Living somewhere at the intersection of sports and politics. Mostly because I’m a woman who likes to watch sports and believes women should have rights.

MacFarlane: The Second Harvest Food Bank of North Central Ohio has got the same issue. Last year, they paid $50,000 for diesel to transport their food. Now, they’re paying $150,000 for the diesel to transport their food.

Oh, honey . . . You didn’t show up to that game to support women. You showed up to opportunistically use women to rudely score some desperately needed attention. And harassing women is *not* supporting them. Let THAT sink in.

Todd Blanche: “I am not sure of the uproar of having a Border Patrol or ICE agent at a polling location. What's the risk?” Uhm, maybe because it’s illegal? Federal statute 18 U.S.C. § 592 prohibits deploying “troops or armed men” to locations where elections are held. An AG should know this.

I don’t care what side of the aisle you’re on - if your position is that the president of the United States and his family should be immune from IRS scrutiny, you’re unqualified to be the Attorney General. It’s an indictment on our entire system that 50 GOP Senators don’t agree.

I have said publicly or a while that a reporter should ask Trump to comment on Wakanda and say they're pro-tariff and only half-jokingly, I stand half-vindicated (and with this administration, as I have also said, you cannot make this stuff up):
bbc.com
US government lists fictional nation Wakanda as trade partner
Officials say it was an error to add the fictional nation from Black Panther to the list.

This is how you know conservatives don't really care about women's sports.
If you really care about female athletes, you'd go after cisgender male coaches and physicians who prey on them. Transgender women are not a threat.

AMERICAN EXCEPTIONALISM: All of the countries playing in the World Cup have universal healthcare EXCEPT for the US. We have other priorities, like pointless wars, golden ballrooms, terrorizing our people on the streets, concentration camps, and ruining reflecting pools by painting over marble.

New documents obtained by The Washington Post show the price to build the ballroom has ballooned to $600 million, up from the initial $200 million estimate, with more than half expected to be paid by U.S. taxpayers. wapo.st/4vOuwPD

Records reveal $600M estimate for Trump’s ballroom project, with half from taxpayers
An internal cost estimate in March by the project’s contractor ran $200 million more than Trump has said publicly and counters his claims that no taxpayer money will be spent.

As many suspected, taxpayers will end up footing part of the bill for the new White House ballroom after all. According to a new report from The Washington Post, the estimated cost of the project has now climbed to $600 million, with roughly half expected to come from taxpayer dollars.
