If things were more affordable so more people felt like they could have their first kid closer to 30, you may see more families with 2-3 kids

Yes this. I think a lot of people want to have kids but don’t feel financially stable enough to do so until they’re ~35, and then just the reality of time and biology mean you’re probably only having 1-2.
6. This isn’t 2022-23, the O-line isn’t good enough to shut down the pass game and go full road grader mode. Seemed like they tried that on a couple drives last night and the offense bogged down
Michigan Week 1 takeaways: 1. Bryce Underwood might be that dude 2. Defense looked mostly good, but needs to clean up some sloppiness 3. Justice Haynes is a dude 4. Stop trying to return kickoffs please 5. Bryce Underwood perfectly executed two-minute drill 🤩
It says something about something that the coolest, calmest, smoothest two-minute drill in years was orchestrated by a guy who has been able to legally buy fireworks for like two weeks.
OK BRYCE, FIRST TWO MINUTE DRILL
*having an influence
Rooming with Max Bredeson clearly rubbing off on him!
So Underwood’s arm has pop 😳😳
Someone should ask Dinesh why he doesn’t honor Benedict Arnold. Same logic applies, right? Must have been a good general, that’s why George Washington wanted him, but he chose King and Country. Does he get a statue too?
I mean, Harris voters are the only ones in this chart whose opponents are fascists, so yeah makes sense

hey hey rfk how many kids did you kill today
What if I told you that libs also fall in love and get married?
do not give into thoughts like “nothing matters”, it’s not true. everything matters as long as we are all alive
🚨Border Patrol arrested two firefighters who were actively fighting a wildfire at the time. When the other members of the crew asked for a chance to say goodbye, a Border Patrol agent told the crew member “you need to get the f*ck out of here. I’m going to make you leave.”
Feels like there’ll be a game that they’re competitive in, but Bryce has a freshman moment or two at bad times and they lose. Oklahoma week 2, his first time facing a real college defense, seems as likely a time as anyone for that to happen
The best part of this photo — which is a good example of how photographers make art — is the slogan “American workers first” on the banner observed by troops who’ve been forced to pick up trash and do landscaping because the president on the banner illegally fired the American workers who did that.
The Lord has brought a friendship bracelet of salvation down into the rock concert that is your life. And he talked about it on the greatest podcast of all time, the Holy Bible! Are you going to accept His offer?
This quote belongs on page one of every legal brief filed against this administration.
I’m betting Taylor really fell in love with Travis after hearing the “why didn’t Jason bring jeans for Jason?” clip
He’s Jeff Winger in the episode of Community where Jeff’s ego expands until he goes completely insane and destroys some kid’s party
I cannot type the words I actually want to say, so for now I’ll just hope these people are haunted forever.
The hell? Pathetic, @umich
To Donald Trump and his administration: If you hurt my people, nothing will stop me — not time or political circumstance — from making sure you face justice under our constitutional rule of law.
Feels like every few weeks, SCOTUS gives Trump what he’s asking for and wags their finger at him not to come back for more. Then he comes back for more, and they do the same thing. Every time
“This is about the President of the United States and his complicit lackey, Stephen Miller, searching for ways to lay the groundwork to circumvent our democracy, militarize our cities, and end elections.” – Gov. J.B. Pritzker
this is exactly right. it's the same stupid bet every republican has made since 2015.
Not sure I see a world where Bryce accounts for 30 touchdowns and Michigan only wins 8 games. I suppose if he also accounts for 15+ turnovers…
Let’s be clear about what is happening: This man is being punished — and disappeared — because he embarrassed our pretender king. They trumped up a criminal case against him because he was embarrassing.
Earlier this morning Kilmar Abrego Garcia was detained yet again, as part of the Trump admin’s plan to deport him to Uganda as punishment for not pleading guilty to the criminal charges they brought to avoid having to follow a court order to bring him back to the United States.
Maybe Kyle Tucker is fixed?
