The crowd who love intergender matches SOOOO wanted Punk to retaliate and hit her. Good to WWE for sticking to their guns. This is a line that should not be crossed.

If we don't see him Tuesday or Wednesday, there will be a lot of panic going on.
You can never underestimate the short-term memory of the American public! It's why I say no polls in 2025 matter. No laws that pass in 2025 matter when it comes to the outcome of the 2026 election. The election will ultimately be decided on how the electorate feels in September and October 2026
They have truly forgotten that 1.1 million people died. In the U.S. alone. They do not believe that efforts made -- social distancing, closing businesses, etc. -- stopped us from having truly overflowing hospitals with no beds available. It is removed from their collective memories.
Anne, did the judge even go to sleep?
The longer he goes without speaking directly to reporters with cameras rolling... the intensity will pick up. If he does a Monday morning chopper talk, all this goes away. But if he stays out of the spotlight much longer, people will definitely be asking questions.
What a day!! Thank you all for the updates!
I don't doubt a Democrat can win. I don't doubt that Democrats will over-perform next November. But yeah, a 'big loss' for her will be 54-46. That would be a huge margin for a sitting U.S. senator. But I think that is certainly in play. But again, that's if the election were this Tuesday. It's not!
I am with you. He's not dead. I fully believe his social media posts are him. But he's clearly not well. If he's had a stroke and he's slurring words or something else... yeah he'll be out of the public eye. But he'll keep posting.
No way she loses by 16 points. This is why no one should believe polls anymore.
What is the right population for the planet? I have no problem if in 40 years it is down closer to 5 billion. We have to have a place for everyone to live. We have to be able to grow and produce enough food for everyone. Sustained population growth is a bad thing for the planet...
I think this would be fun! The various psychiatrists, doctors, etc., who have appeared on Raw over the years would be a blast.
I posted several times that he was going to wind up with Netflix. No, I have no inside knowledge... just knew that a CBS cancellation isn't the end of Colbert. He's too good to just "go away."
Added it to my watchlist!
Agreed. I think a lot of farm state Senators would be no votes. Yes, if the USSC upholds this ruling... it would be difficult for Trump to get it passed as a bill out of both houses.
I truly haven't thought of who Vance would appoint if he were to suddenly become president. If Trump put it in his will... Vance will follow it, though.
I think the House still could pass them but I think there might be four "no" votes in the Senate that would kill it.
This is accurate. I think this ruling might stick.
A career-killing phrase. It will be written in her obituary someday.
Is Josh Woods making a rare cameo? He is still under contract, right?
Well, it certainly ends that billion dollar lawsuit for reporting on it. Trump can still claim that "I didn't write that. That's not my artwork, that's not my signature. It's all fake." He can make that claim. We'll see who buys that.
I love that this match has been added! We haven't had nearly enough of the The Kingdom in recent months.
Why do Republicans keep insisting that non-citizens don't have the same constitutional rights as U.S. citizens? I am being serious... where did they get that idea from? Because Antonin Scalia made it clear they have the same rights while here in the U.S. Don't they still love Scalia?
I think there needs to be more of a drumbeat that calls for the release of Trump's medical files. The country should know more about the health of the president, whether they like him or not. We need a healthy president of sound mind and body.
When someone has already hit THREE home runs in that game... how do you even think about throwing it anywhere close to the strike zone?
But that is why they are so eager to deport him so they don't have a trial. Just like everyone at CECOT was sent back to Venezuela, before they got returned to the U.S.
Long overdue. This should have been filed the day they made so many allegations that were not fleshed out in the actual criminal complaint.
NEW: Kilmar Abrego Garcia is asking a federal judge for a gag order against Kristi Noem, Pam Bondi and their subordinates. w/ @joshgerstein.bsky.social www.politico.com/news/2025/08...
I think Trump is immune from a libel suit, but Bondi is not. I am no lawyer but I think that is my understanding.

A man accused of throwing a sandwich at a federal officer in D.C. has been charged with misdemeanor assault. Federal prosecutors initially sought to secure felony charges against the man, dubbed "Sandwich Guy," but a grand jury declined to return that indictment.
