@WorldsStrongest It's 2025, how do you not have a livestream of your event streaming somewhere? What joke of a sport broadcasts the competition after the results are already in??? As someone trying to get into the sport, choices like this don't make it easy!

Notre Dame put up a hell of a fight, thought they might even claw it back. Fans might have been upset about the Michigan game, myself included, but it’s impossible to deny Day has built the a the best program in the country. Go Bucks!

[McConnell @TylerMcConnell]

Why is Ohio state running the ball on third down. You have the best receivers in the nation. Please stop forgetting this.

Get Ryan Day out of Columbus. Man can’t win the one single game that OSU fans care about more than any other.

The U.S. CANNOT pull out of NATO.

I’m all for Elon Musk’s commitment to free speech, but suggesting how other countries should govern themselves—and even hinting at weakening our alliances if they don’t comply—is downright misguided. Our allies elect their own leaders to represent their interests, and America has no place dictating their laws or policies. That’s a call for their citizens alone, not for us, and certainly not for JD Vance or Donald Trump.

If Trump were to withdraw from NATO, let’s be honest: the biggest winner here would be Russia. Any other rationale is just a smokescreen for giving Putin precisely what he wants.

Anyone else hoping someone will be able to convince Jon Stewart to run in 4 years?Assuming Tim Walz doesn’t want to run himself.

I did a cartoon about the US election.

[Arnold Schwarzenegger @Schwarzenegger]

I don’t really do endorsements. I’m not shy about sharing my views, but I hate politics and don’t trust most politicians.

I also understand that people want to hear from me because I am not just a celebrity, I am a former Republican Governor.

My time as Governor taught me to love policy and ignore politics. I’m proud of the work I did to help clean up our air, create jobs, balance the budget, make the biggest infrastructure investment in state history, and take power from the politicians and give it back to the people when it comes to our redistricting process and our primaries in California.

That’s policy. It requires working with the other side, not insulting them to win your next election, and I know it isn’t sexy to most people, but I love it when I can help make people’s lives better with policies, like I still do through my institute at USC, where we fight for clean air and stripping the power from the politicians who rig the system against the people.

Let me be honest with you: I don’t like either party right now. My Republicans have forgotten the beauty of the free market, driven up deficits, and rejected election results. Democrats aren’t any better at dealing with deficits, and I worry about their local policies hurting our cities with increased crime.

It is probably not a surprise that I hate politics more than ever, which, if you are a normal person who isn’t addicted to this crap, you probably understand.

I want to tune out.

But I can’t. Because rejecting the results of an election is as un-American as it gets. To someone like me who talks to people all over the world and still knows America is the shining city on a hill, calling America is a trash can for the world is so unpatriotic, it makes me furious.

And I will always be an American before I am a Republican.

That’s why, this week, I am voting for Kamala Harris and Tim Walz.

I’m sharing it with all of you because I think there are a lot of you who feel like I do. You don’t recognize our country. And you are right to be furious.

For decades, we’ve talked about the national debt. For decades, we’ve talked about comprehensive immigration reform that secures the border while fixing our broken immigration system. And Washington does nothing.

The problems just keep rolling, and we all keep getting angrier, because the only people that benefit from problems aren’t you, the people. The only people that benefit from this crap are the politicians who prefer having talking points to win elections to the public service that will make Americans’ lives better.

It is a just game to them. But it is life for my fellow Americans. We should be pissed!

But a candidate who won’t respect your vote unless it is for him, a candidate who will send his followers to storm the Capitol while he watches with a Diet Coke, a candidate who has shown no ability to work to pass any policy besides a tax cut that helped his donors and other rich people like me but helped no one else else, a candidate who thinks Americans who disagree with him are the bigger enemies than China, Russia, or North Korea - that won’t solve our problems.

It will just be four more years of bullshit with no results that makes us angrier and angrier, more divided, and more hateful.

We need to close the door on this chapter of American history, and I know that former President Trump won’t do that. He will divide, he will insult, he will find new ways to be more un-American than he already has been, and we, the people, will get nothing but more anger.

That’s enough reason for me to share my vote with all of you. I want to move forward as a country, and even though I have plenty of disagreements with their platform, I think the only way to do that is with Harris and Walz.

Vote this week. Turn the page and put this junk behind us.

And even if you disagree with me, vote, because that’s what we do as Americans. https://t.co/eHFZ723I4H

[Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez @AOC]

Can’t get over this dude telling someone else to change tampons when he’s the one shitting bricks in his Depends after realizing opening for a Trump rally and feeding red-meat racism alongside a throng of other bigots to a frothing crowd does, unironically, make you one of them.

[Ritchie Torres @RitchieTorres]

Hasan Piker, known for amplifying Antisemitism and AntiAmericanism, is an apologist not only for 10/7 but also for 9/11. Piker in his own words: “America deserved 9/11.” The 3,000 Americans incinerated or otherwise murdered in the Twin Towers; the falling men and women plummeting to their deaths from 110-story skyscrapers; according to Piker, all of them had it coming. All deserved it.

One wonders if Hasan has ever seen an Anti-American or antisemitic terrorist attack he didn’t like? He lives in a morally inverted universe where the true terrorists on 9/11 and 10/7 were not the perpetrators but the victims.

@tuckergg @TheOmniLiberal Expecting more from the guy that sat on the DrDisrespect info for years is pretty silly. All par for the course for a guy that ran cover for someone like that.

[McConnell @TylerMcConnell]

As a life long Yankees fan I know it’s blasphemy…but watching the modern day Babe Ruth in Ohtani, I can’t help but want to see him knock them over the fence.

First time my fav National and American League teams have played against each other in the World Series. So conflicted!

[David Folkenflik @davidfolkenflik]

Update: WashPost editorial page editor David Shipley had approved a Harris endorsement earlier this month, and colleagues had been drafting it. Shipley had said the matter was being reviewed by Bezos - which, as owner, is his right.

(CJR and WaPo itself are reporting this too)

[McConnell @TylerMcConnell]

If anything was going to cement my refusal to ever sub to @washingtonpost again, it was Jeff Bezos killing the Kamala endorsement.

What was once a great newspaper has fallen further and further into the gutter.

@TwitchSupport It’s sad to see how far you’ve fallen as a company. Poor leadership really did just run the company into the ground. I wonder how long till everything finally crashes and burns now. Can’t be long after a response like this.
