WILD!!! Those poor feet!

It was less than two hours ago that Damian Hall started loop 3 barefoot to prevent his shoes from getting soaked in the stream. Max King covered his feet in plastic bags. Barkley runners evolve. #BM100

Marjorie Taylor Greene's resigning in time to get a pension is a lesson to everyone. Most Americans don't get *any* pension anymore, but Congress gave itself a pension after only five years of work. Our "representatives" aren't working for us, they are [barely] working for themselves.

Just to review, in the last week the President of the United States: - Refused to condemn the rise of Neo-Nazis in his party - Tried to block the release of further evidence he sexually abused children - Encouraged the execution of Congressional Democrats Those are just factual statements.

Remember: The concentration of wealth in the hands of a few isn't just bad for our economy. It's corrosive to our democracy. When the wealthy and well-connected control our political system, regular people don't have a voice. The result? The demagoguery and corruption we're seeing now.

Pope Leo is not mincing words about the “grave crimes” being committed against migrants in certain places. It’s no wonder the Vatican took a full week to publish this speech in English. But now they have, and we can spread the message. (via @colleendulle on IG & the Inside the Vatican podcast)

Trump: I demolished the People’s House for my big beautiful ballroom paid for by my rich friends so we can throw lavish parties while millions starve without health care. Tonight… The People: Our turn, motherfucker.

A little close, don’t you think? Isn’t he married? I’m sure the sofa is livid.

Cost to fund SNAP and keep 42 million people from starving: $100 billion Cost of lost revenue due to tax cuts for the richest Americans in the top 1%: $100 billion One is decried as "welfare." One is not. Why?

It feels like taxpayers are footing the bill for a dying tyrant’s wish list. A ballroom. A triumphal arch. A war in Venezuela. He’s got people lobbying for him to get a Nobel Prize for the COVID vaccines. No bequest for the American people in his dying days, though. We’re not important to him.

Israeli officials are openly defying Trump’s so-called Gaza “peace plan.” The defense minister says bombing will continue after hostages are returned and that Gaza’s tunnels will be destroyed “under U.S. supervision”. Call it what it is, it’s not peace, but a US backed siege.

Apropos of nothing in particular this morning, I've been told that, in essence, there are two things that physicians can't do at the White House medical unit: MRIs and surgeries. Virtually anything else can be done there if you have to or want to.

Seriously

@warnock.senate.gov: "You know that it's a critical moment any time Raphael Warnock and Marjorie Taylor Greene are essentially saying the same thing. That doesn't happen often... She saw that the premiums of her own adult children will go up so much in 2026 that their healthcare is unaffordable."

Oh Mikey, the ER probably won’t treat her in a red state anyway.

Mike Johnson: "If you're a young, pregnant American citizen women who shows up in an ER and you get treated and they pay the hospital less for treating you than some illegal rabble rouser who came in from some South American country to do us harm, that is wrong."

You’ll never be able to convince me ripping an American citizen out of their Chicago apartment in the dead of night, zip tying their hands and refusing to let them call their lawyer is ‘America First’