I am just presuming you have WI at No. 1! A 50/50 state with no incumbent. Still waiting for more major players to enter the race
I have never missed a Mania since Mania III... and I couldn't definitively tell you any main events after Mania X. It all becomes a blur on the numbering!
Many people are saying it. Many.
We all knew what the ruling from the Supreme Court meant.
I appreciate our back-and-forth today! Thank you! :)
A year ago, the GOP had a 64-35 advantage in the Assembly (what we call the House) and a 22-11 advantage in the Senate. So, they were two seats away from a super-majority that would have allowed them to override any veto. After ending the gerrymander, it is now 54-45 and 18-15 after last fall's vote
I think making a 50/50 split of Congressmen in a state that is historically 52-48 or closer is the very definition of ENDING the gerrymandering. Pocan is calling for the end of the gerrymandered system where GOP have 75% of the seats in a 50/50 state
The last time I saw Mark Pocan (the Dem who represents Madison/WI-2), he was showing how the map could be changed to include the far west Madison suburbs into WI-3. That would flip WI-3 blue without hurting a Democrat's ability to retain WI-2. Again, DVO beat R. Cooke by less than 52-48% last year
You can't stress enough how the country has changed. When I moved here in 2001, David Obey won the Northwest WI seat for years and years. He retired (didn't seek reelection) and Duffy won. That whole quadrant just turned so Red after being blue. Kind's district was the same way.
Old maps kept counties together better. The newer ones cut counties in pieces with weird lines. I am in Chippewa County. It used to all be in WI-7 (Sean Duffy's seat in the past!) I am now in WI-3. Because Chippewa County has jagged boundaries.
So... the federal maps were left largely the same as 2012 (after that census). Minor tweaks were made, but people hoped to 'end the gerrymandered maps.' WI currently has 6 GOP seats and 2 Dem seats. As we've seen in other states... it would be VERY easy to redraw maps and make it 4-4.
Just checked our paper database. He was here Aug. 11. He campaigned for State Rep. Katrina Shankland. She lost the primary to Rebecca Cooke... who went on to lose to Derrick Van Orden in WI-3 which covers western WI (Eau Claire and La Crosse). Cooke is among 3 Dem candidates this year.
Hogg campaigned here in western WI with the liberal candidate who lost a primary in August. I found him to be a fascinating interview.
Chris.... here in Wisconsin ... I can't tell you how many GOP events I covered last year where every candidate BASHED Gov. Evers for a "birthing persons" line or something to that effect. It became a rallying cry for Republicans across the state.
That's disappointing for him. He's a big body and has potential.
All of the world screamed when one journalist was killed in Saudi Arabia. We said his name, Khashoggi. There will only be whispers for the four killed today. A terrible reality of a world pretending evil isn’t happening.
Fascinating to hear that Massachusetts crowd rally for Team Canada
Nichols is correct. As I noted earlier, nothing chases a moderate teenage or early 20s male toward Republicans quicker than a liberal woman scolding them about "Toxic masculinity."
If he has a guarantee he won't serve time in prison in the U.S. and can just go straight to Costa Rica, maybe you take that deal. I have to believe a judge would order almost no prison time. Not saying it's right. It's not. But better than going to Uganda, right? Sigh.
I'll give you an example.... the backlash during COVID whenever Anthony Fauci said "Latin-X." I heard such BACKLASH from the Latino community who were just angered by it.
Where is "toxic masculinity"??? That definitely needs to be on the list. Nothing triggers independents more!
Never been in one but seriously.... what is the big deal about a new logo? I have no 'skin in the game,' as there are none near me.
"You deserve it! You deserve it!" :)
I just want a list of all the wars and pre-wars that he settled.
NOT trying to be mean... but will NWA be around long enough for anyone to have a multi-year deal? I see almost no one talking about NWA. I haven't seen an episode since about February 2024. I just couldnt' take it anymore. Brothers of Funstruction. And a roster of big, old unathletic guys...
I wasn't sure if she would go by that name or something else...
Between the Kilmar news and the Alligator Alcatraz news... this has been a good day for the rule of law.
I had convinced myself that the Lottery match at All In was going to be FILLED with returning wrestlers: Wardlow, Luchasaurus, Jack Perry, Jay White, Eddie Kingston, Keith Lee. Obviously, we now know some aren't ready, but it's what I had in mind...
