In a Fox News interview, Trump picked the Kansas City Chiefs to beat the Philadelphia Eagles. Before the start of the third quarter, Trump had already left the Super Bowl stadium, with the Chiefs trailing by 24 points. The Eagles went on to demolish the Chiefs by 40-22.
Trump was wrong yet again.

“Don’t feed the trolls” also extends to bad opinion pieces in papers of record.
They run them bc people react to them the most.
If we stop linking to bad columns and instead post thinkers we find valuable (& generate convo around it), incentives change.
It’s not easy and takes constant practice!

Republicans want to tell you what books you can read, what bathroom you can use, what words you can say, what history you can learn, what you can or can’t do with your own body and what gender you are… but tell me more about how the Dems are “coming for your freedoms”.
Idiots.

Just absorbing the fact that the first order of business in the new QAnon-inflected MAGA Republican era is to demand that Congress bury its report on sex trafficking and drug allegations against a Republican member of Congress who they're trying to promote to higher office.

The way Republicans are trying to suppress the vote recount in Pennsylvania and the way commissioners are defying them because “what are laws anyway” and their reasons to toss the ballots are “too trivial” is gratifying but kinda scary.
Also not a conspiracy theory. You can rd about it in the NYT.
