I’m here for all of the nonsense. Also hoops, urbanism and urban hoops. KU.

Dear @RealTomHoman: Can you please review the evidence and videos before you go on national TV and say stupid shit and lie to the American people?

If you actually review the evidence in these multiple shootings you will see that ICE / BP are out of control, rogue agencies.

@iamalmostlegend But does any of it answer why he's doing what he's doing?

America. What the hell happened to us?

Canada 🇨🇦 is fighting enormous #wildfires. Firefighters are risking their lives. Families are evacuating. Communities are watching the horizon and wondering whether they’ll still have homes tomorrow.

And a depressing number of Americans demand that #Canada somehow “control” millions of acres of burning wilderness.

The president threatens tariffs…

I’m not that old but I still remember a time when this country used to send help when people were in danger.

Canada is our closest neighbor, one of our oldest allies, and one of the first countries to show up when Americans need help. The common sense response is compassion, cooperation, and every available firefighting resource we can spare.

Helping allies shouldn’t be controversial. Wake the hell up, #USA, and stop acting like petulant children.

More national attention for Colorado’s Gov race. The LA Times writes that GOP candidate Victor Marx is “what happens when a party stops seriously competing and instead indulges its fever dreams.” https://t.co/AlJVNPExvl

This dandy from the WSJ Editorial Board:

"Since Mr. Trump declassified the memo, we can quote the part he didn’t. “Vote tabulation systems would be difficult to manipulate on a wide enough scale to compromise election results,” it says. “The systems in each voting location are not connected to the Internet or to each other, and many methods for exploiting them rely on physical proximity.” Achieving it across many jurisdictions “would be difficult” and “audits and paper trails very likely would uncover such an effort."

...
"Unfortunately, the message from Mr. Trump and others has been that America’s elections can’t be trusted, and the only hope is the SAVE America Act. Aside from being untrue, this is a political backfire for the GOP. If Republican voters believe it, and the bill falls short, then why waste time going to the polls in November? Has the GOP already forgotten how Mr. Trump’s fraud outbursts cost them two Senate seats in the 2021 Georgia runoffs?"

If you needed more evidence this is an influencer administration here’s the FBI director posting a dramatic promo video of him hopping out of private jets and signing autographs to honor his own role in the World Cup

[Joe Pompliano @JoePompliano]

It’s been a hell of a weekend for Matt Damon. He has #1 movie at the box office, got to attend the World Cup Final, and just got mistaken for Brad Pitt on the TV broadcast.

A reminder that the Tate brothers are in this country because the Trump administration intervened to lift their travel restrictions.

Ford: "I find it a shame, the administration in the U.S. and Congresspeople writing these letters and blaming us. They have a very short, short memory. We had the water bombers, everyone ready, going over to California. That's what neighbours do. You don't start threatening and criticizing, because guess what, one day it's going to be your turn and we're going to be down there without hesitation to support our neighbours."

Lecturing and threatening Canada on managing nearly 1.3 billion acres of boreal forest when you can’t properly renovate a 2000ft long reflecting pool in your capital is peak MAGA.

[Kyle Brittain @BadWeatherKyle]

Large amounts of wildfire smoke are moving from the northwestern US into western Canada this evening!

What should we do?

Try to stop it at the border? Should we tariff it? Should we sue?

[Covie @covie_93]

America burns and Canada sends help.

Canada burns and trump sends threats.

Have the Americans tried shooting at the smoke?
