The Kennedy Center is on the verge of destruction; the members of its board, filled with foreign policy grifters and billionaire wives, serve as a kind of cheat code for understanding the crimes of Trump 2.0. A great taxonomy to the staging behind the scenes: prospect.org/2026/10/13/k...

Love this for Jalon Daniels! Rock Chalk!

“A single-payer universal health care system could cover every American, save more than 100,000 lives a year, and still cost $1 trillion less than the system it would replace, according to a new preprint study led by researchers at the Yale School of Public Health.” ysph.yale.edu/news-article...

NYC Bar opposes the nomination of one of its own members, Todd Blanche, to be attorney general, saying he lacks the basic professional integrity that the position demands. A stinging and very detailed assessment. www.nycbar.org/reports/oppo...

As always, massive disappointment is the only thing heading home.

Campos: While I want to thank CBS news for funding this generous gift towards my education, I want to acknowledge how the recent direction of the outlet stains the legacy of Mike Wallace, the namesake of this scholarship.

The passing by OKC on the last 2 possessions was next level.

Reporter: What do you make of Republicans saying that Virginia— AOC: Wah wah wah. We have asked Republicans for 10 years to ban partisan gerrymandering. And for 10 years, Republicans have said no. What they’re just mad at is that they have been accustomed to a Democratic Party that rolls over.

There is evil and then there is this

I don’t know which conservative Democrats need to hear this history lesson, but the German elected officials who voted to fund the Gestapo were considered Nazi collaborators. History is watching.

Saint Paul schools will be closed Tuesday and Wednesday to prepare for optional online learning. I’ve seen schools close for snow, for pandemic, for natural disaster. I’ve never seen schools close because of threat from our own government.

i think even with all the atrocities of the fascists, nothing is more demotivating and nothing makes me want to disengage from politics more than being inundated with replies from people who do not know how to think about politics beyond “dems good and wanting more from them is bad”

"Argentina's done it. Russia's done it. Turkey's done it. Venezuela's done it. And Zimbabwe's done it. It's a thing that tin pot dictators do... right before starting a hyperinflation and destroying their own economies."

It doesn't happen as much as it used to, but sometimes Steph gets it going to a point where everything opens up for the Warriors offense and we get to see beautiful basketball.

if you are talking today about how bad maduro was and were alive, at all, during the run-up to the iraq war you are potentially the dumbest person to ever live

Randomly flipped over to Pels/Bulls, I am sick and this is probably a cry for help, and saw 1 Zion transition possession that gave me hope for him/the Pels again. I want Zion to be good/healthy so much.

It’s crazy to think about the crimes we’re going to learn about after this regime ends. We’re already hearing about Watergate level crimes every week. Imagine what will come out after it’s over. We’re going to need a full accounting of all that’s been done in violation of the constitution.

Tell me you don’t understand risk pools without telling me you don’t understand risk pools

Important to understand this. There's a reasonable chance that your Dem Senator who voted against it and is acting mad now was in on the play. It's the same reason why they scheduled the surrender for AFTER the election this week. They didn't want people pissed at Dems right before an election.

Not that he didn’t already know, but now Trump knows for sure he can roll the Dems every time and there’s no need to negotiate for anything

Didn't Tuesday's election results show that it actually WAS working???

Sanders: That is a totally meaningless gesture. You can get 100 votes here and it won't mean anything because the House is not going to take it up.

The NBA on NBC is back, check out the new intro with Roundball Rock

Fire Butker into the fucking sun.

In his Oval Office address on political violence, Trump lists the attempt on his life, the Scalise shooting, and attacks on ICE agents. He does not mention Jan 6th, the attack on the Pelosi family, the Hortman murders, the kidnapping attempt on Gretchen Whitmer, or the fire at Gov Shapiro’s house.

Here are some things that Charlie Kirk said in his life. The man is dead, and so it only seems fair to share his legacy by cataloguing the values he spread while alive.

This guy keeps walking the walk

"but crime is a real issue, people are worried about crime and you have to take that seriously" No you don't! If people are getting more scared about crime while crime is happening less frequently, it's a made up issue and you should make a point of yelling that all the time

Just listen to how Stephen Colbert answered this question off the cuff.

Imagine if the Democratic Party actually helped Zohran instead of trying to kneecap him at every step. A better party is immediately possible if they stop shoving money into the anti-trans combination Racism Dial/Money Toilet and instead get behind candidates people actually want.

The takeaway from this NYC mayor race is to have a vision and express it. Believe in something and fight for it. You have to be more than an empty suit running on a fear of Trump and trying to maintain a status quo that doesn't exist anymore.

It is 100% carrying water for the opposition to participate in this collective delusion that Dems for some reason need to answer for every teen who throws a rock rather than hold the Trump admin accountable for intentionally creating chaos and breaking the law to stoke violence. They are in charge.

OKC dunked the ball to go up 3 with 11 seconds left. Jokic on bench. Denver has 0 timeouts. OKC fouls 90 feet from the basket with less than a second going off the clock. Make it make sense. What the fuck was Daigneault doing?

This is part of what’s so insane. As they talk about re-shoring and manufacturing they are actively trying to destroy an entire us manufacturing industry that already exists.

This is the kind of shit I've wanted to hear from Democrats. Now we need to see more action showing how they have realized that they need to change. Less talk about how they need to work for the average/poor person and more work. If democracy was really on the line in 24, start acting like it.

Holy crap. The DOJ is arguing that the President can unilaterally deport anyone he wants without ANY statutory authority, just on his inherent authority as President over national security. That is a terrifying claim to make and not one that has ever been recognized before in US history.

It’s important to say: MAGA does not care about America, or Americans. It’s all a charade to concentrate even more wealth and power in the hands of a tiny few. They don’t believe in the American values of freedom, democracy or freedom for all. They only care about lining their own pockets.

Everything the Trump-Musk administration does is about their Billionaires First agenda. They’re trying to destroy every part of the government that works for working people, and replace it with a tyranny that works for billionaires. They’re waging a war on working people.

This whole country wants bad things for others more than they want good things for themselves.

@hollyanderson.bsky.social You saw 8 mm in theaters with your dad when you were 15? Wow. I saw that shit in college with friends, and we walked out after silently and will forever be haunted by a roommate who didn't go asking about the nudity in it and whether or not it was hot.

There is lots of blame to go around. Increasing flights at Reagan was reckless and stupid and done to appease Delta and a few other powerful people. Firing the head of the FAA last week because Musk has an axe to grind was stupid. A shortage of air traffic controllers isn't helping anything.

@samvecenie.bsky.social Do you have any thoughts on Flory Bidunga as an NBA prospect? He's not on your last big board(unless I just missed him). Despite that, I see KU fans insisting he's 1 and done(which i think is silly). Just curious as to what someone who actually knows prospects thinks.
