This tweet from my former boss is one of the most rage inducing things I've ever read. Tina freely allows the bosses in HER office to get away with terrible behavior and does nothing. It's a huge reason why I quit. And she doesn't support billionaires? She's posting on his platform!

Elon doesn't seem to understand how the federal government works.

Repost if your team is 3-0.

DOGE is like if Fyre Festival was a government agency.

It seems like the "mutual" breakup between ESPN and MLB wasn't so mutual. http://dlvr.it/TJ7CrZ

It's pretty cool that Eater put together resources for restaurants about how to handle ICE raids

BREAKING: This is truly unusual, disgustingly insane trading. This morning, a trader opened more than 5000 $VKTX 33C expiring TODAY!!!! Hours later, a buyout rumor on $VKTX. The calls were OTM, expiring TODAY! $VKTX exploded and the calls jumped +700% in two hours. They made millions. Unusual.

My top 3 RBs for the 2025 Draft Class (so far)... (with comps) 1. Ashton Jeanty (LT) 2. Kaleb Johnson (Edgerrin James) 3. TreVeyon Henderson (Kenneth Walker)

Just so everybody is clear on Republican priorities: We put up an amendment to make sure nobody making over $500 million gets a tax cut. Republicans voted against it.

Happening now: protesters are outside the Fine Arts Building on Michigan Avenue in downtown Chicago this evening. People are in line to see House of Reps Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries for an event tonight promoting his recently released book. Crowd chanting at them, "we don't need a book tour!"

He will burn down whatever he can, however he can Our systems of governance, rule of law, global alliances, even the Constitution. Consumed by vengeance and greed, he is the greatest threat to our Republic since its founding. We must meet this moment with the force of a thousand suns. Or perish.

Really scary situation at the Kansas State House today when a fierce debate over guns turned into accusations and fears of legislators being armed on the floor. Great reporting from @journalist-sherman.bsky.social:

Final: Cubs 12 Dodgers 4

Appropriate.

There's a lot going on right now, but this story from @dell.bsky.social and @dmehro.bsky.social is horrifying. Basically, in contravention of its own policies, Google's ad technology allows clients to identify and target people identified as, say, struggling with opioid addiction or gambling debt.

Reminder on blood clots, which often go undiagnosed in earlier stages: - swelling, tenderness, redness or warmth in one extremity - heaviness or achiness in that extremity Seek medical attention if you may be experiencing this!

Oh….

IRS employee tells me the IRS is going to terminate ~6,600 people today. These are by and large people who "go after tax evasion."

MLS: let’s play games in the winter instead of the summer Kansas City in mid February: (F and C respectively)

DOGE recommended firing workers at: -FDA, which oversees Neuralink -FAA, which oversees SpaceX -USAID, which probed Starlink -CFPB, which oversees Tesla's financing arm and a potential payment platform on X. "Conflict of interest" is a severe understatement.

Hard to overstate how crazy the DOGE situation is getting. The latest from @cwarzel.bsky.social, @ibogost.bsky.social, and @matteowong.bsky.social
