What a garbage technical foul. Absolutely ridiculous. That should never be a T, but certainly should not be one in a playoff game. Officials should be ashamed.

Ref show. Tyler Ford, who sucks, blew the call and now Jaylen Brown gets thrown out.

Brown should know better, and needs to leave before this turns into a suspension, but this was set off by Ford being a crappy ref.

Swalwell: You better believe that accountability is coming. Immunity is going to be stripped. And to Kristi Noem, Tom “Cashbag” Homan, Greg Bovino—your asses are going to be in these witness chairs.

Today, Mike Johnson will keep the House adjourned for the 84th day out of the last 96.

12 days of work in over 3 months.

With full pay and benefits.

The senate has been working, so this is not about the shutdown.

It is about avoiding a vote to release the Epstein files.

President Reagan's Radio Address on Free and Fair Trade on April 25, 1987 YouTube video by Reagan Library

So they didn’t like the ad. Let’s just post Reagan’s 5 min speech against tariffs as it appears on YouTube.

Over and over. On all platforms (some of y’all are still on X).

*1981 Sherrilyn horrified by 2025 Sherrilyn saying “let’s post Reagan’s speech.”

Leavitt: "At this moment in time, of course, the ballroom is really the president's main priority."

No words needed.

"nearly half..." ???

it's an open book test.

I think today has been a massive success by the organizers and it needs no defending on the merits and any leftists who would seek to downplay it have demonstrated once again how they're completely useless by choice in this moment.

This is what democracy looks like. #NoKings

So no terrorism then?

Definitely not America First.

The 400 richest Americans are now worth a record $6.6 trillion.

The entire bottom 50% of America is worth just $4.2 trillion.

Read that back.

When 400 people control more wealth than half a country’s population, we have a very serious problem.

Pope Leo blasts economy that marginalizes poor while wealthy live in bubble of luxury Pope Leo XIV has blasted how wealthy people live in a “bubble of comfort and luxury” while the poor suffer.

Pope Leo XIV has blasted how wealthy people live in a “bubble of comfort and luxury” while the poor suffer. In his first teaching document Thursday, Leo confirms that he is in perfect lockstep with Pope Francis on matters of social injustice.

The following is REAL footage from Portland, 2025. Viewer discretion is advised.

Shapiro: I filed that amicus brief last night to make it very clear that the Pennsylvania National Guard is under my command.

The way the President has chosen to deploy the Guard in other states—and, in at least one case, deploy the Guard from one state into another—is extremely dangerous.

Johnson: "He has defunded our education system. He has defunded our transportation system. He's firing black women across this country. He's defunding our healthcare system. This president is absolutely out of control... Chicago is going to stand firm in protecting humanity."

Durbin: "What has taken place since January 20, 2025, would make even President Nixon recoil. This is your legacy, AG Bondi."

Short piece on something I have been thinking about recently. Hope to do some actual research and craft a more compelling thesis but if you are interested take a look!

Frost: We need housing not handcuffs. We have a housing crisis in this country. Every time the rent goes up $100, homelessness goes up 9%… We shouldn’t be criminalizing homeless people for the failures of government

Borderlands 4: Preview Feeling Like a Kid Again

I’ve started a Substack for video games, politics and sports! I did a preview for borderlands 4 and am working on a piece about how Metaphor:ReFantazio is an extremely important game for this political moment. Check it out!

The injunction is silent as to the use of force. And it is not necessary for the injunction to address that use-of-force question because the Fourth Amendment’s reasonableness standard continues to govern the officers’ use of force and to prohibit excessive force. To the extent that excessive force has been used, the Fourth Amendment prohibits such action, and remedies should be available in federal court. I agree with the dissent on that point. But to reiterate, this injunction against brief stops for questioning does not address the useof-force issue.

It's not the most important part of the issue but Kavanaugh saying "well they should just sue if they're the victims of excessive force from ICE" when he himself has previously voted to bar lawsuits against federal officers for violations of the 4th Amendment in immigration cases takes chutzpah.
