One example of the information mess we’re in… gym had on Fox news and a few older people rightly objected only to request WJLA 24/7 “ABC” which is actually just Sinclair

Worth remembering that it’s been reported that this particular ship was likely unarmed (and the US knew it was unarmed) because it was returning from multi-country training exercise in India. Over a hundred dead or missing crew.

Here's the first-ever Linkedin message from this company, which seems to be a small company run by two millennials with some background in migrant shelters.

Four months ago they suggest they won a contract to run a "mass care site" in Lexington, KY, but this is their first-ever federal contract.

this is not an amount of money any individual or household should be able to have and we have to abolish both billionaires as a group and the economic system that makes them possible

I must be missing something because the troll can’t possibly be that the Mayor shouldn’t speak for most of the 8.5 million New Yorkers, but instead be pro war because a single constituent escaped assault and their would-be attackers were tried and successfully convicted all before he was even mayor

Almost an all 4 star week but I just think that if Klingon Christopher Lloyd killed your son you’d come up with something a little more punchy than “I’ve had about enough of you” as you shove him to his death #LastFourWatched

The entire Democratic strategy debate — "moderate" or move left? fight or compromise? — is based on a misreading of data. Voters don't think Dems are too progressive; they think Dems are weak. The actual math on what to do about this isn't even close!

Since this will likely come up in the SOTU: Yes, US stock markets are up since Trump took office (14%).
But in the rest of the world, markets are up WAY more. Cumulative market gains are more than triple ours (43%)

Honestly the NYPD should be embarrassed that anyone is complaining. They walked through a planned snowball fight and got pelted with snowballs. Them’s the rules, man. That is not assaulting an officer

I’m not sure how people are going to react when they find out in a couple years that this is how most decisions across the government are being made now

China had only given up 1 steal in the tournament so far. US got steals in the 9th (to tie) and 10th (to win). Incredible shot from the Skip, and really fun match. 🇺🇸 🇺🇸
