Rep. Rosa DeLauro: "On the food stamp issue, the money is there! Let them not get away with saying they can't do it. Their political will isn't there to feed the people who rely on the SNAP program which is the most effective anti-hunger program in the USA."

Eddy has a new teammate who is Black and from Zambia, who is open about being intersex (assigned female at birth/not trans) and people thinking she's male because of what she wears.

Between that and them sharing the bench/competing for minutes, hard not to see this as a very mean personal attack.
Deeply disappointed in Liz Eddy here, who I've always liked and respected. A reminder that we have a lot of work to do when it comes to educating the public about why trans inclusion isn't just morally correct, but competitively sound share.google/Gjf9a1Sl01eL...

I missed this news.

“In a June 13, 2025, news release, the Army announced the swearing-in of 4 tech executives as lieutenant colonels, a rank that typically takes nearly two decades to achieve… all of the executives either currently hold or once held senior positions at Meta, Palantir or OpenAI.”

Our @seattlekraken.com have recalled defenseman Ville Ottavainen from the Coachella Valley Firebirds. No official update on Ryan Lindgren, who left last night's game after taking a puck in the head/neck area.

Was quoted in the New York Times again today.

This story is about the increase in WNBA ticket prices.
Once upon a time, the WNBA gave tickets away. They are not doing that anymore. People want to see the WNBA now!!

If you couldn’t attend a No Kings event but want to do something to resist and help an ICE target… sign the petition for Rodney Taylor.

He’s a disabled double amputee who’s been held for months in ICE custody.

He was days away from receiving
new legs when he was taken.

The Phoenix Mercury are down 0-3 and will be without Sabally.

In my latest for @cbssports.bsky.social, I outline why Sami Whitcomb might be the player to step up if Phoenix hopes to force a Game 5.
