Washington Redwolves would look, sound, & feel like the Washington football & NFCE brand that existed for decades, bridge the gap between old and new, be endlessly marketable to fans, players, coaches, & staff & would instantly be one of the coolest brands in the NFL @Commanders

The president has never been a good negotiator, in public or private life. He paid somebody to write a book for him, claiming he had expertise in negotiation. He has no record of successful negotiation, certainly not as president.

They're literally dumping hydrogen peroxide into the reflecting pool this morning... 😳

I, too, have decided not to build nukes in exchange for $300 billion

Don't ever "trust" any politician. It's an embarrassing thing for a political party to tell you to do so. Instead, be an engaged, questioning citizen. Support, root for, but never stop questioning.

Scott Jennings wrote this on the afternoon of January 6, 2021. Back when he was a real patriot. “This is literally an insurrection. “President Donald Trump caused this insurrection with his lies and conspiracy theories about the election process being rigged against him. It was not stolen, but this madness was fomented by the President and his top advisers over the past several months.” “Let me be clear: These rioters are not Republicans. These are not conservatives. These are not patriots bursting into the US Capitol, accosting police officers and destroying public property. “These are domestic terrorists, and they ought to be treated like any other terrorist uprising with the full force and fury of the US government.”

Summer is coming. We only get ~80 of them - if we’re lucky. Book the trip. Catch the sunset. Tell your loved ones how you feel. Stop waiting. Life is now.

The worst thing about lying about election results — “It was rigged!” — is that lots of people, in their innocence or gullibility, believe you, even if you know better and are just playing politics. Lies about elections weaken our democracy. Which I suppose is the point.

California hasn’t finished counting primary ballots days after polls closed. Slow results breed distrust and fuel election denialism. Governor Newsom blames election workers, but the real fix is policy: more funding, expanded early voting, and ending late-arriving mail ballots, writes Cato’s @stephen_richer. ow.ly/5HmS50Z9WWs

The best mosquito repellent for your patio costs $20 and runs on a wall outlet: a fan. Mosquitoes are terrible fliers with a top speed of about 1-2 miles an hour, slower than you walk, and they struggle to make headway against even a gentle breeze. Point an oscillating fan at your outdoor seating area and they'll physically struggle to get to you. It works on two levels too. A mosquito finds you by following the plume of carbon dioxide you exhale, plus the heat and scent rising off your skin. A fan scatters all of it and erases the trail that leads them in. So it knocks them out of the air and helps hide you from their senses at the same time. This isn't folk wisdom. The CDC notes that fans reduce mosquito landings, and studies have found that using a fan can substantially reduce mosquito bites. Citronella candles offer only modest protection and are generally much less effective than a fan or EPA-registered repellents. Plug in a fan, aim it at the table, and take your evening back.

Bryce Mitchell on Trump's White House UFC fight: Our government is desecrating its role in society by entertaining sports. Our government is to protect and serve the people. Our tax dollars and resources are funding this operation. The government is supposed to protect us, not entertain us.

I stood at this pool, at both monuments and saw both reflections… He’s a God damn idiot, as are the fools that support him. The “Reflection Pool” wasn’t designed by American architect Henry Bacon a hundred years ago to look like a swimming pool. It’s designed to have a darkened characteristics that has reflective qualities to reflect the monuments. That way, the Washington Monument is reflective to you when at the Lincoln Memorial, and when at the Washington Monument, the Lincoln Memorial is reflective to you. It’s designed to enhance the grandeur of monuments, create an illusion of reflection, and inclusion of expansive space of unity. He’s a tacky vulgar person that vulgarizes everything he touches. America isn’t becoming great, it’s becoming vulgar. Credit - Mathew Reed

It is legitimately a tragedy that the 250th anniversary of this country's birth will be presided over by a president who is EVERYTHING the founders warned us against -- a partisan demagogue who fundamentally loathes the separation of powers and denies election results he dislikes

RT @JessicaBRiedl: So yes, President Trump has overseen 30% of the current federal debt. And by the same stupid math, Obama had overseen 59…

Happy "Dazed & Confused" day!

“I’ve declared it’s the summer of burgers. I’m tired of pretending like there’s other things that we should be eating besides hamburgers. We as men should not be ashamed to be like, ‘Oh you’re grilling? I’ll take 3 burgers” -@BarstoolBigCat

i’m just gonna say it: some of yall aren’t qualified for self checkout. if you don’t have an internal sense of urgency and fine motor skills, leave it to the professionals cause the rest of us are trying to keep it pushin

Historically, the US has been the greatest magnet for talent on earth. Whether that continues to be the case is not inevitable.

I watched every bit of Jan. 6th, live. I had 7 or 8 different feeds up throughout. At least half were from MAGA sources. I know exactly what went down. And the reality bears no resemblance to the nonsense Trumpists are spouting now. It's appalling how dishonest these people are.
