I don't know them all too well but I believe the identity they were going for was that they were marketing themselves toward younger fans than LAG. Otherwise, it's LA so, like, they're not going to be Lazio or Chelsea. Generally a pro-immigrant fan base. www.rollingstone.com/politics/pol...

Once upon a time, American soldiers handed out food to Germans because *they* had followed a fascist madman into national ruin.

How times change.

404 Media @404media.co · 1d

NEW: The US Army website for its bases in Bavaria, Germany told its soldiers and employees that it might need to obtain free food from the German government during the US government shutdown.

The Army later altered publication to remove a list of food banks, but we have the original text here:

US Army Tells Soldiers to Go to German Food Bank, Then Deletes It

The initial 'Shutdown Guidance' for the US Army Garrison Bavaria included instructions to go to German food banks.

The federal judge in the Trump administration’s prosecution of James Comey, the former FBI director, on Wednesday blasted President Trump’s handpicked prosecutor, Lindsey Halligan, for taking an “indict first, investigate later” approach to the case.

Judge Berates Justice Dept. in Its Prosecution of Comey

The flashpoint was the Justice Department’s failure to turn over seized communications from a confidant of Mr. Comey’s, Daniel C. Richman, a law professor at Columbia University.

"Rep. Mike Quigley, a Democrat representing Illinois, said ICE agents followed the teacher into the school 'without a warrant and abducted her in front of her students.'"

Raids inside day cares had been off limits until this year, when, on his first day in office, President Donald Trump removed that protection.

The arrest reportedly took place in front of children.

I don't see the case for DM. Too brief of a peak, not even close with career stats or WAR. If he'd played for the Angels or Brewers, it probably wouldn't even be a point of debate. Far too many players ahead of him are more deserving, including Steve Garvey.

Rob. ✍️🕮💥 @rjk3phd.bsky.social · 1d

Timely reminder...

Keith Hernandez: WAR 60.4, JAWS 50.8, OPS+ 128, WS rings with two different teams, arguably the best defensive first baseman of all time.

Mattingly: WAR 42.4, JAWS 39.1, OPS+ 127.

So guess which one is a #HOF finalist.

Son's was better but it's fun to see them side by side.

This version is a better comparison I think. Managed to download the wrong one first time 😅

Sonny pauses so it's difficult to judge.

WOW. A federal judge says he's going to issue a Temporary Restraining Order requiring ICE to make changes at the Broadview facility in Chicago, a facility that until January was only for stays under 12 hours "absent exceptional circumstances," but has become, in Judge Gettleman's words, "a prison."

Jon Seidel @jonseidel.bsky.social · 2d

U.S. Robert Gettleman is now giving his thoughts. He says, "I think the evidence has been pretty strong that this facility is no longer just a temporary holding facility. …

"It has really become a prison."

Jon Seidel @jonseidel.bsky.social · 2d

DOJ's Jana Brady steps up next but says she'll largely "rest on our brief that we filed."

She wants any TRO to not "interfere with the executive branch."

Why can't we just let Scarlett take that?? It's 4-0 and it'd have been a CL goal he'd always remember. That's poor man management there.

New: The FBI is quietly urging ICE agents to properly ID themselves in the field.

In a bulletin to law enforcement last month, it warned of criminals posing as ICE to rob, rape, kidnap—a problem it says now demands national coordination to confront.

By me & @carolinehaskins.bsky.social:

FBI Warns of Criminals Posing as ICE, Urges Agents to ID Themselves

In a bulletin to law enforcement agencies, the FBI said criminal impersonators are exploiting ICE’s image and urged nationwide coordination to distinguish real operations from fakes.