This is what Trump and his goons are doing to lawful permanent residents, include this mom who has done nothing wrong. This administration is vile
In what universe is this the tradeoff? We all tell mister Trump what a great job he’s doing so that hopefully he won’t suspend the constitution and declare himself dictator? Then we all discreetly vote against him after praising him for a year, and he what, just takes it in stride?
I’m anti-woke, and by that I mean excessive celebration shouldn’t be a penalty, with very limited exceptions for when the celebration pantomimes something like gun violence
The problem is there’s an entire right wing media ecosystem that’s very effective at mainstreaming Republican talking points. Dems have nothing comparable
Becoming increasingly Stancil-pilled and blaming the Dems’ failure mostly on the media environment. I think Dem politicians are on the whole more or less as effective as Republican politicians on an individual level. 1/
Feels mildly transgressive that Jalon Daniels started his postgame interview by thanking the fans rather than thanking God. No idea if that was intentional but I’m here for it
"HPD Detective Kyle Stringer noted that real officers do not wear ski masks" Okay well someone should tell that to lots and lots of the current Real Officers
JUST IN: Kilmar Abrego Garcia’s lawyers say the Trump administration is trying to coerce him to plead guilty to the charges he is facing by promising to deport him to Costa Rica — and threatening to deport him to Uganda if he doesn’t. storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.us...
Maxwell believes that Donald Trump and Jeffrey Epstein behave equally appropriately around teenage girls
I sound insane when I say this but I truly believe a big part of the Trump admin’s approach to energy policy is driven by gender anxiety. They think coal and oil are manly and renewables are effeminate.
the era of small government is over and we can either have armed thugs with badges disappearing people or universal health care and high speed rail
Exactly right. ICE routinely brings people back after mistakes. Even still, today! But with him, it was the CECOT deportation flights. It was their defiance of Judge Boasberg. And when his removal threatened to blow up their narrative, they turned the full weight of the federal government on him.
Sports fans have been complaining about this forever, far right scolds are just late to the party and annoyingly now trying to turn it into their own dumb thing
The old Cracker Barrel logo is obviously better, but the problem isn’t “wokeness” or whatever, it’s the same bland corporatization of the logo that a thousand companies have done in the last decade. It’s why every sports team’s logo was better in the 90s
May this portion of the dissent by Ketanji Brown Jackson haunt John Roberts forever and be the final word on his tenure as Chief Justice.
Post a non-religious photo (gif) you think is holy
Very well-put!
Yes, imagine if the President spent all his time posting like a lunatic, what a laughingstock we would be
2025 Confederacy.
Really, because I went by my local MAGA watering hole and all the big, burly, bearded guys were whispering about how dangerous and stupid Donald Trump seems to be
Yeah I don’t think they believe running loan forgiveness well is part of their job. They see their job as breaking these basic programs, then campaigning on how the programs are so broken we just need to eliminate them
Susan Collins was accidentally right about Trump when she said after impeachment 1 “I think he’s learned his lesson.” The lesson: people said I can’t, but I didn’t face real consequences, and Republicans like Collins cover for me. She meant the opposite lesson. But the learning mechanism is right.
Why does she have the same signature as her husband?
Republicans governors are going to start doing this in their own states next. It’s illegal for Trump to do it (doesn’t mean he won’t) but the governor of Ohio will send the National Guard to Cleveland, the governor of Missouri will send troops to Kansas City and St. Louis, and on and on.
The White House is mobilizing red state military forces to occupy a Democratic stronghold and let me tell you: No one has ever pretended something isn't happening harder than Democratic leaders are pretending this isn't happening right now.

Feels like there’s a type of person prevalent in establishment media circles who believes that if crime exists, then almost literally anything is justified to stop it
everyone is being unfair to mister trump. he finally found a new best friend after his previous best friend died in prison under mysterious circumstances a few years ago. he’s moving on and i for one am happy for him.
