60,000 people being asked to exit to an uncertain job market. Should turn out great 👍🏻

Ramaswamy has produced an attack ad weaponizing the rape of his opponent, Amy Acton, when she was 12 years old. It features Acton’s mother, who abandoned Acton after she was raped by her step-father, fleeing the state with her husband. Here is the corporate money helping fund that ad.

Who wants a sky filled with cars? Sounds like the worst Coldplay song of all time.

If someone breaks laws and you choose not to hold them accountable, you have effectively rescinded said laws. That applies to constitutions as well. This is an immutable, non-negotiable fact. Any analysis of what Democrats should do once they regain power that does not acknowledge this is worthless

I don't have a problem with anyone else eating a veggie burger, but if I see Bill Mitchell eating one, I'm calling him a bitch.

you can actually hear the firemen and the chaos in the background as he makes the call bragging that trump tower was now the tallest building in NYC www.youtube.com/watch?v=aPve...

My biggest Loser opinion which I nevertheless believe to be true is that early morning wake ups are a disease which should not be encouraged by society. 8 AM should be the equivalent of the crack of dawn in the new utopia

Why is democratic Rep. Lori Trahan is working with Republicans to block states from regulating AI? Contact Rep. Trahan's office: act.link/gi-bioju690

Can we all also just take a step back and recognize that Anthony Fauci had no public health policymaking power whatsoever He was director of a *research institute*, and as a virologist he was mainly brought to the Trump taskforce to provide intellectual cred & heft

my memory of the tea party is that shortly after their appearance the republicans would go on to capture all branches of government to this very day so actual positions aside im not sure why people think comparing them to the DSA is a negative

it’s pretty obvious that a lot of people remember that COVID lockdowns were unpleasant and from there just extrapolate that they were therefore bad policy

If AIPAC's commitment to arming a rogue state isn't enough for you, I cannot emphasize enough that this organization is just a slush fund for GOP donors to influence Dem races. Their donor base is mostly conservatives who want Republicans to win.

media when maga wins an election: we must travel the country and speak to these voters and extend empathy to them and give credence to their bigotry and false beliefs media when the left wins an election: is this the end of the american experiment

Jeff Kent getting inducted in a Hall of Fame that doesn’t include Barry Bonds is absurd.

MLB would like you to Stand Up 2 Cancer while the MLB commissioner sucks up to the Trump administration that’s gutted cancer research & doomed people to death.

RIP Lindsey Graham. You taught me it was okay to be a coward whose only skill is debasing myself until death for a tiny, ultimately illusionary crumb of power.

This Independence Day let's, for the first time in a quarter of a century, stop humping the military. bsky.app/profile/gove...

I’d love to hear what this walking heart attack considers “being an American”.

Has Buster Posey gone into hiding? Maybe. And it's probably a good idea, given how he stacks up against the 9 other top execs in Giants history. www.mccoveychronicles.com/san-francisc...

"vote blue no matter who" is unfortunately completely irreconcilable with "we need to burn out corruption root and stem." sad to say making this omelet is going to take longer than we had hoped

Help! Creep.

I revived the Hangingsliders newsletter and went long on the @sfgiants.com's embarrassing and homophobic Pride Night. hangingsliders.beehiiv.com/p/the-giants...

let's give it a try though

I’ve never really been an Our Tax Dollars guy but all the blatant corruption, ballroom, slush fund for rioting pedophiles etc is really throwing me into a permanent state of rage and bloodlust. Something’s gotta give

Just a reminder that the leaders of the Democratic Party will not commit to impeachment. This is blatant corruption and theft of tax dollars.

Now he says the San Jose effort was really just to gain leverage for a new Oakland stadium? He'll say anything. He will flip-flop a billion times. He will rebuke anybody who asks him to make sense. If he can make John Fisher smile, Wolff is happy.

My thought: Lew Wolff always has been and will be an ineffective blathering flim-flam John Fisher and Bud Selig sycophant www.nytimes.com/athletic/721...

Somebody said millennials usually use their laptops (instead of smartphones) for major purchases, including booking flights. I can’t stop thinking about this.

It was revealed last week that Trump got a $10 billion bribe for helping steal TikTok and give it to his right wing billionaire friends under the pretense of national security and it barely enjoyed a two hour news cycle

Every other team in the WBC has demonstrated a love of country, baseball, their fans, their teammates, and a love of joy itself and Mark De Rosa and the U.S. team have offered nothing but gross pro-military horseshit. They're just the worst and I hope the D.R. hangs a dozen runs on 'em.

Your periodic reminder that “Israel’s government” and “the Jews” aren’t synonymous.

"Lashes Out" Iran has been attacked by us, they're at war with us, and they are hitting a legitimate U.S. intelligence target and you're editorializing to make them sound like an irrational, spurned lover or something. Grow the fuck up man. bsky.app/profile/john...

This is an insane story.

The #Mariners' Josh Naylor provided a nice moment Tuesday by greeting history-making umpire Jen Pawol before stepping into the box. "It’s not hard to be inclusive and welcoming and happy. I think it could change the world.” (via @shannondrayer.bsky.social) sports.mynorthwest.com/mlb/seattle-...

Democrats -- and, especially their dumb voters -- didn't want court reform. We're living in as much of a liberal reality as we are a conservative one.

Every accusation is a confession.

I guess now the question is did Tony Clark go in there expressly to undermine the union, like how Democrats get elected to undermine democracy.

my opinion on the Bad Bunny halftime show, and non-English music in general, is that i think a need to “be able to understand the lyrics” displays an embarrassing shallowness of the speaker to appreciate the voice as an instrument & to appreciate music as something other than a lyric delivery system

I, personally, have never sent an email like this to a child molester four years after they got out of prison. I think that sort of thing should be “frowned upon.”

I fucking despise the majority of Dem politicians - especially leadership

absolutely insane that dems leadership are to the right of half the george w. bush white house on defunding DHS and abolishing ICE

Firing a few key faces at the top while maintaining the the fundamental system is one of the most common appeasement tactics in history. Don't settle for Bovino. Don't settle for Noem. Don't settle for Miller. ICE must be abolished. That is the bare minimum.
