I was really hoping for a true Christmas miracle this year, but I guess America still can’t have nice things? 😕 IYKYK…

It’s very American to shame the woman more than the guy.
I think some sympathy and self-criticism is not out of place here, but you do have to find a way to acknowledge that the main reason the video went viral in the first place is because it was very funny
At a Coldplay concert in July, Kristin Cabot appeared on the Jumbotron in the arms of her boss. Cabot retreated, trying to make things right with the people who mattered most. Now, for first time since that viral moment, Cabot is sharing her side of the story. trib.al/I8tWdU4

The NFL can afford to go to a 50-man game day roster, a 10-man practice squad and a greater percentage of guaranteed salary if they want an 18-game season so badly. Callous greed is why it pushes the latter at the expense of the former.
The football gods are cruel. Or, are they trying to tell us something?

As NFL stars deal with season-ending injuries, let’s end the 18-game season talk
Yes, these injuries could've happened in Week 1 as easily as Week 15. But why heighten the risk with an extra regular-season game?

When you find yourself agreeing with Rand Paul more than a third of the time, you start to question whether we’re now living in a simulation or if the rest of the GOP has become that unhinged?
Rand Paul on mid-decade redistricting: "I think it's gonna lead to more civic tension & possibly more violence in our country. Think about it: if 35% of Texas is solidly Democrat & they have 0 representation, how does that make Democrats feel? I think it makes them feel they're not represented"

The question is not whether or not the Trump administration is authorizing and committing war crimes. (And many other crimes.) The question is what our government is going to do about it. That’s the piece that’s missing in Trump 2.0.

I listen to the NYT The Daily pod all the time while I work. Generally, they do a great job. But their weakness is one tied to the Times itself…as “the paper of record”, they tie themselves into knots to be as inoffensive as possible. It makes many people think Trump isn’t racist or senile—

Just because our SCOTUS says the President is above the law while in office (basically…and how did this work for Biden?), him authorizing the murder of foreign citizens and making war plans against Venezuela without Congressional authorization should be at least worth a conversation, right? #Trump

I have no sympathy for 2024 Trump voters…
Also…the news media is predictably making a meal out of Trump’s about face on releasing the Epstein Files, but there are so many ways that this can and will still be obfuscated that it would be foolish to think Trump ever pays a price for what’s in there.

Removing a monument honoring Black US soldiers has nothing to do with DEI. It’s erasure of history and it’s straight-up racism.

The GOP has always been uninterested in providing any government services that aren’t military and border enforcement. (See…Project2025). And if Mike Johnson opens the House, that pesky vote on the “Epstein Files” awaits.

I dunno, maybe no one, 0% of people, should support a president that would starve his own people, threaten war in a half dozen countries, solicit donations to fund an executive mansion ballroom no one asked for and who is openly racist and anti-free speech?

Forget No Kings…at this point I’d settle for an administration of No Trolls. Or at least one that didn’t actively hate all the people they’re supposed to govern. Even Putin or Kim Jong-Un wouldn’t post something like that to their social media.

Awful lot of free promotion of the #NoKings protests this weekend from the administration. I wonder who’s perhaps eager to try out their “plenary power” theory this weekend? Be smart my protesting friends…
