I am so looking forward to this. Candace Millard’s β€œDestiny of the Republic”— the historical underpinning of this historical dramaβ€” is simultaneously brilliant and poignant. Michael Shannon will provide nuance and power to an ignored president - his intelligence, decency and potential cut short.

'Death by Lightning' unfolds like an 1880s 'West Wing' Netflix's new four-part miniseries dives into the plot to assassinate President James Garfield. Death by Lightning is full of recognizable arrogance, political intrigue and unexpected betrayal.

Fact Check: Transportation Secretary Sean Duffy Did NOT Say Pilots Don't Need Air Traffic Controllers And Should 'Suck It Up And Go With Their Gut Feelings' Did U.S. Transportation Secretary Sean Duffy say in a Fox News interview in November 2025 that "Pilots need to stop depending on air traffic controllers. They need to suck it up and go with their gut ...

I find Duffy and his ilk deplorable and indefensible , but this is not true.

The filibuster is an anti-democratic, extra-constitutional anachronism. If the Senate needs it to protect itself against itself, maybe they should make better policy decisions.

Came here to post the same thing. No quotation marks needed.

On the whole, I’d rather be out at home than in Bakersfield.

I’m enjoying all this new information, and I do indeed remember Slenderman. Thanks!

I’m still trying to understand β€œcopy pasta” from today. I assume it was supposed to be β€œpaste,” but maybe I’m not up on my slang.

Is β€œcopy pasta” a thing, or did Connections make a typo for β€œpaste”?

Scherzer’s red assery during Schneider’s mound visit was a high point of the post season. He was outstanding on the mound as well.

When you are slavishly adherent to a legal theory, common sense and what’s happening in the world around you is irrelevant.

Maintaining poise in crisis situations is part of the game, but it was flabbergasting.

It was a 66% Trump county. I still don’t wish losing basic medical service on anyone, but they shouldn’t be surprised.

He was a good ball player; one of the smartest, fundamentally sound players of his era. I watched him a bunch in Oakland, where he was a lynchpin to some great teams.

I really shouldn’t put Devers in the β€œdefensively limited” category. His play at first has really improved.
