big shoutout though to the one guy on the US hockey team who starts chanting 2-FOR-2! 2-FOR-2! when Trump brings up the women's team while pretty much everybody else laughs, he gets a pass
in public, the men's hockey team has been supportive of the women's team, going to games, cheering them on, saying they were inspired by the OT golden goal
must be gutting to feel that support and then get first-hand evidence that behind closed doors, when it's just The Boys, they're laughing at you
41-year-old Elana Meyers Taylor wins her sixth Olympic medal and finally her first gold. Medaled in her fifth straight Olympics.
Bronze for fellow U.S. bobsledder Kaillie Humphries, who won gold in 2022.
All four heats of monobob were a ton of fun.
MONOBOB!
ELANA MEYERS TAYLOR FINALLY WINS GOLD YOU GUYS!!! She finally does it, tying Bonnie Blair to be the most decorated winter Olympian in USA history!!!
Nolte will win silver, with Armbruster Humphries bronze
Lisa Buckwitz, Melanie Hasler, and Melissa Lotholz top 6
Laura Nolte is up .11 off the top, she needs to be clean up top. A hit into 2, little skiddy out of 3, skiddy out of 4! She has to be clean through K2 if she wants the gold. Good exit, but not great. She's closing...BUT IT'S NOT ENOUGH! ELANA MEYERS TAYLOR WINS GOLD BY .04!!! WHAT A RACE!!!
I’m crying. I’ve been watching women’s bobsled since 2010 and she’s just such a legend.
I get this, but here's where I'm at:
Trump & Vance are the worst of us. America is bigger than them, and they win if we let them define us.
Team USA is the best of us. It's filled with Americans MAGA hates—first-generation + immigrants, LGBTQ+ athletes, people of color—& I'm gonna root for them.
Your daily reminder that the U.S. Postal SERVICE is a service that is designed to benefit taxpayers and not a business that should be expected to turn a profit.
Sadly Yale did not beat Harvard but an overtime thriller was a great way to end my birthday.
We an incredible morning standing out in the cold for hours waiting to cheer on the SUPER BOWL CHAMPIONS during their triumphant parade through my beloved city.

Rev. Mariann Edgar Budde to Trump: "I ask you to have mercy upon the people in our country who are scared now. There are gay, lesbian, and transgender people in Democratic, Republican, and independent families, some who fear for their lives ... and the vast majority of immigrants are not criminals"

It was great to be back on North Broad to cheer on my beloved Temple Owls! We had a rough start with far too many airballs, but we ended up with a nice win over Buffalo!
I enjoyed Gladiator II. It was very silly but a fun watch. Paul Mescal’s performance was much better than the reviews I saw indicated. Denzel stole the show though.
Finished my second ever half marathon today!
And didn’t even let her son do her Temple work. The disrespect for a woman who has been so faithful to them is awful.
“Absolutely anything is possible, and we must acknowledge this, not out of surrender, but as a means of readying ourselves for the impossible fights ahead.”

His final words where he tells Jerri and Jenna to “steer clear because he has lots of friends” crack me up.
Thrilled to be on BlueSky!
