Watching my 12y/o nephew today. He's playing Left 4 Dead on his dad's Xbox One. He's doing easy mode, so one shot kills them regardless of where it hits them. Instead of headshots, he's aiming for the groin. Every 30 seconds I hear him yell, "got you in the balls!" 😅

For being a batshit insane QAnon loon, MTG is smarter than I thought. Or has better political instincts than I realized, at least.
Quitting before she can lose in '26 so she'll have an undefeated record as she runs for the GOP '28 POTUS nomination.

Dubón fills the role I'd eyed for Bruján (assuming we get a starting SS), but depth is nice. Glad to see the split contract and avoiding arbitration. Was worried he'd get non-tendered.

Hoping Dubón is a utility guy for us, and we still go after HSK (or barring that, make a trade for a better SS.)
If that's indeed the case, I like the deal. And I like that AA is busy early compared to most teams this offseason

Just saw the news that Iggy is coming back on a one year deal at the same price he got last year. I like it. He was solid in the 2nd half, and we still have this offseason & the season to find the long-term closer.
But for now, it's a major checkmark off the offseason shopping list. Now, sign HSK

And keep in mind that “criminal history” could be a 15-year-old DUI, which is what they used to deport a popular local restaurant owner with two American children in my town during Trump I. He employed 6 people and nothing has opened up in that space since.
DEVELOPING: The DOJs own data, provided as part of an ongoing lawsuit, appeared to show only about 2.5% of 614 people arrested by ICE on immigration violations in the Chicago area before Oct. 7 had criminal histories

“ended up” is C R A Z Y
A teenager in Florida with a homeless parent wanted money for braces and ended up having sex for money with powerful men, setting off a chain of events that would have a dramatic impact on her life and help upend the political career of Representative Matt Gaetz. nyti.ms/49PSkL9

you could fact check this — there aren’t 30 million illegal immigrants and there is no evidence that the presence of an immigrant in say houston has any impact on housing in madison, wisconsin — or you could note straightforwardly that this is just nazi rhetoric
JD Vance: "A lot of young people are saying housing is way too expensive. Why is that? Because we flooded the country with 30 million illegal immigrants who were taking houses that ought by right go to American citizens."

@durbin.senate.gov made it infinitely easier for Senators to sue Jack Smith for trying to uncover their treason than for this man to sue ICE for pepper spraying his toddler.
Under Bivens, there is limited ability to sue ICE agents for unlawful uses of force and illegal searches. This makes the deal @durbin.senate.gov just cut that allows Senators to sue over far less all the more disgraceful.
Here’s video of federal agents doing a drive by pepper spraying that hit a father and his one-year old on Saturday when the Feds were hitting Little Village and Cicero

Schumer has appeased the fascists so much this year that, if we last long enough for history books to be written, he'll make goddamn Neville Chamberlain look like Simo Häyhä by comparison.
Democrats have been fighting for months to address America's healthcare crisis
For the millions who will lose coverage
For people with cancer who won't get the care they need
For working families who can't afford to pay $25K more a year for healthcare
We will keep fighting

The original Dem demands were:
1) Permanent ACA subsidies
2) Medicaid funding restored
3) No more blank checks for the regime (rescission)
They dropped Medicaid immediately. Went silent on rescission. Cut back to 1 year of subsidies on Friday. And surrendered today.

The coordinated nature of this—none are facing voters in 2026—means that either Schumer approved it or failed in his job as Senate Majority Leader to stop it.
Dems voting "no" get zero credit until they demand a change in leadership. Schumer out as Leader, Durbin out as Whip.
