@CarlBovisNature I know many find them ill-regarded as invasive (in NA). But I’ve had the pleasure of living with these birds over the last 5 years as they’ve nested in a vent in my home and return each year. I don’t chase them away. Their ability for mimicry is amazing and they are beautiful

@Scaramucci @JoeTrippi I’m not embarrassed. I did everything I could to prevent this mess.

We’re about to spend $300,000,000,000 rebuilding Iran after spending $80,000,000,000 destroying it, while telling Americans on Medicaid to take a hike.

America First.

Lou Whitaker has the highest career WAR of any player not in the Hall of Fame who isn't still on the ballot, not yet eligible, didn't bet on baseball and didn't play in the 1800s.

Very emotional moment from the interview with Zelenskyy. You should watch this.

JOURNALIST: Do you miss being an actor?

ZELENSKYY:?I miss being a good father.

JOURNALIST: When your children were little, what did you tell them the most? What was the thing that you told them the most when they were small?

ZELENSKYY: I love you.

JOURNALIST: And what do you tell them now that they're older?

ZELENSKYY: Oh, I miss you.

JOURNALIST: When was the last time you cried?

ZELENSKYY: I will try to do it after our interview. No, I mean this, between us. I'm a normal man and then there are a lot of different moments, between us, almost each day, a lot of losses on the battlefield and civilians, and there are absolutely crazy attacks on our people.

And I'm just, it's… I mean, It's very difficult really, when I give orders (medals). I said about it. It's always difficult for me when I give orders (medals) to the mothers and fathers, who lost their children. In such moments, really, I often cry.

JOURNALIST: Are you a hero?

ZELENSKYY: No.

JOURNALIST: So who is your hero?

ZELENSKYY:?My hero? My children, my army, our army, and Ukrainian people. So I'm a part… I'm also a Ukrainian, so I'm a part of our nation. But now our nation, I think, that our nation is absolutely heroic.

@bobandtom @1047WIOT making fun of Poland’s people put your ignorance on display. That was a lazy attempt at comedy reliant on a tired stereotype. It’s so old and ill founded.

@OfficialOPLive I just want to say Toledo is so much more than the violence you see so frequently.

Kirk Ferentz is still out there coaching the fine details like it’s 1999, and that’s why the standard never slips.

@JohnKeatingTV @23KGibby My always favorite Tiger. His tenacity and determination were qualities I admired as a kid playing sports and ultimately helped me as I fought cancer.

Happy Birthday, Gibby. Thanks for always being you. 🙂

Trump is a symptom, not the disease.

If it wasn’t him it would be someone else with the same narcissistic, populist impulses — because the underlying conditions that created him haven’t changed.

The median home in the US is $430,000.

You need about $150,000 in income to cover the mortgage and have any discretionary money left.

The median salary is $84,000. That’s a $50,000 gap.

Fifty years ago 80% of Americans could afford the dream.

Today it’s out of reach for at least half the country.

When people feel the system is rigged against them and nobody in power is fixing it, they check out.

When they check out long enough, someone like Trump comes along and becomes the avatar for all that anger.

They adhere to him even when he’s doing the exact opposite of what he promised.

The idea that when Trump loses power in 2028 things revert to normal — that’s not going to happen.

The conditions that created him will still be there.

Until we fix those, we’re just waiting for the next one.
