Yoshinobu Yamamoto won Games 2, 6 and 7 of the World Series. He threw a complete game in Game 2, six innings and 96 pitches on Friday and came back Saturday to throw 2.2 scoreless innings on 34 pitches and induce the World Series-winning double play. A legendary performance.

Release the Epstein Files.

This is a huge deal. Virginia Giuffre, a survivor, is the one who named Andrew as one of her many rapists.

King Charles strips brother Andrew of prince title over Epstein scandal

The move marks the latest setback for the embattled royal as the scandal over his ties to the convicted American sex offender Jeffrey Epstein continues to cast a long shadow.

Or, I don't know - pass an actual budget resolution which reconciliation is already NOT subject to the fillibuster?

Flattering (unified message/talking points - LFMAO), but wrong. Kudos for Bessent to have not yet taken full cult baptism and calling us the "Democrat" party.

No apology needed. Most voters are woefully ignorant about how government works. Also, I'm not a fan of full "give the people what they want," because often they are idiots and often they are too selfish.

"For decades, the Pentagon viewed the climate crisis as a national security threat – not for environmental reasons, but because it undermined operations and readiness.

Now the Trump administration is dismantling that approach."

Pentagon retreats from climate fight even as heat and storms slam US troops

For decades, the military treated the climate crisis as a threat. Now it’s backing away from plans to protect people and bases from extreme weather

Angus: They banned all American wine and beer sales in the province. David Eby told Donald Trump, “You can keep your watery beer.”

We’ve seen an 85% drop in American spirit sales to Canada and a 97% drop in wine exports. Canada’s basically wiped out the market

A federal judge has ruled that the acting U.S. attorney for the Central District of California — the largest federal judicial district in the country — has been "unlawfully serving" in the role, in part because the Senate hasn’t confirmed him.

No. The deed and mortgage documents are public land records. It's been clear from the start that the second home rider (and Fannie Mae guidelines) did not prohibit her from renting out the property, even in the first year.

Add to this that many of us are feeling that the leaders shouldn't so much be reflecting what the masses "feel" but actually LEADING and making them feel what they are supposed to feel.

Same experience. I once heard a person on the "Congres-Douglas-O'Hare" train (now the "Blue line") telling an out-of-town friend visiting that he lived in Humbolt Park, but his realtor selling his condo said he lived in "West Bucktown." 😁
