If this was one of the many miner strikes from the first half of the 20th century - @schumer.senate.gov would have funded & armed the Pinkertons and blamed the Unions for wanting a better for their members. What a disgrace of a Democratic Caucus leader.

Growing up in Olympia in the early 90’s, this feels like a cheating. Five concerts you’ve seen with women lead singers: Bikini Kill The Gossip Heavens to Betsy Bratmobile Sleater-Kinney

Daydreaming into existence every World Cup stadium belting out this anthem but subbing in the dirty orange bastard’s name… youtu.be/x-4FJcnX0i8?...

“In John McTiernan’s 1990 film adaptation of “The Hunt for Red October,” Fred Thompson…delivers a haunting warning… “This business will get out of control. It will get out of control and we’ll be lucky to live through it.” We have three years left with a mad king. It does not feel sustainable.”

The Democratic approach to building back power is: 1. Avoid contentious issues; 2. Pivot all discourse to unobjectionable appeals like costs; 3. Leave moral opposition to citizens of conscience, who have lost all trust in the party, but hope they vote Democrat anyhow. Wrong top to bottom.

You love to see it. cybernews.com/security/dev...

Grizzly Bear mauls a group of hikers, the Democratic leadership’s response would probably be “if we could only train the bear better & put cameras on him to hold him accountable.” Seriously, what the hell are we doing.

In their most Obadiah Stane voice, every other college football AD to their coach right now… “CURT CIGNETTI BUILT A NATIONAL CHAMPION TEAM IN INDIANA WITH THREE STAR RECRUITS.”

Quite simply the greatest heat check of all time

The Double Musky Inn in Girdwood, Alaska. The best steakhouse I’ve ever been to in my life. Best steak (Cajun-style pepper steak) I’ve ever had. Lost it because of COVID. I romanticize about it in the same way Ron Swanson dreams about going to Charles Mulligan’s Steakhouse in Parks & Rec.

Cheer up Chicago, the Blackhawks look decent and the Bulls might get into the play in.

Philly would be ICE’s Stalingrad…

Just saw a bunch of fireworks go off in NW industrial area. For a brief moment… I had hope that *redacted* had been called back to hell by Satan himself… alas… no joy tonight…

Gavin Newsom finishing 5th in Iowa & New Hampshire in 28’ is going to hit like the first cup of coffee on a brisk winter morning.

If the English & others were serious, they would confiscating every European Trump golf course & turning them into council estates.

Again, even more reason why Democrats have to act decisively & remorseless against MAGA post Trump. No ignoring the problem or forgiveness for the sake of political expedience. Why would any sane country trust us if we don’t act decisively against such loathsome people?

"People are being too purist about Gavin Newsom." He invited yet another rightwing extremist to have a podcast conversation and instead of pushing back against that extremism, Newsom, yet again, backed down immediately. I want a leader who isn't going to placate extremists. That's not a tough ask.

I am not a religious man but this is as close as I get - a bust visage the patron saint of project management. Give me strength, Jean Luc to survive this meeting …

JFC, I can’t believe we’ve become this as a country. Again if any lady with a pulse & a EU / non-U.S. passport needs a trophy husband… I am going for a very low, low price right now…

If Oregon can just get that Colorado offensive tackle, then they are really cooking with gas next season…

I’m still sad about losing Sam Coffey. It was a joy to watch her play regularly. #baonpdx

Immigrants of many races & nationalities built this game over the course of more than a century in this country. Not Pele. Not Beckham. Not Messi. Not the English Premiership. … and certainly not some Tanland gobshites who I wouldn’t piss on if they were on fire like @meninblazers.bsky.social.

Again, only a matter of time before we have a major betting scandal in professional soccer in the U.S. / Canada. Not “if” but “when” at this point. A toxic brew of low wages (refs & players), weak & compromised league(s) leadership, conflict of interests, & non-existent rules & regulations.

"Ban sports betting" should be obvious position for all sports fans.

Dante Moore saw he was projected to go to the Jets and said…

If I was petty and was a member of the appropriate federal/state bar association, I would gladly write an amicus brief on behalf of the fans telling the court of how f*cking dumb & self destructive the NWSL leadership is - hell I would do it pro bono.

I am both dumbfounded and not surprised at all that NWSL Commissioner/gobshite in chief Jessica Berman has a law degree.

you, needing the light of prime Stone Cold Steve Austin: we could never overthrow a government me, having received the light of prime Stone Cold: every Monday night for five years straight this nation cheered a man beating the shit out of his boss, we are ready www.youtube.com/watch?v=SL6N...

Once the NWSL flew the nest of U.S. Soccer, it had an opportunity to embrace some of the freedom the rest of the world enjoys. Recent events show the league hasn't caught up to the reality that it is in charge of its own destiny. My latest for the Guardian: www.theguardian.com/football/202...

Look, Agoos has built up a lot of equity with me the last year in how he built a playoff squad without two of our best attacking players & no preseason transfer period. That said, trying to replace Sam Coffey & get the right manager in are going to be tough ones to square… #baonpdx

Seeing Sam Coffey leave as I open this app is a real kick in the testicular fortitude. #baonpdx

Apropos about nothing. Something the Democrats need to be doing right now is collecting resumes & shortlisting potential for appointments for 2028. It cannot be understated how much of a brain drain has happened across government & the herculean it will take to rebuild the Civil Service.

Prosecutors around the country who continue to resign to protest the illegal, unethical & immoral actions of DOJ are heroes. For many, these are dream jobs. Highly coveted career positions. They are walking away from them to do the right thing when many would remain silent. bsky.app/profile/atru...

The biggest challenge we face in a post Trump world is trying to unfuck the supreme & federal courts. It’s going to take a generation of relentless work to repair the damage Mitch, Trump, & the rest of the Hitler youth have done.

Good point, Doug. Our wind turbines are vulnerable to foreign attack, and fossil fuels are 100% safe. Because in the whole history of warfare, no one has ever bombed oil facilities.

Again, if Trump gets complete control of the Federal Reserve, its game over for the US economy & the dollar as the default fiat currency of world finance. Not “if” but “when” we have another 1929, 1893, & 1872 event.

This has to be the end of him… I say for the 836,018,173,754,824th time the last ten years…

I know this is a sad statement on our society but the only way I see a majority of the big business Wall Street turning on Trump is if he screws the dollar so badly - they have no choice. I thought tariffs would have been that red line… like so many things… *deep sigh*

The Iranian government’s violent crackdown on demonstrators is horrific and must stop now. All people have the right to protest their government without fear of violence. I support the Iranians taking to the streets to call for a better future.

Good luck against Miami, Indiana. I want Curt Cignetti to rip the still beating heart out of Mario Cristobal chest during the pregame handshake.

Excuse me as I walk to Safeway and get a big slice of blueberry lemon cake…

I think it’s best for both parties after this game that Moore declares for the NFL draft. I don’t know how you can move forward next season with this game in the back of everyone’s collective minds.

See this is why I have never gotten the “Dante is a top NFL prospect thing.” Yes, great arm, fantastic accuracy, when playing weaker team w/ a clean pocket knows how to punish them. That said, good defenses really expose his poor quick decision making - which is everything at the next level.
