Broke himself. I mean screw the Cubs, but

I have the volume off. I agree wholeheartedly.

Yes random Brewers fan, the announcers will be WAY more neutral w The Dodgers! Good luck.

Frat bros, Ricketts, just going to be at a beer garden - all good Cubs fan hater takes. Fair weather fans? They literally followed the team through the longest championship drought in professional sports history.

Because they care about the game and are into it from the jump? For shame!

By taunting your pitcher into giving up a 3 run bomb?!

Jays 4 outs from ALCS, and it’s all Yankees all the time on this broadcast.

LOL - Toronto is the 4th largest city in North America and they just resigned one of the best players in MLB who is having an all time great division series. Milwaukee is not that.

Cubs got hosed by replay. Enjoy the offseason!

This team that just had two batters hit by pitches “never quits”

TSJ! TSJ!

Illinois Public Media responds to the threat of federal funding cuts - Culture President Trump recently signed an executive order to end federal funding for NPR and PBS. While the ramifications of the order are still unknown and there will be court challenges about if it is even...

Paul sat down with Maurice “Moss” Bresnahan and John Steinbacher to discuss the impact of the potential funding cuts. Bresnahan said this is “the most dangerous moment” in his more than 25 years in public media.

Didn’t strike out that time.

Congratulations to Pope Leo XIV!

With this illegal action, and his incessant attacks on media, the President is sending a chilling message: We will silence any voice that questions us.

Public media doesn’t just deserve our support. It demands our defense. (2/2)

“We know that the existence of local news, and public radio in particular, contributes to lower rates of polarization, higher rates of civic engagement, and higher rates of civic trust.” NPR CEO Katherine Maher joins Jordan Klepper to stress the important functions of public media.

The Trump administration is expected to ask Congress to rescind more than $1 billion of funding from the Corporation for Public Broadcasting, the congressionally created body through which NPR and PBS get federal funding.

Indeed, the law specifically states that the CPB "will not be an agency or establishment of the United States Government" and sets up a series of measures intended to "afford the maximum protection from extraneous interference and control."

COMPLAINT The Corporation for Public Broadcasting ("CPB"), a District of Columbia nonprofit corporation created by Congress in the Public Broadcasting Act of 1967 (the "Act"), 47 U.S.C. § 396, the entirety of the Board of Directors for CPB, and individual Board members Laura G. Ross, Thomas E. Rothman, and Diane Kaplan file this Complaint seeking a judicial declaration that an email dated April 28, 2025, purportedly from Trent Morse, Deputy Director of Presidential Personnel, to three of the Board members of CPB asserting that President Trump had purportedly terminated their positions on the Board is of no legal effect given that the President has no power to remove or terminate CPB's Board members. As set forth in the Act, government guidance, and well-established legal precedent, the CPB was created by Congress to expressly be "a private corporation [to] be created to facilitate the development of public telecommunications and to afford maximum protection from extraneous interference and control." Id. at § 396 (a)(10). To ensure that CPB was insulated from partisan governmental interference and control and ensure its autonomy, Congress expressly provided various protections, including that:

CPB is not a federal agency subject to the President's authority, but rather a private corporation. See Id. at § 396(b) ("[CPB] will not be an agency or establishment of the United States Government. The Corporation shall be subject to the provisions of this section, and, to the extent consistent with this section, to the District of Columbia Nonprofit Corporation Act."); • CPB's Board members are not officers of the United States, and thus are not within the removal provisions of Article Il of the Constitution. See Id. at § 396(d)(2) ("The members of the [CPB] Board shall not, by reason of such membership, be deemed to be officers or employees of the United States."); • CPB Board members cannot be affected, controlled, or disturbed by the actions of the government. See Id. at § 398(c) (forbidding "any department, agency, officer, or employee of the United States to exercise any direction, supervision, or control over educational television or radio broadcasting, or over [CPB] ..."); Page 3 of 22 Case 1:25-cv-01305 Document 1 Filed 04/29/25 Page 4 of 22 • CPB Board members forfeit their membership in only one scenario, not present here. See Id. at § 396(e)(7) ("Members of the Board shall attend not less than 50 percent of all duly convened meetings of the Board in any calendar year. A member who fails to meet the requirement ... shall forfeit membership."); • The Act omits the typical statutory provision when creating a federal agency that the Board members serve at the pleasure of the President.

Note: This is not like any other "removal" case, not even from a multi-member board. CPB is a private corporation.

The lawsuit reflects that: It is not just the purportedly fired people suing; this is the entity & the whole board. The Corporation for Public Broadcasting is the lead plaintiff here.

Public media is a pillar of our communities — don’t defund it Public media is one of the few civic institutions that still commands broad trust in an age of division and disinformation.

Casually paying attention to this Cubs game while at work has been a ride.

OUR GOLD GLOVE LEFT FIELDER.

Here's the last 40 seconds of Bulls/Lakers. Insane ending.

Me, every time I order at a restaurant, according to my wife.
