Thank you, @pablo.show. To anyone doubting @pablo.show Pulitzer Prize winning reporting on Ballmer’s shady circumvention of the NBA salary cap: why are ya siding with a billionaire like Ballmer who wouldn’t piss on you if we’re on fire over fully vetted researched & reported receipts?

No West on my TV ever again. Take your sorry ass back to family ranch in MT you clout chasing POS & disappear. Amanda, I hope you wake up & realize what you truly lost when you chose West. He isolated you by design & you chose him over the beautiful friends who genuinely loved you. #summerhouse

In Springfield, Ohio, people are preparing in advance of a “large deportation” promised by the president. To all appearances, the city is two or three days from a federal ethnic cleansing, grounded in a hate campaign organized by the vice-president and American Nazis.

RIP Alex Pretti,
he was my Dads ICU nurse, he read my dad's final salut at the VA after he passed away. Never wanted to share this video but his speech is very on point. Also my Fathers final words to me was continue to fight the good fight. He would be honored in Alex' sacrifice, and ashamed of this current administration. In my Dads words I encourage you all to continue to "fight the good fight"

@nicollewallace.bsky.social hi. Daily listener of your show & grateful to have your voice bringing clarity amid all the chaos. Currently listening to today’s show & just a small bone of pick. Stephen Miller, not 47, is withholding security funds from blue cities/states. 47 is not fit or capable.

I took the trouble to correct (some of) Stephen Miller's errors.
A Stephen Miller Tweet I've annotated. *s mark my deletions, []s mark my additions.
100 Days of unparalleled success. 100 days of *fearless leadership* [Vladimir Putin's cuck]. 100 days of *defeating communism* [destroying US jobs] and *corruption* [crypto bribery]. 100 days of dismantling woke, CRT, DEI, racist equity and transgender madness. 100 days of restoring sanity and *merit* hiring unqualified Fox News hosts]. 100 days of sealing the border shut. 100 days of sending illegal aliens *home* [to Nayib Bukele's concentration camp]. 100 days of *fighting violent crime* [freeing cop assailants]. 100 days of making America safe. 100 days of lowering inflation and *unleashing domestic energy* [shutting down cheap renewable energy]. 100 days of *accountability* [Signal app excuses] and *transparency* [eliminating valuable govt data]. 100 days of *restoring military might* [building the SecDef a makeup room]. 100 days of reforming the bureaucracy and draining the Washington swamp. 100 days of *slashing government fraud* [fraudulent DOGE claims], graft and waste. 100 days of determination and strength. 100 days of bringing our industries back to our shores. 100 days of putting America First. 100 days of the new Golden Age [because investors are fleeing US Treasuries].

The single best and boldest 100 days of a new presidential term in America History.

The fact that the Trump/Musk DOJ — without due process & in defiance of federal courts — snatches people up, puts them on planes, and deports them to an authoritarian country where those people will be forced into slave labor in an inhumane prison should be a much bigger story.

I feel like every story describing the new ways DOGE [sic] is using AI should start by saying, "this is the same AI that the DOGE [sic] boys used to claim that USAID spend $60M on condoms in Gaza." www.washingtonpost.com/nation/2025/...

Elon Musk’s DOGE is feeding sensitive federal data into AI to target cuts
Department of Government Efficiency workers embedded in the Education Department have been processing sensitive agency data using artificial intelligence.

I worked a full day, visited with my ride or die boyfriend, picked up my scheduled Walmart order, ate a quesadilla & watched the “Yacht Rock” doc with my 24 yo daughter only for both of us to learn Toto is wildly underrated. Now I’m playing Mario Cart 8 on my Switch with a mild buzz. Not a bad day.

He knows history, conflict & discrimination. He knows how to fight with intellect & common sense, not violence. He knows how to reach people & find common ground. Not to put any pressure on Pete, but I think he's going to be instrumental in leading the way to help get us out of this catastrophe.
