MLB needs to step in here. You can’t have the person Japan knows as the guy who mocked Ohtani and all Asians with a racist accent throw out the first pitch to game 7. This can’t happen.

Speaker Johnson has decided to keep the House in recess all through next week. This will be the seventh consecutive week of recess for the chamber. It has not been in session since Sept. 19.

Jack Morris suspended for remarks about Ohtani Tigers television analyst Jack Morris has been suspended indefinitely by Bally Sports Detroit after he used an accent when describing what the Tigers should do when pitching to the Angels' Shohei Ohta...

“70% of wage-earning adults who rely on government programs like SNAP and Medicaid work full-time, many at hugely profitable companies like Walmart and McDonald’s whose low wages are effectively subsidized by tax dollars without any of the blame or paternalistic lectures.”

SNAP benefits feed essential needs while still leaving many hungry for more Journalist and author Adam Chandler explains what so much of the conversation about them gets wrong.

As SNAP hangs in the balance for nearly 42 million people, misinformation is rampant. Myths of laziness and fraud persist when we should be talking about too low wages for workers, income inequality, and our threadbare social safety net.

I always have photos of my kids from behind like this from when they were very young and until now as teens. I like to think of them as launching point photos.

Hello, Louvre of BlueSky? Yes, where is your submission box?

Teenager in a "scary mask" just came up to the house and told me trick or treat smell my feet. I told him he might want to put a mask on next year to cover up his face. His friends continued the roast.

The government shutdown means SNAP will be disrupted as of 11/1. Our team will hold outreaches to help people apply for SNAP & find food assistance. (Those approved for SNAP after 11/1 will not receive benefits until shutdown ends or other federal funding is approved.)
