SCOTUS probably will overturn this, but it is the correct call. apnews.com/live/donald-...
That's a wrap: 48-14 TCU, and it's official: Bill Belichick's first UNC team sucks. #TCUvsUNC

This is the sentiment on the streets. The system hasn't failed. It's working exactly the way it was built to. We need a new system not built by greedy capitalists.
You know your team's getting its ass kicked when the video shot is of a dog in the TV control room wearing headphones and clicking on the clicker. #Heels #TCUvsUNC
A plane carrying European Commission President Ursula von der Leyen was forced to land in Bulgaria using paper maps after a suspected disruption caused by Russian electronic warfare systems that jam GPS signals.

End of 3, TCU up on the #Heels 41-14. #TCUvsUNC
Americans Astronomers watching watching US politics Betelgeuse 🤝 “It could happen at any time”
Max Johnson hits his brother Jake for 6. With the kick, it's 41-14, Horned Frogs. #TCUvsUNC
Johnson finds Shipp for a first-down at the TCU 2. #TCUvsUNC
Johnson hits Green for a 39-yd completion down the sideline. He's 3/4 for 57 yards on this drive. #TCUvsUNC
Max Johnson, lost for the season with a broken leg in Game 1 last year, is in now for Lopez and completes his first pass. #TCUvsUNC
Lopez gets hit in the backfield, fumbles, and Deal executes a scoop-and-score. With the kick, it's 41-7, TCU. That said, I don't know how dangerous TCU will be in the XII. It could just be that the #Heels really, REALLY suck. #TCUvsUNC
This is what happens when you don't put fascists in prison.
Lopez, on the run, hits Culliver in the hands. He drops it and it's damn near intercepted. It's now 10:21 p.m. ET; Lopez's last completion was at 8:12 p.m. #TCUvsUNC
TCU's O-line is pushing the #Heels around like 6-year-olds as Battle runs it in to make it, with the kick, 34-7. Horned Frogs are administering a good old-fashioned ass kicking, and I suspect this would be the time to remind everyone that UNC has Belichick because a trustee meddled. #TCUvsUNC
#Heels still can't tackle, despite the Belichicks' emphasis on it. #TCUvsUNC
Murphy is an embarrassment to my alma mater.
Vaccine sceptic RFK Jr has called for the retraction of a Danish study that found no link between aluminium in vaccines and chronic diseases in children — a rare move... “Kennedy has demonstrated that he wants the scientific literature to bend to his will”, says Oransky. Scientific American
Not about this specific case exactly but I’ve long believed that the racist animus aimed at cities overwhelms a secondary motivation — people projecting their own regrets onto the city to redeem some of their choices.
She's staying in her lane. It's not her fault there are more tragedies than spokespeople.
