@eprrid lol. Ain’t nobody driving that Subaru dangerous. This is fake AI bullshit.

[Roland Thon @RolandThon]

Hilarious. Some jackoffs paid 100k plus to see the @nyknicks lose tonight. @spurs

[Roland Thon @RolandThon]

All Americans are @nyknicks fans tonight. How can anyone watch this and not root for Larry David, Jay-Z, and a bunch of other New York assholes paying tens of thousands of dollars for basketball tickets to finally catch a break in life? @spurs @NBA

@theblockspot What does any of that have to do with the fans in the area?

This New York Times piece is worth your time. Here’s what is happening, as simply as I can put it.

Back in January, Trump sued the IRS, an agency he controls, demanding $10 billion over the leak of his tax returns a number of years ago.

IRS lawyers did their jobs. They wrote a memo laying out the defenses that could beat the suit, including the fact that Trump filed too late. His own lawyer was in court when the leaker pleaded guilty in October 2023, more than two years before Trump sued.

The Justice Department never showed up to court. Never argued back. Never used the defenses sitting on their desk.

The judge got suspicious and ordered both sides to explain whether they were actually opposing each other or just colluding. The day before that brief was due, Trump dropped the suit.

Same day, his Justice Department announced a $1.776 billion taxpayer-funded “anti-weaponization fund.” 

Trump gets a formal apology. The IRS agrees to drop any audits of him and his family, even though a 2024 Times report found a loss in an ongoing audit could cost him over $100 million.

The acting Attorney General, Trump’s former criminal defense attorney, picks the five commissioners who decide who gets paid. Trump can fire any of them. Proud Boys and Oath Keepers are not ruled out.

This is the most corrupt thing I’ve ever seen from an American president.

Where in the hell are my Republican colleagues?

Springsteen on Colbert:

"I’m here in support tonight for Stephen, because you are the first guy in America who lost his show because we got a president who can't take a joke….and because Larry and David Ellison feel they need to kiss his ass to get what they want. Stephen, these are small-minded people. They got no idea what the freedoms of this beautiful country are supposed to be about" 🔥

COMMENTARY: Let’s say it plainly: There has never been a president as corrupt as Donald Trump.

There is no close second in our history.

Jon Stewart on Trump’s corrupt slush find: “This is fuckin’ our money! Do we even have a Congress? It’s all Orwell, it’s all a fuck you troll. His entire career is a troll. They’re gonna give it to people that sprayed mace at police officers and pretend they’re rewarding patriotism”

@paulg @MollyJongFast We are so cooked.

This is who's running the government.

I wrote about this in my newsletter. The Weather Service didn't launch balloons recently and got surprised by tornadoes in Kansas. DOGE cuts at NWS cut out weather balloon launches which gather data for storm prediction. You are less safe because of that choice.

[brian @brianovak]

national forests are for us all. politicians elected to serve the people have become corrupt beyond redemption. these morally bankrupt ghouls will destroy what makes this country beautiful because it will enrich them personally. a better world is possible, but only if we make it

[Roland Thon @RolandThon]

Accurate.

[Roland Thon @RolandThon]

@RadioFreeTom What about their first amendment rights to criticize his leadership?

[Zach Brandon @MVP_Mindset]

Great story from Coach K on running into a former camper and the lesson this man carried with him.

Coach K asked all the kids at the camp...

"Who do you talk to the most?"

“Yourself… so when you talk to yourself, why not be yourself's best friend?”

A lot of performers are entertaining an internal voice that’s critical, impatient, and unforgiving.

We say things to ourselves we’d never say to a teammate and then we expect confidence, consistency, and composure to follow.

You're in a lifelong conversation with yourself. Make it one worth having.

@ruthbenghiat He is such broken and deeply flawed person. So sad he has any responsibility whatsoever.

[Roland Thon @RolandThon]

@JimMusilPainter Like regular olive trees, but revanchist.

@AP Why? Bro came over on a wooden ship thinking he found India. Then, a bunch of natives died as a result of his incompetence.

[Roland Thon @RolandThon]

@DoctorateJay @RockChalkBlog What a horrendously poor decision. Whether he should continue leading this program is a real question.

[Roland Thon @RolandThon]

@RockChalkBlog Why wouldn’t you want to substitute the guy who consistently makes hustle plays for the guy who consistent glitches in the most important spot of the season?
