I'm old, but Mike Torrez is still before my time, I didn't recognize his name either. (Won 20 games in his lone season with the O's... I should have heard of him)
The fact that I remember this so well is really showing my age
He was dreadful early in the season. A good 2nd half saved his stats but the team was done by then. Basically the reverse of 2024 Kimbrel
I'm jealous. His tenure with the O's is something I wish I could forget
indiscriminately bombing Iran is not a distraction of the Epstein files, it is a validation of their significance as more than a sex pest hunt. this is what elite impunity for morons looks like. a school turned to rubble on a whim.
Gary Thorne on the call is the cherry on top of this
The president claims that his occupation of DC made the city safer. Experts say it did nothing of the sort.
“Virtually everything the administration is doing is pro-crime.”
These words by Supreme Justice Gorsuch should be printed, in full, on tomorrow’s front pages.
Just realized how many lawyers they're going to need in the US Court of International trade, it's going to be fishing with dynamite for plaintiffs seeking to recoup tariffs paid IMO. Say it with me now, they have run out of lawyers.
I thought this was a Walgreens ad
Tragically, there is now considerable evidence that the administration is violating the Eighth Amendment at scale.
A desperate plea sent to me by a Minneapolis resident who's been on the front lines since the beginning of the ICE occupation:
go off jack white
No joke: I got angry hate mail today for writing an obituary of a Black woman scientist—because the person felt she did didn’t deserve the recognition.
Which just makes me want to share it again: www.nature.com/articles/d41...
I was just denied entry to the Dilley detention facility while my constituent, seven-year-old Diana, remains inside.
What kind of sick, horrific conditions are children being forced to endure in there?
I will be back tomorrow. Accountability can’t wait.
The frustrating thing about losing out on Valdez is that the team has shown they aren't willing to draft top level pitching talent, so if they aren't willing to sign to pitchers, it's hard to see how we will ever have one.
Spitballing/bargaining stage of grief: A “Washington Banner” outlet, spun off the successful Baltimore Banner and taking advantage of its backend, built out of laid off Washington Post Metro and Sports staffers and funded via a mixed nonprofit and subscription model…
Hard for me to overstate the impact the Washington Post sports section has had on my life.
My morning ritual of devouring the Orioles game recap and sidebar developed a love of reading and words that has shaped my life.
Very sad day.
Bezos isn't destroying the Washington Post because it isn't profitable. He's destroying the Washington Post because he's calculated that a robust free press threatens the ability of his class to warp society around their interests
The US immigrant population generated more in taxes than they received in benefits from all levels of government every year from 1994 to 2023.

“About 500 seniors live at Sinai Residences in Boca Raton, Florida, including many Holocaust survivors. Recently, some of them asked if they could hide the building’s Haitian staff in their apartments.” www.jta.org/2026/01/30/u...
For Liam.
Just visited with Liam and his father at Dilley detention center. I demanded his release and told him how much his family, his school, and our country loves him and is praying for him.
Trump take gun
HAPPENING NOW: A massive crowd is gathered in freezing temperatures outside ICE headquarters in DC to demand ICE OUT OF ALL COMMUNITIES NOW.
Pam Bondi just sent a letter to Minnesota officials saying ICE will leave if the state turns over its voter database to Trump.
Guess what? This has never been about safety or immigration. It’s a pretext for Trump to take over elections in swing states.
This martyr could be any of us. He is doing what so many of us have been trained to do. Standing and recording on his phone, trying to warn his neighbors, and now he’s dead because armed, masked federal paramilitaries are acting with impunity to perform ethnic cleansing.
