'We’re scared.' Latin American players on edge as ICE tactics intensify Major League Baseball players and managers express fear and concern over increased immigration enforcement.

Apparently Eugenio Suarez had his citizenship application taken off the books because he's Venezuelan and his response was "it is what it is."

Guess What Moderate Democratic Voters Aren’t Anymore? Moderate. Two new polls suggest that moderate Democrats, too, want higher taxes on the rich and some measure of economic populism. Moderate isn’t what it was in 1992.

Moderate Democrats with columns in newspapers are constantly saying the Democratic Party is way too liberal on "social" issues. Moderate Democratic voters in real life do not feel this way. With some polling data from @gelliottmorris.com and @dataforprogress.org. newrepublic.com/article/2074...

NEW—In a phone interview, President Trump told me the war could be over soon: “I think the war is very complete, pretty much. They have no navy, no communications, they’ve got no Air Force.” He added that the U.S. is “very far” ahead of his initial 4-5 week estimated time frame.

CBS reports POTUS thinks the war could be over because we've bombed to win. Sure, no further questions.

They clearly want a narrative around Talarico as gay or a deviant because he's not married and that probably works well for Texas's grumpy Boomers but on the other hand "you're not married yet, fuck you" is gonna activate every Zoomer under 27.

News today: Wisconsin Justice Ziegler, a conservative up for reelection NEXT spring, just announced she won’t seek reelection.

That means that if liberals win a seat next month, they’ll then have a golden opportunity to pick ANOTHER seat next spring and go up… 6-1!

Scoot MacFarlane has been a long time fixture in DC with WTOP, WRC (NBC 4 in DC) and went nationally to CBS. He knows it’s a shitshow and is leaving. I expect him to go on ABC, NBC, or a DC local news outlet.

Still frustration from Virginia GOP is clear

As Potomac River advisories lift, public concerns remain after sewage spill • Virginia Mercury Virginians can once again fish and swim in portions of the Potomac River that were affected when a sewage pipe collapsed in Montgomery County, Maryland.

The Virginia Department of Health has lifted the recreational water advisory for some parts of the state after 243 million gallons of sewage spilled into the Potomac River last month. But an environmental group is concerned that contaminants remain in the water. virginiamercury.com/2026/03/09/a...

We can have a debate if ESPN cares about news, but it seems like they saw an opportunity and took it all thanks to WaPo’s incompetence.

Ali Khamenei, despite his reputation, actually limited Iran in certain aspects to try to maintain the chance of relations with the west. It annoyed the IRGC deeply. Anyway, congrats to China, who will likely have, within five years, a treaty ally with its dagger at the throat of the global economy.

I find it interesting they keep stats for men and share it, but don’t for the women. That has to be fixed and Julie is right to call this out.

One thing I heard about the WBC: you only get to see Skubal pitch one game and that’s it. This is the beginning of the season. WBC is a good moneymaker, but it does not bring a new audience. The Olympics will do that. Again, the NFL, NBA, and NHL have jumped onboard to this. MLB should follow suit.
