Whoops! The Trump Executive Order might accidentally nuke the NCAA's remaining legal protections and open them up for EVEN MORE lawsuits.

"Direction of the country: ... Just 8% say things are going well"
I groaned audibly.
Nothing could be more impotent than that socialism joke as a response to the firehose of things @wajali.bsky.social said.
I’m fully in favor of putting Doug Wilson everywhere. More Doug Wilson as the face of this stuff. He’s as juiceless as JD Vance.
It's Time to Drag Pete Hegseth's Bigoted Pastor and Expose Trump's Failed Iran War
Pete Hegseth believes he's on a mission from God and supports an American Crusade. His pastor, Doug Wilson, demands Christian domination. Well, I would like to retort.

I watched it again. I can’t express enough how much of a weak dork Douglas Wilson is.
FUCK IT, WE'LL DO IT DEAD
I hate to encourage people to watch Piers Morgan but I thought @wajali.bsky.social did a wonderful job on the panel here and I just can’t get over how much influence Doug Wilson has when he gets clobbered and shown to be a fool any time he has to actually debate someone. youtu.be/5FNUgU738w8?...
Trump’s probably mostly angry about this because women aren’t allowed to do this, only guys can
A clip from The New York Times reads: "But only the entities that officially paid the tariffs are eligible to recover that money. That means that the fuller universe of people affected by Mr. Trump’s policies — including millions of Americans who paid higher prices for the products they bought — are not able to apply for direct relief. The extent to which consumers realize any gain hinges on whether businesses share the proceeds, something that few have publicly committed to do. Some have started to band together in class-action lawsuits in the hopes of receiving a payout."
The average American family paid $1,700 in tariffs last year, according to the bipartisan Congressional Joint Economic Committee. Few will ever see any of that money back. The refunds will go to companies, if doled out at all. What a joke.
This week I noticed some negative ads against Cameron from one of these groups for the first time.
Pennsylvania's auditor general, a Republican, audited 210,000+ new voter registrations under Gov. Shapiro's new motor voter system to see if noncitizens were registering to vote.
They found one. One.
And that was because a PennDOT staffer erred. It was fixed before the driver left the office.
I'll simply say again that for Shlaes to resurface in The Economist at this moment is an indicator of an ambient concern that Rooseveltian policies and politics are increasingly likely. The thing about the New Deal is, it was *immensely popular.* That's terrifying to certain people
Absolutely incredible.
NASA Astronaut Reid Wiseman, who commanded Artemis II, took this footage from the far side of the Moon with his iPhone.
Watch with sound on.
Reminder that you can order pretty much any book you'd ever want via your local bookstore's online website — might be a buck or two more than Amazon, but well worth it to support local small business owners!
the correct answer to someone with vaccine hesitancy is “what’s wrong with you why are you such a baby?” it’s anxiety that’s not grounded in reality
They don’t respect any of us enough to even make it semi-believable.

Eastman was not disbarred for making bad constitutional arguments, nor because he represented Trump, nor because he challenged the results of an election, all of which are allowed. Eastman was disbarred because he knowingly lied to the courts with deliberately false factual representations.

Damon Jones also intends to plead guilty to charges brought from an alleged rigged poker game ring, The Athletic has learned. Jones was one of 3 men charged in both cases. Feds say he helped lure victims to the poker games. He is facing 2 federal counts. www.nytimes.com/athletic/720...

What are we thinking here? Last place in fantasy football?
“filth” is an absolute face-spitter of a word
“Douglas MacArthur is not walking through that door. Norman Schwarzkopf is not walking through that door. And if they did, the the be old and gray. The negativity in this town sucks.”
It’s not a good thing that the defense secretary has the same view of the media as your average college football coach.
Even the architectural critic who encouraged Trump last year to build a triumphal arch in Washington thinks he's going too far. "It's way too big for that site." @lukebroadwater.bsky.social @zacharyhsmall.bsky.social www.nytimes.com/2026/04/15/u...