Nine years ago? Wow...
I thought they wanted fans to tune in? Why threaten us with this awful news?????
Ha! I already had that person blocked.
I knew where a half-dozen Toys R Us stores were in the Twin Cities and would visit one whenever nearby.

In today's least-shocking news that we all knew before, Fox staff and producers all along the election wasn't stolen in 2020 and lied for ratings. www.mediaite.com/media/tv/fac...
Fox News hosts saying Gavin Newsom’s tweets are childish and unbecoming of the governor of the state of California shows that you can lead a horse to water but the joke will still go over their heads.
Hill: Trump asserted in his Fox interview there were no countries in the world that allow mail-in voting. Well, Russia allows mail-in voting.
I want to congratulate leading Democrats’ for their insistence on saying the takeover of DC is a “stunt” or a “distraction.” It’s a rare trifecta of intellectual failure, political stupidity, and moral obtuseness.
I agree with this. Epstein is now the distraction to the other serious things going on.
Everyone gets to go? That's awesome, Ian!
@slotkin.senate.gov Thanks for coming to Eau Claire today! It was great getting to chat with you!
As good as the Page-Moxley match was... and it's importance and the storylines behind it.... if I'm rewatching one match from that weekend, it's probably Takeshtia-Bandido.
What do you mean by "arguably?" If she walked into the Oval Office today and demanded Rubio be fired... Trump would be tweeting out his "wishing Rubio best of luck in his future endeavors" in minutes.
I did watch the entire show. Hassan is so great in interviewing but I will give Mulvaney credit for "walking into the lion's den" and trying to defend his positions.
This didn't age well.
Just saw an ad for Morning Joe. Is that still on? MSNBC didn't have the good sense to cancel them?
That was exactly my reaction last night! I was telling my running partner this morning how it had movie-quality special effects. I hope to get to watch episode 2 later today.
That's an interesting message you are sending to potential tourists: "Don't come if you are afraid!"
100% agreed with you this isn't about crime in DC. But it remains true that DC is a scary place for tourists to visit.
I am well aware crime is at a low point. But it's still a scary city for tourists.
This is hard to dispute.
Worse than Anime... she was just a dork. One of the worst booked WWE/NXT wrestlers I've ever seen, actually.
Do they ever say who exactly is panicked? Because from what I hear, it's new accounts with almost no followers. Are they just Russian bots?
"De plane! De plane!"
I also support banning chemtrails, just like I support banning Jewish space lasers. I also support banning weather manipulation that drops the temperature in Iowa during the caucus. Let's create a lot of these laws! :)
Whatever happened to those guys???
Florida, unlike the federal government, can be sued for civil rights violations and punished with monetary damages.
I actually DID miss this... just seeing it now... so thanks for this!
Here’s a 🔥🔥exchange between me and Mick Mulvaney during @mehdirhasan.bsky.social's brilliant interview of Mulvaney on Al Jazeera's Head to Head. The whole episode is worth a watch, and you can find it on @aljazeera.com's YouTube channel.
That is pretty funny.
Firing the head of the Bureau of Labor Statistics over a bad jobs report undermines government integrity and sends a chilling message to federal employees: tell POTUS what he wants to hear or else. www.nytimes.com/live/2025/07...
How do these 'trade discussions' even begin????
Sounds like Wisconsin. The liberal state Supreme Candidate won this spring with well north of 50% of the vote. Republicans control 75% of the U.S. House seats.
Republicans have voted to confirm Trump’s personal lawyer Emil Bove as a federal judge for life. Bove reportedly said courts should be told “fuck you” and ignored if they rule against Trump.
We need to stop charging criminals in federal courts. State courts need to be sentencing crooks so they can't get pardoned because they said something nice about Trump once.
And if I said that Andy Beshear has the easiest path to 270 electoral votes among the likely Democratic candidates, would you argue with that? Dems nominating AOC will make JD Vance a very happy man.
I am confused by this! Why would Americans need rebate checks if foreign governments are paying for the tariffs, making us all richer here in the U.S.? :)
Pete, you forgot orange juice. A carton (just under a half gallon in size) jumped seemingly overnight from $3.88 to $4.47. That's more than 10%... all at once.
