Candidates confident in their campaign don’t avoid ALL debates.
Candidates "running away" with an election don't beg for more debates...

Yes, the Sixers scored 114 points. But you left off the fact the Knicks scored 144 in that clinching game of the Eastern Conference semifinals. Knicks in 5.

I’ve enjoyed my chats with @DanielDiMartino over the years. Disagree if you may about his takes, but the guy has lived a life that offers more perspective than any talking head can dream to offer. Insulting his accent to score political points is some Bo French level xenophobia.
Why has the guy talking not been deported yet he speaks worse english than Melania

Huh. I wonder if Trump did anything to warrant any of those investigations...
I will not hear any complaining about this. Joe Biden tried to put Donald Trump in jail for the rest of his life. If he can't tolerate a little bit of mockery, then too bad for him. Anybody pretending that President Trump needs to adopt this artifice of "Oh yeah, there's really bipartisan unity, and God forbid we insult one another," is being ridiculous. You don't get to try to put the former president in jail and then expect that the rest of us will just be okay with it (or that you won't get mocked if you end up losing)

Anyone who believes REM left no cultural footprint must also believe you can’t get there from here.
REM is a band who was one of the biggest acts on earth at one point, but now has zero cultural footprint.

Excellent, angry short piece by Rusty Reno, calling Don Jr and Eric Trump the Uday and Qusay Hussein of MAGA. He’s right. As Rusty says, it’s hard to separate the good from the bad in this administration, but the financial corruption is undeniable. firstthings.com/the-stench-o…

Trump promised everyone $5000 literally last week.
Democrat socialists love to promise free stuff.    But they never mention who pays for it.

“Undertow” is now stuck in my head to the tune of “Even Flow.”
Charlie Cook: While many have long predicted that Democrats will enjoy a “blue wave” election, I think of it more as a “red undertow,” which will pull many Republicans under and significantly trim the margins for many others. A blue wave implies an endorsement or affirmation of Democrats and their policies. But Democrats' brand is still in tatters from 2021-2025, particularly 2021 and 2022, when they not only had President Biden in the White House but also majorities in the Senate and House. Fortunately for Democrats, this election will in most cases not be about them. It will, of course, be mostly about the occupant of the White House. Over the last 90 days, President Trump’s political standing has transitioned from very unpopular to toxic and now to radioactive. cookpolitical.com/analysis/n…

The child was never seen again.
More of this, please. In the midst of our big moments and everyday demands, may we remember to reach out to another, lift them up, and welcome them in. To us, it may cost little. To a child, it can mean everything. Here is to seeing someone, making room for them, and taking a moment to give them a memory that can fuel their spirit, expand their horizons, and perhaps even change what they believe is possible. May we see more of this. May we be more of this.

If you actually believe this about Trump, then you’re way more lost than I thought. Mocking a fellow American president in front of a communist dictator is grotesque. And traitorous.👇
I look at this differently. He's showing a rival that he won't forget a slight (and trying to jail Trump for life was worse than anything Trump has done to Biden). Today we laugh together at a man who crossed me. Tomorrow I'll nail your ass to my wall if you cross me. Let's eat.

Feels like GOP learned wrong lesson from the success of the Trump They/Them ad. Point was Harris was focused on cultural issues when you’re worried about the economy. GOP flooding the zone with these type ads and voters could start asking why they’re talking about this instead of gas, groceries, housing or the war
A new MAGA Inc. ad goes: "James Talarico is weird."

We hired a new VP named Michael Lee. Unfortunately we already have a Michael Lee. He works in the warehouse. He's been here 11 years. New VP gets: michael.lee2@company.com He immediately messages IT. “Can you move the other Michael to michael.lee2 and give me michael.lee?” No. He asks HR. HR asks me if we can “prioritize seniority.” I explain that the warehouse Michael has eleven years of email history tied to that address and changing it because someone with a nicer title arrived would be insane. VP reluctantly keeps the 2. Warehouse Michael finds out. Changes his Teams display name to: Michael Lee (Original) By Friday the VP is being referred to as Sequel Mike. He has asked IT to intervene. Unfortunately nickname management is outside our support scope.
