This is insane. The terms of DOJ's slush fund appear to transfer control of $1.8 billion beyond US government entirely. Unless I'm misreading this, that would circumvent Congress *entirely* and put the money outside of *any* constitutional and/or legal constraints ofany kind. Straight up theft.

lmao incredible, bravo to the jury for finding a way to give musk nothing while also not validating anything OpenAI did 😂

Reminder: none of these people have any underlying principles they believe, except the will to power They cannot be negotiated with. They cannot be reasoned with. They cannot be appeased. They must be crushed, like vermin. thehill.com/policy/energ...

If wrestling is fake, explain this. Go ahead, blue checkmarks. I can wait. #WrestleSky 🤼

When we took office, NYC had a $12B deficit. Today it’s zero. And we didn’t close that gap on the backs of working people. We closed it while funding parks, libraries, safer streets, & public housing. Call it Pothole Politics or Democratic Socialism: We are government that delivers for the people.

Residents in Fayette County, Georgia noticed their water pressure was unusually low. Turns out that a data center 20 miles away had been drawing 30 million gallons of water in secret through connections the county didn't know existed. Is it any wonder why so many are opposed to data centers?

NEW: Despite a long-standing court order, the NYPD didn’t audit thousands of stops made by its Community Response Team, which has a history of unconstitutional policing and has drawn hundreds of civilian complaints.

It's always weird when people try to suggest that professional wrestling is a right-wing thing, a view you can only really hold if the only people with an interest in wrestling you ever talk to are in the McMahon family

Top 10 reasons why Democrats need to talk about climate change now: 🧵

Captions are getting less and less useful. Was watching a documentary about the El Molo tribe near Lake Turkana in Kenya. Per the captions, the El Molo tribe "speak in African".

A CAT ENTERED THE RING DURING BLUE PANTHER VS HECHICERO IN GUADALAJARA #CMLL 🤼

This story is WILD. Juan Orlando Hernandez, the Honduran ex-president pardoned by Trump for narcotrafficking, seemingly caught on tape in dozens of conversations (if true), discussing plans with GOP and other figures to attack left-wing governments, and saying Israel paid for his pardon from Trump.

It can't be said enough how important Ted Turner was for US wrestling. A man who loved wrestling, not sports entertainment, but wrestling! From having Georgia wrestling on WTBS, working with Jim Crockett Promotion and ultimately buying it to create WCW. Wrestling would have been worse without him.

horrible. this country’s turn away from science based medicine in the name of “wellness” is killing children and will kill a lot more. www.propublica.org/article/more...

Both *can* be true but they aren't in this case! The text of "The Body Keeps The Score" is fundamentally unscientific and reactionary. If you've taken something good from it I'm happy for you, but that's despite the message of the book, not because of it.

Still relevant.

Finished the American Gladiators season and hope we get more. Good: - Miz as the Host has the right enthusiasm. - Letting the wrestlers flex their skills in Gauntlet was awesome. - It wasn't just the wrestlers who found their characters as Gladiators.

fuck the met gala and fuck jeff bezos. that is the official stance of the handbasket.

Me: “hey, wrestlers should get paid more like the athletes they are!” Weird liberals on Bluesky: “well actually they aren’t athletes ☝️🤓” Please, tell me more about how you think people should be paid a smaller fraction of the wealth they generate with their bodies, names, and likenesses. Please.

A detail I didn’t know: “The Herald entered the Epstein series for a Pulitzer Prize that year, but it was not a finalist. Alan Dershowitz … who helped broker Epstein’s original deal, wrote a letter to the Pulitzer committee that year, urging them not to honor Brown’s work.” share.inquirer.com/THMiUZ

I admit I spent money on Friday, May 1. I went out to eat with colleagues. At a Mexican restaurant. Owned, operated & staffed by Mexican immigrants. One of whom was taken by ICE. I'm happy to report that the restaurant is so busy most days that there's a wait list. In a town of 2k.

My sources are telling me that the IDF is actively engaging and attacking civilian flotillas trying to get aid to Gaza. Yet another violation of ceasefire. Yet another act by the Israeli government that the United States and Europe will likely ignore while lecturing everyone on human rights. smh

My take on the amount of AEW women matches on Dynamite is you can't talk shit about who has to work WWE Main Event and NXT and then turn around and talk about how many women matches are on ROH or pre-shows. There is no excuse that Dynamite isn't having 2 featured competitive women's matches a week.

This👇🏽 deserves to be posted 100 times but I’d be labeled spam.

i know it isn't going to happen but give me Brody as the AEW Men's World Champion tonight. 🤼‍♂️

Terrific take on the intellectually bankrupt use of "both sides" by the lazier members of the corporate media.

Every publication should publish the names and outlets of the people who attend tonight because most of us will want to be sure we never make the mistake of listening to them again.

I'm in Seattle this weekend and have already had several conversations discussing the community care and coordination in the Twin Cities this winter, and how it went even deeper than anything you saw in news reports I knew it before but REALLY know it now: the only way through is together

“You have to create a world where people wouldn’t want to do that” I just read that 80% of crime is survival crime Meaning if people had enough money to survive they wouldn’t have committed the crime That’s a staggering percent Imagine reducing 80% of crime That’s why I support UBI

Twice now I have had convos with AEW wrestlers about making their content more accessible, and both times they have shown genuine love and interest. Honestly speaks well of the roster that the people on it care this much.

The "AEW fans are chanting fuck ICE" thing that went viral a couple months ago is still going btw

See ya around, Max. #AEWDynamite

Maybe this is backwards, but I don't find myself rooting for the contenders on American Gladiators; I root for the Gladiators. Always hope for shutouts in games like Powerball.

Any time I hear about Trump math: youtube.com/shorts/t5rzJ...

Still watching the old-school #AmericanGladiators and my favorite Gladiators are Ice, Lace, and Laser. The way they introduce Laser really induces the echolalia.

Watching the original 90s run of American Gladiators. Mike Adamle was perfect as the show host. He had the right level of enthusiasm and the occasional awkwardness was charming. I also like how bright the arena is and the grid aesthetics are fun.

The original allegations about Brock Lesnar in the complaint were one thing. But the stuff in the new Janel Grant affidavit? Where — I won't get graphic, you can read it if you want to — he expressed a specific intent to violently injure her? Fuck that guy.

If this actually happens, it may rank as the single most corrupt act in the history of American politics. I cannot believe this is even under discussion.

Dear Media: Blindly quoting the President without fact-checking or context is just misinformation with a press pass. We don’t need stenographers; we need journalists. Do your job.

July 21 1935: The Führer orders a new reception hall and ballroom to "entertain foreign diplomats" at the Chancellery. Underneath the dance floor is an air raid shelter. A 2nd deeper bunker is built next to this in 1944, where he would spend his last days as the Reich collapsed.

The US Border Patrol chief being a god damn monger seems like a thing that congressional Democrats should be absolutely hammering the Trump administration for in public. It's righteous AND politically savvy to make a stink about this.

I'm probably in the minority here, but I can't stand Darby Allin. I don't enjoy his character or his wrestling style. I really hope he doesn't win or if he does, that he has a short reign. #AEW #AEWDynamite

Claudio is probs the most underrated AEW signing

I am told I am an autonomous human being, in charge of my own destiny, a free man, but every single time Hasan Piker has said something and I have heard about it, it has been against my will

Dear god. Very, very serious allegations of mass civil rights violations at the State of Florida's Everglades immigration detention center (officially known as "Alligator Alcatraz").

We're headed to court to challenge President Trump's new executive order that illegally attempts to heavily restrict access to mail-in voting. Add your name to the petition to support our work to protect voting rights.
