If you don’t watch cycling I want to share the joy of Eritrean Biniam Girmay, who is the first Black person to win a stage in the Tour de France and now won his second! In the first week! And he’s in green, which means he’s winning the most sprints (and beating Jasper Phillipsen, which is great.)

It would be nice if America had a pro-immigration party.

I hope no one forgets that Trump did, in fact, try to prosecute Hillary Clinton www.nytimes.com/2024/06/03/o...

Yes, Joe Biden is very old, but it remains wild to me that this is not dominating the national political conversation. It is absolutely unprecedented.

Pence joins Trump's two attorneys general, two defense secretaries, two secretaries of state, two national security advisers, two chiefs of staff and three communication directors in refusing to endorse their former boss. It's a remarkable list. And has to be a first, right?

Mike Pence says he won't endorse Trump's presidential bidwww.nbcnews.com The former vice president cited “profound differences on a range of issues,” including the national debt, attitudes about abortion rights, and Trump’s reversal on the sale of TikTok.

The article: The events described took place in Mexico, not the US. "None of this happened during President Biden’s administration, nor does it appear to have anything to do with his policies regarding the U.S. border with Mexico." Now look at the headline. www.nytimes.com/2024/03/09/u...

Questions Arise About Britt’s State of the Union Responsewww.nytimes.com The Alabama senator used a story about sex trafficking to criticize the Biden administration’s border policies. But it wasn’t fully accurate.

👇🎯 I'm sure folks here in 🇩🇪 worry about Biden's age & mental acuity. But literally the first & second & third thing people want to discuss with me in every meeting here in Berlin is whether Trump will really be re-elected & how horrifying that is for European/global security, 🇺🇦/🇷🇺, & 🇺🇸 democracy.

Folks, I am overseas, and this news is spreading like WILD FIRE. It’s been the TOP morning story in both Arabic & French speaking news. I’m not sure how it’s playing in the US, but, my god, I’m watching the news coverage here & I’m literally cringing. What a humiliation!!!

Look, I'm not proud of it but I'll just say it out loud anyway Go Lions

"When impeached, he says only the courts could possibly hold him accountable; when faced with criminal charges, he says prosecution is impossible without an impeachment."

New from me: I wrote about Trump's immunity appeal hearing and the way his lawyers keep shifting the goalposts on impeachment and who, if anyone, is allowed to keep the president in check

Opinion | Trump keeps moving the goalposts on impeachment and immunitywww.msnbc.com Tuesday's hearing saw Donald Trump's lawyer being forced to argue against Donald Trump's impeachment defense lawyer.

I will have trenchant and witty things to say on here once grades are submitted, I swear.

End of feed.
