Imagine how luck Schmitt is that he doesn’t represent a state that has the Jets, Mets and Nets. He’d never figure out who was doing what.

Gobsmacked by the elite levels of not knowing ball in the Senate today, thinking an NBA team is called the Hawkeyes then, refusing to Google it, then accusing a guy of treason because you didn’t know the Iowa Lady Hawkeyes aren’t in the NBA. Somehow I don’t trust these people to Save Girls Sports.

There is no "Democratic Party division." There is Ryan Grim, Matt Stoller, and a bunch of apologist dead-enders trying to undermine Jackson for the crime of having decided that Platner was not fit to be the nominee. The Democratic Party is united behind Troy Jackson.

I feel extremely angry that the morally bankrupt likes of Jamie Bryson and Carla Lockhart think they have the right to force a fraternal group down a road they don’t come from, aren’t wanted in, and have a long history of terrorizing. What an advertisement for their rotten, broken union.

For people of my age (old) and my background (CNR) who grew up in NI during the 90s, Drumcree was the nadir of community relation & differences in our perceptions of ‘rights’. We just could not conceive how a group of snarling, angry men thought their ‘right to march’ surpassed our ‘right to exist’.

Hey, ProPublica reporter Jake Pearson here. I’m taking over the account to tell you about my new story. For months, I posed as a problem gambler on DraftKings to test the company's "responsible gaming" safeguards. Spoiler alert: They made me a VIP — and I lost $10K. Here's how it all went down. 🧵
