Q: "You just hit the game-winning shot in an NBA Finals game in front of your home crowd. How does that feel?"
OG Anunoby: "Uh, it feels cool. I mean, everyone's pretty excited. I'm excited too"
The not-Chicago Bears? Today the Bears released a statement saying how excited they were for their “vision” of a taxpayer-funded stadium in Hammond, INDIANA. Umm…nope. If you can’t afford to keep the team in Chicago, sell it. Period.
Look, if DHS and ICE legitimately felt that these killings were justified, then they wouldn't be doing everything in their power to stop normal-course investigations into them. But that's precisely what's happening.
Just a thought for @JoeBiden, @BarackObama, @BillClinton, and George Bush, but today would be a great day for all former living Presidents to go together to Minnesota and to help defend Democracy.
AOC: "How rich is it that she is saying showing up to the scene of a protest with a legally owned weapon should be grounds for a person's death, execution at the hands of the state, by the same party and administration that praises Kyle Rittenhouse."
Statement from the family of Alex Pretti, Michael and Susan Pretti:
“We are heartbroken but also very angry.
Alex was a kindhearted soul who cared deeply for his family and friends and also the American veterans whom he cared for as an ICU nurse at the Minneapolis VA hospital. Alex wanted to make a difference in this world. Unfortunately he will not be with us to see his impact. I do not throw around the hero term lightly. However his last thought and act was to protect a woman.
The sickening lies told about our son by the administration are reprehensible and disgusting. Alex is clearly not holding a gun when attacked by Trump’s murdering and cowardly ICE thugs. He has his phone in his right hand and his empty left hand is raised above his head while trying to protect the woman ICE just pushed down all while being pepper sprayed.
Please get the truth out about our son. He was a good man. Thank you”
It's sad - but I guess true - that a Republican saying that a President shouldn't imprison a Federal Reserve Chairman for a policy difference is "remarkable".
How unbelievably low the modern Republican Party has sunk.
I am always fascinated by people who place the burden of survival on everyday civilians, rather than the armed officers pulling up to their communities unannounced in unmarked vehicles and masks
The question that so offended the White House: : “Is it appropriate, President Trump, that a president in office should be engaged in so much business activity?”
This administration is systematically killing free speech, and these capitulating media companies are acting as willing accomplices. Frightening and shameful.
Ari Cohn, counsel at @TheFIREorg, reacts:
"The government pressured ABC — and ABC caved. The timing of ABC's decision, on the heels of the FCC chairman’s pledge to the network to “do this the easy way or the hard way,” tells the whole story. Another media outlet withered under government pressure, ensuring that the administration will continue to extort and exact retribution on broadcasters and publishers who criticize it.
We cannot be a country where late night talk show hosts serve at the pleasure of the president. But until institutions grow a backbone and learn to resist government pressure, that is the country we are."
John Oliver: "The more you listen to some Republicans complain about what goes on on campuses, the clearer it becomes, they don't want diversity of thought. They want one specific type of thought."
JD Vance: "We should seize the institutions of the left and turn them against the left. We need a de-Ba'athification program... my strategy is, de-institutionalize the left, re-institutionalize the right."
Iceland is the world’s biggest consumer of SSRIs. They’ve had fewer than 10 gun homicides since 2020; in the US, there have been over 95,000 in that time.
It’s the guns.
Pro-tip to any GOP who think this should sway them:
Those things were left out of this bill for a reason.
Leadership does NOT know your community. YOU do. Their job is to psychologically isolate you & apply ungodly amounts of pressure.
YOUR job is to stand up for your people.
