And brought Yamamoto and Roki along for the ride. An undervalued aspect of signing him.

Dodgers would not have gotten here without our favorite walking can of red bull Alex Vesia roaring his way off the mound. I hope he stays with us and I hope he and his wife are going to be okay. I love that dude so much.

They don’t like being outnumbered, so seems unlikely. But they will threaten it.

Dodgers' Will Smith Sets Unbreakable World Series Record in Game 7 The catcher backstopped all 73 innings of the World Series, breaking a record set in 1903.

While the Dodgers were the last team standing in 2025, Will Smith was the longest man crouching in World Series history.

I thought Dave pulled each of them too early over the last few games, but that ended up working out.

It’s kind of romantic that all the starters played a part in this win and pretty emblematic of the whole post season run.

But the Dodgers beat the blue jays the last time they met this year and they were absolutely playing terribly then too, but the better the other team they seem to pull shit out.

That’s not right, but I would agree the blue jays played a much better series which is different. The dodgers absolutely did not play their best baseball (except Yamamoto). Blue Jays did.

Los Angeles suffered tremendously because of the wildfires. The president of the United States has wanted to make the immigrants who make the city suffer and declared war on the city. But all throughout it, L.A. makes it work daily. It’s a place where people go to make it. LA deserves this.

Poor Jazz Chisholm.

Yamamoto is mvp of course. But Miggy Ro close second.

And they aren’t even close to playing their best baseball.

Over on Twitter, I bet they are also all watching the game but every time something happens someone blames it on Jewish people.

Ohtani seems not well. Heavy breathing, breaks, not usual for him. I wonder if he is needing fluids at the breaks. He apparently had to get an IV after game 3.

Partly Vlads fault, he played like it was a ball and was walked and Springer saw it. The runner clearly can’t hear the umpire, and that’s exactly what happened last time. The batter needs to know the runner is looking at him.

12 While courts must allow law enforcement “officers to draw on their own experience and specialized training” to assess the circumstances, SA Carl’s inferences about the situation—based on his unfounded assumption that he was executing a warrant and that the Defendant was subject to an order of removal—are not entitled to such deference. Arvizu, 534 U.S. at 273. Indeed, DO Hernandez appears to have misled his own team by concealing that there was no order of removal for the Defendant nor warrant for his arrest. DO Hernandez also acknowledged at the hearing that he has verbal instructions from superiors to break car windows. See ECF No. 60, 8/25 Hr’g Tr. at 72:15–23. “[G]ood faith on the part of the arresting officers is not enough.’” Beck v. Ohio, 379 U.S. 89, 96 (1964) (quoting Henry v. United States, 361 U.S. 98, 102 (1959)). “If subjective good faith alone were the test, the protections of the Fourth Amendment would evaporate, and the people would be ‘secure in their persons, houses, papers, and effects,’ only in the discretion of the police.” Id. at 97.

Note the verbal instructions to break windows.

👀

That's where this arrest went haywire.

SA1 misled SA2 that he had a warrant or removal order. SA2 breaks window bc “I’m going to go get my window break; I ain’t got time for this.”

The sworn affidavit submitted in support of the Criminal Complaint in this matter tells a very different—and largely fictional—story. For example, Special Agent Steven Fuentes of ICE, HSI, and the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) swore to the following: On June 20, 2025, [HSI, ICE-ERO, and TxDPS] were conducting surveillance at a residence on Benrus, in San Antonio, Texas, in the Western District of Texas. Database checks indicated that Jaime Albert QUINTANILLA-Chavez, with a Final Order of Removal from an Immigration Judge, was residing at the above address. At approximately 0715 a.m., QUINTANILLA exited the residence and entered a white Dodge Ram. The Dodge Ram was towing a trailer containing construction equipment. Both license plates for the truck and trailer were expired. ECF No. 1 ¶ 2 (emphasis added). Fuentes also swore that (1) the Defendant refused to “follow any commands”; (2) after the Defendant was blocked in between the officers’ vehicles, he was given “multiple verbal commands to exit the vehicle”; and (3) the Defendant “fought the law enforcement officers.” Id. ¶¶ 3–4. Fuentes further testified at the preliminary hearing that the Defendant was surveilled (and taken into custody) because he was subject to a Final Order of Removal from an Immigration Judge. See ECF No. 12, 6/26 Preliminary Hr’g Tr. at 4:20–25. Despite HSI’s sworn statement to the Magistrate Judge that the vehicle was stopped because of expired license plates, the Assistant U.S. Attorney conceded at a bond hearing in July 2025 that Fuentes had “misrepresented what was going on.” ECF No. 29, 7/10 Hr’g Tr. at 8:12–

