Again today, I used @5calls.org to help frame a call on the Trump Budget Bill to my US representative
@repkimschrier.bsky.social and for the first time calling any of my Congress people, I got a staffer live on the call. Still used some of that script, but it was helpful. Call your representative.

I have 2 ADA tickets for tonight Gonzaga vs UCLA at Clare Pledge, section 07W, row Y, 1-2. Wheelchair accessible. We can’t make it.
Before I put these on TM to resell, does anybody here want them? For a Zags fan who needs wheelchair or ADA (no stairs), I’ll make you an excellent deal.

Wait - we swapped saxophone players??
This story of José Ferrer teaching himself how to play the saxophone - and practicing in the bullpen because his hotel room was too quiet - is just delightful! These are the stories I live for.

Look, before this offseason I was 100% a Josh Naylor fan. But after watching his contract signing press conference, I’m at 108%. (note, 2x54%)

I very rarely read the acknowledgment for a book (unless I think I might be acknowledged :-)).
These are the closing words from Stories are Weapons: Psychological Warfare and the American Mind by @annaleen.bsky.social .
What a lovely way to end a very important and challenging topic.

You should watch this report by Scott Pelley of @60minutes.bsky.social — while more of a synopsis of the earlier reporting on this utterly corrupt pardon of Binance’s founder as the Trumps feather their fetid nest, bringing it all together makes for a powerful indictment.

Can we circle back to the part where the NY Times never disclosed that they have incriminating information on Donald Trump from sent by Epstein that's been sitting on their email servers for nearly a decade?

Dear @murray.senate.gov , your voicemail is full so I emailed and will echo here. Washington voters demand strong, progressive leadership that does not cave to the starvation tactics of the Trump GOP. Serve the people, or be primaried with every ounce of energy, will and funding that we have.
