there are a million things worse in the report, but a random billionaire hornball starting a beauty pageant for 14-to-19-year-olds is a red flag you can see from space, and I feel like society should have been better about saying "Hey hold on there just one minute buddy"

RFK: "There's five hundred million Arabs in the world. And yet they don't produce science. They don't win the Nobel Prize. They don't win the Fields Prize. They don't win the Wolf Prize. They don't produce literature."

A new survey of 1,000 American adults found that the strongest supporters of transgender sports bans are not the people who admire women most: they are the people who hold the most hostile views about women. www.helenwebberley.com/news/transge...

Social media loves talking about how everything is getting worse. But what’s something that you’ve seen get _better_ in your lifetime?

The goal for GM isn’t to create great cars that their customers love, it’s to raise their stock price from $80 to $110 by convincing rich people that they are on the verge of creating the car of the future that will do your laundry and suck you off

We found that as of right now 73% of your campaign donation goes back to the consultants and vendors (!!!), four times more than just 20 years ago. Only 13% to ads. Even I was shocked.

The narrow-minded bigotry and xenophobia which defines JD Vance’s political career-best highlighted in his lie about Haitian immigrants eating people’s pets-is rightfully denounced by El-Sayed But the bigger problem isn’t Vance’s racism. It’s that so many Americans gleefully support it at the polls

Abdul El-Sayed on JD Vance: "I think America is big enough for all of us. His view of America is small like him. It's about pointing to other people and making the argument that the reason *you* don't have is because of *them.*" El-Sayed came on our pod. It's good: newrepublic.com/article/2168...

LaPorta quite literally broke his back for the team. He's 100% correct in saying that if the Lions don't pay him what he thinks he's owed, some team will pay him that number. Pay your good players.

GM just announced the biggest stock buyback in automotive industry history. Instead of investing in their workers or new product lines, GM executives are robbing from the future to pay themselves and their shareholders today. Stock buybacks should be illegal.

Jan Crawford is CBS News’s longtime Supreme Court correspondent and she’s especially close with Alito. Just a fun little insight into (1) who is providing you with ostensibly straight news about the Court and (2) how their brains can be just as cooked as the brains of the justices they cover.

This is a really striking tweet.

If you would try to win by abandoning trans people (or any targeted group) you can save this “we need to win” talk; there is no “we.” I am about solidarity, and you have chosen anti-solidarity. You are not any “we” I recognize. You are the enemy I’m trying to defeat. Beating you is how my “we” wins.

3 weeks to the elections, Americans ask: "what can you do about the rising cost of living?" the government responds "we are doing a better job of honoring Christopher Columbus than anybody, also, we are going to shoot a guy on live TV"

If you ever needed an image to reinforce the theory that Jim Harbaugh only took the Chargers job as his Get Out of Jail Free Card from the Michigan legal disasters, well, Denny’s got ya covered.

Denny Carter@dennycarter.bsky.social

I don't think Jim Harbaugh has any place in the modern NFL. He's a dinosaur in every way, especially when it comes to fourth down decision making.

Just asked Victor Wembanyama if he’d ever consider promoting a sports betting company. “Absolutely not. I will never do that. Honestly, I think it's very sad to see some players promote it. .. Everybody does whatever they want, but without me.”

It is really remarkable that in a time of historic impasse in Congress, with both houses have been reduced to complete standstills despite a mounting number of political, economic, and ethical crises, both parties have spent months working to pass a bill limiting the pay of college athletes

wanting to talk to your friends is healthy, which is why i support getting more cocaine into our nation's schools.

Beer isn't addictive. It makes you more sociable and is a great way to spend time with friends. That's why I have eight of them a day: because I love talking to my friends so much

New: Macklemore says Robert Kraft — who owns Gillette Stadium, where Macklemore & Ed Sheeran were to perform later this month — called Sheeran. Kraft rallied other owners together behind an ultimatum for Sheeran: if Macklemore stays on the tour, you won't be allowed in our venues.
