"Luka's done for the season. Austin's getting an MRI. No one knows if Marcus Smart will ever play again"

I never had any illusions that the Lakers would get past OKC or the Spurs (although I think they could have tested the Spurs quite a bit), but this just sucks. The vibes surrounding this team had been *immaculate* and this stretch in March was the most fun I’ve had in a *while* as a Lakers fan. 😔

Trump’s new budget adds an extra $500 billion to fund wars abroad — about $3,700 more for every household in America — while cutting health, jobs, housing, and education. Put simply, it takes more of your money for foreign wars, while making life in America even more unaffordable.

The Republicans in Congress could have stopped all of this. And could have stopped Trump’s most controversial and unqualified Cabinet Secretaries from getting their jobs. But they were too afraid to. If you don’t like what Trump is doing, you HAVE to vote out his Republican enablers.

I’ve never written anything using AI, I never will, and I have zero respect for any professional who does.

Starting to get #Cowboys NFL draft fever (I can neither confirm nor deny that this is related to the Luka hamstring injury), so I'm playing around with draft simulators. Unless the top defensive talent falls to me at 12, I'm trading down every time. Check out this haul:

I was thinking about turning on Lakers v Thunder, but I then happened to inadvertently see the halftime score:

"They have no shame, do they? They don't even bother to lie badly anymore. I suppose that's the final humiliation."

Literal laugh out loud moment. Chef’s kiss

Have YOU been fired because you‘re a woman and won’t do all the illegal things your boss wanted you to do? Have YOU been fired because you would degrade yourself but not ENOUGH? Have you been discriminated against because you’re not crazy? You may have rights. CALL POPEHAT NOW

The takeaway from the president‘s speech is that they should release the unredacted Epstein files.

Just so you understand, this is as if you prepared for argument in front of a panel that included Cookie Monster, and Cookie Monster asked you a question about cookies, and you had not thought about cookies in advance.

I am glad that trump is going down in flames on the birthright citizenship question but it is a disgrace that the supreme court ever agreed to hear this case and a disgrace that it won’t be 9-0 and no matter what majority opinion roberts writes this is more proof we must expand the court

Just so everyone knows, the Solicitor General straight up lied about the 1921 law review article he kept talking about. quick thread:

He's just *so* good at this.

From the WaPo's live coverage of the Supreme Court's hearing on birthright citizenship. "The presidential motorcade returned to the White House, passing tourists who offered a range of gestures".

OH HELL YES. NEIL GORSUCH, THE LAST JUSTICE OF THE MOCHICANS, ASKS "Do you think Native Americans are citizens of the united states." IF YOU TRIP GORSUCH'S NATIVE AMERICAN WIRES, YOU LOSE. GOOD DAY, SIR!

PRESIDENT: "We should have a national database of all legal US gun owners." CONSERVATIVES: "YOU CAN'T DO THAT! THAT IS UNAMERICAN!! YOU CAN'T TRACK AMERICAN CITIZENS!!! IT'S AGAINST OUR LIBERTY!!!!" PRESIDENT: "We will have a national database of all legal US voters." CONSERVATIVES: [yawn]

I mean, if *anyone* knows about forcing themselves on others without their consent, it’s this guy.

So does this mean: Pulisic - Tillman - McKennie Jedi - Morris - Berhalter - Weah Trusty - Richards - Freeman Freese That… is quite a choice, I guess. 🤷🏻‍♂️🤦🏻‍♂️

"trans ideology is a sickness." [reads the news] "people's personal affairs are none of our business and we should talk about immigration"

Polymarket.

Gallup's Quarterly Partisan Affiliation Poll Since 2020 Q2

So the goal is to travel back in time and prevent Trump from tearing up the JCPOA that Obama worked out that already delivered all these things? Super. Good luck with that, Petey.

NEW Economist/YouGov The three-week rolling average of Trump's net job approval has fallen to a second-term low of -20 d3nkl3psvxxpe9.cloudfront.net/documents/ec...

The Statue of Liberty being arrested may be the most iconic photo ever taken at these protests. It's so perfect, it seems staged. Absolutely iconic.

if a leftist says he's anti-zionist because of the war crimes of a sovereign nation the times will suggest he is an anti-semite. if a conservative says that he is "j-pilled" the times will say it's about foreign policy.

Stop scrolling & post two characters who bring you happiness.

UConn leads: 2-0; 73-72 (Final)

If the estimates were right, there were about 9 million people at No Kings rallies today. That would mean this protest was THIRTY TIMES AS LARGE AS THE TEA PARTY PROTEST which we were told, over and over again, was a massively important sign that US politics had shifted dramatically to the right

🚨 THIS JUST IN: With over 100 protests still to come, we can already estimate that at least 8 million people participated in No Kings protests today. That makes No Kings 3 the largest single day of protest in American history. #NoKings

Just so we're clear here, Trump installed his own defense lawyer as the Deputy Attorney General and had him lead the purge of the federal prosecutors who brought cases against Trump.

Prompted by a blog post I just read: What is the most overtly Christian-yet-not-Christian movie that you've seen in the last few years, and why is it Project Hail Mary?

We clearly need to do a league-wide assist audit, because most of these should clearly not be counted as assists.

"Bigotry among young conservatives has Republicans on edge"

If you can't say to your child "the man in black fled across the desert" and get a "and the gunslinger followed " in response You 🫵🏿 have forgotten the face of your father.

Stop worrying about what YA books to let your kids read and let them sort it out with V C Andrews and cocaine era Stephen King as God intended

I'm all for public embarrassment and shaming of ICE officers... but we really should leave obvious children out of that.

Sisyphus but every day he unsubscribes from marketing and promotion emails.

I don't even know what to say about how bad this is. People have been denied due process by not being able to attend court hearings for fear of being kidnapped; other people HAVE been kidnapped for showing up to do the exact thing we say we want.

Yesterday, Trump said mail in voting was cheating & should be banned. Also yesterday, Trump voted by mail in a FL special election. He was down in FL at the time, 15 minutes from his polling place. History will note Trump as one of the greatest frauds, one of the greatest con men, who ever lived.

Post a non-religious picture you think of as holy

Per this criteria, a childless retired couple would not be able to vote.

My only ever takeaway from any "check out what this idiot said on Twitter" post on here is just "ah, so you're still over there."
