“[Saudis] are scary motherf-ckers to get involved with. We know they killed [Jamal] Khashoggi and have a horrible record on human rights. They execute people over there for being gay.” - Phil Mickelson. Within a day, he apologized to the Saudi Royal Family for these comments.

House Republicans get $79 per day for meals and incidentals.
Poor people get $2 per meal under SNAP.
Republicans want to cut $2 for the poor while pocketing nearly 40 times as much for their own meals.
Sound fair to you?

“Caitlin Clark is a hell of a player for sure, but I don’t take disrespect lightly,” Reese said to ESPN. “She disrespected Alexis [Morris of LSU], and South Carolina, they’re still my SEC girls, too. You’re not going to disrespect them, either.”

There’s a thin line between taunting” & the activity known as “stuntin.” Taunting is disrespectful & unsportsmanlike. Even worse, it is a VOLUNTARILY tasteless act
But, as the research of cultural anthropologist Jasiel “Young Joc” Robinson shows…
Stuntin’ is a habit.

Hold on now !!!! It was cute when Caitlin Clark did it. Y’all didn’t have any issues with it at all. So don’t be all outraged and talking about class and sportsmanship when Angel Reese does the same thing. We’re not doing double standards here

It's fascinating to watch Republicans having meltdowns over Donald Trump being indicted. Wish they showed this much passion for protecting children from gun violence.

I’ve spent a decade investigating mass shootings and how to stop them. These are the fresh cold facts: From Sandy Hook in 2012 to a Nashville school this week, many more mass shooters now use AR-15s—a weapon of war—to devastating effect. My new piece: motherjones.com/politics/202… 🧵

Hunter Biden would have to serve on the Burisma board for at least 5,000 years to earn the money Middle East governments have given to Kushner’s firm since Trump took office. Kushner of course had an official White House position, and worked on ME policy.

If prayers alone worked there wouldn’t have been a mass shooting at a school where they pray.
DO YOUR FUCKING JOB.

one of the most anti-asylum seeker policies of the Trump era. THIS IS NOT A DRILL.
