There are 33m companies in the USA. Only 21k employe 500 or more. And they only make up 23% of workers. Trump and Elon are ignoring the more than 32m entrepreneurs that can't afford to build a new factory or pay tariffs or absorb cancelled contracts.

America First, America Last…what’s the difference?

41 years and two days ago, John Thompson, Jr., became the first coach to win an NCAA men’s basketball title. Not for nothing, but he was a DEI hire — a qualified candidate who just happened to be a person of color.

@amandacarpenter.bsky.social followed! 😀

Is there a portal for suburban dads?

John Feinstein, for me, was the person you idolized professionally and couldn’t believe you became colleagues with later in life. He was a legendary sports writer when there were such things, a prolific author and a Dad. Godspeed. Can’t believe you’re gone. www.washingtonpost.com/obituaries/2...

"Leave the ball, will you George?" Gene Hackman was a Plaza Hotel doorman in NYC when his former Marine CO saw him and told him he'd amount to nothing. Within six months, he joined the Pasadena Playhouse, moved back to NY and changed his life. Godspeed a great one. youtu.be/Do7U7AkA5jA?...

The truth does not mind being questioned. A lie does not like being challenged.

Hey, a lot of democracies and former nations would die for a run of 248 years. Be proud of yourself, America; it was a good country while it lasted.

The more the craziness of the past month heads toward the courts, the more I realize that someone must have signed a non-aggression pact with attorneys on both sides -- because they are the ones cleaning up the next four years.

I told Elon Musk his father should have used a prophylactic today on his site. I don't like that side of me. So I deleted my Twitter account. I'm here to stay.

Coach Strom has been coaching at Haskell Indian Nations school for 25 years. Fired Friday amid the D.O.G.E. purge, he's determined to finish the season without a salary to ensure his kids have a season. This is @BillyMillsGold's alma mater. Please help if you can. www.gofundme.com/f/support-co...

Proud to have been baptized Episcopalian today. Proud to say my father, a recovering alcoholic, graduated from the seminary at 50 and served as a priest in the Anglican Church the last 20 years or so of his life.

Change is certain. Growth is optional.

@jenrubin.bsky.social I appreciate the passion Jen; I just worry it’s lost on the masses.

I once heard that Washington was Hollywood for ugly people. Never truer words than today.

I hope the check is worth the price of Snoop’s soul.

The last time an NFL QB cost himself this many millions, Tom Brady was buying Sam Bankman-Fried’s line about how much his crypto currency was gonna be worth. Sam Darnold went from a top-tier, quarter billion QB right back to somebody else’s emergency stop gap until they find a real franchise QB.

Anyone who knows Sam Darnold’s family, tell them to stay off social media until, like, August. I don’t think I’ve ever seen a QB who’s had a Pro Bowl season look so lost in the most important game of his career. He’s not even looking for his receivers; he’s looking for his mommy. Painful to watch.

It was good to see the Commanders win today. I was at Washington’s last playoff victory — also in Tampa — 20 years ago. They have a lot of great fans who deserved the feeling they had today. It doesn’t change the past 20 years, but it feels like a better day.

Hearing from several L.A. film-industry friends that the Oscars will be rescheduled and instead a major fundraiser, probably a telethon, will be held to help the victims of the wildfires.

I’m b-a-a-a-a-ck.

Why Trump’s Education Secretary nominee Linda McMahon shouldn’t be anywhere near children: In a suit filed a month ago, 5 former WWE "ring boys" allege she and her husband knew they were being sexually abused as kids by three now-deceased company officials — and did nothing but enable the pedophiles

As promised, dog pic. Nachito, the Mexican street dog we adopted two years, hit the lottery. (OK, we did too).

Thank you, Cece!

Q: I’ve read numerous stories about the Trump dance and athletes from soccer to football using it as a celebration thing. Having once been the king of pseudo intellectual stories trying to make stuff a referendum on culture and society, I find most of these stories drivel. Am I missing something?

This guy’s profile could easily be mine. Why I came here:

@zprospero.bsky.social hook me up. Just joined two days ago. I want to be on the list. I ghostwrote the greatest autobio of all time: Shaq Talks Back. (Okay, it was not that good)

@jay.bsky.team joined two days ago. I’m not sure you guys know what you’re doing. I’ve yet to be a) threatened with bodily harm b) ratioed c) had my account suspended or d) DM’d by a really attractive woman telling me to part ways with my wife and my money. You sure this medium can last? 😜 (Thanks)

This is really weird. I’ve been on @bsky.app for a day and have yet to tell anyone I want to beat them with a garden hose, set them afire and put them out with Gretchen Whitmer’s heels. I feel, like, nicer.

I’m really worried for Jake Paul tonight. He should not have taken this fight. Needing a straw to eat your Thanksgiving dinner is no fun. #TysonLives

Nachito, recreating E.T. closet scene.

Goodbye, Muskrat Hello, Blue Sky. The struggle is real. Let’s do this.
