This week, before the government shuts down, would be a particularly good one to procure a gajillion of these stickers and plaster them everywhere: grocery stores, shuttered hospitals, your skyrocketing electricity bills, etc. www.offmessage.net/p/meme-ify-t...

The Hoosiers are laying an absolute beatdown on #9 (!!) Illinois 🔴 ⚪️

The FAA also needs to contend with skyrocketing incidents of toxic fume exposure. According to WSJ reporting, there were 108 fume events per million departures in 2024, far higher than the 33 per million the FAA previously estimated. Internal industry documents suggest it could be as high as 800.

AVIATION UPDATE: The Trump admin announced a pilot program to allow electric air taxis to conduct test flights carrying cargo and passengers before vehicles are certified by the FAA. Plus, toxic fume exposure is on the rise, moving FAA headquarters will come at a huge cost, and more. 🧵

Just realized the president implied yesterday that fishermen should stay out of the water because the U.S. may think you have drugs and kill you, and it's just a blip that barely warrants coverage.

The Phillies are National League East champions for the second season in a row after a 6-5 win in 10 innings at Dodger Stadium.

🎉🎊 Wouldn’t be a big Phillies win without a couple heart attacks along the way

NL EAST CHAMPS AGAIN 😤

NEW: Trump and his allies in Congress are continuing their war on the administrative state: 8 independent agencies now lack a quorum to fulfill key functions. Our @kjboyle.bsky.social writes in @prospect.org on how this puts the public’s safety, financial well-being, and civil rights at dire risk.

The “come on ride the float” NFL ad is definitely written by AI, right? No human-written ad copy is that bad

Tyler Allgeier is great but maybe on 3rd and short don't do the exact thing MIN expects you to do on 3rd and short? As a treat?

Here is the @uaw.org statement on the arrests at Hyundai (h/t @lfelizleon.bsky.social)

What do you call someone who supports a President that he thinks is Hitlerian?

All time bad tackle. Let him score!!

The Baltimore Ravens are already in playoff form!

"The most practiced play the Bills have in their arsenal." ...fade to Keon Coleman

Appreciate the Bills proving that the tush push is only a cheat code if you’re the Eagles

Lamar Jackson ends this play at the BUF 46

DeAndre Hopkins one handed TD catch, whew

gotta throw that bills fan out forever

Carlos Alcaraz wins the #USOpen in 4 sets over Jannick Sinner

“He’s a football player. Football players play football during football season.” Romo is in mid-season form already (derogatory)

Dupont farmers’ market haul 🐀

This is what democracy looks like! A people united will never be defeated. We want federal forces out of DC NOW! #WeAreAllDC #FreeDC

Mississippi State takes the lead late and beats Arizona State

Sinner v. Alcaraz (2025 x 3)

The US open needs to adjust its scheduling. No semifinal (especially one this high caliber) should ever be so empty!!

Amanda Anisimova gets a 3 set win over Naomi Osaka #USOpen

That’s a gruesome hit but genuinely what is Blankenship supposed to do there?

How JT Realmuto's clear check swing sounded on Brewers TV 1/3 #RingTheBell

So is there still time for Belichick to call it quits and go back to Manningcast?

FINAL: Phillies 10 - Brewers 8 Game of the year?

The fightins!!

Cade Klubnick. Please. Show us something

Hey, @mattyglesias.bsky.social, have you literally just not left your apartment? They’re in every single metro station, all over the mall, and doing checkpoints on 14th and U. DHS is all over Hispanic neighborhoods and harassing uber drivers. You genuinely cannot not see this. Go outside.

like so many products to come out of silicon valley in the last decade or so, AI is a legal innovation masquerading as a tech innovation. the legal theory seems to be that AI is entitled to everything but liable for nothing.

Krasner: So, if what you have is a group of ICE agents, or even the military, coming into Philadelphia and committing crimes—assaults that are illegal, kidnapping, unlawful restraint, obstruction of the administration of justice—they can be prosecuted.

D.C. has more residents than two U.S. states. They pay more per capita in federal taxes than any other state. But they don’t get a serious seat at the table to decide how they’re governed. D.C. statehood now.

Durantula 🕷️> Big Dumper 🍑

In its inaugural video, The Argument asserts that it's liberals who are too often yelling "stop." But the examples cited are a protest against an offshore wind farm (featuring a Trump poster!) and a NIMBY protest against a Democratic plan to convert a motel into temporary housing.

If Biden had arrested a white guy for carrying a pistol without a license and then posted his picture from the official White House account Trump would have given the guy the Presidential Medal of Freedom and he’d be our ambassador to Japan

wow Mamdani really is ruining New York

🚨WHOA. According to @haleaziz.bsky.social, the Trump admin was actually going to implement the ICE "bounties" it has repeatedly said were false, offering $200 per arrest leading to a rapid deportation — and only walked the plan back after the New York Times got a copy of the memo.

In other words, a robust, respected, well-paid, well-staffed bureaucracy is the key to accomplishing large-scale public works project on time and under budget. Cutting public agencies to the bone & farming out their responsibilities to the private sector *doesn't work*.

"Virtually all sports venues in the city — indeed, across the entire country — have been financed with public dollars. But just because government subsidies for billionaires are normal does not make them correct." WaPo Editorial Board comes out against the Commanders stadium deal.

Oh I forgot to post the baseball cards of the striking workers they were handing out. Genius.

becoming the joker bye

In June, @aflcio.org released a report questioning whether Gracias's time at DOGE was causing Valor Equity Partners—the private equity firm that he supposedly continued to lead—to mismanage public union pension funds. See our @kjboyle.bsky.social's coverage in @prospect.org:

The death cult know as "The Republican Party" wants you to die, so their President took action on Friday to make it more likely you get cancer and die.
