Tonight, I met Col. Eugene Vindman. Yes, THAT Eugene Vindman - the one who vowed to support and defend the Constitution of the United States against all enemies, foreign AND domestic, who had the guts to speak truth to power, even though it cost him. A true American 🇺🇸 patriot.

The Graham Platner fiasco proves that the Republicans don’t have the market cornered on misogyny. Until we nominate and vote for candidates on the basis of character rather than perceived electability, we will continue to get the government we deserve, not the one we want.

Karma. Trump puts his thumb on the scale, as he always does, inducing FIFA’s Gianni Infantino to reinstate Balogun (who turned out to be a non-factor in the game), thereby drawing the ire of the entire soccer world. And we lose because of impossibly sloppy defense. Deflating.

@bennyjohnson Um, Benny, did you realize those are FRENCH aircraft, and red, white and blue are also the colors of the French flag. And Mamdani is a socialist, not a communist.

@Scaramucci Karma, Anthony, karma. I call it the reverse Midas touch. Everything he messes with turns to shit.

@EricLDaugh Terrific. But so what? Were any of the families with children able to stay out that late to actually witness it after yet another lengthy speech?
You are such a shill for Trump. Do you have a shrine to him in your living room so that you can worship him at home?

Today’s Classic Rock pick: “Saturday in the Park” - Chicago (1972)

“Saturday in the park
I think it was the Fourth of July…
People reaching, really touching
A real celebration…
Listen children, all is not lost
All is not lost, oh, no”

@StephenM Yeah, in the same way it was divine providence that Ahab was king of Israel

@BoLoudon He honored his commitment to a signed performance contract. And he crushed it. It doesn’t humiliate anyone.

Today’s Classic Rock pick is in honor of the Cape Verde football squad, who treated us to the best match thus far of this year’s Copa Mondial: “Take it to the Limit” by the Eagles (1975)

@bennyjohnson UFC has a widespread following, but to claim that it’s more American or patriotic (are sports patriotic?) than the NBA Finals is a bit of a stretch. The fight was staged because the format lends itself to a small piece of real estate, and because DJT is tight with Dana White.

@its_Lexieroy Lack of discernment???

@stephenasmith @ufc And UFC fighter Josh Hokit did his best to reinforce the stereotype that all heavyweights are lunkheads.

This month’s performative presidential classic rock pick: “War Pigs” - Black Sabbath

“Politicians hide themselves away
They only started the war…
Time will tell on their power minds
Making war just for fun”

The Strait of Hormuz was still open on February 27.

Jus’ sayin’. 🎤
