🏈 RBs in the '25 NFL Draft 🏈 Kupp, Diggs, Mason signings 🏈 @mattwaldman.bsky.social's incredible RSP 🏈 A tribute to every player named Brooks it's all here, baby! (pod link is 👇)

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.

🔥 PETE ON HEGSETH-GATE: “An epic fuck-up… these are not serious people… if there are no consequences, all the bluster from Trump about merit was bullshit… we deserve so much better…”

Hey @gallego.senate.gov - from one Marine to another - how about you stop hanging out with right wing billionaire Marc Andreesan and get off your ass and do something?!

Getting real tired of Senate Democrats constantly having clever reasons for why they're doing nothing. "If they were dangerous," the Trump admin would not need to use extrajudicial process to ship them to a foreign labor camp, they'd use standard deportation tools.

Keep sharing this because it is vital to understanding this moment. The timing of his entry into politics after this trip, the one position he’s held firm on (at odds with past presidents of both political parties) and the unraveling of the post-WW II world order. www.politico.com/magazine/sto...

The Democrats are lucky to have a politician like @aoc.bsky.social in this moment.

No shit Sherlock. Welcome to the world. My lord. Someone show this guy to a retirement home:

I am begging blue state governors to have lunch this week with your adjutant general of the National Guard. Cannot stress enough how important this relationship is going to be in the near future.

Donald Trump is a weak coward, who has never done anything difficult in his life, thinks all caps tweeting is tough, and threatens Allies because hes too scared of Iran/Russia/China And he wears MAKEUP CONSTANTLY. LOL

Useful idiots. The lot of them.

Yasiin Bey is not just my partner in Black Star. He's my brother, my comrade, my mentor and one of my biggest inspirations. This is truly my family. We are blessed to be on earth while he is here. Check out his first episode of People's Party #peoplesparty #hiphopsky youtu.be/ZDEeOY-s6Ss?...

BREAKING: Elon Musk's rocket explosion nearly hit a commercial flight. This kind of content is being downranked on X. Please share it here. This is so dangerous.

This is awesome. @jackmack12.bsky.social is a legend. Thanks for sharing.

“Transitioning” from 50 straight months of job growth, a 400% rise in manufacturing construction and the best back-to-back years for the stock market in a quarter century. 🤡

Veterans, you know this poem? Yeah, Elon and Trump finally got to us on the list, veterans. Did you speak out before when it was someone else? What are you going to do now?

The new VA secretary spoke to PBS. I worked at VA headquarters from 2009-2012 and can tell you a few things: 1. He's lost and has no idea how the Department of Veterans Affairs actually works 2. He will oversee the most significant degradation in services since the 1970s 3. Veterans need to prepare

A lot of Irish Americans — too many of whom are MAGA —need to draw on their immigration history of being starved out of their home country by a hateful, imperial occupier enforcing deliberately cruel laws. It is a sin to view people as ‘other’ when your ancestors suffered that fate.

Alina Habba on veterans who have been fired from government jobs: "Perhaps they're not fit to have a job at this moment."

Marco Rubio is like having Tom Wambsgabs as Secretary of State, a man whose ambition is to be an empty suit, on board to take any stance, say anything, whatever the boss wants, and sponge up some of the pain that comes back, all for the trappings, the title, the plane rides, the suits, to be there.

If you're a white dude with some flexibility in your life, get a group of your like-minded bros together & go to these events to act as counterbalance to these "private security forces." Get in their way. Occupy space. Ask for their IDs. Outnumber them. Make their fascism difficult.

You GUYYYYSSSSSSS The military choir sang Do You Hear the People Sing from Les Mis at the governor's dinner at the white house. Thanks to @beebrookshire.bsky.social for helping me fact check tihs one. As far as I can it's only "officially" been posted on Dan Scavino's FB

@ericcrossmlb.bsky.social hey! got your newsletter (thank you) predicting dynasty rankings in 2028. Do you really think Konnor Griffin will be higher than Walker Jenkins? You didn't have Jenkins in the Top 15 but listed Griffin as a dark horse.

Wish he would run for office.

Filmmakers have tried unsuccessfully for 20 years to make a great Iraq or Afghanistan war movie. Every major American conflict has them, even the 1991 Gulf War. I've only seen the trailer and read reviews for My Dead Friend Zoe, but I think director Kyle Hausmann-Stokes may have finally done it.

Los Angeles peeps—spread the word about ICE. We won’t know for sure until it happens, but better safe than sorry. Be prepared.

THIS. Vote (most) of them out especially @schumer.senate.gov @hakeem-jeffries.bsky.social
