Andrew C. White

I'll take him over Beckham. But... yeah.

With their 41st victory tonight the White Sox have matched their total from last year.

There are 52 games to go in the season.

Douglas Holtz-Eakin is a conservative former Congressional Budget Office director, chief economist for McCain 2008, and president of the American Action Forum, a conservative advocacy group. William Beach was Trump's former Commissioner of Labor Statistics in the first term. They're furious about Trump firing the BLS commissioner.

Operating the U.S. economy without reliable statistics is like flying a plane without any control panels.
Even conservative economists are terrified of this.

I'm not surprised Robert wasn't traded as Getz continues to value him higher than the rest of the league. I kinda understand that but still think they should have gotten what they could.

But they moved no one else? That's all they got for Houser?

SMH... that D grade might be a D-

White Sox GM Chris Getz - Grade D

I wasn't expecting much and got less.

Curtis Mead is a bat without a position. And a bat that hasn't performed yet in the majors.

Add in 2 unranked minor league "prospects" that probably never contribute and 1 middling prospect that might be a middle reliever.

Sean Hannity is whining about me on his radio show and I have learned some new information about myself.

New leaders aren’t coming some day in the future -- they’re already here. Since the November election, more than 60,000 people have signed up with Run for Something to consider running for office -- joining our pipeline of more than 225,000 people who’ve ever signed up with us. To put that in context: In the entirety of Trump’s first term -- all four years -- we saw 67,000 people raise their hands to run for office (including the folks I listed earlier! We’re likely to exceed that total by September 2025. The biggest moments so far have been immediately post Election Day in November, the first big wave of DOGE firings, when Sen. Chuck Schumer folded on the continuing resolution fight without giving an inch, and when Zohran Mamdani won the NYC mayoral primary against the old guard -- the last of those being our biggest organic candidate recruitment surge of the last 8+ years, with 10,000 new people signing up in just two weeks, inspired by seeing a young leader bring joy, love for community, and a focus on affordability win against the odds.

Of those folks signing up expressing interest, we expect about 10% to actually get on the ballot -- many of them will be running for local offices in 2026. The Democratic Party is changing, and per every poll of the last six months, it couldn’t happen soon enough. These local candidates -- a vast majority of whom are millennials and gen Z, running in all 50 states -- are bringing fresh energy and a new perspective into the party.

A preview into where the Democratic Party is going, based on what we’re seeing from the hundreds of @runforsomething.net candidates on the ballot & the 60k who’ve signed up to run since November…

(1) New leaders aren’t coming some day in the future - they’re here.

I have that happen about every tenth thing that comes along regarding him. About every one hundreth turns out to be someone's made up meme. The rest turn out to be... reality... of sorts.

I had heard people refer to this and I assumed they were exaggerating. My bad.

Yeah, it's a good trade. Slater is a good role player but I am surprised we got an actual prospect (even if a middling one) for him.

“He stole her”?????

the one thing i genuinely did not anticipate from this administration was its vicious, know nothing hostility to any and everything that might even be adjacent to science and scientific research. they genuinely one to destroy the entirety of the nation’s research capacity. and for what, exactly?

Dear Texas,
cc: Donald Trump (Convicted Felon-Fl)

There are 52 congressional districts in California. 9 are currently held by Republicans. I can easily redraw all of California's districts as at least 56% Democratic districts.

Sincerely,

I've been anti-gerrymandering since as far back as I knew what gerrymandering was.

But you know what?

I'm even more anti-fascist.

Democrats should absolutely respond to the Texas mid-decade nonsense by doing the same in every state possible.

Bradley Edwards, attorney for Epstein survivors, says on MSNBC that the executors of Epstein's estate are in possession of the birthday book containing Trump's letter and would be willing to turn it over to authorities

Since the House is going to be in recess until the fall, they should have plenty of time for townhalls! Demand it. Ask them why they're covering up their nasty vote against the American people in that Big U Bill, & why they are covering up the Epstein files! Make them WISH they were back In session.

this reminds me of the period in american politics when pundits would demand that any black politician of note — really, any black person in politics with a national audience — “condemn farrakhan”

Excellent comparison. Or Jeremiah Wright for Obama.

🚨🚨🚨 Jeffrey Epstein during a 2010 deposition:

Q. Have you ever socialized with Donald Trump in the presence of females under the age of
18?
A: Though l'd like to answer that question, at least today l'm going to have to assert my Fifth, Sixth, and 14th Amendment rights, sir.

BREAKING: Oversight Democrats just passed a motion in subcommittee to subpoena the DOJ to release the Epstein files. Total vote was 8-2 in favor (all Democrats voted in favor, 3 Rs for and 2 Rs against)

Hegseth Signal messages came from email classified ‘SECRET,’ watchdog told The revelation contradicts the Trump administration’s long-standing claims that no classified information was shared by the defense secretary’s account during the “Signalgate” scandal.

SCOOP: The Pentagon inspector general has received evidence that messages from Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth’s Signal account previewing a bombing campaign in Yemen derived from a classified email labeled “SECRET/NOFORN,” people familiar w/ the matter said.

Here's a gift link to the WSJ breaking story that Trump's name appears multiple in the Epstein files: www.wsj.com/politics/jus...

“If you find yourself on the same side as Jeffrey Epstein on this issue, I'm just wondering why exactly we should consider you loyal members of the human race."

To Whom It May Concern, I became aware of your recent article “Trump posts fake video of Obama in jail, declares ‘treason’ and ‘crime of the century’ in AI-driven blitz” which contains a completely fabricated quote from me. The article attributes the following to me regarding Donald Trump’s AI video depicting Obama’s arrest: “This deepfake is political disinformation at its worst,” said Nina Jankowicz, disinformation analyst and former executive director of the US Disinformation Governance Board. “It erodes public trust, damages reputations, and poses serious threats to democratic stability.” I did not say this. In fact, I have not issued any comment related to this Trump AI video to your outlet or the public. The manufactured quote is incorrect and irrelevant, and it negatively impacts my professional reputation. Please remove the false quotation and append a correction to the article, stating that a prior version of this article included a quote falsely attributed to Nina Jankowicz. Sincerely, Nina Jankowicz

Can't believe I had to issue a request like this, but apparently news outlets are printing completely fabricated quotes now
