Looking at the 3rd quarter stats of week 2, it’s wild to think there’s that much Jalen Hurts hate that he is ranked in second half of QBs in this league

It is disgusting how the @nytimes.com has this on their front page when a US citizen was murdered in cold blood. Call it as we see it… at no point did the ice shooting/murder warrant lethal force

Trump, and the USTA, would hate it if everyone knew he was booed at the US Open so DO NOT SHARE THIS or else Trump will be mad!

The New York Times@nytimes.com

The U.S. Open men’s tennis final got off to a slow and confusing start on Sunday as thousands of fans were forced to wait outside Arthur Ashe Stadium because of enhanced security for President Trump’s visit. When Trump was shown on video screens, fans unleashed a loud round of mostly boos.

SFGATE columnist Drew Magary toured San Francisco's infamous Alcatraz Island to see if it could reopen as a prison, like Trump says.

Burnett: Do you like capitalism? Mamdani: No, I have many critiques of capitalism. Yes! For too long it has been taboo to discuss legitimate critiques of capitalism in mainstream US media. This has shut down any chance of implementing real solutions to social crises. A new day is coming.

Newsom: "Speaker Johnson -- his eloquence was elevated when he called to 'tar and feather' the governor of California. Very religious man. I guess that's the spirit. The word of the Lord."

The GOP wanted to impeach Biden for a fake $5M bribe from Ukraine that was made up by a guy sitting in prison for lying about it, but they’re cool with a $400M plane from Qatar. Do I have that right?

Lots of respect for Macklemore for always out there advocating for change. Nothing wrong with DJ “Cash Over Conscious” Khaled’s music. It’s just a shame when people, who have it, don’t use their power of influence in a more selfless way

"Unlike the chat in which The Atlantic was included, the newly revealed one was created by Hegseth. Named “Defense | Team Huddle,” it included his wife and about a dozen other people.... He used his private phone, not his government one, to access the Signal chat." www.nytimes.com/2025/04/20/u...

NEW: During a House subcommittee on elections, Rep. Julie Johnson (D-TX) tells Republican Secretaries of State that their states’ suppressive election practices “make it harder for people to vote in the name of rooting out 32 people who may have improperly voted.”

BREAKING: In an absurd moment, Commerce Secretary Howard Lutnick says that Americans should just “let Trump run the global economy… he's been talking about it for 35 years.” During those 35 years, he's gone bankrupt six times.

How dangerously untethered from reality is Howard Lutnick? “Let Donald Trump run the global economy,” he says. “He knows what he’s doing.”

Lutnick: "Let Donald Trump run the global economy. He's knows what he's doing. He's been talking about it for 35 years. You gotta trust Donald Trump in the White House ... it's broken. Let him fix it ... Let Donald Trump fix the American economy."

This is very commendable by WIRED. It's also very sad that other (previously) trusted and established outlets of the Fourth Estate can't even call a spade a spade and have to turned to sane-washing their headlines so they stay out of the crosshairs of this administration. It's time to step up!!

WIRED@wired.com

They're called public records for a reason. Starting today, WIRED will *stop paywalling* articles that are primarily based on public records obtained through the Freedom of Information Act, becoming the first publication to partner with @freedom.press to offer this for our new coverage.

a great life nugget from the mom: “I always tell my kids that you have to try to be the least amount of annoying,” Mrs. Dadson said I love my kids & they will be whoever they want to be. Everyone can be annoying at times but have some self awareness & realize www.nytimes.com/2025/03/23/s...

nytimes.comThe ‘Iconic’ Stare That Conquered the InternetMillions have been transfixed by videos of Karis Dadson, a California teenager who shows pigs at livestock competitions. She finds the whole thing very weird.

The White House Twitter account is wild these days… VP JD Vance just posted this: “Tell me you're a freedom-loving American without telling me you're a freedom-loving American. #FullAuto #Suppressor #50cal 🇺🇸 @VP” Are there any adults in the room? Feels we are getting closer to dystopia every day

Republican Rep Greg Steube of Florida, auditioning for his local high school play. His air quotes were ad-libbed and right on time. Great addition to the script that called for just “supposed war plan”. I think the orange man will like this performance

He goes back to script and ends his dialog with Tulsi by brings up the southern border as the “real threat” that wasn’t handled by the previous administration. It’s pretty sad to see a military veteran sink so low. He’s playing the deny, reverse, and attack strategy very well.

Kash and Pete aren't tarnishing anything with this carnival they're participating in. What kind of legacy is Tulsi Gabbard and this John Ratcliffe going to leave behind because of this?
