if you've valued the work we've been doing at @boltsmag.org (talk about a small team punching above our weight!), and if you've been worried about the state of media today & want to support us... ... i really can't stress enough how this is the perfect time to take the jump & support us!

Why is every email marked high importance? File this with typos under “things that don’t matter”

It seem like the Thanksgiving revelation is a big deal, no?

For folks (and journalists) who want to search the Oversight Committee email texts, I made a database for searching the 20k text files: splendorous-chaja-f79791.netlify.app

Apparently the answer was no.

this news cycle is going to be so gross.

Congress at 15% approval rating, eyeing single digits. With enough work they can get there.

My friends, the New York Times is trolling you. Play if you want to play, or watch it go by.

I'm going to miss the Mandani campaign - politics aside, that campaign was just so much fun to watch.

One of my favorite orgs on campus- #hookem. Surprising long line at Texas Union.

George Santos has endorsed Andrew Cuomo. (That one might actually be true)

Blue Jays coach at the airport. I just want to give him a hug.

Well, that sucked.

Seriously?!?!

We do have an extra hour to work with

The Toronto fans look unwell.

I watch concacaf soccer regularly… this is fine.

How common is this?

in Toronto today, so many Blue Jays hats and shirts.

I feel like that should count as a home run. But what do I know.

Somedays I hate it that the famous Bethanys suck. I think it's different when you have a more common name.

There were so many good goals tonight, but this was my favorite. Starting with the back heel from Yohannes. She is a special player.

fun fact - some places have "sore loser" laws that keep primary losers out of general elections.

This goal goes crazy, Rose🌹 🔥 USWNT x Volkswagen

Lily Yohannes is very good at soccer.

Mis/disinfo people - my examples for class are all very depressing... there are some silly things out there, right? Can you help me lighten it up a bit, or is it all doom and gloom?

I want Yohannes starting every game, forever.

I would love to see Yohannes and Lavelle play at the same time, but that's probably asking for too much.

Moultrie! Also, I'm loving Shaw and Yohannes.

Love a goal in the first minute #USWNT

Hearing Ronald Reagan’s voice in an ad is wild - it’s been decades for me but it was still clear.

My students are currently thrilled.

Is there any polling out on how people feel about the destruction of the East Wing? I’d love to see this by partisanship.

ROSE 🙌 Rose Lavelle opens the scoring for the USWNT! 🎥 USWNT

I know the world is on fire but Rose Lavelle scored.

There’s a moment in Careless People when Mark Zuckerberg argues that Andrew Jackson is the best President, which pretty much tells you how this is going to go (had I not lived through it).

if you need a palete cleanser, please enjoy this survey question from my students- Have you ever misrepresented your political beliefs on a date? yes, no I can't wait for the data.

It is a little funny that I'm trying to be very careful about what I say online these days because I work at a public school, but some prominent Democrats are saying a Nazi tattoo isn't a deal breaker in a race for the U.S. Senate.

I didn’t realize that “Dems shouldn’t run a guy with a nazi tattoo” was a hot political take.
