Out on the town having the time of my life with the other Ohio Republican political candidates who thought the ad buy was a good idea. They’re all just out of frame, laughing too.

I have greatly enjoyed watching America feel the same things I have felt about Vivek Ramaswamy since the fall of 2003

Decades ago they joked that there was no more dangerous place to stand in Washington DC than right between Chuck Schumer and a TV camera. But for some reason this schmuck can’t work up a press release for a Democratic member of Congress being persecuted by the president.

Truthout@truthout.org

Chuck Schumer — one of the most powerful Democrats in the country — has not issued statements to the press or through his social media channels about the administration’s attack on Ilhan Omar, which critics have described as a five alarm fire for the state of democracy in the U.S.

Hard not to notice that Democrats who are doing the best are the ones who are leaving this whole civility-and-norms, we-go-high, we-need-a-strong-Republican-Party bullshit behind and are simply giving Republicans exactly what they all ought to get at all times, which is undisguised contempt.

Sen. Susan Collins helped steer millions in federal defense contracts to Navatek, whose CEO illegally funneled thousands of dollars to her campaign. The FBI sought to launch a probe and was eyeing Collins and other lawmakers. Then Trump gutted the unit in charge. THREAD 🧵

LMFAO -- Trump is holding an event at the White House right now but there's no audio because the press pool isn't there. The Newsmax host notes that this is an example of Trump's attacks on the press "backfiring just a little bit"

Can you imagine if White House correspondents had the courage to support each other the way the opening acts on Sheeran's tour are supporting Macklemore...?

One of the coolest things about people who don't have a lot of power taking a principled stand is it lays bare the complete cowardice of the ones who actually *do* have power when they fail to do even a fraction as much.

Macklemore: Palestinian children are people. Robert Kraft *actively getting a handjob from a strip mall prostitute he refuses to tip*: We must ban this hate speech from every stadium in America. Let me call up my friends, the Epstein client list. Ed Sheeran: Good point, sir. Both sides, sir.

To every reporter who stands there as Trump shouts down one of your (almost always female) colleagues with insults and bullying behavior without standing up for them -- you know the rest of us can see and hear you, right?

Q: On the checks, we have $40t in debt. If your economic policies are working, why do you need an incentive for people to turn out to vote? T: I'm doing it as a reward for having to put up w/Biden Q: You also offered tariff refunds-- TRUMP: Not you Q: And that didn't happen T: You're the worst

If Dolly was our constant reminder that it was Good to be Good, Tim Curry was our reminder that it was Good to be Weird. Embrace your strangeness, sing with Muppets, wear your lingerie with a leather jacket, and fuck with uptight people who hate anything that makes them remotely uncomfortable.

Kim Mulkey signed a player from Russia earlier this month. Last week, she said a "conflict between two countries" wouldn't stop her from improving her basketball team. Now, Kate Koval, whose father serves in the Ukrainian military, is leaving LSU. www.usatoday.com/story/sports...

Enes Kanter just got in a yelling match with Natasha Cloud after he came onto the court and he's being ejected from the building. He had to be escorted out.
