"This is crazy stuff that's happening." It sure is, Marco. It sure is.

Good morning. Today is the 80th day that the U.S. President is running a backdoor bribery scheme in which any CEO or foreign oligarch can send him money secretly through his crypto coin scam in exchange for favors. It's the biggest scandal in the history of the Presidency.

Those trying to understand the tariffs as economic policy are dangerously naive. No, the tariffs are a tool to collapse our democracy. A means to compel loyalty from every business that will need to petition Trump for relief. 1/ A 🧵 to explain his plan and how we fight back.

I wrote something about the secret police kidnapping and disappearing students over their op-eds, and wondering what happened to all those people screaming about the "free speech crisis on campus." www.techdirt.com/2025/03/27/t...

I can’t believe this has to be said, but: You cannot tell the story of Jackie Robinson—as a ballplayer, serviceman, or human—without discussing our country’s history of racism. From Around the Horn:

Among the material devastation to everyday people, Senate Dems have now blown a hole in their ability to work with the House. We had an agreed upon plan, House took immense risk, then Senate turned around midway and destroyed it w/ a fear-based, inexplicable abdication. They own what happens next.

We're all ready in a shutdown where Musk/Trump have decided what parts of government to shut down - and it's only going to get worse when the CR passes How is it everyone outside of the Senate Dem leadership office can see that? Republicans must laugh their asses off at how easy it is to roll you

New Yorkers: Call Sen. Gillibrand’s office to vote NO on cloture and NO on the Republican Spending Bill. They vote in the morning. ☎️: (202) 224-4451

Certainly going with a plan of appeasement will work and won’t result in anyone invading Poland

The institutional Democratic Party is guided by an almost pathological level of conflict avoidance in almost every direction. “What can we do to make the least number of people mad?” is just a bankrupt way to operate.

I’m not sure that the Trump Democrats strategy of letting the bully take their lunch money today in the hopes the bully will be nice to them tomorrow will be all that effective

Here's what's going to happen after Trump gets rid of FEMA: some small slice of the money now going to FEMA will be given to states and the rest will go to fund tax cuts for the wealthy. Blue states will set their FEMA disaster dollars aside and tax themselves so... www.cnbc.com/2025/01/24/t...

On the same day Trump pardoned Danny Rodriguez for nearly murdering Michael Fanone, he said Rodriguez should face death penalty had he succeeded. www.whitehouse.gov/presidential...

We are about a week away from half the people you went to high school with calling you "woke" for refusing to give a proper 'Roman salute' as the motorcade passes by. 3-6 months from them pelting you with garbage.

The #steelers are being de-pantsed. #firetomlin

Netflix's new yule log video this year...

Colin Cowherd on UVA football, 2006. Still works though... Go Hokies!!

POP has looked good. Get him some protection and hot reads in the second half, and he'll do fine. #Hokies
