Four generations of my family have served our country. Service is in my blood. The President wouldn’t know anything about that.

A word on Fulham. Great point yesterday. Keeps them unbeaten in the PL in five games. Things had looked a little hairy before that. But #FFC still need to spend. Harry Wilson in fine form and getting his flowers, after a couple of years as one of the PL's most underrated players

Very odd lineups for Liverpool at #FulhamFC this morning. Both teams have 2 goalkeepers on the bench. Both missing key offensive players. #COYW
🎙️NEW POD🎙️
🤞 After a draw at Palace can we go 5 unbeaten when the Champions visit the Cottage?
❔Who should Marco call on to repeat the trick from our win last year?
🪄 Can TC have a big influence for #FFC in 2026?
🤷♂️ Are Liverpool under Slot still a team you can get at?

What the KENNEDY Center used to be…
Remember that time Aretha Franklin performed at the 2015 Kennedy Center Honors, paying tribute to Carole King, who co-wrote “You Make Me Feel Like A Natural Woman,” and it brought a tear to Obama’s eye and everyone to their feet? And Carole King’s reaction. Wow.

DEMS WIN BIG IN IOWA: Democrat Renee Hardman wins IA State Senate SD-16 with 71.5%, a 27-point Dem overperformance from 2024. Harris won the district by 16. Hardman's victory blocks a GOP supermajority and makes history as the first Black woman elected to the Iowa Senate.

Quickly the privatizer cuts costs and delivers poorer services until there are virtually no public services.
Reminder: Privatizing the government transforms public services that serve all of us into wealth extraction devices that serve the wealthy.
There's nothing inherently smart or mysteriously efficient about privatization. It's just another way for corrupt people to wring value from your life.

It's about the oil.
It’s not about isis or terrorism or Christians or Muslims.
What does Trump want from Nigeria?
Natural resources. Same as Greenland. Same as Venezuela. Same as Canada.
The more natural resources you control….the more power you have.
