Kenya's Sharon Lokedi broke the women's Boston Marathon course record finishing in 2:17:22, more than 2 1/2 minutes faster than the previous women's best in Boston.

Protest from Pittsburgh

Pittsburgh coming out strong

We believe pollution causes autism. That is why we are gutting the EPA. by Lee Zeldin and RFK Jr.

“It’s almost as though some members have been told how to vote, and they aren’t looking at the policy. They’re just following directions.” Our top story: Despite monumental opposition, Governor Greg Abbott finally made his goal of undermining public schools a reality ... with help from Trump.

COYS! BIG WIN BOYOS

Books are worthless which is why Meta needed to steal more than 7 million of them

The most revolting Oval Office presser since Feb. 28 (the Zelensky one). Even just hitting a few of the lowlights of this will leave you sickened and dismayed. BUT it's also clarifying. Anyone who has been talking about "the road to authoritarianism" can stop that now. The road is behind us.

Ugh, nice little goal from the corner but then just a defensive collapse

A helpful guide to the current state of US trade policy:

Yes, it’s a bit hard to see now, but allowing the president to become a king who can kidnap citizens while also demolishing the global financial system is a small price to pay for getting to keeping 23 trans women from playing college sports.

"Every gun that is made, every warship launched, every rocket fired signifies, in the final sense, a theft from those who hunger and are not fed, those who are cold and are not clothed." -Dwight D. Eisenhower, 1953

My favorite little tariff detail is about ancient coins, apparently the tariff will apply depending on where it was minted so if a coin minted in 500 BC in what is now Greece, it gets the EU tariff rate. We need to start minting ancient Greek coins in this country damn it!

Ange in, VAR out

These VAR wait times are absolutely ridiculous

God, what a chance

Yes yes!

Oh come on.

Houston Blues scarf in the background of Chelsea's goal celebration. Lives in Houston and supports Chelsea? It's worrying to think that someone's life could lead to that

Choking up on national TV as you lament your falling stock price is weak shit, writes @timothypmurphy.bsky.social. And it gets to the core of how Musk operates. Far from a projection of strength, Musk's boastful threats show a thin-skinned man who behaves erratically in the face of adversity.

Trump on emissions standards for cars: "It doesn't mean a damn bit of difference to the environment. It doesn't matter."
