beautiful moment in Wawa today… older dude, probably 70-75, wearing a sharp tan suit with a crisp colorful button-up underneath, waiting in line with a coffee young guy, probably 20-25, walks up and taps him on the shoulder “yo, you look fresh as hell, man” old dude might still be beaming

Wisconsin is one of two states I've lived in whose insularity leads to the kind of evolutionary cultural craziness you find in animals in the Galapagos or language in isolated settlements. This is what hath been wrought in the name of sausage

Convening a focus group of 30 people who have no idea what's going on and no expertise on basically any topic and just turning them loose. "Fuck me up," I tell them. "Just give me all the dumbest stuff you've got."

The pedophile protection party’s president is laundering right-wing conspiracy theories through the most corrupt DOJ in American history. Whenever the news turns bad, this creep reaches for one name: mine. So let’s make it crystal clear. My name has always been Ilhan Omar.

There is no reforming this. Everyone involved must be permanently removed from civic life.

“A 79-year-old CO pastor who lost 35 pounds and the strength to walk after 13 months in immigration detention has been released by order of a federal magistrate judge. The government ignored requests for a wheelchair. Instead, 3 other detainees carried Rev. Edward Nalwamba to a waiting vehicle.”

MattY is incredible because this a worse response than any of us could fabricate while making fun of his dumb ass.

A helpfully clear exchange here Hasan: "So your argument is that [Minnesota ICE protesters] should stay at home because immigration is a salient issue for Donald Trump. Opposing ICE is only going to help Trump. Wait until we win the election in 2028." Yglesias: "Yes that is what I would have said"

A story on a night that it’s hard to believe happened: LeBron James and Jaylen Brown playing in Philadelphia (for the Sixers), a gross half followed by a euphoric half, another masterful halftime adjustment, a 29-point comeback complete. Read this one: www.phillyvoice.com/sixers-vs-ca...

It's because the Republican platform is simple: They want to sexually abuse children, and they want you to pay for it.

Genuinely wonder what Ramaswamy's campaign guys saw in their poll tests that made them think this would work.

there’s a ton of important detail in this first interview of Ilhan Omar since the homeland security raid on her house, including something she says almost in passing—she and her family have to move now, because her address was made public, and they receive too many death threats to stay there now

It's a choice (a bad one) to tell readers this driver "passed too close to cyclists" when there's video evidence showing he drove his car into them, made contact and hurt someone. Fellow journalists: we can explore the nuances of punishment for drivers without obfuscating their dangerous behavior.
