I don't usually pay much attention to doubles, but watching Venus Williams and Leylah Fernandez is a blast.

If I had a dime for every time I’d done any or all of these…
Anyone who's owed money by Cheeto Mussolini better collect now, before his family is absolved of his debts by way of his death. Hell, he may even be dead right now...people are saying...
Trump’s “death” was another trial balloon; they want to see how we’ll react. They can’t be happy with what they saw.
Hard to tell at this point whether Suarez will be deported or pardoned and elevated to a position in the administration.
Yes.
Weekend at Donny's. He's dead.
Seems to me the flag would have been at half-staff if the picture had been taken today.
Donald Trump is dead, and JD Vance is a couchfucker.
And rainbows.
Big rally coming up Monday in Portland with Bernie, Platner, and Troy Jackson, who is running for governor.
That there is so much question as to whether Trump is *actually* alive is quite telling.
Question: Looking at the standings for League One, Portland has three fewer matches played than some teams ahead of them. Is there a balanced schedule, and will those matches be played, or is that how League One rolls?
They won't miss my money...I think the last time I was in a Cracker Barrel was 2010.
Probably not.
The Devanney era begins!
Like a hurricane. I'll buy a bunch of paper towels and throw them to MAGAs.
Today is a good day to start making plans for the day Trump dies. You don't want to be caught without enough party favors--fireworks, booze, whatnot--because you know these things will be hard to come by on the actual day it happens.
Old Soviet joke for today: A man walks into a newsstand every day, looks around, and leaves. After a long time of this, the owner says “Can I help you find something?” “I’m looking for the obituaries.” “The obituaries are in the back of the newspaper, comrade.” “Not the one I’m looking for.”
A.R. Moxon is always spot-on. A perennially great read.
It's not you, it's U.S.
Please don't let his trolling prowess fool you into believing that Gavin Newsom isn't a massive pile of shit.
Some perspective…
What I don't understand is why it's so difficult to state, for the record, that EVERY SINGLE PERSON DESERVES TO HAVE THEIR HUMAN RIGHTS PROTECTED.
I'm just grateful that we're finally going to get infrastructure week! (Checks earpiece) I've just been informed that infrastructure week has once again been postponed.
Yeah, I hope Gavin doesn't stop his trolling just because he gets wind that we're not going to vote for him.
Or, instead of that, how about "go fuck yourselves"? spectrumlocalnews.com/me/maine/pol...

You wanna know what incompetence is? Russia has had influence agents messing with the US for years and they're still doing it. Trump's had influence agents in Greenland, trying to turn them against Denmark so we can swoop in and take it. They've been found out, within months. Incompetent boobs.
100%
The formula is simple - gun control = fewer shooting deaths.
So Trump has suggested capital punishment for violent offenders in the District. I think there are a few thousand likely candidates from Jan. 6…
We live in Nazi Germany. There are armed soldiers in the streets. Authoritarians control the legislative, executive, and judiciary branches. We have secret police rooting out "others". It's not a matter of "if" or even "when". It's HOW. How do we remove them, survive this, and rebuild?
Crime IS booming in D.C., though. In the White House.
In the first place, *Trump* never gave anyone any money. It's taxpayer money. And I doubt that sick motherfucker has ever donated money to any cause other than his own. And second, and this goes without saying but I'll say it anyway, it was obviously Biden's administration that transmitted funds.
This is the most severely unhinged, propagandistic bullshit you are likely to ever hear in your life.
Gliding in for a landing
Yes, but have you ever seen Trea Turner slide into home?
I love this.

Donald Trump is not the legitimate President of the United States, and should not e treated as such.
As ever, HCR nails it. open.substack.com/pub/heatherc...
Well, to be fair, the lack of field workers is a national disaster (of his own making) so maybe he’s mobilizing them to pick crops?
Guess I should have included the sarcasm tag.
Nice job! This is why I carry a valve stem remover in my vehicle.
“Most of the homes on the compound were built by the residents. Some already have solar panels, generators for electricity, and septic and water systems.” Well, bless their hearts. That sounds like heaven on Earth.
He has a family thicket.
Yeah, he definitely has the chops to win the Nobel Peace Prize.

