“I think it’s going to be the best (recruiting) class Cal has had in a very, very long time.” On Cal’s recruiting, Tosh Lupoi and why we’ll likely hear more from the Golden Bears on the talent acquisition front than casual CFB followers might realize nytimes.com/athletic/7325721…

Today i apologized to my manager for having to take numerous phone calls from Lebanon because of the bombings and she said “omg who’s bombing them?” This is the reality of living in the US. This is the ignorance of the American people

"Trump, the Mar-a-Lago golfer, is the only bull in the world who walks around with his own china shop. When a clown takes over the Palace, he doesn't become King. It's the Palace that becomes a circus" French senator Claude Malhuret once again nails it. You won't hear a better indictment of Trump and his Gulf war than this. Well worth 5 minutes of your time My English s/t 👇

Marco Rubio in 2016: For years to come, there are many people on the right...that are going to be having to explain and justify how they fell into this trap of supporting Donald Trump because this is not going to end well.” (2016)

.@JamesTalarico: Are you aware that this bill removes the writings of Frederick Douglass? Republican: I am Talarico: Are you aware that this bill removes the writings of Dr. Martin Luther King Jr.? Republican: Yes Talarico: Yet this bill still includes the writings of Alexis de Tocqueville, and he's not even an American. Could that be because he's a white man? Republican: N-not exactly…

New Cal coach Tosh Lupoi told me he canceled all events after Friday's introductory news conference, bought a plane ticket to Honolulu (commercial), met with JKS/family from 12:30-2:30 a.m. local time and is now headed back. "Whatever it takes!" he said. espn.com/college-football/st…

He accidentally posted a DM to his Attorney General on Truth Social complaining that not being able to prosecute his enemies over imaginary charges is making him look bad. I didn’t think the rise of fascism would be this dumb.

It’s almost like the endless narrative that democrats are all about open borders is a big lie. 🤔

Is this normal in your countries? A president that continues to lie even if he has been corrected a hundred times on these numbers. In Denmark, people dont like being told lies. Voters punish it. Why do Americans accept and vote for it? I dont get it.

That time @marcorubio explained how USA, Russia & the UK promised Ukraine to provide for their defense forever if they gave up the huge stockpile of nuclear weapons left in the country after the Soviet Union fell. Good times.

Zelensky has thanked Trump, Congress, and the American people many times. But let's be clear: when Trump and Vance said that THEY are trying to help Ukraine right now, and need to be thanked for the work personally, there are reasons to wonder. 1/ THREAD

Here is a recap of the Ukraine situation, for those choosing to reject propaganda and continue seeking truth: December 1994, Ukraine agrees to give up its nuclear arsenal in return for security guarantees from the US, UK, France, China and Russia. February 2014, Russia invades and subsequently annexes Crimea, President Obama does next to nothing. War through weakness. July 2019, Trump admin withholds $250 million in military aid to Ukraine to apply pressure to investigate alleged corruption by Hunter and Joe Biden. February 2022, Russia invades a weakened Ukraine, world expects Zelenskyy to flee and Kyiv to fall within days. Ukrainians fight bravely for 3 years, inflict hundreds of thousands of casualties on Russian army, weaken Putin politically. U.S. has sent ~$70 billion in outdated military equipment to Ukraine since start of war, providing opportunity for U.S. military to modernize its weaponry. We’ve sent an additional $30 billion in budget support, $75 billion in ancillary appropriations related to war. ~50,000 Ukrainians have died defending their homeland, protecting U.S. and Western interests in the process. Meanwhile, the U.S. President and V.P. are calling democratically-elected Zelenskyy a dictator and berating him in Oval Office in pursuit of a financial payoff. The U.S. should be thanking Ukrainians, who have fought for our common interests with only modest financial support from a country with a ~$30 trillion GDP. America can and will reclaim its backbone again soon, with better policy and messaging from common sense moderates. Slava Ukraina.

A truly embarrassing moment for our country. I know the vast majority of my Republican colleagues agree with me. They're too scared to say it themselves.
