Congratulations to the Philadelphia Eagles, my former teammates, and friends on being SB LIX Champions!! There were a lot of emotions last night, and now that I’ve collected my thoughts, I’ll attempt to share them in the longest tweet ever.
That game was odd for me to watch if I’m being completely honest. I knew it was going to be mixed emotions before, during, and after, and I now know what my parents had to deal with two years ago. On one hand, I wanted what is best for my brother, and to see his success. And on the other hand, there are so many people, teammates, and coaches, in the Philadelphia Eagles organization that I care deeply about, Many of whom I owe my own success to throughout my career.
I am very proud for Jalen Hurts, Nick Sirianni, and this entire team. They have persevered greatly, answered their critics amazingly, and proved themselves to be undoubtedly the best team this season. It is extremely difficult for a team in the NFL to have enough talent, coaching, fortune, and character to win a Super Bowl. The character and swagger of this Eagles team was something truly special to behold. A true representation of the toughness and grit that makes Philadelphia what it is. Well done fellas, well fucking done.
As for my brother, There isn’t a person I love or care about more. It has been tough to process these feelings, of course I feel for him and am always rooting for him, but I know he does not need, nor want my pity. He has amassed greatness few on this planet could ever dream of, as has his team, and they should feel pride in their accomplishments this season and in the past. I know right now they are still thinking of last night and the shortcomings in the last game, But in time that will fade, and the greatness they have exhibited as a group will remain as one of the most dominant eras of football ever.
Man I love this sport, the people that play it, and the fans that enjoy it. Nothing else like it. Congratulations Philadelphia, I look forward to the speeches and celebrations that will happen in the coming days. I mean who doesn’t love a parade! In the words of Chase Utley “World Fucking Champs”, and to all the haters out there, remember what my man Jay Ajayi said “Fuck Em”

If the President doesn’t want the job he has, that’s fine (and frankly better for us), but he just doesn’t get to outsource it to a random billionaire from South Africa.
Today in Oversight:
Republicans are advancing a bill that would fire all government workers - including Veterans - from offices related to diversity, equity, and inclusion, banning them from being reassigned.
How does firing qualified workers and Veterans improve efficiency?
Just a heads up for those of you telling me to “cry harder” right now…
When your special needs child can’t get the services they need because the school cut the program, and your other child who is lucky enough to be able to travel the 25 miles to the closest school gets measles, and your wife ends up with cervical cancer because she couldn’t get regular screenings, and your elderly mom passes away because she couldn’t afford her insulin, and the hazardous chemical factory job where you work 60 hours a week but only get paid for 40, doesn’t provide healthcare, and you can’t take a day off to deal with that lingering cough of yours, and the medical bills wipe out your life savings, and the bank takes your home and you end up on the street, I won’t tell you to “cry harder.”
Because I’ll be too busy reminding you that eggs never got any cheaper.
If you’re more upset about a transgender woman using your bathroom than you are about a rapist felon running your country, congratulations, you are an idiot, an asshole, and you’re in a fucking cult.
All Mike Johnson did by trying to cover up the Ethics probe on Gaetz—was make it clear how damning it is. They absolutely must release the report immediately. All of it. Publicly.
Tim and I could not be more grateful for the support you all have shown us over the past few months.
Let's take everything we are feeling — our fear, our fatigue, our frustration — and use it as our fuel. Now more than ever, we cannot and will not give up this fight.
