Dear America, We're not booing your hockey players. We're not booing your country. We're not even booing you. We're booing your asshole of a president who keeps threatening our sovereignty for zero reason. Once he leaves us alone it'll stop. Hope that clears it up for you.

PSA for Democrats: Stop clutching your pearls about Biden’s pardons. Condemn Trump’s pardons of angry rioters who trashed the Capitol like a motel room after a concert and assaulted police. Defend Biden’s pardons for innocent people Trump threatened to prosecute. It’s not hard.
Replying to @mkraju
Democratic Sen. Tim Kaine told me he's "very disappointed" in outgoing Biden's preemptive pardons for his family members because "I think it's harder to make a critique, to stand on the high ground and make a critique of the Trump pardons on January 6 when President Biden is pardoning family members.”

Neo-Nazi, white supremacist and violent rightist fringe groups are amplifying and celebrating Musk's Nazi salute from last night. Combined with yesterday's pardoning of hundreds of rioters, the last 24 hours have been a gift to those who trade in political violence.

.@aliciakeys is a 16-time Grammy winner — and now, the original cast of @HellsKitchenBwy is nominated for one, too. @gayleking brought Keys back to the superstar’s New York City alma mater to meet with the music teacher who inspired her as a student and a character in her Broadway musical. Some current students get a special surprise too.

Imagine having a self esteem so thin and leaky that you have to constantly gin up preposterously laughable triumphs you could never sell anywhere but at the courses you own. What's next? You win the gold medal? It's all just so pathetic. #CommanderInCheat

I think it’s important to remind my fellow Americans that Trump is a fascist running a campaign promising retribution and revenge, on the premise that he has unlimited power and democracy is a threat to American freedom.

Folks, Donald Trump is still Donald Trump. He will still do everything he can, including inciting violence, to steal the election if he loses. We watched him try it in 2020. Nothing has changed.

The reason Jerry West is the logo for the NBA is because he embodied the qualities we admire in our best athletes: skills as a player, dedication as a teammate, and integrity as a person. He was my coach, and my advisor, but mostly he was my friend. Today, a part of the continent has broken off and we are all left a little smaller. I know I am. I especially want to send my deepest condolences to Karen and the entire West family.

It appears that the difference between what Oakland offered and what the A's wanted was about $35 million or so over three years. Or about the same that the Angels are paying reliever Robert Stephenson. Meanwhile, owners overseeing an industry worth many tens of billions of dollars stand by and watch their weakest franchise put on this cheap circus, and do nothing. Incomprehensible. And a terrible business decision.

Way to endear yourself to Iowans. Haley keeps blowing the easy layups.
.@nikkihaley flubs Caitlin Clark’s name at “Lady Hawkeye’s Tailgate” event in Coralville. Haley will attend the women’s game this afternoon. “So we're super excited” to see the Iowa women, Haley says. “What a team they are. What a great coach. … Caitlin Collins is phenomenal.”

How to keep digging the hole:
Nikki Haley today: “Of course the Civil War was about slavery. We know that. That’s the easy part of it. What I was saying was what does it mean to us today? What it means to us today is about freedom. That’s what that was all about.”

Cool moment at halftime of last night's Ravens-Jaguars game as 91 people from 38 different countries became LEGAL American citizens! 🇺🇸 After taking their oaths, the entire stadium joined them reciting the Pledge of Allegiance..something so rarely done in public (and in schools) anymore. This is the 6th annual Naturalization Ceremony the @Jaguars have hosted..and they were the first NFL team to do so. Love it!! 🇺🇸 – at Florida, USA

How do we sell San Francisco to baseball free agents like Shohei Ohtani? Start by defending the city, and eliminating the word “perception” from our vocabularies altogether, writes @peterhartlaub. trib.al/vRLxzV2