The Defendant pulled over, came to a stop, and took out his cell phone to call a friend to come pick up the only other occupant of his vehicle: his weenie dog, Rocky. ECF No. 29, 7/10 Hr’g Tr. at 29:9–18. The Defendant’s friend saw from his video messaging application that there were men aiming guns at the Defendant and yelling at him. See id. at 25:17–21.

This dismissal opinion on a failed ICE arrest that @seamushughes.bsky.social found is worth reading in its entirety. Come for the debunking of DHS "fiction," stay for the snark about wiener dog, but definitely take time to read the 18 USC 111 analysis.

ICE Barbie Says Immigrants Are Too Dumb to Drive Semitrucks Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem made the inane claim while bragging about arresting immigrant truck drivers.

Yet in 2010, Noem—then a congressional candidate—had “20 speeding tickets, three stop-sign violations, two seat-belt violations and a citation for driving with no driver’s license.” She had six court notices for failing to appear, and had two warrants out for her arrest. trib.al/uQSDaqR

Waltz and staff used Gmail for government communications, officials say Trump’s national security adviser is trying to manage his way out of a crisis. But new revelations about his team’s operational security are piling up in the inbox.

What the actual f*ck?!!!

“Members of Trump’s National Security Council, including White House national security adviser Michael Waltz, have conducted government business over personal Gmail accounts, according to documents reviewed by The Washington Post and interviews with three U.S. officials.“

Teenager in ICE detention many states away illegally for *3 months*; tax dollars pay for this.

Next, as you may know, thousands of refugees have left Honduras and other Central American countries to escape the situation there. Would you approve or disapprove of allowing these refugees to come into this country? Poll 1: December 3-12, 2018. Approve 51%, disapprove 43%, no opinion 6% Poll 2: July 15-31, 2019. Approve 57%, disapprove 39%, no opinion 4%.

People appear to have completely forgotten that the idea that the United States should allow people to seek asylum at the border was, at the time Biden took office, the popular, mainstream position!

In fact, Gallup showed support actually ROSE after Trump’s own “border crisis” in spring 2019.

On the Dodgers “ruining baseball” when it’s actually the opposite:

I looked it up...over 48,000 of those SNAP households are in Clay Higgins' district.

That's around 126,000 of his constituents, or 16% of the entire population of LA-03.

The Truth Behind The Lies Of The Original 'Welfare Queen' The story of the woman famously referred to as a "welfare queen" in Ronald Reagan's 1976 campaign is far more bizarre and unsettling than the stereotype she became the emblem for, as a stellar long re...

The *actual* fraudsters, moreover, are the people spreading the lie, which they use to plunder impoverished communities & enrich themselves by abusing the public trust.

Sen. Tommy Tuberville (R-AL) actually told the press that Democrats would be the ones hurt most by losing SNAP.

To be fair, since he lives in Florida instead of the state he represents, maybe he doesn’t realize 752,000 Alabamians rely on SNAP—14.6% of the state’s population.

NEW: Judge Walker partially grants Letitia James's motion related to Lindsey Halligan's Signal exchange.

The judge will require DOJ to preserve any communications—including communications with the media—about the case.

But he won't require the government to maintain a log of its media contacts.
