Anyway, the 2025 Dodgers are the LA equivalent of the 2000 Yankees - a mediocre regular season team that no one other than their own fans enjoyed watching at all

Why hasn't The New York Times ever once reported on Vance's well-documented ties to neo-Nazi twitter accounts?

Great question!!! I feel like @mtsw.bsky.social has an answer for this.

At some point, JD Vance's group chats or his Twitter DMs or something like that will leak, and it's going to make the New York Young Republicans' chats look tame in comparison.

Extremely fine that the Vice President is minimizing racist, genocidal, pro-Hitler group chats among GOP staffers 🙃

Every year, the Brewers win 95+ games, I think "maybe this is the Brewers' year" and then I look at their roster and wonder "how the hell did this team win 95+ games?" It's happening again.

Remember when Stephen Miller claimed the Chicago apartment raid was on a building “filled with Tren de Aragua terrorists”?

Well, DHS has now dropped the number of alleged TdA members arrested in the building from 2 to 1.

Just one "verified" Tren de Aragua member and one U.S. citizen with an active warrant were among the 37, DHS said, without saying how it had verified that gang affiliation. Others taken that day, the agency said, were "illegal aliens."

It’s funny how black people are expected to reach across the aisle to voters like these, while no one ever expects them to reach across the aisle to black people. Amazing who gets to be human, and who doesn’t.

POLITICO: “.. They referred to Black people as monkeys and ‘the watermelon people’ and mused about putting their political opponents in gas chambers. They talked about raping their enemies .. and lauded Republicans who they believed support slavery.