And Kevorian Barnes opens the 2nd half with a 75-yd TD run for TCU. #Heels can't tackle. Belichick's emphasis on fundamentals needs some work. With the kick, it's 24-7, TCU. #TCUvsUNC
TCU FG is good, and it's 20-7 Horned Frogs at the half, and they'll get the ball to start Q3. #TCUvsUNC
Hoover hits Manjack to get TCU (barely) within FG range. TCU then runs out of bounds with :13 left. Completion to the 15 and then a TO with :09 left. Presumably they'll take a shot at the end zone. #TCUvsUNC
Coming soon to an erstwhile democracy near you.
#Heels' punter fumbled the snap but still got off a pretty decent kick. 17-7 TCU with 53 seconds left in the half. Heels' tackling remains bad. #TCUvsUNC
30 cases of voter fraud annually, and the GOP passes 104 voter suppression laws. 47,000 gun deaths a year, and the GOP does absolutely NOTHING.
Whatever is in the Epstein files must be pretty bad, because the President seems extremely stressed by its content. 🤔 Tomorrow morning, we push for the release of the unredacted Epstein files, and the impeachment of this criminal president. Join us.
Has any news outlet taken note of the question sweeping the internet about a narcissistic President's absence from the cameras?
And on 3rd and 4 from the 25, Gio Lopez throws a pick-6. With the PAT, it's 17-7, Horned Frogs. #TCUvsUNC
#Heels start from their 19 after three straight 3-and-outs with a run up the middle for about 4. #TCUvsUNC
Just to be clear: Any good billionaire could help me out with this right now; the Powerball just would mean I’m only accountable to myself
Dead, alive, or hiding — doesn’t matter. Release the Epstein files.
On 3rd and 4 from the 17, Caleb Cost gets a pick for the #Heels! #TCUvsUNC
Horned Frogs driving again, with a third and two from the Heels' 27. They pick it up. #TCUvsUNC
Horned Frogs force a third-straight 3-and-out for the #Heels. TCU gets the ball back at its own 31, up 10-7. #TCUvsUNC
Cat falls into the water, panics, then realizes he knows how to swim.. 😅🥰😇 #bluesky #cat #catday
Maybe this time it's different
Josh Hoover with 9 straight completions for TCU. On 3rd and 7, a throw to the end zone from the 10 is broken up. With a 32-yd FG, it's 10-7 TCU. #TCUvsUNC
End of Q1: We're tied at 7; TCU has a 1st down at the 50. #TCUvsUNC
TCU forces another #Heels punt. 7-all. #TCUvsUNC
Hoover hits Dwyer in the end zone for a 27-yd score. Dwyer just beat Allen. 7-all with 4:08 left in the 1st. #TCUvsUNC
#Heels' Marcus Allen draws a DPI. TCU on the Heels' 44. #TCUvsUNC
TCU turns around and forces a #Heels punt. They'll start from their own 40, down 7-0. #TCUvsUNC
#Heels force a punt and take over at their 35. #TCUvsUNC
From the TCU 8, touchdown RB Caleb Hood for the #Heels on a 7-play, 83-yard drive. #TCUvsUNC
#Heels QB Gio Lopez's first passing attempt is a bomb to the TCU 24, a 39-yard gain. He follows that up with a 19-yard pass for first and goal. #TCUvsUNC

