It’s just so appalling and enraging how casual and commonplace this has become. I’m out of words.

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."

This season has been tough to watch. The Falcons are now 2-6.

Buffalo's electric league play continues, taking down Bowling Green 31-24 on the strength of halfback Messiah Burch, who rushed for 100+ yards for the fifth-straight game to help seal the victory on Saturday afternoon: www.bythebelt.com/buffalo-bull...

If you get nervous watching the total add up at the grocery store checkout, I’m fighting for you. If you put ten bucks at a time in the gas tank just to get through the week, I’m in this fight for you. If you’re a billionaire looking for more tax breaks, I promise I’m not your guy.

Vivek Ramaswamy is unfit for any public office. At any level. And the sooner this conman and low life is off the public stage, the better.

I feel like no one told me and definitely no one asked my permission when "compute" became a noun. Like I'm a friend to all nerds. But this was a little out of hand. And shld have been reined in.

Mere seconds after Ramaswamy takes the stage in Columbus, an attendee begins yelling at him for his ad with Amy Acton's mother about childhood abuse

John Kohlstrand reposted

Two thoughts: This false, despicable ad is proof that Vivek Ramaswamy knows he is about to lose to Amy Acton. No mother who loves her daughter would do this. Her complicity reveals her.

Amy Acton's brother slams Vivek Ramaswamy featuring her estranged mother in a campaign ad. "This desperate, disgusting attack reveals exactly who Vivek Ramaswamy is at his core – a pathetic excuse for a man who is willing to hurt anyone as long as it gets him what he wants."

John Kohlstrand reposted

Vivek Ramaswamy's at that part in the campaign where the pollster says you're probably going to lose and doing this desperate thing could help but most likely not, also it'll be a stain on your conscience. Being Vivek Ramaswamy of course he did it.

if it does flip, reporters will never go there again

Greg Sargent@gregsargent.bsky.social

Remarkable: Dems are growing optimistic about flipping Mahoning County in Ohio, a major destination for reporters looking for voters in Trump Diners. Dem internal polling shows Trump at minus 11 points in the region, which is a stunning collapse. New piece from me: newrepublic.com/article/2167...

Today we learned that a Zacharia is 5/11ths of a Scaramucci. Units of time in the MAGA cinematic universe are like the British monetary system before decimalization.

The Washington Sun@washingtonsun.com

President Donald Trump has fired Katie Zacharia from her post as White House press secretary after less than a week on the job, according to a source familiar with the matter.

Some people Vance has accused of ingratitude or similar: Abdul El-Sayed Kamala Harris Zohran Mamdani Ilhan Omar Joy Reid Volodymyr Zelensky I couldn't find any white Christians.

JD Vance calls El-Sayed "a little weasel who should shut his mouth and show a little gratitude"

I left x despite having a large following bc I don’t want to make free content for the world’s wealthiest racist. It’s not worth it to me.

Republican Rep. Andy Harris incorrectly told a reporter they were breaking the law as the reporter and others recorded an exchange with him last night. Harris had just wrapped up a debate with Democratic challenger Dan Schwartz.

Trump on Jon Husted: "I don't do this with men very often. I started examining his body, because I didn't know he was a great athlete ... I looked at his ass"

This Pat McAfee guy, whoever he is, picked Sacramento State. Bowling Green proceeded to thrash the Hornets, 38-10.

"College GameDay's" analysts seemed to revel in their lack of knowledge about Group of Six college football teams on Saturday, bothering some viewers. awfulannouncing.com/espn/college...

Americans see this for what it is - President Trump is abusing his power to go after political opponents weeks before an election.
