@krichardson410 @GrantPaulsen Disagree. Starts and ends with a young coach who apparently has little control over his team. He needed to get his players to stop taking so many 3s and focus on burning more time off the clock in their 4th quarter possessions.

@Gianl1974 Debase and degrade the office.

@CaitlinPacific Classic cheap shot — one stain does not negate a first-rate career.

@mikemovies Very good film version of an excellent book. Great source always helps.

@RadioFreeTom @jim_sinclairjr A woman who has no shame and is utterly beneath contempt. Sadly, like the Trump family, she laughs all the way to the bank.

The inflation rate in Biden's last month in office was 2.9%. Trump (supported by a Republican Congress) has driven it up to 4.2%.

Thank you, voters, for your attention to this matter.

@waltermasterson A truly moronic post, aimed at simply garnering attention to whomever Walter Masterson is. I learned one thing from it: This account is unworthy of serious attention and I’ll never click on it again.

This one hits hard.

Trump's latest claim about gas prices: “If you notice, the price is not very high, relatively speaking. I mean, it’s lower than during the Biden administration.” 

Today's AAA national average, $4.16 per gallon, is certainly lower than the peak Biden-era average, $5.02 in June 2022 (in the wake of Russia's invasion of Ukraine). But it's higher today than it was:

- On 91% of the days of Biden's term…all but 126 of Biden’s 1,460 full days in office
- On every single day of the final 29 months of Biden's term
- (Obviously) on the day Trump took over from Biden in Jan. 2025, when it was $3.12

@LucasSa56947288 @CheriJacobus She could have been a contender. But somehow she lost her way…

@kayleighMc6789 Debased and degraded the office.

@td_nash Of course. And his final great achievement: in 1969, coaching the Washington Redskins to the team’s first winning season in 14 years.

@chefjoseandres @NormOrnstein @SenTedCruz Cruz: an utterly contemptible human being.

@STATter911 @patcollins4 @eyeondc The city’s first championship pro team since 1942! What’s utterly sad is how irrelevant the b-ball franchise has been for decades.

@KellyScaletta Well done!

@mikemovies It is, quite simply, network TV’s greatest mini-series. Nothing else comes close.

[don frederick @donfrederick2]

@danaski56182362 @drpepperdavid Agree. The Iraq War fiasco alone sinks GW Bush and ranking him third shows that this account is more partisan than the author is willing to admit.

[don frederick @donfrederick2]

@drpepperdavid Regardless of where one stands on the liberal/conservative spectrum, it strikes me that the Iraq War fiasco pushes GW Bush much farther down your rankings. I don’t see how you can give him such a pass on that.

I’ve been thinking a lot about the extraordinary outbursts of the President of the United States against female journalists... well, actually against journalists in general and journalism. But it feels like he saves his most childlike behavior and irrational language for female reporters, calling them all kinds of names that kids in kindergarten are given times out for. It’s stunning to me to witness such behavior from any leader, any CEO, any person of influence or importance. I’ve never witnessed someone like this raging, this weekend with @meetthepress host @kwelkernbc, just last week in the Oval Office with @cnn’s @kaitlancollins, calling women stupid or piggy, telling them to “smile”, calling them darling, demeaning their credibility. Every good man should denounce this behavior. Every person should be able to stand up for their colleagues and say “No more.”

Imagine this man screaming like this at your daughter, your wife, your sister, your mother... would you stand for it? No, you wouldn’t! And neither should any of us. It’s unacceptable and undignified. Period. End of story.
