Really lovely Good Reads review today. So grateful.
Well said.
JFK feeling the same way about RFK Jr as the rest of us.
I'm still trying to fully grasp the arresting of fire fighters ... as they fought a fire.
Is Trump, like, gone? www.thebulwark.com/p/trump-disa...
There are people in public life clearly and accurately stating the danger to America at this bizarre moment. Those people need support from every Conservative and Liberal American who find our Constitution worth preserving.

0% surprising.
This Kalen DeBoer thing not going the best
Haven't heard from Trump today? Did that ghoulish hand fall off?
Joe Biden’s no longer president so the media has moved on from caring about such things Much like inflation and budget deficits
He's always been this way. Broken, Heartless, Cruel.
ME CAGON MI PUTA VIDA, QUE JEFF PEARLMAN HA SACADO UN NUEVO LIBRO Y ENCIMA VA SOBRE TUPAC!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Only God Can Judge Me: The Many Lives of Tupac Shakur www.amazon.com/-/es/Only-Go...
thanks!
Important to remember as we fight this hellscape: Most strongmen roll because they're initially very popular. Trump is not. At all. It's our strength.

He literally mispronounces Nobel.
Moore: "The thing that gets me most about this is how deeply disrespectful this is to members of the National Guard who signed up for this job as I did when I deployed overseas & led paratroopers in combat where we signed up w/the expectation the commander in chief was actually taking it seriously"
I interviewed 652 people for my upcoming Tupac book. My favorite single quote might have come from a high school classmate who said, poetically: "He was the type of guy who would pick up a ladybug and put it to the side."
He expected to have three years of insanely hard work at least properly cited, not just lifted.
SCOTUS thought they could ride the tiger and get what they wanted ideologically. In exchange, they would give him everything he wanted except the Fed. Just leave the Fed alone and you can ignore all federal law. But it ended the same way it has for everyone who tried to ride the tiger since 2016.
Also, like, the fucking cruelty of sending him to Uganda. Just an extra dash of spice to be as cruel as humanly possible.
youtu.be/L3bemHTGxRg?... Remember this? “….Donald Trump will walk into the office with an enemies list…”
They are the biggest fucking band of racists I've ever seen.
I'm starting to think about promoting the Tupac book, which drops Oct. 21. Any ideas/suggestions/etc for podcasts, shows, websites hugely appreciated, as always. Thanks.
I recommend Press Box Chronicles with @jeffpearlman.bsky.social. It’s great to hear the behind the scenes on a range of sports topics. deadline.com/2025/08/pres...

One thing I'm waiting for Trump supporters to notice: Shit is INSANELY expensive right now. I-n-s-a-n-e-l-y.

Wes Moore confirms that he's considering retaliating against Republican gerrymandering by redrawing the maps in Maryland to eliminate the state's one Republican seat
Schiff: "It was interesting to me when you asked JD Vance, 'If your agenda is so popular, why are you trying to gerrymander Texas?' and he didn't try to defend the president's agenda. The president is deeply unpopular. His agenda is unpopular."
Funny how every Republican who talks about venerating our history has such a terrible grasp of history.
Two cheaters kissing ass.
New Truth OC post about an Orange County fair and GOP idiocy. www.thetruthoc.com/p/the-fair?f...
I wish I had confidence. I could deal with Trump better if the Democratic Party showed ANY semblance of a plan, a united message. Any-fucking-thing.
New Truth OC post about @governor.ca.gov @schumer.senate.gov, modern politics and the great fighter, Micky Ward. www.thetruthoc.com/p/gavin-news...
thanks!
Don 't worry. Chuck Schumer is on it. Oh. Wait. Update: He's napping.
Chairman Mao touts his state-run economy
The "president" is out of his mind.
Jeff, brave enough to talk about why he hates "Moneyball". But two things stuck out to me. 1.) The Brian Johnson quote is brilliant. 2.) I'm glad Jeff gives Art Howe the defense he deserves.
Also, how about some fucking empathy for these "crazy" people—many of whom are veterans, or/and suffer from severe mental illness. What a dick.
Starred review from Kirkus for "Only God Can Judge Me: The Many Lives of Tupac Shakur." www.amazon.com/Only-God-Can...
Judge Frank Caprio, who enjoyed a wide following on social media due to his kind approach in his Rhode Island courtroom, has died. His approach earned him Emmy nominations and a nickname as the "Nicest Judge in the World." Caprio was 88 years old.

