The story selection for tonight’s @nbcnews.com should run as the last 20 min of a two hour show. One would think none of the actual stuff happening in this country is real or important - probably past time for me to tune out

Hello??? Are we paying attention??

Very clever

I have thoroughly enjoyed my inaugural World Cup fan effort this year - and Jason Gay’s sports writing has helped fuel my interest

I am postponing my dog walk so I can see the Viking row

Reasons the Supreme Court should have upheld birthright citizenship: 1) The Constitution 2) Flo Balogun

"I don't believe you should use a political calculus in running a news organization of this consequence....whether it's the Washington Post or CBS. I think the job is to be an ally of the facts, and to be an ally of the truth." Marty Baron joins @timmiller.bsky.social on The Bulwark Podcast:

Remembering the legendary Bob Weir 🖤

In @nytopinion.nytimes.com “Tragically, America is still living in a political era that began on Jan. 6, 2021,” the editorial board writes. “Recognizing as much is necessary to bring this era to an end before it has many more anniversaries.”
