One Riot, One Ranger - Wikipedia

The Texas Rangers, the only @mlb.com club to not host a Pride Night, rolled out a “new” statue at the ballpark today…a statue removed from Dallas Love Field due to the problematic (read: racist) history of the man it was modeled after. I’m so done with this team.

Same thing as Trump walking up behind your kid & shooting him in the head. Fuck him & fuck you if you justify Trump’s killing spree in Iran in any way. Dems & journalists doing this, have some fucking dignity, you absolute mollusks.

Kash Patel’s use of jet delayed FBI team’s mass shooting response, whistleblower tells top senator Sen. Richard Durbin says FBI director’s “misplaced priorities” led to the delayed response to the Brown University shooting in December.

Breaking MS NOW:

Agents with the FBI's elite evidence response team were delayed in reaching the scene of a mass shooting at Brown U. in December because there was no FBI plane available.

Kash Patel was in south Florida at the time with one of the FBI's two available jets.

Looked away from the game for 2 minutes to get caught up on the Mexico situation…and missed the second Eze goal. Maybe I should wander away again.

Just a clarification: the part about “hearing all will be canceled” is coming from coworkers at an airline ops center (I’m off today). That’s not set in stone, but with an alleged attack on GDL, there’s a pretty solid chance no one wants to send their planes down that way until things settle down.

It is shocking how quickly one of the biggest benefits of U.S. higher education, the ability to recruit the best students from around the world, is eroding.

Is there any time, place, or context in which a government hanging enormous banners of the Leader’s face was not a sign of a diseased and authoritarian society? Because I certainly can’t think of one.

Since the FCC and CBS didn’t want you to watch this, you probably should.

And, if you live in Texas, this is your reminder that early voting for the primaries started today.

ICE says federal agents appear to have lied about confrontation that led to shooting

ICE says federal agents appear to have lied about confrontation that led to shooting

Agents had initially said that two men — Alfredo Aljorna and Julio Sosa Celis – assaulted them with a broom and a shovel before one of them shot Sosa Celis. But that account was quickly called into question, and prosecutors now say “newly discovered evidence” contradicts the officers’ story.

The default assumption should be that they’re lying
