Team thrilled to be part of another “special” holiday lineup.

Keldon Johnson on how Spurs boast “multiple guys that can have a night.”

Weird that the FCC Chair had no issue with Kilmeade wanting to euthanize homeless people.

Musk is trying to buy votes in Wisconsin. Resend this if you’re from Wisconsin and you’re not for sale.
Not satisfied with purchasing a Presidential Election to become co-President, Sissy SpaceX now wants to buy himself a Supreme Court judge in Wisconsin.

You can end his shopping spree, Wisconsinites! 🚫 💰

Here’s a tagline idea I offer free to the National Academy of Television Arts and Sciences:

‘The Emmys: We give awards to stuff you’ve actually seen.’

The abrupt way the top judge advocates were removed, coupled with Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth’s animosity for the JAG corps, has stirred concern the firings were meant to give commanders a freer hand in combat and ease constraints on the use of deadly force. www.expressnews.com/news/article...
Three below-the-radar Trump firings could have huge implications
The president's Feb. 21 Pentagon purge took out the chairman of the Joint Chiefs. Trump also sacked three lesser-known figures with crucial military roles.

One thing Democratic leadership could do right now is to name an alternate HHS secretary--someone to provide ongoing public updates and health information. And do it for other departments too. Start showing voters what a Democratic government would look like--press conferences, speeches, all of it.

My opinion of the Luka trade is that it completely obliterated the NFL from the news cycle during the week leading up to the biggest football game of the year.

Elon Musk weighed in on the German election, saying only the AfD party, a group with neo-Nazi ties, “can save” the country. It was not the first intervention by Musk on behalf of once-fringe anti-immigrant parties in Europe.

Just once during a dystopian fantasy when society has collapsed and only a hardy band of people survivors I want one person to stop and say, ‘Well at least global warming’s not a problem any more.’

Sad to see all these people pandering to new Brazilian users instead of doing what I’m doing: enjoying a nice Saturday afternoon sipping a caipirinha and vibing to the bossa nova stylings of João Gilberto.
