The first ever video game on the actual device it was made on 57 years ago.

Dude wasn’t made like the rest of us. ✍️ Endless respect to the legend, Tolkien. 📚

📌NOTE: Sending the Marines into ANY U.S. city would be the greatest, anti-American insult TO THE MARINES I have seen in my entire lifetime. 📌This is weak, disgusting and NOT THEIR MISSION. Be about time for retired Marines to start speaking up, because you KNOW you are better than this. -Navy guy

This man was courageous enough to stand up to Trump and Vance. So it's important to post this message and photo to 27 million people. Don't just "like" it -- that only means that YOU'VE seen it. Postb it, blow it up and get it out there! #SlavaUkraini 🇺🇦

Chris Murphy on Joni Ernst: "I think everybody in that audience knows they're going to die, they would just rather die in old age at 85 or 90 instead of dying at 40. And the reality is that when you lose your healthcare, you are much more at risk of early death."

Pass it along please.

Fake president #Taco

Next time someone in Congress glibly dismisses your need for healthcare, remember that they have some of the best healthcare in the country. And it was paid for by YOU.

Something spicy & delicious as a taco has gotten under Trumplestiltkin's thin tangerine skin. Seems the master of mean, juvenile nicknames can dish them out but when directed towards him, he can't take it, angrily calling it "nasty."🤣 Good to know. (you know what to do!) 🌮🌮 🌮🌮 🌮🌮 🌮🌮 🌮🌮 🌮🌮 🌮🌮 🌮🌮 🌮

Today with @mitchmelnick.bsky.social on Montreal radio, I mentioned that the idea that the NHL playoffs are officiated differently than the regular season is overblown. Calls get missed in both, but this season, there are actually more PP/gm in the playoffs (6.0) than in the regular season (5.4).

With the end of the World Championship, it’s the end of another hockey season for me. Many thanks to my broadcast partners (especially Mike Johnson and Jamie McLennan), to everyone behind the scenes who makes it happen and most of all to you for watching. Be kind to each other, see you soon.

Very satisfying.

Breaking: My nephew has decided to retain his title as one of the world’s cutest (and most chill) babies. He won’t be taking any questions at this time. 😅

Today is the day we honor those who died overseas stopping the same thing many of you are ignoring here at home--fascism.

Planted this jasmine 30 years ago to hide a chain link fence. If you stand here around 6:00PM, you can almost hallucinate from the aroma.

Trump said he would get a peace deal within 24 hours, and now is poised to lose the war. Why? Because he is the weakest U.S. president in our lifetime. He's told Putin he can continue the war and pay ZERO price. No sanctions. No new weapons for Ukraine. www.nytimes.com/2025/05/26/u...

Today, I was denied access to seeing my constituent, Mr. Kilmar Abrego Garcia. If there is nothing to hide, cut the crap. Let his lawyer and I check on him.

The House should support our amendment to get DOGE to STOP defunding the police. Amazingly, a DOGE employee cancelled federal grants to hundreds of DOJ grantees, including police departments, and victim assistance and crime-fighting groups.

Tell Me You Haven’t Noticed It As Well?

It's all in the details..❤️

Can I say something... 😂

Tariffs were NEVER going to “bring manufacturing back to the US.” There are many reasons, including: •Even with tariffs, US labor is prohibitively expensive •America’s supply chain isn’t ready •Most Americans don’t want to do manufacturing jobs •Not enough unemployed workers to fill new factories

Who could've guessed joining a make-believe Resistance against an Evil Empire would ever happen in real life?

Taking a bribe in a very public way doesn't mean you aren't corrupt, it means your corruption is shameless.

WHO DID THIS?!?!

I’ve literally had to uninvite members of Congress from a Happy Hour with an open bar in order to comply with Congressional ethics rules — meanwhile the Qataris are just gifting a whole plane to the motherfucking President.

Congress is not going to reverse habeas corpus—-and no, the president can’t do it himself. Why does Stephen Miller bring it up on a Friday? To try to distract us from the havoc they are wreaking across the economy.

Just a thought: Instead of white Afrikaners from South Africa, how about we fly American kidnapping victims from El Salvador back first?

I'm willing to try this! 🙋‍♀️

My latest: "The United $tates of America is Officially For Sale" Trump is accepting luxury jets from Qatar, auctioning access in exchange for purchasing his memecoin, and is willing to sell America, its resources, and its national security to the highest bidder. open.substack.com/pub/thelefth...

It's a fantastic book - download it - buy it - or just borrow it and read it. The Dust Bowl Triolgy are worth the effort.

The rule of law is all or nothing and must apply equally to everyone. If there's no rule of law for some people in America, then there's no rule of law for any of us.
