Congratulations to the ⁦@IndianaFever⁩ for victory over ⁦@LVAces⁩ yesterday. It was thrilling to be there live. The Aces do so many things between play to entertain. Loved it!

Longtime DRF writer Rampellini dies at age 53 https://t.co/I3LSTWRm39 Mary Rampellini will be hard to replace. Mary was respected, diligent and kind-hearted. As a DRF colleague and one of her many fans, I will miss Mary and her DRF stories. Sad news, reporting by @DRFHegarty.

I checked with his staff

Latest update: Sen. Mitch McConnell (R-KY) "appreciates the outpouring of support he’s receiving while he continues his recovery in the hospital. The Senator continues to improve, and is working closely with his staff on Kentucky & Senate matters while the Senate is out of session”

So White performers,
performing songs by Black artist,
for a White audience that hates Juneteenth, Black History Month and don’t want us to vote….
NOW THAT’S IRONY.

The United States is 250 years old. Mel Brooks and Dick Van Dyke have been alive for 40% of it.❤️

Happy 80th birthday to my friend George W. Bush!

Your friendship—and that of your father and your entire family—has been one of the great gifts of my life. It has always reminded me that long before we’re politicians, we’re fellow Americans and, above all, human beings.

And for the next month, I’m especially grateful to finally have someone older than me! Wishing you many more years of good health, happiness, and friendship.

Our country is stronger when we remember that what unites us is greater than what divides us.

Donald Trump is the perfect example of what happens when no one in your life has ever told you to shut the fuck up.

Wait a minute. Aren’t these the same Patriot Front bitches who crying and lamenting during the pandemic because they HAD to wear masks?

I think we moved on WAY too fast from Ken Paxton letting convicted child molester Adam Hoffman off with a ONE-DAY JAIL SENTENCE.

Hoffman, who admitted to sexually abusing a young boy for YEARS, didn’t even have to register as a sex offender.

WHERE IS THE OUTRAGE?

Elaine Chao: “I had to flee the hospital. My family runs a $14 billion shipping and chemical empire in China. And the staff kept forcing me to plug Mitch back in while I was charging my iPhone.”

🇳🇴 Norway manager Stale Solbakken: “Bad bad bad bad bad decision by FIFA that will hurt the World Cup. Not good for the sport. If they beat Belgium it will always have that extra thing about it. What happens with the next Red Card?”

17 Republicans voted NO ON WHAT???

The US Navy operates a 50,000 acre forest in Indiana whose entire job is keeping one wooden ship from 1797 afloat.

The ship is USS Constitution, still a commissioned warship with an active-duty crew. Cannonballs bounced off her in 1812 because the hull sandwiches a wall of live oak ribs between two layers of white oak planking, nearly 2 feet of solid wood so dense it barely floats. British 18-pounders hit it and dropped into the sea. A sailor yelled "her sides are made of iron" and the nickname stuck.

Here's the problem with owning a 229-year-old wooden ship: you can't buy the parts. Hull planks run up to 40 feet long and 7 inches thick, cut from single white oak trunks. A white oak takes over a century to grow that big. No lumberyard on earth stocks it.

So the Navy grows its own. Constitution Grove at Naval Support Activity Crane holds trees over 100 years old, reserved exclusively for this ship. Foresters there are managing oaks today that will become hull planking in the 2100s. The maintenance plan literally runs on tree time.

Every 20 years or so she enters dry dock and shipwrights swap out rotted timber. After two centuries of this, estimates put original 1797 wood at maybe 10 to 15 percent of the ship. The Navy keeps replacing her plank by plank because Congress mandated her preservation and because she's the only active US warship that has sunk an enemy vessel.

Every other asset in the Navy has a decommission date. This one has a tree farm.

In the meantime the men that worked their asses off their whole lives to get to this level of play are SCREWED! #TrumpScrewsEverythingUp

If we win tonight, the world will say it was rigged in our favor, and if we lose, Trump will say the refs rigged it in Belgium’s.

Ex-Trump supporter: "I did believe that the election was stolen. I believed that the rioters were patriots until I switched off Fox News and started getting news and information from other places. That's when it finally hit."

[CALL TO ACTIVISM @CalltoActivism]

🚨BREAKING: Sen. Ted Cruz just thanked Trump for intervening with FIFA to overturn Folarin Balogun’s red card.

Political interference is a violation of FIFA’s statutes and carries serious consequences including permanent EXPULSION from FIFA competitions.
