Oh my god

The Federalist Society claims to defend the Constitution. Donald Trump, the ex-president with whom the Society worked so closely, has just attacked the Constitution in an incendiary way. Do the Federalist Society or its members have a word to say in defense of our Constitution?

A twice impeached former president who lost badly at the polls in 2020 has called for our Constitution & laws to be suspended 2 years later. I believer the proper term for this would be, a coup. Where is the outrage? The condemnation from the party he is still the leader of?

1/ The question every Republican now has to answer is whether they support replacing the Constitution & our laws with Trump. That's what he's called for-a takeover. If we let them get away with silence, then the frogs are already boiled. Yes it's a Sunday but this is urgent.

A little girl wrote to the Los Angeles Department of Animal Control asking if she could have a pet unicorn. Their response is everything. ❤️

Watching billionaires behaving foolishly or destructively is a reminder to those of us who are pro-free market that capitalism deserves only two cheers, that it requires democratic regulation--and that there's a reason many decent and thoughtful people have been social democrats.

This is what I want from my government

Best thing you'll see this week.

At Thomas Dale HS they have a big kids art show. One class had to create social messages about things going on in the world 👇👇👇. Kids too want drivers to slow down and pay attention

"I'm sure your father and, I being a father, we would be very proud of our children stepping forward, carrying our name forward." James Hong tells Katie Phang in an emotional moment during their conversation #KatiePhangShow

A Richmond VA/Richmond Kickers 🦘 reference in the latest Ted Lasso 😳 We made it, y’all!

i can't imagine why this platform is having a hard time attracting advertisers

Even though I’m a middle-aged man who studied French in college, listening to this week’s Stay Tuned with Preet Bharara made me want to enroll at Univ of Rochester just so I could take classes taught by Adam Frank

Can I just point out that Veronica Ewers got back on her bike and completed the stage with a broken collarbone? Yes, I know this happens. No, I will never get my head around it. Recover well Veronica.

⁦Lyle Lovett⁩ This picture was taken in 2016. Claire is now a teenager and looking forward to your show tonight in Richmond!

Trump starts pointless trade war. Canada threatens to retaliate by withholding electricity from the US. Trump’s press sec says this is fine because Jesus didn’t have electricity. Literally the dumbest possible timeline.

The Trump Administration’s just announced big tariffs on imports from Canada, China and Mexico are a big mistake. If these tariffs on well over one-third of all imported goods are quickly and fully implemented and remain in place for more than a few months, they will do

We don’t blow up boats off Miami because 25% of the time suspicion is wrong. We shouldn’t do it off Venezuela either. These are small outboards with no fentanyl and no path to Florida. We can’t just kill indiscriminately because we are not at war. It’s summary execution!
