Afternoon host @indie1023 / @COPublicRadio. I like riding bikes, snowboarding, and food. Opinions are mine.

@Coach_Yac The enshittification of the NFL. It’s been happening slowly, but it’s happening. More games on more streaming networks, more games on more nights of the week, more playoff teams playing more playoff games… There’s no law written that says the NFL has to be king forever.

[Jason Thomas @jasonthomas93]

@AdamSchefter @nwagoner Love that he’s grinding and working his ass off. Just be careful and don’t do what Jerry Rice did in ‘97 (came back too early and jacked it up again).

[Jason Thomas @jasonthomas93]

@BianchiWeather This makes me happy. Not the drought part, but the part where we try to normalize not wasting time/money/water on our stupid lawns.

[Mike Levin @MikeLevin]

Donald Trump called mail-in voting “mail-in cheating” on Monday. That same day, news broke that he just voted by mail in a Florida special election.

His polling place is a 15-minute drive from Mar-a-Lago.

He spent the last two weekends there.

He mailed it anyway.

He is now holding the entire country hostage to pass a bill making it harder for you to vote the way he just voted.

Shameless hypocrisy.

While Trump dodged the draft, Robert Mueller volunteered for the Marines after graduating Princeton. He was awarded a Bronze Star with combat V, rescuing a wounded Marine while under fire. He was later shot in the thigh, awarded a Purple Heart, and returned to lead his platoon.

To anyone still gullible enough to fall for scummy media hoaxes: Trump said warmongering neocons love sending your kids to die for wars they would never fight themselves. Liz Cheney is Kamala’s top advisor. Liz wants to invade the whole Middle East. Kamala = WWIII. Trump = Peace.

@Boopa1219 Hey, man! Thanks for the shout. You can give my current show a stream anytime.. 2p-6p MT. https://t.co/sHG6ReBNOZ

[Joe Walsh @WalshFreedom]

Look, I know in this age of Trump the fundamental concepts of right and wrong no longer matter, the law no longer matters, the truth no longer matters, and here at home our Constitution no longer matters. So I’m probably just shouting into the wind, but…it doesn’t matter what you think of Maduro, what we just did in Venezuela is immoral, unconstitutional, and illegal. And it makes us no different than any other dictatorial regime that invades another sovereign nation.

[Jason Thomas @jasonthomas93]

@Coach_Yac Can I nitpick and ask for a chop at the ball?

[Jake Tapper 🦅 @jaketapper]

From WSJ: “Inside the White House, top advisers joke that they are ruling Congress with an ‘iron fist,’… Steve Bannon, the influential Trump ally, likened Congress to the Duma, the Russian assembly that is largely ceremonial.” https://t.co/eDHVW0Fhc0

[Aaron Reichlin-Melnick @ReichlinMelnick]

The video of this incident is just as bad as it sounds. The priest is standing there, not doing anything remotely illegal, and without warning a masked DHS agent on the roof shoots him in the top of his head with a pepper ball.

[Governor Gavin Newsom @CAgovernor]

This is a breathtaking abuse of the law and power by the President of the United States.

America is on the brink of martial law.

Do not be silent.

[Chris Tye @TVTye]

Just In: Federal judge temporarily blocks Trump administration from deploying *any* National Guard troops in Oregon.

The judge is a Trump appointee. Unclear what this may mean for Illinois deployment.

@NinersNation With a lame FG in the non-turnover drive after having 1st & goal..

[Brian Allen @allenanalysis]

Ty Cobb, Trump’s own former WH attorney, isn’t mincing words:

“We have a president ordering his AG to indict his enemies. And the AG… says: ‘Yes, sir. How fast can I get that done for you?’”

Let that sink in.

This isn’t justice. It’s regime revenge.

[Jason Thomas @jasonthomas93]

Totally normal.

[CNN @CNN]

JUST IN: President Donald Trump told reporters he expects other political opponents to be prosecuted after the indictment of former FBI Director James Comey.

JD Vance: "Our own government encouraged private companies to silence people...Under Donald Trump's leadership, we may disagree with your views, but we will fight to defend your right to offer it in the public square." (Feb. 2025)

[Brendan Carr @BrendanCarrFCC]

Should the government censor speech it doesn’t like? Of course not.

The FCC does not have a roving mandate to police speech in the name of the “public interest.”

Trust me.

[Ezra Klein @ezraklein]

In the last few years we've seen:

- The plot to kidnap Gretchen Whitmer
- The Storming of the Capitol and pipe bombs left at the RNC and DNC
- The break-in to kidnap Nancy Pelosi and the brutal on Paul Pelosi
- Multiple assassination attempts against Trump
- The assassination of Minnesota House Speaker Melissa Hortman and her husband and the shooting of on State Senator John Hoffman and his wife
- Luigi Mangione's assassination of Brian Thompson
- The assassination of Charlie Kirk

Political violence is contagious. It is spreading. It is not confined to one side or belief system. It should terrify us all.

The foundation of a free society is the ability to participate in it without fear of violence. Political violence is always an attack against us all. You have to be so blind not to see that.