I know this Reign of Terror feels like forever, but I remember when this would have been grounds for removal. I guess the key is just getting the right gang of idiots on the Supreme Court, and you can do whatever you want.
Oh, my god. I'll say it again: it's unlikely I'll ever choose Newsom as my first option, but the trolling coming out of that office is unbelievably good.
When you’re having trouble with your DUI field test…
I bet he'd hate if this side-by-side went viral.
Make no mistake, the moment calls for what Gavin Newsom is doing. But there’s a reason he’s good at playing Trump’s game. He’s a lot more like Trump than many want to admit. I hope I never have to vote for him as the lesser-of-two-evils.
A rising tide lifts all boats, but if you don’t have a boat you’re probably gonna drown.
And both House seats are held by "Democrats" (though with Golden, your mileage may vary.)
A little background: I’m a high school social studies and science teacher. I vow to always teach the truth as I know it. (A little wiggle room in there, as truths can change with time and new data.)
This is brilliant and beautiful.
Melania is mad that she is being linked to Epstein. Aww, too bad.
(ht: @normornstein.bsky.social)
She's also the only child rapist in history to be moved to a minimum security camp with potential work release one week after meeting with the Deputy Attorney General.
Sen. Murray, all due respect, I have no faith in the Senate Democrats to unite against Trump's nominees.
The "disastrous 2020 census crisis": the one conducted by the first Trump administration?
Aside from my opposition to giving any warnings, this is quite good. All I'd change is the all-caps; he's been much more about bizarre and inappropriate capitalizations and quotation marks of late.
If the DC crime data is rigged, why did Kash Patel verify these statistics in the presser? It seems like this move is a bridge too far for even Patel, if you saw his facial expressions and heard what he said. He'll be fired within the week.

100% crime boss.
Things I'm convinced are true: 1.) Putin helped Trump win in 2016. 2.) The J6 'rioters' had sponsors. 3.) Epstein was murdered.** 4.) Humpty Dumpty was pushed. [ So was Ivana. ]** 5.) Trump was never shot. 6.) The 2024 election was rigged. 7.) Virginia Guiffre was murdered.** 8.) ** Trump's orders.
He's excellent. youtu.be/OjGHf7OvglM?...
I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again: violence baguettes violence.
HE'S GOING TO RUSSIA! (oh, wait...no he's not. He's going to Alaska...he just *thinks* he's going to Russia...) Did RFKj share his brainworm?
Another moment in the DC Rally than the live ones I posted earlier! If you have a moment, please help out by going to @freedcproject.bsky.social & reposting some of their posts.

Never mind the fact that I stopped using Google when AI searches and ad results became the norm, I did just go and search "Trump rape", "Trump pedophile" and "Trump rapist" on Google to help pad the stats a little.
What in the Harry Potter is this owls-as-pets thing?
This is about the least of his offenses, and that's saying something.
How about an on-ramp to holding Israel, and particularly Netanyahu, accountable?
This is about more distraction from his record as a sex offender.
Hey, Alaska, you know what to do!
Welp
Sending troops into the streets of Washington, D.C. is proof positive that Donald Trump's involvement in the Epstein Files is an existential threat to his Presidency, and, ultimately, his freedom. His sex crimes were committed as a civilian, not as President.
Why are Swiss Miss’s reposts so low? This is the cutest dog ever- he’s adorable!🥰 I need to get him an East Coaster to foster him but I can’t do that with low posts- @nycacc.bsky.social will kill him! It’s important we get him seen&fostered! Pls repost him! #WhiteHouse
No, too late for "you knock it off and we'll knock it off". Go nuclear. It has to happen. No room for honor here. They've forced your hand.
They will lose. And our country will lose because Democratic leadership has ignored the will of the people.
Well, she does have a pretty low standard for concerning behavior, it seems. Nothing that concerned *her*...
Holy fuck. Kill all the civilians, and then kill the people who are reporting on killing all the civilians.
As they say, "There's a tweet for everything."
He's just waiting for Trump to die. Or to invoke the 25th, so he can take Presidential vacations.
Trump has gone out of his way to draw parallels between himself and McKinley. Tariffs. The Gilded Age. Corruption. He's even insisted on "renaming" Alaska's Denali to Mt. McKinley. And now he's invited Putin to Alaska. Trump. McKinley. Alaska. Russia. Connections.
I trust Alaskans to do the right thing.
I hear there’s room in the Everglades for you.
You don’t say.
You know what? It’s a good day to buy a lemonade from a kid on the sidewalk.
Spot on. This is the clearest explanation I’ve seen. It ‘s relatable, and humanizes the issue in a way everyone can understand.
Make no mistake, Putin owns Trump.
Incidentally, some of the best tacos I’ve ever eaten were in Anchorage and Fairbanks.
