the Democratic shutdown strategy was not without problems -- chief among them that it's obvious Trump should just agree to their terms and claim the W -- but so long as the GOP won't take yes for an answer, the strategy an electoral winner that unifies the Dem conference www.cnn.com/2025/10/09/p...

The word distraction is used way too often but this Middle East comment is definitely a distraction/shiny object to counter the fact he’s going to walter reed again

Dems have never seen republicans this wobbly from top to bottom and they’re in attack mode. Crazy

You have to actually listen to him here. There's no plan at all. It's going to be a nightmare

I think there are still shared norms we can appeal to when we talk to the marginal MAGA voter. But there really are no shared norms left with the core of the movement.

real heads know. upper midwest superiority

awe inspiring

the guy who caught cal raleigh’s homer was wearing a shirt that said dump 61 here and he immediately took it off and had a shirt that said dump 62 here

nuking frozen veggies to eat plain started as a bachelor thing. I now cook with fresh veggies regularly. but still, a 12 oz bag of the frozen ones is really filling and keeps me from going through a sleeve of Ritz

I said cheese whiz earlier. I'm also a sucker for a salad with bagged lettuce, shredded cheddar, croutons, and a shit ton of ranch. Another favorite snake - saltines with orange juice I also nuke frozen veggies and eat them plain. I don't think that's necessarily perverted but i know its weird.

this is WILD. the non-answer of all non-answers. Bondi is scared to death of perjury so she can't lie, but the blank stare she gives at the end... lmfao all but an admission

The Bengals see the AFC as still gettable - especially in their own division, as the Ravens go down bad - and are going to try to stay afloat til Joe gets back. I don't know that they can but I can tip my hat to the idea.

Oklahoma AG is running for governor in 2026. Ambition can be bad but it can also be helpful!

oh my god they really are going to do this.

Alabama been an absolute wagon since that opener in tallahassee

Johnson is gonna have a big battle for his speakership when all is said and done

Nick Bolton and Chris Jones just standing there

Refs missing that one on Hicks is insane

mahomes threw the pick that lamar threw to taron in 2020

tomorrow's problems are tomorrow's problems for now. still... worth eyeballing

Liam Donovan posted this on Twitter a few hours ago. this is basically him aghast and in shock. He usually has a good head for how these things will play out but hes lost for words at how this is going for the GOP

every new mike Johnson clip makes it seem like he's lost two more people in private

cheese whiz.

tapper getting shitcanned after all this is done because he didnt recognize real dementia under his nose is near the top of my wishlist

i'm preaching to the choir here. but what is the end goal of this? Unlike crypto, there are definitely use cases. But if it achieves what the biggest proponents say, there will be a massive job loss recession. and if it doesn't, the bubble will pop hard because the boring use cases aren't $$$

That was embarrassing, but I’m not turned off by this teams ceiling yet.

Shaq Thompson cannot take this angle in this moment. You have to keep Diggs from turning, he cuts right in front of him to try and pick it off

it is time to let josh allen do whatever he wants

This pass rush needs to close

Bills were at a 7 point field position disadvantage that half. They continue to play behind the 8 ball in that regard. Frustrating

Bucs came into this year with potential Serious Team billing and they’re living up to the hype.

Baun’s hit is a late hit every day of the week. It’s just not usually what happens in a high leverage spot (Whether it should be a penalty is another issue but it is one as it is called today)

they had a quick way of building housing in the 50s that involved inflating a giant balloon and building a dome like lattice over it and filling it with cement and then deflating the balloon. it was fast and cheap, but - people hated living in them

I'm wheezing.

Stephen Miller is the best argument we have for “some people are genuinely just Born Bad” and this makes me uncomfortable on multiple levels

So if max can pull Russell back this f1 season starts getting an air of “hey maybe?“ to it? in addition to the McLaren battle

Adjusted margin of 32.5 for Notre dame, if you’re wondering about the points left on the field

Flipped from baseball for a second and gotta say - script helmets are cool but both teams having the same script font on their helmet is really dumb. Looking at you State/A&M

there are lot of failures we are going to highlight when we write the history books on this era. But the mainstream media’s failure to call this shit what it is and condemn it will be at the top of the list

@espnbillc.bsky.social question for you regarding resume sp+. By your description, assuming a 2.5 home field advantage, Notre Dame should have had either a -10.7 (if margin is cumulative) or -13.2 (if margin is per game). How did they end up at -21.7? is the definition provided not 100% accurate?

Geezuz Maryland lost???

very funny that UCLA has a 40 spot up on Penn st a week after Oregon grinded for 17 in regulation

thats the score this game notre dame game deserved

Testing leonard Moore like that, dumb

They’re gonna take a look at this one but not the spot in 3rd down??

Penn state what

CJ Carr is him

im done with the direct snap stuff
