Ally Sentnor doesn’t need an assist, apparently. Amazing goal. #USWNT

Coach Harmon is out there recruiting her heart out for #IowaWBB. She posts YouTube updates and she’s going EVERYWHERE, y’all. Potential BIG recruits incoming. youtu.be/5Iszok7HLSo?...

Inject that Yohannes/Ryan/Macario goal into my veins. #USWNT

Catarina Macario and Lily Yohannes playing for the #USWNT? YES, please.

#IowaWBB v OSU I’m struggling to understand why Syd is handling the ball when Iowa is working to break the press. Again.

TODAY: A hearing will be held in Washington, D.C. in a lawsuit filed by 14 states seeking to stop and block the work of DOGE and Elon Musk. The hearing is at 11 am ET. Public access is available by calling 833-990-9400 (Meeting ID: 493633106). Background:

Crockett: While he was stopping money… somehow the only money that didn’t stop was the money going to his organization. I don’t know you can have him be watchdog as well as the guy living off of the government. If you want to talk about government welfare, it looks like Elon Musk

Elon Misk has put a bunch of computer hackers in charge of all of our data after breaching the government systems. The six people that now have our information are in the ages between 19 years of age to 25 years old. The 19 year old literally just graduated from High School. We never voted for this!

"Gaza development plan" is such an Orwellian turn of phrase, such an abuse of language to normalize a proposed ethnic cleansing

47,000+ Palestinians killed. 111,000 injured. Trump’s response? Forcibly expel Palestinians to make Gaza “a real estate development for the future. A beautiful piece of land.”  No. Gaza must be rebuilt for the Palestinian people, not billionaire tourists.

BREAKING: Judge Beryl Howell has ruled that the FBI will have to release documents related to Trump's mishandling of classified documents in a FOIA case brought by Jason Leopold. From Kyle Cheney: www.politico.com/news/2025/02...

best Super Bowl ad yesterday by far in my opinion: Nike celebration of women sports stars. Just Win. wow. Amazing.

Connolly: "There's a difference between cutting waste fraud and abuse, and dismantling whole agencies. No one gave Trump, no one gave Elon Musk that authority. It is unconstitutional. It is unlawful. It is a violation of Article 1. And we're gonna fight it."

Woohoo!

Elon Musk is a terrible president.

The person keeping you from dying from Listeria is a federal employee. The person making sure your plane doesn’t fall out of the sky is a federal employee. The person busting up drug rings is a federal employee. The person prosecuting terrorists is a federal employee.

Did anyone ask about the citizenship of Elon Musk’s band of bruhs before handing them the keys to the castle? And making them instant blackmail bait?

This is the way

Food for thought.
