Best early season road game the Avs have had since like 2021 and all I can think is because they haven’t had a pesky power play to annoy them

Dr Oz: "Turns out that about 1/3 families don't have the number of babies they desire. They're under-babied. So this president committed to address that during the campaign and he's delivering on that today."

similar to his inflation posts which had a reasonable sense of "the news is covering this heavily to try and hurt democrats" but instead leapt into the world of "denying that groceries were expensive"

love the standard stancil argument. He comes to a defensible conclusion like that No Kings does have value even if it's more of a "step one" but because his brain is cooked on posts he is forced to jump to insanity like that its "bigger than the civil rights movement"

Usually this stuff eventually adds up and you just see a complete collapse of the system of government, one way or another. Probably fine though. Some interesting names in the Rockies GM hunt.

Kinda crazy how the country just doesn’t have a constitution anymore

The New York Times @nytimes.com · 1d

President Trump on Wednesday signed a memorandum expanding his administration’s authority to repurpose unspent federal funds to pay members of the military during the government shutdown, escalating his challenge to the authority of Congress on spending matters.

Trump Signs Memo Expanding His Authority to Spend Federal Money

The president gave Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth wide authority to repurpose funds to pay members of the military without approval from Congress, which has the sole constitutional authority to decide federal spending.

The Colorado Rockies have gone 223-414 since this tweet about the haters and losers

Tweet from April 2022

I better not be seeing "fans" jumping back on the Rockies bandwagon. If you weren't on it this offseason, there is no more room. Only the real ones left. Good thing about Twitter is we can find the receipts.

really going in on the no kings equals no paychecks line is extremely odd to me.

Bessent: "This crazy No Kings rally this weekend, which is gonna be the farthest left, the hardest core, the most unhinged in the Democratic Party, which is a big title. No Kings equals no paychecks."
