EXCLUSIVE: Thousands of leaked messages show leaders of Young Republican groups joking about gas chambers, slavery and rape in a private Telegram chat. Inside rising GOP leaders’ racist chats — obtained by POLITICO and spanning more than 7 months👇

3x3 OT sucks.

They hold their own voters in contempt and their voters thank them for it every cycle.

Stamkos was just penalized 2 minutes for being tripped. That was . . . a choice.

Trump minimizes domestic abuse during a talk at the Museum of the Bible: "Things that take place in the home, they call crime ... If a man has a little fight with the wife, they say this was a crime, see?"

Seriously, $&#% these people. It has been apparent where this has been going for years and they sold their souls for tax cuts and judges. They have killed our country and form of government and they don’t get to play the victim now.

This guy hosts a debate show

Oh, this should be good.

Sigh, bye @paramountpictures.bsky.social and @cbsnews.com. I really liked @plutotvca.bsky.social, but y’all are too evil. gizmodo.com/fcc-to-appoi...

last four Republican presidents: - senile actor who did arms for hostages and destroyed the social safety net - his VP, ex-CIA director who started a war - that guy’s son, born again wastrel who started another war - pedophile reality tv star who destroyed the constitution

The name was too woke.

The Trump regime has decided to destroy $9.7m worth of contraceptives rather than send them abroad — it will cost US taxpayers $167,000. The contraceptives are primarily long-acting, such as IUDs and birth control implants, and were intended for women in Africa, www.theguardian.com/us-news/2025...

OK, seriously, I need to understand who thought this was going to be a good idea. Who thought this was going to work well? Who thought these interactions would be anything but awkward and cliché? Who thought they would not have any technical difficulties that would make a team look stupid? #NHL

And the inevitable technical difficulties. This affirmatively fucking hurts to watch. #NHL

lol, the Predator fans in Bridgestone Arena were told that the draft was going to cut live to us for the pic. Everyone got all excited and went down to the floor to scream and they never cut to the stadium. Such delightful incompetence.

Good God, drafts are always boring but this is affirmatively painful. Slow and painful. Bang up job once again, Gary. #NHL

“Thank you for believing in me.” DRINK!!!

Every time I think Gary Bettman can’t screw up the NHL more, I’m proven wrong. This virtual draft is the biggest piece of crap I’ve seen in quite some time. Well, in sports. Well, in sports drafts.

It’s a good thing Congress isn’t alive to see this

More Americans voted for Senator Alex Padilla than for 48 of the 53 red state GOP U.S. Senators combined.

Things that mean nothing for $500, Alex?

The Bureau of Labor Statistics is cutting back its collection of data on consumer prices, raising questions about the reliability of federal economic statistics under President Trump. #EconSky www.nytimes.com/2025/06/04/b...

Hurricane season starts today. Instead of the normal preparation story we share every year, please take a few minutes and read this essay from @michaelrlowry.bsky.social about the very different risks this year. And thanks to @kellyhereid.bsky.social for the gift link. Really. Please read it.

Can you imagine them struggling with this if Biden or Obama had put them in this position?

We have a new contender for sentence of the year.

The NHL Playoffs are the most underrated sporting event in the world despite the NHL being the worst governed professional sports organization in existence.

Openly negotiating the price of the bribe being paid to the President to grant approval to a regulatory merger. Happening right in front of us.

The cruelty is the point.

I had Florida winning this series. I did not have them beating Carolina like a government mule.

Show us your writing process in a gif. Can’t do it in a gif, but how about a clip? youtu.be/iajgp1_MHGY?...

Well that was . . . something.

I’d taunt Habs fans about this win but quite honestly they’ll just have to settle for free healthcare and a fair, democratic government

Nice to get one we didn’t deserve. #Caps

Not that anyone has been good, but Leonard has looked particularly lost and useless and is a giveaway machine out there. #Caps

This series may be over. #Caps

It’s amazing. People still have no idea what is happening.

Buy early, buy often. For a good cause. #Autism #AutismAwareness #AutismAcceptance afterbash.givesmart.com

Caps fans don’t want to hear this but Ryan Leonard has maturity and judgment issues and vanishes in big games more than one might like.

In lighter news, I would very much like the Caps to fire many, many goals past James Reimer's homophobic ass (and glove and blocker and everything else) this afternoon, please and thanks.

The Caps have a definite Toronto problem and someone needs to call it what it is at this point.

With his permission, I'm sharing Dean Treanor's response to Ed Martin's letter:

I will never be angrier at myself for not putting everything I have in crypto on January 20 and then selling it as soon as Trump did the inevitable. I should never have listened to all the rational people telling me I was paranoid.

SCOOP: Naval Academy leaders sent an email to faculty this week that teaching about “divisive concepts” such as systemic racism + sexism is no longer permitted. Faculty also can’t talk about environmental justice or gender ideology. Our exclusive: www.thebaltimorebanner.com/education/hi...

!! Acting deputy attorney general Emil Bove just filed a notice of appearance in the Adams case. You don't see the department's number-two doing that, umm, ever.

Tremendous new addition to the Louvre

Unpopular take: I have no problem with that offensive pass interference call.
