The Senate has just passed the military NDAA containing 2 anti-trans provisions: a surgery ban using federal funds (dependents too), and a sports ban on military academy spaces. This will be the STARTING point for negotiations with the House, which has even worse provisions. Only 20 Dems opposed.

🚨 This is protecting the American people. “Full force” is not defined by the military. More of this!

It’s extraordinary that Biden’s main weaknesses were inflation and cognitive decline and now America has inflation and cognitive decline as well as tariffs, authoritarianism, blatant corruption, etc

any product that depends on the long term stability of its maker is inherently defective

I feel bad for Orion Kerkering but this is tremendous content

baseball can turn on astounding feats of athleticism and "oh no that guy just drove up the off ramp" in equal measure

I'm so sorry to this man but this is, perhaps, the funniest possible ending to a playoffs run I think I've ever seen in my life

New meme format

We aren't on the verge of an authoritarian takeover. We are in the middle of it. But I worry people don't see the whole scheme. They just pay attention to each new daily outrage. So I went to the Senate floor to explain Trump's plan. Here's a 🧵of the speech. It's important.

[sees someone keeping score at the baseball game] Circumcised?

First half of first day of 2 week vacation spent rotting on the couch and now I absolutely do not want to put on pants to do the multiple things I have scheduled this afternoon. Tragic.

This is so damn scary. The book claimed that Jeffrey Epstein was the one who introduced Donald and Melania. Now the CEO of Harper UK is out.

anyway I would die for this show already, bye.

it's like baseball season ended for my team so that switch flipped off and the song of ice and fire switch immediately flipped back on like a rube goldberg machine for hyperfixations

I’m starting to think they might not have been serious about wanting to stop fentanyl smuggling and child sex trafficking

Here's Palantir's Louis Mosley, grandson of Britain's most famous fascist leader, talking about the importance of AI, if you aren't convinced yet that this is one big co-ordinated push towards the destruction of everything good in life. www.politicshome.com/news/article...

Surprising absolutely no one, Richard J. Evans's narrative history of the Weimar Republic's creation and desctruction -- The Coming of the Third Reich -- is highly relevant and interesting reading. The audiobook is also great, if you can do non-fiction audiobooks.

My husband offering to drive me to a 430 appointment that has nothing to do with him so I can keep watching the Mariners game on my phone in the car 😂 romancé

Can’t decide what to buy on Prime Day? Try: absolutely nothing, and then go support indie bookstores instead 📚

This is going around again and it is not true. Like every site on the internet, Bluesky uses machine learning to do a first-pass approximation of image classification to detect and label content. They have repeatedly confirmed outside services do not use Bluesky user data to train their models.

Braves, ur wearing me out

1/ This is so f'ing outrageous. You cannot safely restrain people on their stomachs. They're going to kill people. This is very well known now.

GOMS!!!!!!!!

JULIOOOOOOOOO OMG

I don't even like baseball, actually

there's a picture of her with the front of her shirt just soaked in blood. imagine trying to crack an 84 year old woman's skull and body slamming an 84 year old vet leaning on a walker. is this the warrior ethos we've heard so much about?

Heck. GOMS (tomorrow)

"Has had such a good life in this country," yes, ever since she was granted the privilege of coming here from her birth nation, Brooklyn.

Every name on the Tigers sounds like it was made up by a teenager trying to come up with something for a fake ID. Brant Hurter? Dillon Dingler? Colt Keith? Fake. Fake. Fake.

Rafael Montero can have ONE right

once

JULIOOOOOOOOO

Glad to see George Kirby seems to be in top form 😍

You. Are. Allowed. To. Insult. The. Police. It’s a core First Amendment principle. This is utterly lawless behavior, for which there will be no (short-term) consequences. That he does it so casually, as they are walking away, in front of cameras. Rightly confident in his impunity.

I will not call up our National Guard to further Trump’s acts of aggression against our people.

This morning, the Trump Administration’s Department of War gave me an ultimatum: call up your troops, or we will. It is absolutely outrageous and un-American to demand a Governor send military troops within our own borders and against our will.

"just upload a scanned image of your drivers license no big deal"

This is simple. Congress should not willingly pay the bills to fund the most serious assault on political freedom in our lifetime - an assault that may collapse democracy as we know it if we don't fight back.

If you're in Chicago, the National Museum of Puerto Rican Arts and Culture has a new exhibit on baseball! Called Pleibol!, it's a traveling exhibit from the Smithsonian. Free to visit! nmprac.org/exhibitions/...

My husband was detained by ICE today Juan Muñoz, an American citizen, father of 2, and local government official, was peacefully protesting w. other elected officials. He was assaulted and taken away I have had zero contact or updates since #SOS @duckworth.senate.gov @durbin.senate.gov

Tim Walz: "My god, we've got the White House threatening investigations and jail time because an escalator stopped? Walk up the damn stairs!"

BREAKING: Our client Mario Guevara, an Emmy-winning journalist detained by ICE in retaliation for livestreaming law enforcement activity, will be deported tomorrow to El Salvador. Mario and his family are being punished for his reporting. This cruelty is meant to stifle our free press.

I like how it took until halfway through game 3 for me to fully realize I was actually rooting for the Padres over the cubs the whole time

This still equates to 53% of the population not blaming Republicans. Dem messaging of the truth RE: the shutdown is not as effective as it needs to be. That 23% needs facts and evidence presented and messaging reaching them. Sure the largest group responded w/Republicans but its not a majority

I said sometime last season that I believe the Reds are going places. This year, they made the playoffs. I still think they've got some very solid pieces and hope to see ownership invest in the team in the off season (lol). Still my favorite opening day in baseball. See y'all in the spring 🫶

Here are all the states Russ Vought announced just today he would be illegally stealing taxpayer dollars from. Have we ever had a President work so hard to hurt the people he represents? I'm not going to be intimidated by these crooks.

REDS JUST NEED A BLOOP AND A BLAST

Sigh. I hate LA.

Ohhhhhh my god reds pls capitalize 🙏
