Contract officers everywhere just groaned. Beyond the absurdity of it, the UFC isn’t the only professional MMA organization. I think the other leagues will take exception to a sole source contract, to put it politely. Plus, the skills mentioned hardly require training from a pro fighting league.

The campaign of educational censorship sweeping Texas and other GOP-governed states in the name of “free speech” and “diversity of viewpoint” in many ways exceeds the worst of the McCarthy Era (gift link obvs) www.theatlantic.com/ideas/2026/1...

Actually, the only son is admitting guilt. Being caught just means you have to double down on the fraud by denying it.

And now the best part: Bot traffic from the #Yandex network has plunged to near zero following the strike on its Vladimir data center. Bot traffic includes automated requests from search crawlers, scrapers and other online services. Twitter must be a ghost town by now.

Wow — listen to these new comments from Trump. Thanking Putin, trashing Zelenskyy, characterizing Russia as eager for peace and Ukraine as intransigent. The mask is totally off.

Trump is openly siding with Putin, blaming Ukraine's self-defense rather than Russia's aggression for the war, and telling Ukraine to surrender. Worth calling it out every time. But hardly new. Ambushing Zelensky in DC, aping Russian propaganda, and insisting it's Ukraine's fault was March 2025.

Trump’s handling of Ukraine proves Russian propaganda is working

As Carl von Clausewitz wrote in the 19th century, “the aggressor is always peace-loving. ... He would prefer to take over our country unopposed.”

To be fair, I assume you’re not a narcissist, selfish, sociopathic, draft-dodging scumbag so what do you know about it, Nicholas?

It’s funny. For someone who has as their claim to fame being on a show called The Real World, she doesn’t seem to know much about how the real world operates.

Professional journalism at its finest! Walter Cronkite be rolling over in his damn grave to think this is what followed him.

*Trump has no actual policies, per se, unless spastic decisions are a form of political policy

A fool and his money, something, something. I know I should & do find pleasure and satisfaction in Trump’s policies* hitting home with those who voted for him, but I’m just amazed at the level of either ignorance or disengagement that leads to someone voting for Trump as a way to make things better

I feel a moral obligation to stick my foot where the Sun doesn’t shine on him.

You have to give him credit in being unmatched at defying physics.

He thinks he’s paying Black people a compliment.

Yeah, but is he voting Republican with tears in his eyes as he says to Trump “thank you, Sir.”

Unlike simply walking around, this represents an illegal order. They ought to be informed that they’re violating the law.

Trump announces that the U.S. will buy Russian oil. This is just a few weeks after Trump signed the Lindsey Graham Russia Sanctions bill, which authorized him to place 100% tariffs on countries that are the biggest importers of Russian oil/gas. Are we going to tariff ourselves now?

It amazes me how the aides of Trump and Johnson keep them selectively uniformed and neither one of them ever complains about it.

Probably. They’ll Bartman him. For the discussion, I hate, HATE! having to defend a Yankees fan (I just threw up), but that’s not on the fan. If they don’t want fans instinctively reaching for a ball and influencing the outcome, don’t put them where they can do it.

Not a good look for someone with such a thin skin to be easily outrun by a woman, of all things. His ego is going to need a lot of massaging.
