If you don’t think some asshole softball dad will humiliate a cisgender girl for hitting an oppo bomb off their daughter by challenging their gender you have never met a youth sports parent in your life.

This used to be called price fixing and used to be very illegal.

Nehls on how House GOP will make case for affordability back home: Nehls: What are you talking about? I'm gonna get me lobster tails. Some nice rib eyes. Reporter: Do you think the 60% of Americans living paycheck to paycheck can afford that? Nehls: Maybe not. Maybe they don't work as hard as me.

Reminder to Colorado journalists: if you’re interviewing a winning candidate who usually claims that elections are rigged, ask them why this election was rigged in their favor.

Ten years ago I voted to create "America 250." But here's the truth: Trump started "Freedom 250" to replace it, and made it about himself. Trump’s newest stunt? Trying to convince us there’s a big crowd for Freedom 250. But our eyes don't lie.

This is a really really weird way to be thinking about people I'm sorry
A segment from an opinion podcast featured by the NYT by Ross Douthat interviewing Louise Perry. The segment says: "But I think, at least as importantly, it was also a material revolution, because of the pill. The distinctive thing about the pill compared with other contraception is that women can control it themselves and it’s invisible. You can be walking around temporarily sterile, and in that sense, a different creature from someone who is fertile."

When we win, the first bill I’m filing is a comprehensive anti-corruption package: Overturn Citizens United Ban corporate PACs and super PACs Ban members of Congress from trading stocks Once we defeat the most corrupt politician in America, we can defeat this entire corrupt system.

It should be a no-brainer:  No stock trading for members of Congress, the vice president, or the president. No billionaires buying elections through super PACs. The government should work for the American people—not wealthy donors and corporate interests.

Post your voting hot takes I’ll start: Actually it’s fine for tabulation to take a week or more in a huge state doing a lot of elections. The demand for instantly known results is impatience, immaturity, a recent deviation taught by American Idol or whatever. You can wait. We can wait. Let em count

I think y'all are wasting your time trying to explain the vote counting process to Spencer Pratt fanboys. They don't care how the votes are counted. They don't really think the election was stolen. They're whiny ass sore losers who didn't get their way. You should tell them that.

Watch Trump’s attempts to cast doubt on the results of the California elections closely. This is probably just a test run for some of the interference he’s going to attempt in our midterms. We cannot let him get away with it.

It's nice of that the war that stopped Donald Trump from going to his eldest son's wedding agreed to stop long enough to allow him to go to a basketball game. Wars aren't always that thoughtful.

If Cankles shows up at MSG to watch game three of the NBA Championship series I desperately hope the whole place erupts with a sustained chant of "JEFFREY EPSTEIN, JEFFREY EPSTEIN" over and over until Cankles flees.

Donald Trump has done a lot of terrible things to this country over the last decade. But here’s what I think is most insidious of all: Trump has taught Americans that cruelty is strength, that resentment is identity, and that hating other people somehow makes you superior.

Fund anybody that Donald Trump wants? This is corruption with capital letters and flashing lights and fireworks going off.
