I appreciate the nuance in your opinion, but there is a difference between popularity, appeal and being the face of the league.

Caitlin Clark is the most popular player in the WNBA, and the biggest draw. She’s not the face because she’s not creating a new standard for winning (yet). She does not have accomplishments that people want to take (yet).

What team is everyone trying to beat? The Aces. What player is everyone trying to match? A’ja Wilson.

The standard for winning is A’ja. Michael Jordan became the face of the NBA because he became the standard by which every player is measured. Everyone wanted to stop him. Caitlin isn’t there.

Citizens United will be seen by future generations as what killed the United States

When Kansas did a version of the SAVE Act, it purged around 40 ineligible voters - and stopped 31,000 legal citizens from registering to vote (12% of all applicants). That's 775 legal voters lost for every 1 ineligible voter.

Phee and Stewie are geniuses. The 1v1 tournament had everything and now multiple fanbases are fighting on Twitter. This is how you create real rivalries😭

Mike Lee’s “shaking” sarcasm about House photo IDs misses a key detail.

Members of Congress don’t pay for those cards. They don’t wait in line at the DMV. They don’t dig up birth certificates from the 1940s or explain why their married name doesn’t match a decades-old form.

They’re handed an ID when they’re sworn in.

Millions of voters? They face fees, document gaps, travel time, and bureaucracy just to prove what Congress already knows about its own members.

So no, this isn’t a gotcha. It’s a reminder that privilege isn’t a valid blueprint for public policy.

Lee, you hack, start/stop systems were invented by Toyota in 1974 and adopted by European automakers in the 2000s. They reduce fuel consumption by 5-8% and cut idle emissions by 100%. They restart in under 400 milliseconds… faster than your foot moves from brake to gas. Your car doesn't 'die.' The engine decouples from the drivetrain via a reinforced starter motor rated for 500,000+ cycles. This isn't Obama. It's thermodynamics. An engine burning fuel at zero mph does zero useful work. That's not politics. That's the first law. You're the EPA administrator and you don't understand combustion efficiency. Terrifying.

NEW: Sparks fly as AG Pam Bondi says Rep. Thomas Massie has 'Trump Derangement Syndrome' as he tears into her for redacted names in the Epstein files.

Massie ripped off a piece of paper to show that Les Wexner was listed as a co-conspirator for child s*x trafficking.

Bondi: Within 40 minutes, Wexner's name was added back.

Massie: Within 40 minutes of me catching you red-handed...

Bondi: This guy has Trump derangement syndrome. You're a failed politician...

Massie: This is bigger than Watergate!... This cover-up spans decades, and you are responsible for this portion of it.

LMFAO when you lay it out like this the absurdity is just STAGGERING.

Comments saying they don’t have the most to lose bc they make less $. To the contrary, most of these women make the majority of their income from sponsorships and endorsements, which they are knowingly putting at risk by speaking out.

Forever proud to be a fan of these women 🖤

Since the whole 2016 trend is happening:

[Jesus Freakin Congress @TheJFreakinC]

🚨 Another day, another video of ICE agents illegally harassing a U.S. citizen for “proof of citizenship” while she walks through her own neighborhood in Minneapolis.

In the video, a woman is surrounded by masked ICE agents.

One agent tells her, “Do you have ID? If not, we’ll have to put you in our car and ID you.”

That statement alone is unlawful.

She calmly states, “I’m a U.S. citizen.”
The agent immediately demands ID anyway.

She correctly explains that she is not required to carry identification while walking in her neighborhood. There is no law requiring citizens to carry papers, and ICE does not have the authority to detain someone without reasonable, articulable suspicion of a specific crime.

At that point, the agents escalate.

They begin asking where she was born.
She responds, “Minneapolis is my home.”

The agents claim they are conducting an “immigration check” and repeat the question. That is not a legal basis for detention. Citizenship is not determined by place of birth alone, and ICE has no authority to conduct random street interrogations of people not suspected of immigration violations.

When she again refuses to show ID, an agent threatens, “We’re going to put you in our car then.”

That is an explicit threat of unlawful detention.

She says, “I should be able to walk around at 3 without being afraid for my life.”

Instead of disengaging, the agent again demands ID and again demands to know where she was born. She repeats, clearly and correctly, “It doesn’t matter where I was born. I’m a U.S. citizen.”

The agent then attempts intimidation, warning her that lying about being a U.S. citizen could result in federal charges, despite having no evidence she was lying and no lawful basis to continue the stop.

Only after repeated refusals to comply with an illegal detention do the agents finally walk away.

This wasn’t law enforcement. It was a fishing expedition, relying on fear, intimidation, and the false belief that Americans must carry papers to exist in public.

If masked federal agents can threaten to kidnap a U.S. citizen off the street for refusing to answer questions they have no legal right to ask, then the question isn’t whether rights are being violated.

The question is how long Americans are expected to tolerate it.

Tapper: Those are officers being attacked on Jan 6th? By this standard, would any of those officers be justified in shooting and killing the people, causing them physical harm?

Noem: When people are physically harming them, they have the authority to arrest those individuals.

Tapper: The president pardoned every single one of them.

Noem: President Trump has been so focused on is making sure that when we're out there, we don't pick and choose which situations are in which laws are enforced and which ones aren'

Tapper: I just showed you video of people attacking law enforcement officers. Undisputed proof, undisputed evidence. And I just said President Trump pardoned all of them. And you said that President Trump is enforcing all the laws equally. It's just not true. There's a different standard for law enforcement officials being attacked. If they're being attacked by trump supporters. We just saw that.

Charlie Kirk was killed by a rando and no high profile democrat supported it.

Renee Good was killed by the government and every high profile republican supported it.

Funny how debt is forgivable when it’s tied to yacht, hedge funds, or failed businesses but suddenly becomes a “character flaw” when it’s tied to education, healthcare, or survival.

Reminder that the Epstein Files are supposed to be released on Friday and every political development that you see between now until then should be viewed with that in mind.
