Deleted a post about “what’s your least favorite song” because the vibes are bad enough already.
Instead: what’s your favorite song that has a long title, say at least 6 words long?
Mine: “Elderly Woman Behind the Counter in a Small Town” (Pearl Jam)

It seems like if two teams are close to a trade but can't quite agree on all the pieces, their next step is to call the Rays, and sometimes the Rays deliver.
The Rays have been involved in 5 of the last 6 three-team trades in MLB

Abolish ICE.
There’s no reforming it.
There’s no compromise.
There’s only one way to rein in ICE’s terror campaign. Abolish it.

Trade: The Seattle Mariners are on the verge of acquiring infielder/outfielder Brendan Donovan from the St. Louis Cardinals. The Tampa Bay Rays have a minor role in the 3-way trade in which they are expected to acquire Mariners utilityman Ben Williamson. @katiejwoo.bsky.social on it.

the president of the united states should not be allowed to personally loot the treasury to the sum of ten billion dollars and that this is not resulting in immediate, unanimous impeachment is a dramatic indictment of what has become of our political system
President Trump has filed a lawsuit against the IRS, in which he demands that the IRS, which he as president controls, pay him $10 billion.

The more I think about it, the more I’m convinced the Democrats have to push their hand immediately. The parallels with the delays and subsequent failures after January 6th are blaring warning signs about what will happen if they don’t go after the issues with ICE and CBP at the root RIGHT NOW.
