because they know “if you got serious about applying [E-Verify], you would create even worse problems” with labor shortages, a former GOP state lawmaker said.

This trade makes me think Ja is very getable... But if I were the Wolves, I might make a run on JJJ if you have a deal to get off Rudy.

4th quarter is prime Dort off-ball, ‘dare you to call a foul,’ time.

And there it is… courtesy of an SGA shove-off into a step back.

Lowe floated a multi-team trade where the Wolves gave up: Gobert Randle DDV Dillingham NAW And got: KD Claxton Lonzo Ball That’s not very interesting to me honestly. I like all those pieces, but that feels like too much?

If you're marching tomorrow show us your signs! And if you want to march but aren't sure where, find a protest near you here. There are a LOT. www.nokings.org
