My son today called Democrats in Congress the Washington Generals of politics and I think he should be the designated writer in the family.

I love what Victoria Mboko is doing on the tennis court but I'm especially grateful to her today for dismantling Jelena Ostapenko, easily the most obnoxious player on the WTA tour.

Mboko will now be in the top 10 and climbing.

Even if the world pretends it isn't happening
Even if the politicians are silent
Even if you worry that people will think you are crazy
It doesn't mean that you can't do something.
Because you can still speak up.
Silence is complicity.
And we will not be complicit.

Two of them were convicted drug traffickers. But hey, they were former NFL players so they shouldn’t have to endure those kinds of things on their records. As usual, follow the money.

It is about mental health and lack of resources.
Be kind.

2 (maybe 3?) years after WestJet tried to charge us extra for accessible airport transfer included in our package, this time @aircanada.bsky.social vacations has done it. I’m so disappointed, youve made such progress on accessibility since those bad old days of in 2022. Say it ain’t so.

Nope
Is there any prominent figure from the Trump administration that HASN'T been caught lying?
Howard Lutnick misled the American people about his relationship with Jeffrey Epstein because he didn't want to admit he continued interacting with Epstein even AFTER Epstein was convicted of soliciting a minor.
 
It's a disgrace. Lutnick needs to resign as Secretary of Commerce.

🚨In December 2016, Epstein invited Bill Gates to his island and informed him that “new administration people” were visiting.

This was sent exactly one month before Trump was inaugurated for his first term.