Almost like Kamala Harris was spot on when she said this guy was a clown
Putin, to Trump:
If any Democratic President had done this, Fox News literally wouldn’t stop complaining about it for a decade and it would be a core talking point in the next Republican primary
The fact that CBP was dispatched to menace a press conference by the duly elected governor of California should really put to bed any argument about whether these federal deployments are a response to crime rates. As if it weren't already obvious what this is about.
MASKED BORDER PATROL AGENTS SHOW UP AT NEWSOM PRESS CONFERENCE Showing up in uniform to intimidate a democratically elected governor… This should get wall-to-wall coverage but it won’t.
This kind of response will do more than most constitutional litigation to make this stuff less harmful and indeed less likely to happen at all
Trump’s nominee to replace the Bureau of Labor Statistics Commissioner he fired pictured at January 6th, amazing scoop by @ryanjreilly.com www.nbcnews.com/politics/jus...
Definitely did not realize how funny Taylor Swift is!
Been seeing a bunch of stuff on my timeline about Taylor Swift today. Has Bluesky ever thought to collaborate with her somehow?
Slightly diminish a band: Bending Benjamin
Well done, folks. This is the inevitable world that all the assholes just asking questions were leading us to. Hope you're proud of yourselves.
Tomorrow, the President is going to order the national guard to militarize the nation's capital (despite crime being at a 30 year low) after sending Congress home to prevent them from investigating evidence he committed sex crimes against children. The Congressional GOP is unified behind him. 🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸
Absolutely infuriating team
The Joe Milton Experience™️
We've become so accustomed to lawbreaking that this probably won't ripple much, but it is important not to forget that firing the IRS Commissioner for refusing to break the law--if that's in fact what happened here--would and should prompt immediate articles of impeachment in any other presidency.
🚨This case shows how the Trump admin is stripping due process from people. This woman had been complying with EVERYTHING the government asked her to do. She had a pending asylum hearing. But Trump's ICE, to hit quotas, detained her and illegally tried to strip her of the right to that hearing.
Nothing— and I mean nothing— about this decision is more than the bare desire to harm.
You can’t even meet at the vice president’s house to make a plan about how to handle the president’s involvement with a notorious child sex trafficking ring anymore, because of woke www.cnn.com/2025/08/06/p...
remember that time bill clinton said hello to loretta lynch at an airport?
You, a simpleton: election rules matter, and Republicans are trying to tilt the playing field in their favor. Me, streets ahead: ah, but have you tried simply persuading ALL the voters? Then no unfavorable rules could hurt you!
If you're angry about Republican gerrymandering, you should ask your representatives if they support, after new referendums, admitting DC and the territories as states — giving them democratic representation and Democrats both additional House seats and new Senators.
people struggle with a rich guy who’s really this dumb and malicious but you can’t square his beliefs without that. people want it to be a game in service of something else but he’s just a dumb asshole who’s never faced a real consequence and he believes he’s right because it’s ordained by god.
The guy who has been anti-vax for two decades without any scientific evidence to back it up, promised to Congress that he wasn’t anti-vax, got confirmed, and then immediately started doing anti-vax things
Is the Pope the Joe Rogan of the Left?
I think a lot of this comes down to law reviews being the only major academic publications where students decide what gets published. Pieces end up getting selected based on number of cites and more "lit review" qualities, rather than originality, clarity, or quality of scholarship.
My Democratic colleagues and I just left the state of Texas to break quorum and stop Trump’s redistricting power grab. Trump is trying to rig the midterm elections right before our eyes. But first he’ll have to come through us. It’s time to fight back.
Woah, what was that between Lyles and Bednarek??
And Dalilah Muhammad finishing her career as US champion in the 400 hurdles!
Great stories from the USA track & field finals already today, Sage Hurta-Klecker moving from perennial finalist to first national team, and the return of Donovan Brazier!

Okay, *now you can start to worry about data being manipulated.
Has Collins tanked a single bill or nominee this year? She’s voted no on a couple things, but seems like only when those things are going to pass regardless
“The president cut your health care so he could build himself a golden ballroom” is a pretty easy message to sell
They got everything the kind of needed, but not the one thing they really needed
