Elected Republicans are coalescing around the talking point that CBO's tax cut estimates are complete fiction and that tax cuts pay for themselves.

Well, CBO's 2018 and 2019 revenue estimates - which included the previous year's TCJA - were ... 99.5% accurate. 🧵

Congrats to the Crab 5 on the best buzzer beater victory of the tournament!

Tonight is the ‘lluvia de peluches’ at Real Betis. The annual tradition of stuffed toys thrown on to the pitch and collected for disadvantaged children ahead of Christmas. An estimated 15,000 toys are expected for collection.

Ok so given today's stock market, can we start calling Trump a disaster for the economy already? He's not even in office yes and screwing things up.

What did the Bears just do? It SO looked like someone called down from the both and said "don't win you idiots it will hurt our draft pic!" and they consciously backed out of FG range lol.

Thanksgiving soccer has been a tradition in the U.S. A century ago, on November 27, 1924, the American Soccer League played a full slate of matches on Thanksgiving day.

Well, I made it through most of the Welcome to Wrexham finale ok, but when they busted out the full, 1st Rocky movie, music from the bells for the critical moment...yeah I was crying like a baby man. Awesome show.

Man, it's nights like this when I wish we had more ET on Bsky.

Why is the title of this article not "Biden saves Thanksgiving!" so tired of headlines that make sure Biden is in a bad light. www.cnn.com/2023/11/01/b...

I'm so sad to see the news that Matthew Perry has died. He gave a perfect, delightful, original comic performance on Friends that was a crucial part of the show's success and longevity. And he talked frankly and with great decency about his long struggles. He'll truly be missed.

Camden Yards is going crazy! I'm not sure I've ever seen so much orange in my life (and I went to grad school at UT Austin). Come on O's!!!!!!!!!!
