Which Republican genius came up with the talking point to label millions of ordinary Americans peacefully protesting their government as paid Marxists who hate America?

That’s really what you are going with?

That we hate the United States of America?

Fuck you.

Had some primetime travel delays, but the "Three and Out" column has posted. I discuss the defensive discipline disappearing act, the potential need to protect Joseph from himself, and an emerging item for the '26 shopping list: www.detroitfootball.net/p/three-and-...

Three and Out: Defense's discipline disappears, Joseph could require Decker's plan, and an item for '26 shopping list

A surprising sight in St. Clair County, Michigan: A man waving Fixodent denture cream before the county commissioners at an August meeting.

“I am an unfluoridated child,” he declared, “with a set of uppers and lowers.”

Pretty sure a 4 win team would be in first over a 3 win team

A Lions loss tonight would put the Packers in first place in the NFC North, dropping the Lions to #6.

The Chiefs are still not in playoff position, no matter what happens

"To be a Republican in 2025 represents a clear public confession that you either don't know the difference between good and evil and you're so morally empty that you can't be bothered to begin to try, or that you do know the difference, and you prefer evil." Great essay from @juliusgoat.bsky.social

The Crime of Human Virtue

Sometimes it really is as simple as good vs. evil. This is one of those times. Human virtue is our great crime against the fascist project; it's also our great weapon against it.

When you wake up, here's a mailbag to hopefully help with the sadness.

I put out a call for mailbag questions, and you delivered in a big way. Not wanting to disappoint, you’re in for a pretty epic Q&A.

Just to be clear, this is EXACTLY what Pete Hegseth said, word for word, on video in a formal announcement:

“We’re signing a letter of acceptance to BUILD A QATARI AIR FORCE FACILITY at the Mountain Home Airbase.”

A final check-in with Gio Manu following his debut, and more specifically, following the film review of his debut. On a young lineman who knows it wasn't good enough and isn't particularly interested in anyone's silver linings: www.detroitfootball.net/p/lions-manu...

Lions' Manu doesn't want anyone sugarcoating his first start: 'I fell well short of my standards'

Following his first NFL start, those closest to Detroit Lions offensive tackle Giovanni Manu have tried to be encouraging. He doesn't want to hear it anymore. As far as he's concerned, it wasn't…

Senate Republicans blocked Democrats' bill that would have reopened the government and saved health care for millions of Americans.

This is the SIXTH time they've done this.

Republicans are responsible for this shutdown.

Adelita Grijalva won her election fair and square.

Now House Speaker Mike Johnson is refusing to swear her in because she would be the final signature to release the Epstein files.

Mr. Speaker, respect democracy. Obey the law. Swear Representative Grijalva in immediately.

Donald Trump has declared this to be a warzone. Maybe our memories are hazy, but any veterans out there remember inflatable animal costumes dancing during combat operations during OIF or OEF?
