As Stanford plays Cal this weekend in the Big Game, this will be the second game all season where the Cardinal play a team in California, or even in the Pacific time zone.-

As a Spurs fan, good to see San Antonio Spurs beat the Oklahoma Thunder tonight -110 to 104.

On a nonpolitical note, I can’t be the only person who doesn’t give a rat’s behind about the “Emirates NBA Cup?”

–

Senator Coach Tubby, fired from his last two football coaching jobs, whined today that zero Democrats voted against President Biden’s Cabinet nominees. True, maybe because Joe picked competent people?

–

Now it’s Dr. Oz who has no administrative experience, to run Medicare and Medicaid?! Congratulations Trump voters. You have turned US government into a bad sequel of Celebrity Apprentice.

Will some Republican like to tell us about how starting out the next Congress focusing on what bathroom Sarah McBride uses is going to help egg prices?

–

Can some kind woman in Congress teach Nancy Mace how to close and lock a bathroom stall door when she pees? Thank you. Sincerely, Americans who would like the House to focus on issues that actually matter.

Seriously haters, 2016 UCLA study found estimated 14,550 people in Wash. D.C. identify as transgender, 2.77% of population. In USA, 1.6 million people 13 & older identify as transgender. We’ve all been in bathrooms with transgender people without knowing it. & survived just fine.

Remember as GOP defends Hegseth over alleged sexual assault where he paid off his accuser but now says “it was consensual” & defends Matt Gaetz claiming he thought girl he paid for sex was 18… This is same GOP who impeached Bill Clinton over a consensual affair with an adult.

–

Marge Three Names claims she wants to protect women & girls. So she doesn’t want transgender women in women’s bathrooms. But she’s fine with Matt Gaetz, credibly accused of being a pedophile and sexual predator, being our AG. Can someone ask Jasmine Crockett for her comment?

–

JD Vance is going to Capitol Hill Wednesday to lobby Senators on behalf of Trump’s cabinet nominees… So guess Musk told Donald to let his supposed VP out of that bunker?

–

As GOP tries tricks to block Senate confirmation of Biden judges & complains about ballots & vote counting only in races they lost or might lose… Anyone ever played a game with a toddler who throws tantrums & tries to change rules so they win every time? Yeah, it’s like that.

–

But on a serious note…. we do need to keep reminding each other that we do have GOOD politicians in Washington DC (and elsewhere.)

–

Because not voting is as bad for democracy as voting for candidates who are anti-democracy.

For starters.

Amy Klobuchar’s legislation allowed Medicare to negotiate lower drug prices.

Tammy Baldwin’s ACA provision allowed kids to stay on their parent’s healthcare until 26.

Rafael Warnock’s affordable insulin bill capped cost at $35 a month.
