We are a hot mess express

…and Karaban HAS to start producing.

Mahaney really hurts us. I don’t blame Nowell for not being ready, but Diarra is gassed and exposed every single game.

If Karaban hit that 3 I would have peed my pants

Tarris Reed understands the assignment and his role on this team

Andrea’s face after Karaban’s inbound turnover is also my face

It may not be cool or hip in some circles, but we legitimately do need a massive amount of people to run for office. Flood the school boards, councils, county seats, state legislatures, Congress, etc. Big changes at the top happen when the ground shifts at the bottom. And that can start now.

Teachers teach. We need a leaderful movement, and there are leaders all around us.

Democratic leaders: I think it's abundantly clear at this point that simply going along to get along ain't gonna work. Trying to negotiate ain't gonna work. Being collegial ain't gonna work. What you're doing right now isn't working. Take your gloves off and punch back. Hard.

Tyranny requires your fear, your silence, and your compliance. Democracy requires your courage.

It seems almost unavoidable at this point that we are headed for a deep, deep recession. Just based on 200K+ federal firings & pullback of contracts, the March employment report (to be released April 4) seems certain to show bigger job losses than any month ever outside of a few in 2008-9 and 2020.

MTA to Feds: Drop dead

Does anyone know if the assets of an IRA can be held in a foreign (preferably Swiss) bank account? Asking for no particular reason.

Senators Susan Collins, Lisa Murkowski, Joni Ernst, etc: You’ve seen Hegseth, RFK Jr, and others give worthless assurances. You’re now seeing the US appease Putin, and DOJ guardrails crumble. Are you going to let Kash Patel use the FBI against his enemies list and further destroy the rule of law?

A handful of billionaires now have unprecedented control over banking, the food we eat, our healthcare, and the information we receive. Many are now currying favor with Trump to avoid accountability and maintain their power. This is what oligarchy looks like.

Where was Horatio Sanz this weekend? What don’t I know?

“Flu has been brutal this season. The CDC estimates at least 24 million illnesses, 310,000 hospitalizations, and 13,000 deaths from the flu since the start of October… But CDC analyses that would inform people about these situations are delayed, and the CDC has cut off communication with doctors”

“It was so fucking stupid,” says a federal official on the receiving end of the DOGE threats to call Elon Musk. “I can’t believe this is how they’re blowing up the Constitution, with this little nerd army. God help us.” www.rollingstone.com/politics/pol...

When SDNY refused to drop the Eric Adams case, it was moved to the Public Integrity Section. The acting leader of the Public Integrity Section also refused to drop the case and resigned.

vaccines are truly one of the greatest achievements in all of human history. makes me legitimately very sad for all the people who will be needlessly harmed.

With both RFK Jr and Gabbard confirmed, two people who rose to prominence spreading conspiracy theories about public health and national intelligence will now run the U.S. government agencies in charge of those areas. For someone studying these conspiracy theories for a decade... this is nauseating.

Linda McMahon refused to answer if an African American History class might lose federal funding under Trump's new Executive Order. (She's have to look at it) A non-answer is an answer. Her Department of Education will strip funding away from any schools or districts that don't whitewash history.

Shout out to Portland State’s Men’s Basketball team for having Pride Night on February 13th. First 200 fans get a free Portland State logo Pride Flag.

Oh.

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

If the Trump White House Spokesbot tells you there's not constitutional crisis...there's a constitutional crisis.

The takeover of Twitter was a preview of what we're all living with now and a stark example of why you can't let any one person have too much money: they go insane and make themselves everybody's problem

It finally happened: President Donald Trump's Justice Department has ordered federal prosecutors in New York City to drop all criminal charges against Mayor Eric Adams. "New Yorkers have to realize we're on our own." hellgatenyc.com/mayor-adams-...

Kevin Burkhardt is just making stuff up at this point 😂

Tommy Cutlets is better than Patrick Mahomes

Even the Giants scored against the Eagles 😂

Muting Tom Brady, turning on the Philly police scanner

Tom Brady is horrific.

SEAL IS A SEAL

The emoji to describe the scorebug: 👀

My top Super Bowl memory is when Musk tweeted “Go Eagles” in 2023 from the game and then deleted it after a similar tweet from Biden got more engagement. Then he flew to Twitter HQ and demanded his workers find out why his posts were doing poorly, starting a multi-day fact finding mission.

I’m a Giants fan and Bradley Cooper just hyped me up

Does Harry Connick Jr. actually sound like this?

tom brady looks like he’s been possessed by something terrible. he is going to crawl out of my tv like the ring girl
