Remember: it was like pulling teeth to get Republicans to fund the 9/11 Victim Compensation Fund.

But it took them no time at all to create a $1.8 billion Insurrection Slush Fund to pay off the legal fees of the January 6th rioters who beat cops.

These are sick, corrupt people.

This exchange between @SenBlumenthal and Trump’s judicial nominees is utterly astounding.

If you can watch this and still think this country isn’t falling into authoritarianism and fascism under Donald Trump, then you are not being honest with yourself.

Ok, Jamie: Let me clear things up for you.

If my 5% wealth tax on billionaires was enacted you’d owe $135 million more in taxes & a family of 4 making $150,000 or less would receive a $12,000 payment.

Oh, and you’d still be worth more than $2.5 billion. Seems pretty fair to me.

suburbanites will drive 22 minutes to sit inside a chili's that's surrounded by nine acres of parking lot and then call my neighborhood "inconvenient" because the meter costs a dollar seventy five. the lack of self-awareness is almost performance art at this point

Bro, it’s 2026. It can’t be Biden’s fault any more. He didn’t start a war with Iran. That was Trump.

My favorite genre of TikTok right now is MAGA tourists abroad complaining about how they are treated once the locals immediately clock them as MAGA. This one is fucking Ireland of all places lmaoooooo

Congress, are you okay?
You’ve barely touched your fucking checks and balances.

While we're here: Hey @AP_Top25 - do us all a favor and please rank BYU appropriately to start next season.

That way, when BYU inevitably wins 10, 11 or 12 games in the regular season you guys don't need to pretend like you had no idea that they'd be so good all along.

Thanks🙌

[Kramer @KramerHolle]

If you're going to penalize a 1-loss Power Conference team for a weak strength of schedule... BYU's SOS is better than Ole Miss and Notre Dame.

If you're going to penalize a team for not having the strongest power ratings (which incorporate prior year's history and recruiting rankings)... BYU's FPI is higher than Oklahoma's.

If you're going to penalize a team for a non-competitive / bad loss... Alabama lost by 14 to a team with a losing record and Miami lost to two unranked teams.

If you're going to use strength-of-record like you indicated you would, BYU's SOR is the second highest of teams 6-12.

BYU also (1) made its conference championship game and (2) if you sum up the wins of the teams it has beaten, it is THIRD in the country. It is hard to win games and BYU has beaten a lot of teams with a lot of wins.

This. Makes. No. Sense.

The @CFBPlayoff should be ashamed of itself. It has literally contorted itself into a pretzel to avoid putting BYU where it should be ranked (somewhere between 6th - 9th).

RT to get the info out there. They need to feel pressure.

If you can’t make the College Football Playoff with 11 regular season wins in a P4 conference and your only loss being on the road to a top 5 team…. There’s something miserably wrong with the system.

[College Football Report @CFBReport]

Hey @espn, we see what you’re doing leaving BYU and Utah off the graphic.

Listed 8, 9, 10, 12, and 14… but not 11 and 13.

[First and 16 - A Big 12 Podcast @Firstand16_Pod]

Me: BYU deserves to be in the Playoff!

Everyone: Try beating someone first!

Me: BYU has six wins over 7+ win teams. That leads the nation. They also have wins over two currently ranked teams.

Everyone: Well that’s because it’s the Big 12, they all stink.

Me: Really? Because the Big 12 had a winning record in non-conference games against P4 competition. They also have five ranked teams, including 4 in the Top 20.

Everyone: That doesn’t prove anything! Look at their SOS or SOR.

Me: That’s fine. BYU is 6th is SOR, ahead of every two loss team. They also have a higher SOS than Ole Miss, Notre Dame, and Miami.

Everyone: Okay well they got blown out by three scores to Texas Tech!

Me: Your right, that was a tough loss. A lot like Oklahoma losing a neutral site game by 3 scores, Oregon losing at Home by 2 scores, or Alabama losing by two scores to a 5-6 Florida State.

Everyone: 😑 😡 😤
…. Well in a hypothetical game, BYU would lose so case closed.

[locked on big 12, america’s conference. @LOBig12]

BYU is 10-1. a power four team that is 10-1.
