Vaguebooking one’s boss is a bold strategy…

One former president made a joke that requires understanding that The Cheesecake Factory is not “rich folks luxury.” The current president said he “doesn’t give a damn” that people are suffering because of high gas prices. So I can understand how independents & the media think both are bad. 🙄

While I want everyone to be able to vote freely there’s some beautiful irony in Trump’s dismantling of the postal service suppressing his voters.

This would be hilarious if it weren’t so dangerous. Putin is actively fighting US interests in Trump’s war of choice, while Trump continues to be Putin’s puppet. Wild stuff.

The Blues are not very good and not all that fun to watch at the moment.

This is Obamalike, in the best way possible. Not President Obama, but Senator for sure. He’s going places.

The real “trickle down economics.”

I’m not sure why folks are surprised by Brazil… you all realize we reelected Trump after his coup attempt right? You think his voters cared whether he was convicted on that or not??

It’s striking that when Palestinians throw rocks at Israeli forces they’re shot. When Israeli “settlers” do it, the police make a few arrests at the end of the whole thing.

Seems like smart Dem operatives would start planting half hearted “don’t they support Trump?” stories about these GOP members trying to quietly fly under the radar like Sen. Collins.

Like give certain megalomaniacs enough money to buy their way into the most corrupt government in our countries history and then kill all foreign aid?

I bet the package didn’t have enough testosterone, that’s why I got captured.

Again, Iran wasn’t close to having a nuke. We’d already bombed them and (according to this admin) totally demolished their nuke program setting it back decades. Less than a year later we “had to” start a war giving Iran control of the strait? But be thankful or Iran would… control the strait. 🙄

So definitely not then.

This pen is so impressively terrible lol.

That’s an unfortunate couple of posts back to back. Maybe work on not spreading for a minute, I’m just sayin.

18 US service members. Several THOUSANDS of people have died.

I understand using Pac’s name for wider exposure but write the damn headlines without making it seem like he’s the one being tried. “The man accused of killing Tupac…” was too tough?

Siri, illustrate exactly how out of touch and incapable Dem “leadership” is: Jeffries and Kushner Meet Privately as Midterm Attacks Fly www.nytimes.com/2026/08/23/u...

I can’t stop watching the Joshua Báez home runs. #stlcards

We are all paying for Trump’s pointless war. finance.yahoo.com/markets/arti...

Have a game, Alec! #stlcards

Getting pretty tired of waiting for the #stlcards to do something.

They’re gonna make the deal, confirm Blanche and then reimplement the slush fund and immunity “deal” and Cornyn will pretend to be surprised.

The Dodgers traded for the best pitcher available because they had a surprisingly deep talent pool in the minor leagues and the owners will claim this proves they need a salary cap. #standwithMLBPA

What the Iranian attack confirms is that Trump is no longer capable of operating in the real world when it dissents from the Trump as God Emperor narrative. He can't process information that dissents from the narrative. Thus he cannot lead or protect us; and we are in danger bsky.app/profile/did:...

Well I certainly agree the American people are feeling the military in ways we haven’t in the past.

Cubs plate 7 runs before the #stlcards get their first hit.

It’s important to remember we bombed a school full of little girls right off the bat. “Look what we’ve done here” indeed.

“Just drink milk raw” clamors the “health” movement feeding you shit-laced lettuce.

Dude has worked 22 hours over the last 17 days and wants sympathy and a pass for not knowing his regime is murdering folks in the streets.

ICE murdered two people in less than a week. Claimed they were “ramming their vehicle”. They said the same about Marimar Martinez who they shot FIVE times. She survived. Went to court to get the body cam footage released. Proved them wrong. Every shooting since they’ve left no survivors:

This morning in Biddeford, Maine, a 26-year-old man said goodbye to his wife and daughter and left for work. Moments later he was dead, shot in the head by ICE agents, the second man ICE has killed in six days. ICE is killing our neighbors. ICE cannot be reformed. Abolish ICE.

Is @kenwhite.bsky.social unbanned yet?

The #Brewers & #StlCards have roughly the same offense. The pitching staffs however are not close. Brew crew are 2-3x better there depending on how you cut it. A fairly obvious observation but this series should make it a lot easier for Bloom & co to sell at the deadline.

According to the AP my high school girlfriend didn’t dump me, she “called [our relationship] into question.”

Iran/Japan, Putin/Zelensky, no big deal… it’s not like the man’s words are orders that have to be followed or anything.

Given McConnell’s handling of the SCOTUS seat, this whole episode somehow seems like a fitting bookend to his career.

James Talarico is what happens when you nominate someone who’s a decent person. They call him weird, imply he’s gay, and question his manliness. Graham Platner is what happens when you nominate a scumbag. There’s a difference. Dems need to step in & put an end to this shameful campaign.

#wordpress folks should check this out!

I don’t know soccer, but I know hating on the refs! That’s some bull crap!! (Note: I didn’t see the play)

Republicans like to claim we have the best healthcare in the world to justify the insane costs we pay. And now these “pro-life” folks want to deny mothers access to the best healthcare money can buy? 🤔

I am a former Republican voter, am still quite a bit further right than many Democrats, and even I know we have to overhaul #SCOTUS. Thomas & Alito don't even try to pretend anymore.

Any truth to the rumor Roberts asked Bobby Finn to read the Slaughter decision?

looking forward to future SCOTUS discovering other exceptions when a future Dem POTUS tries to use the Slaughter powers

Shorter #SCOTUS ruling: You can pretty much do whatever you want to the plebs, but don't mess with our money.
