The #1 way to explain America working properly is by saying “comedians can make fun of he President on TV.” A good way to explain fascism is “the President forces companies to fire those comedians as a condition of allowing them to conduct business.”

Pretty sure it’s not the federal government’s job to “liberate” people who voted for the mayor and governor to serve in office.
Kristi Noem: "We are not going away. We are staying here to liberate the city from the socialists and the burdensome leadership that this governor and that this mayor have placed on this country and what they have tried to insert into the city."
Sen. Alex Padilla is then forcibly removed!

Sure, the bloop singles in that inning were bad luck for the Padres, but you can’t be walking Victor Caratini to start things. (Just like it didn’t help to walk Paredes to start the last inning.)

In a column I wrote late last year for The Athletic, which is owned by The New York Times, I mentioned that Trump was a “convicted felon.” That reference was edited out by the executive editor despite my argument that it was a fact and not an opinion. 👇🏾
The president of the United States is a convicted felon. Seems relevant to today’s news. Yet a search of the New York Times website shows the term “convicted felon” hasn’t appeared there since Jan. 23.

REPORTER: Are you gonna make it US policy that the US wouldn't defend NATO countries that don't pay their fair share?
TRUMP: Well, I think it's common sense. If they don't pay I'm not gonna defend them. No, I'm not gonna defend them.

As a former athlete & current researcher of online rumors & disinfo, today's atrocious example of the "right wing bullshit machine" in action — anchored on a truly idiotic claim from a football coach turned GOP senator about trans girls making girls sports "extinct" — enrages along both dimensions.
Tuberville: "We're getting to a point now where women and girls sports and getting ready to be extinct. Because already in states across this country, we have high school teams that are made up of totally boys participating against girls."

Great night at Snapdragon for @sandiegofc2025.bsky.social opener despite no goals. But bad look for club & city that many fans felt compelled to do homophobic chant 3 times during 2nd half, prompting PA & scoreboard messages. Be interesting to see what SDFC & @majorleaguesoccer.bsky.social do next.

This is re: Trump's EO to ban trans persons from the military. Reyes is a federal judge. If I got this etherized in court I'd walk into the fucking sea. bsky.app/profile/mike...
![REYES: [The order] calls an entire category of people dishonest, dishonorable, undisciplined, immodest, who lack integrity, people who have taken an oath to defend this country, people who have been under fire, people who have received medals for taking fire for this country. I want to know from the government whether that language expresses 'animus.' Does that express animus? DOJ ATTORNEY: Not in any constitutional- REYES: In a commonsense way. This is a policy from the President of the United States affecting thousands of people ... to call an entire group of people, lying dishonest people who are undisciplined, immodest and have no integrity. How is that anything other than showing animus? DOJ ATTORNEY: I don't have an answer for you. REYES: You do have an answer, you just don't want to give it... People can make solid arguments as to why some or even most transgender people shouldn't be in the military We're dealing with unadulterated animus. We are dealing with the president of the United States dealing with a group of people serving their country... calling them liars. (Reyes then said she changed her courtroom orders to bar people who graduated from UVA law school from appearing before her because "they're all liars and lack integrity and are undisciplined and can't possibly meet the high rigors of benign a lawyer for the government" She made the DOJ lawyer sit down on that basis, then after he did, she called him back up and asked whether that was a display of animus.)](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:mmtjkssv6jeneahkgfdxuy7p/bafkreicmr3wybkn6acxmmdf4vuqnzxho2nk7kp3v7tx7vkclg2cjmwvixm@jpeg)

Hesgeth and Vance use the Washington D.C. airliner-helicopter crash to make anti-diversity, equity and inclusion points, suggesting it was to blame for the collision.
The Vice President didn't even open his remarks by referencing the victims or families - just straight into anti-DEI points.