Revoking an entire nationality’s visas is collective punishment and never acceptable — especially in this moment when millions of Palestinians lack equal rights, basic healthcare, and so much more at home, forcing them out of the US is unfathomably cruel. www.nytimes.com/2025/08/31/w...

If you're 60, 69.1% of all job growth since your birth occurred under Democratic administrations. If you're 45, that number is 74.7%. If you're under 28, the number is 100%. Happy Labor Day.
If you think I'm being a crass insensitive smartass about this now, wait until you see how I am if he actually does die.
Wages of unionized workers are 13% higher than their nonunion counterparts. But unions also set a higher pay standard that all workers enjoy. In high-union-density states, median household income is $12,000 higher than in low-union-density states. This is why unions are vital.
I didn’t really need more evidence that RFK Jr is nuts and delusional.
"We can't stick with your facts, they're not accurate." Seb Gorka whines about CNN while on the network. This is the biggest self-own I've seen this month. Total Meltdown.
Pushing boundaries and sidestepping norms - it's the new dance craze from the NYT! Everyone is embracing the authoritarian headline two step.
You guys see where this is going? Right?
Republican governors have sent National Guard troops to Democratic-led Washington, D.C., even though cities in their states all have higher rates of violent crime than the nation’s capital. www.nytimes.com/2025/09/01/u...
Bill in the Hill. Locked in.
When I was an Amazon driver, holidays weren’t really holidays. Nobody gets paid holidays. If the holiday falls on a day that you’re regularly scheduled, you have to make up that day to get your regular weekly hours. Would it kill the company to give everyone real paid holidays? Happy Labor Day.
As we begin a new month, my law firm is litigation 51 voting and election cases in 25 states. 6 in Arizona 6 in Georgia 4 in Florida 4 in North Carolina 8 involve redistricting
Seeing Charles Blow describe his experience writing for the NYT in similar terms to Paul Krugman really brings home how much the entire NYT is a heavily curated monoculture focused on manipulating, directing & controlling upper middle-class public culture in the US. It's why it's such a bore, too.
$7.25 per hour minimum wage for years with a legislature refusing to increase it.
The most-read story in today’s Washington Post is a 3-day-old ranked list of 5700 holidays. Today is, among many other things, National Little Black Dress Day. Fine. Celebrate if you must. But don’t click on this junk if you want newspapers to cover real news.
Netflix just gave Gavin Newsom 2 million for the redistricting fight and made a deal with Sesame Street. New episodes will air there and the backlog of old episodes will Be free to watch. Netflix picked a side. I will keep my subscription.
Larry Sabato says that crime is the Dems' Achilles heel and they need to talk about prices. The Dems can "complain" but too many hate crime and cities and don't care about democracy. I guess we have to let the police state happen while we drone on about eggs. Can't walk and chew gum apparently.
Ok but hear me out, what if we taxed the fuck out of really rich people
whatever it is I hope it’s painful
I think it's time to discuss the 25th Amendment.
The US is abundantly wealthy. EVERY person here could have health care, a roof, food, & a way to contribute that fits their capacities. The #GOP are making sure the rich get richer & the poor get poorer. Then they blame the poor for not praying hard enough - while they protect child rapists.
Release the Epstein files. It's what Trump would have wanted.
A lot of people who have published op-eds in the Times say the editors watered down what they had to say. Possibly that happened here.
Well, THAT sucks.
On #LaborDay, we recognize the workers who make so much of our everyday lives possible. And every day, we should have American workers' back by supporting their organized efforts to secure higher wages, good benefits, and safe & dignified workplaces.
Mary Shelley’s Frankenstein wasn’t just a story — it was a prophecy about hubris, recklessness, and the chaos created by people who refuse accountability.
Before Joe Biden had officially launched his campaign, I had warned that resegregation was at the core of the racial grievance of Trumpism. A month later, I would write about the solution to it, and as usual nobody heard because nobody listens to me lol
Google developer #1: "That's it. Our search engine is simple, efficient, and reliable. It's perfect. We're done." Google developer #2, presumably: "But wouldn't it be *more* perfect if the first search result was always a robot who mansplained your search results to you incorrectly?"
Pope Leo XIV met with one of the most prominent advocates for greater LGBTQ+ inclusion in the Catholic Church. The Rev. James Martin said Leo told him that he intended to continue Pope Francis’ policy of LGBTQ+ acceptance in the church and encouraged him to keep up his advocacy.
I want him to die in prison, alone and afraid, clad only in a urine-soaked diaper. Other people's urine.
Medicare for all. Paid leave. Universal childcare. Break up corporate monopolies. Take on Wall Street greed. Get big money out of politics. Support unions. Raise wages. If Dems want to win back working people, this is the agenda.
Judges only have jurisdiction over the attorneys of record, I believe. Noem was of record in one case, but otherwise they have kept their hands clean.
You know how you fix that? Start throwing the lawyers who get cute in jail for contempt.
China is going to eclipse the US based off electricity alone. They have a modern grid and have been increasingly electrifying their economy. They have massive surpluses of electricity and a lot based in renewables. The US has an aging grid and is tied to a future of burning fossil fuel for energy.
CEOs are trying to convince you that quiet quitting is worse than wage theft, while they plan on replacing you with a robot. Unions know better. Happy Labor Day Weekend.
Thou shalt not end vaccines. God will not save you from plague. The Middle Ages should’ve made that very clear.

In approximately 60 days, several major elections are going to take place across the country. I think SOMEONE at the DNC should be responsible for INFORMING all of the Dems in America how we can help our team members win. SOMEONE should be sending out links to sign up for letter writing, call &

My favorite sentence in the New York Times explainer on Mamdani and socialism.
New Mexico has issued a public health order that removes federal restrictions to COVID-19 vaccine access so that pharmacies in New Mexico can vaccinate people of all ages and risk profiles. Every state need to do this!
