Today, President Barack Obama and I read to a group of toddlers at Learning Through Play Pre-K Center in the South Bronx. 

In between singing wheels on the bus, we discussed our administration’s vision for this City — one where New York’s Cutest have the strongest start possible.

If you ask me, Sen. Jon Ossoff is sounding more and more like a potential 2028 presidential candidate.

McCourtys talk Patriots' NFL draft must-haves, needs, wants The former Patriots analyze what positions the team needs to target when the NFL draft starts Thursday.

Quick-hit thoughts/notes around the Patriots and NFL (assessing 'must-haves', 'needs' and 'wants' for NE w/ McCourty brothers; offseason program begins Monday; Mike Vrabel and addressing the team; gauging trade maneuverability in draft; Gronk honored etc.) www.espn.com/nfl/story/_/...

Congrats on 4 years. I did 3 months sober recently. Just to end some terrible habits. Best thing I’ve done. I miss the consistency of sobriety whenever I drink now. I hope to go back to sober living someday.

Hot fucking mama🥵🥵🥵

I love paying for ESPN+ so I can scratch my NHL itch... until the playoffs roll around and I literally cannot watch a single fucking game.

2026 NFL draft: How all 32 teams can ace their picks, needs A week before the NFL draft, Ben Solak hits the top priorities for every single team -- and the prospects who can meet those needs.

The USA is going to have to seize all of the Trumpstain Regime's stolen wealth to pay for rebuilding the country, once they are taken out of power.

🚨 🚨 🚨

The Texans and All-Pro edge Will Anderson Jr. have agreed on a blockbuster, 3-year, $150M extension with $134M guaranteed to make him the NFL’s highest paid non-QB ever.

The deal, which includes a rare no-trade clause, was done by
Nicole Lynn of Klutch Sports.

I am the master of overbooking plans in advance and panicking all the way to Regretville. @aspersia.bsky.social can confirm. 😉

It’s good for the soul. We forget how important doing nothing can be for us.

The best fits for the Patriots in the 2026 NFL Draft: Using ‘The Beast’ to find targets We use "The Beast" from Dane Brugler to find five players who fit everything the Patriots are looking for in next week's NFL Draft.

Here are five of the best fits for the Patriots in the NFL Draft: www.nytimes.com/athletic/719...

WR De’Zhaun Stribling took a top-30 visit to the Patriots today, per sources. Stribling (6-2, 207) was at Washington State and Oklahoma State before finishing his career at Ole Miss in 2025, totaling 55 career starts. Timed at 4.36 in the 40. High-end production in biggest games.

I am starting to think that our politicians might be corrupt.

@aspersia.bsky.social

May Victor Orbán simply be the first in a string of countries engaging in overdue housecleaning by kicking their authoritarian leaders to the curb.

Victor Orbán’s removal sends a timely signal.

Corrupt kleptocratic Christian nationalism was on the ballot in Hungary today — just as it will be on the ballots that Americans will cast in November.

It was repudiated abroad — may it be repudiated here in November (and beyond).

Over 8 billion reasons to ditch fossil fuels in one photo.

Kaine: "You don't sucker punch somebody in a bar and then blame your buddies when they don't join the fight with you. If the president wanted the support of allies, he should've respected them instead of putting tariffs on their economies and trash talking them."

Former Belichick aide brings insight to Patriots' No. 31 pick Ernie Adams and the Belichick-led Patriots picked at bottom of Round 1 many times. Adams shares the strategy.

It’s Rex Manning Day!!!! Artworks by @aspersia.bsky.social 🙌🚨 #filmsky #Rexmanningday

We need a concentrated protest in DC. Millions.

There is no available mechanism for removing the Mad King because our political system is failing.

Our system is wildly outdated. Few countries have:

- two-party system
- presidency elected separately from the legislature
- strong, extremely unrepresentative upper chamber
- politicized high court

Clipped version of poster for Netflix show, it shows the title in red “something very bad is going to happen” surimposed on a woman’s face in black and white

The existential dread in the air today is functioning as incredible viral marketing for that new Netflix series:

The President of the United States is threatening to commit war crimes and wipe out a "whole civilization" — all because he started a disastrous war of his own making and had no plan and no strategy for how to end it.

This is abhorrent, and the American people do not support this.
