Jason Kander

Full @60minutes.bsky.social story of Operation Bella is now up on YouTube. youtu.be/UaVgr4NunUg?...

The Kansas City Hustlers played in the Men’s Senior Baseball World Series last week. 7 games in 5 days. I had a great tournament (1.094 OPS). I also stole 5 bases. Today I head home bruised, bloodied, blistered, sunburned, sore all over and filled with gratitude.

Twin Pines Entertainment officially launched Tuesday as a premium film and television studio to create projects with an emphasis on sports.

I’ve been listening to Wyatt Flores for a little over a year. Kid is a complete fuckin star.

Kason Jander I think

If you’d told me 10 years ago this headline would exist I’d have thought you were nuts, but I’m enjoying the ride. www.google.com/goto?url=CAE...

Been working on this for about a year and a half and am excited to finally tell the world about it. A new and interesting professional chapter for me for sure. variety.com/2026/tv/news...

Watching the season premiere of Law & Order and it's all about prosecuting the CEO of an AI company for creating a murderous program. This is called "losing the center."

Buying diesel from Russia instead of ending the war with Iran as a way to lower prices here is like taking a payday loan to pay off the credit card you used to buy a house you can’t afford … as a way of lowering your credit score.

The political equivalent of handing a child an iPad so you can have ONE NIGHT of adult conversation.

Today is the 5 year anniversary of Operation Bella youtu.be/UaVgr4NunUg?...

Raise your hand if today feels like the 25th anniversary of the day your childhood totally ended. It’s just a strange anniversary. Personally, I was a college student in DC who decided that day I would join the military and volunteer to go to war.

Endorsement Alert! Amendment 6 is bringing Republicans and Democrats together to protect the power of Missouri voters. (learn more and get involved at respectMOvoters.org)

Don’t know of anyone held in contempt but the first guy to have the job died in a duel.

Congratulations to Secretary Hoskins on having avoided being detained for contempt by the Missouri Supreme Court by deciding to do his job and follow the law. Always good to see a fellow Missouri Secretary of State succeed!

ok but if I had been his consultant I would've suggested a visual involving a sport in which he could appear . . . kind of athletic?

This is . . . not a good ad.

If they make Cocktail 2 and snub Elizabeth Shue for a younger female lead we riot. variety.com/2026/film/ne...

Jolene is just a generationally unbelievable song written by a generationally good human.

Bella, 5, was about to take a bath. She suddenly ran past the toilet and across the house to the guest bathroom where she emptied her bladder on the floor. “Sorry, Dad! Just one second too late!” “Why did you run past the other toilet on your way here?” “I saw a spider in there this morning!”

Majority 54 Live with me and Ravi September 28th, 7pm, in Kansas City. A regular M54 episode with a bonus discussion about Ravi’s new book The Invisible List. You get a copy with your ticket and Ravi will sign, as well. See yall there! www.eventbrite.com/e/majority-5...

I’m 45 and I play competitive amateur baseball. What’s cool about still playing a team sport with a high degree of seriousness other than everything? My fitness does not revolve around “bulk and cut” or aesthetics. I build muscle in the off-season and I maintain it while playing April-October.

Every few months, out of curiosity, I'll search my name on twitter and bluesky to see what people say about me when they decide not to tag me. It never disappoints. Today's find: "Jason Kander is a great example of dorky face hot guy vibes."

Cape Verde is the size of Kansas City. I promise you there’s hardly a person in that country that doesn’t personally know at least one player on that team. Can you imagine how proud they must be of them?

@jasonkander.bsky.social & Ravi Gupta interview @stephruhle.bsky.social to discuss massive crypto grift, SCOTUS alarming rulings on birthright citizenship, executive power, campaign finance, & voting rights, as the right-wing supermajority hands Trump even more power. www.youtube.com/live/7qEs6-G...

I lived in Washington, DC from 1999-2005 while I was in school. I never once looked at the reflecting pool and thought it needed improvement. I thought it was cool that the water was dirty because it helped me resist the urge to swim in it.

The billionaire class’s baseless smear of all non-governmental charitable organizations as useless and rife with fraud is a smart move by people who would prefer not to pay more in taxes or be expected to give generously to charity.

Really hard to imagine becoming a trillionaire and not wanting to immediately liquidate enough assets to give at least a few hundred billion to organizations making the world a better place.

I’d watch a 10 part series about Ivan and Viktor Drago fighting for Ukrainian independence a few years after the events of CREED 2.

I read it in a day. Thanks again for writing this, @jasonkander.bsky.social rainydaybooks.com/book/9780358...

Hegseth claims the dumbest phrase in military history is “our diversity is our strength” 1. He’s wrong. Our diversity is a strength. 2. The dumbest phrase in military history is “personally owned vehicle” because whether said in full or as an acronym (POV) it is still more syllables than “my car”

Oh cool. The plan was dumber than we could have imagined. www.nytimes.com/2026/05/19/u...

I understand the argument for how Israel’s national interest was advanced in this war. I do not in any way see how our interests were anything but severely harmed.

Praying for the American air crew currently on the ground in Iran.

Markwayne Mullin is appropriating the adventures of his fellow plumbers with his tall tales about going into harm’s way.

Trump said we had to attack Iran to avoid a war which is like telling a woman, “we have to have sex so you don’t get pregnant.”

Cancel the MLB season and give me six months of this. Team USA is only invited if it can remove the stick from its ass and remember the joy of this children’s game.

Trump is shocked Iran didn’t surrender out of the gate, because he cannot put himself in the mind of a soldier (American, Israeli, or Iranian) willing to die for their country. “But he ran again despite being shot at!” It was get re-elected or die in prison. It was about him, not his country.

This game is already wild. Best players on the planet and yet baserunning mistakes in back to back half innings. USA made the 2nd out at home with Bobby Witt coming to the plate. MEX and made the 3rd out at 3B with Arozarena coming up!

Another American service member died today in the Middle East. President Fortunate Son played golf.

The World Baseball Classic is my favorite sporting event and it’s not close. I can’t get enough.

Rewatching Mighty Ducks 2. Some minor plot holes. When it starts, Gordon Bombay gets hurt playing pro hockey and he’s like “What am I gonna do? I need a job.” So he works in a sporting goods store. He was the best lawyer in Minneapolis SIX MONTHS AGO!

Markwayne Mullin is like if all of ICE were just one person.

Trump didn’t fire Noem for incompetence. He fired her for admitting he approved it.

As thiugh we haven’t put these people through enough. www.usatoday.com/story/news/w...

War is a terrible and disgusting thing. Waging it by choice rather than by absolute last resort is reprehensible. May God forgive us.

Unpopular opinion. Hegseth is fit and he shows it off under the pretense of setting a standard. Criticizing or dissecting his workouts is silly. He’s strong, can bench a lot, and those making fun of his pull-ups have never attempted a Murph. He’s still a terrible leader and person. Focus there.

@jasonkander.bsky.social & Ravi Gupta of Majority54 discussed how #DonTheCon support is faltering, right-wing podcasters are telling MAGAt voters not to vote because #Pedophile47 has failed on almost all of the promises he made, & more. 👏🏻 www.youtube.com/live/zh3Hx_4...
