Homeland Security doesn’t grasp the fact that the first Thanksgiving was about making “room at the table” for European “invaders.”

Correct me if I’m mistaken, but I feel like all we talked about when Disney bought Star Wars was how Leia was now a Disney Princess, but were we vocal enough about Mary Poppins officially being recognized as a Jedi?

Watching my first NFL game this year. In the current moment, Isaac TeSlaa’s name is…unfortunate.

Would happily go to the mat with anyone's uncle on behalf of any of these courses. I would probably volunteer to guest lecture a week in half of them.

"a single person of this demographic may have committed a crime, therefore we must punish the entire demographic" is a policy response you may recognize from fascist governments dedicated to ethnic cleansing elsewhere.

There’s a reason Caesar was forbidden to cross the Rubicon and return to Rome with his army. It’s what separates a relatively free society from a fascist one.

I’m thankful for those who stay informed and face these times clear-eyed but bravely…for the youth who harness their power to change the future…for the olds who trust the next generation and fight with hope for a world to come…and, of course, for baseball. ⚾️🦃❤️ #HappyThanksgiving

A sad irony in Washington, D.C., where West Virginia National Guardsmen were shot today. Six days ago, a court ruled their deployment was illegal, but stayed the order pending appeal. My heart goes out to these public servants and their families. oag.dc.gov/sites/defaul...

I always say that it's better to hold off on blaming a particular political side for an act of violence. Here's why I'm blaming today's national guard shooting on the woke left.

Good Fast Times article on New York Times headlines. I was interviewed. One thing I should have noted: the rage-bait comes increasingly from the opinions section.

Annoyed by a 'New York Times' headline? It seems like that's increasingly the Gray Lady's goal
Several ‘New York Times’ headlines in 2025 have earned severe social media backlash. Is it happening on purpose?

“Architect James McCrery II [has] concerns the 90,000-sq-ft [ballroom] could [violate] a general architectural rule: don’t build an addition that overshadows the main building.”

Which then gives Trump an excuse to knock down the White House and replace it with something bigger…🤔
