I spoke too soon, they actually got a bad day from Uribe, and again Mookie puts together an absolute professional AB for insurance.

The constant chances against their leverage arms not being capitalized on, plus that deflection play, makes this feel like a game they blow and it ruins the season.

If you put your ear against the Capitol, you can hear the sound of a man who will do nothing to challenge—and anything to justify—presidential violations of the Constitution, as long as the president is of his own party. www.thebulwark.com/p/speaker-mi...

The Speaker of the House Is Abetting Authoritarianism

Every Trump needs his Johnson: a flunky who will rationalize his crimes.

Sarah Matthews: "I'm not the one who changed. The Republican Party changed. I'm still a conservative, I believe in these values — that's why I'm speaking up and speaking out against Trump's abuses of democracy."

Vaccines are safe and effective.

Autism isn't caused by vaccines, and autistic people and their families deserve our support.

When you want information, ask your doctor.

It's more important than ever for all of us to speak plainly, truthfully, and directly about public health.

Despite what some, including at DHS, are claiming, this video isn’t from a year ago in Chicago. It was Friday in Hoffman Estates, in my district, a street I’ve walked myself. It appears to show a child being violently detained by ICE. It’s real, and I’m demanding accountability.

Offense does need to do better, but also ... I mean, Muncy did basically have the death blow. Just ... baseball happened.

As an added bonus of not blowing the game open, the Dodgers saw all their leverage arms and had good swings, IMO.

So happy to get a win out of this. They deserved it, but it's the kind of game that they lose in pre-2024 years and this regular season.

Unsurprisingly, despite whatever struggles, opposing managers want nothing to with Ohtani against any righty and even normal lefties are nibbling.

At least Treinen finally rewarded my delusional praying that he would turn it around (sorta ... close enough!) based solely on his past three seasons with zero statistical reasoning, lol.

"Show them you're not afraid. Do it for the country. For the Constitution. For your family. For yourself. Do it for your freedom. While you still can."

This is excellent. Every Dem strategist who thinks there's risk in engaging these debates should watch it for guidance.

Military aid to Ukraine has fallen substantially, even as Russia’s aggression has not.

That hard fact, not any “change of tone” or “expression of frustration” or “consideration of sending more advanced equipment” is what matters most on the ground. Moscow surely knows that, and sees encouragement.

That @JoeBiden put out this magnanimous & gracious statement AFTER all the horrible, dishonest things Trump said about Biden today, says so much about who Joe Biden is as a person. And reminds us all once again of what an utterly horrible, small, bad, & insecure person Trump is.

The entire incident is infuriating and terrifying. She’s a Latina woman who was working a service job. On her way home late at night, with her headphones in, she was detained for an hour by masked federal agents who wouldn’t give her their names.

Maria Greeley, 44, had just finished working a double shift at the Beach Bar on Ohio Street
earlier this month when she said she was surrounded by three federal agents who grabbed her, forced her hands behind her back and zip tied her.
Headphones in, Greeley had been focused on getting home to her two dogs for a walk.
Instead, she said she was detained by masked agents who did not answer when she asked for names. They questioned her for an hour, she said.

The truth is that Trump is held to a uniquely & pathetically low standard by his voters. Trump’s voters treat him like a spoiled child. He can lie, cheat, steal, personally profit off his office, etc, etc, & his voters are just fine with it. All behaviors they let no other politician get away with.

Dodgers left 11 men on base, so Brewera should consider themselves lucky to have still had a chance to win late.