Jeff Pearlman discussing (mostly) Moneyball (film not book): www.youtube.com/watch?v=xFkM...
The president lies like an AI chat bot. Literally just hallucinates things that never ever happened and everyone just nods along
it’s hilarious that the second trump admin is just going to be one indignity after another for her
It sounds conspiratorial to suggest that Vladimir Putin told Donald Trump behind closed doors to launch an assault on mail-in voting in elections administered by the states, and Trump immediately set about mobilizing federal power to do it… but that is literally Trump’s account of what happened.
I mean, I know of no one who wants MS now. Or ever.
Let's just state the obvious: It's a Blue Hen world. The rest of y'all are just bystanders.
@briantedjones.bsky.social You're joking?
He lies and lies and lies. Nonstop. Just lies.
New in PN: Gavin Newsom's moment "Newsom and other Dems joining this battle are right to fight. And by fighting, they are demonstrating just how weak Trump is. When you bend the knee, MAGA looks invincible. As soon as you stand up, though, the orange god starts to look like a fetid bag of wind."

OMG. This is actually quite telling.
The CA-40th congressional race went from highly competitive to a Republican lock. Here's the saga. www.thetruthoc.com/p/well-so-mu...
I would literally pay good money for a reporter to quote this and ask Leavitt on Monday how Vladimir Putin knew the "real" unreported 2020 numbers well enough to tell Trump he won by so much.
Hard to tell which happened: 1) Putin didn't say this, he wouldn't make the embarrassing error of "no country has mail-in voting" when many countries like Germany and UK allow it for all voters. 2) Putin really did tell Trump this knowing Trump would repeat it and humiliate the U.S. even more. 🤷♂️
It’s unbelievable we are being asked to believe this outrageous bullshit.
Trump has regained the weight. And I'm here for it.
what an image
Remember the old days when kids just worried about school shootings? Now they have to worry about being deported, too. www.nytimes.com/2025/08/14/u...
As we head towards Trump’s Fascist takeover, here's something to give you hope. (The bar is very low) 1. Trump and MAGA are deeply reckless and aligned with incompetent assholes. 2. USA is a big country 3. The majority hate Trump. 4. Epstein and the Economy 5. We have a history of revolution
Greg Bovino is such a little bitch.
While I have plenty of beef with other stuff Newsom has done, this is exactly what we need right now
i’m a believer in something @therickwilson.bsky.social said recently, which was basically “if they take 5 seats of ours, we take 10 of theirs.” there needs to be pain when they pull this shit.
Mayor Bass reacts to Bovino's raid outside Gov Newsom's Press Conference in Little Tokyo 8/14
🧵Here we go. Newsom has called for a special election in November. The redistricting fight is no longer just words, and another huge FU to Trump and Republicans. Risky, maybe, but don't think that Newsom can't pull it off. This is why....
Setting aside the self-evident, unconstitutional fascism of a domestic military occupation, I'm just wondering what the goal here is. What does he actually want the military to do? Improve already low urban crime rates? Prevent protests? Kill undesirable people? What's the objective?
New in PN: The slide toward "competitive authoritarianism" "Orbán subverted Hungary’s democracy with gerrymandering and by creating a nationwide right-wing media network. He put loyalists in the public prosecutor’s office, ensuring the judicial system would go after his enemies. Sound familiar?"
As a xenophobic nutjob spewed hate at a local school board meeting, the board president said ... nothing. Silence is telling. www.thetruthoc.com/p/lisa-davis...
Can @schumer.senate.gov please hand the reigns over to someone else? Anyone else? Please.
Had enough yet America or are you still paralyzed and satisfied to have your reps send strongly worded letters or say nothing? The world is watching in disbelief and waiting to see if American democracy will survive this assault on its people and constitution. Do something before it’s too late.
Never gets old.

Gov. Gavin Newsom’s Press Office just dropped another one 🔥
california’s population is larger than at least a dozen red states *combined* so if we’re playing the “we deserve more representation” game give us our 500 senators
no more educational material for your children. just poisonous right wing slop.
American democracy is dead, this is just a zombie stumbling downhill, carried by momentum.
When you're someone who enjoys 0 pleasure in smelling a rose or seeing a butterfly, you do shit like this.

Trump will only address if it gets him a Nobel Prize.
South Park: More of dog murderer Kristi Noem.
Think about the first several sentences of The Gettysburg Address. It sounds very much like today, doesn't it? We are involved in a great civil war testing whether American democracy will survive or whether kings and aristocracy will take it away. We must choose wisely.
Fucking A, man. Just give him the award so everyone can shut up.
