Do we seriously wonder *how* Barry Bonds is putting up huge numbers on his bike? 🙄

Dear Edward Martin, Clarify deez nutz. Sincerely, Robert Garcia

By all means, Boeing should definitely cut corners and ignore regulations to rush two new 737s into use as Air Force 1s. What Dear Leader wants, in this case anyway, Dear Leader should get. Also, press pool should do what it takes to get kicked off the plane.

If the US military drops $400m on cybertrucks, we will never win another war.

Musk: Unelected intruder, taking a flamethrower to the horrible, awful, overreaching and wasteful federal government without ever considering what each department does. Also Musk: Takes billions in fed subsidies.

Chris Licht has replaced Marv Albert as my alma mater’s most embarrassing alum.

Here’s a strategy: 1) establish the frames, what problems will these changes cause, how will they impact communities; 2) inspire people to use those frames to tell their own stories of their families or communities are impacted; 3) amplify those stories.

When he gave speeches straight from the text of Project 2025, which members of his cabinet and staff wrote, for which his running mate wrote the foreword, then denied he knew anything about it AND claimed to disagree with some parts of it, you bought it wholeheartedly. Trump. Voters. Are. Stupid.

Random thought of Mitch McConnell, who ran for Senate on a platform of “making Barack Obama a one-term president.” He failed and got re-elected and continues to piss on Kentuckians for six figures a year while in the full grip of dementia.

“We must choose between a party that neglects the poor and one that savages them, between a party that defers to the rich and one that deifies them, between a party that abjectly apologizes for government and one that demonizes it. 1/2

It’s so cute that people think the current admin will follow the rule of law on anything. Like we have an entire office of ivy-educated ambulance chasers looking for loopholes and supporting precedents on ev.ry.thing. We’re in trouble.

Apparently ICE has started raiding elementary schools. How young is too young to learn about the first, fourth, fifth and sixth amendments?

That an aide for *Mike Johnson* scuttled the subpoena of Cassidy Hutchinson over sexually explicit texts from Repub lawmakers leads me to believe that Johnson’s porn-monitoring agreement with his son needs some extra rules.

As long as we’re respecting indigenous place names… note that Nepalis call the highest point in the world Sagarmatha, while Tibetans call it Chomolungma.

Just thinking of this… youtu.be/1Y1cwKmRO0s
