At the same time the Trump administration is firing FBI agents and DOJ prosecutors who investigated the J6 insurrection, they are pardoning those directly involved in trying to overturn the election and organizing January 6th, and prosecuting the President's perceived political enemies.

POLITICO: “.. Among those who received the ‘full, complete and unconditional’ pardons were Rudy Giuliani .. Mark Meadows, .. John Eastman and Kenneth Chesebro, .. Boris Epshteyn .. and Sidney Powell ..”

Love to get a deal where I get some of the stuff back that the thief stole from me, where he promises me he won’t do it again (for at least a few months)

Literally, I will take three dogs, standing on each others backs, in a trench coat.

6 year terms allow Senators to act unaccountable. Undemocratic.

And also, specifically, as you said, tone deaf.

Tim Kaine is a bum.

If the terms of this “deal” are as reported, just while Trump is at his weakest in a year, than it’s hard to see how anyone pushing wouldn’t be primaried. But it could be that a bunch of retiring Senators who are taking point in negotiations want to pull a Sinema.

NEW: @govpritzker.illinois.gov's office says 3 masked ICE agents stopped & questioned an IL Department of Transportation employee working in Park Ridge about his immigration status & whether he had traveled to New York and his awareness of NYC Mayor-elect @zohrankmamdani.bsky.social before leaving.

Congress Accuses GMU President of Lying About DEI Efforts The GOP-led House Judiciary Committee accused George Mason University's president of lying about DEI practices and likely violating civil rights laws. He has denied the claims.

“The Committee’s unfounded accusations, dependence on clearly compromised sources, and selective presentation of ‘evidence’ represent an unprecedented abuse of congressional power—designed not to find the truth, but to silence leadership that refuses to yield to political pressure.”

And in that pause between pitch and contact - longer than logic, shorter than hope - we remembered why baseball existed long before we judged a sport's value by viral moments and betting apps. It is the romance of failure. The mortal beauty of trying and missing seven times out of 10 and still being considered great. It is the only sport where patience is a weapon, and panic the surest death. You cannot simply run out the clock in baseball; you must face it, pitch by terrifying pitch, until it finally releases you.

Did not expect one of the best paragraphs I’d read about baseball would come from an Irish newspaper

Game 7’s are lot less miserable when it’s not your team in them.

If after the average projected margin of victory is wrong on Va Gov, all pollsters will be used as fuel on the Snowpiercer.

Trump Boat Bombings Worsen as New Horror Shakes Experts: “Alarm Bells” Remember the Southern Command admiral who resigned two weeks ago? Hill Republicans haven’t heard from him—and they don’t apparently want to.

News on Trump boat bombings --> Rep Adam Smith, top Dem on Armed Services, tells me GOPers are failing to press for testimony from the top Pentagon official who recently resigned, potentially over the strikes.

Appallingly, we may never hear from him.

Hell yah

There’s nothing too crazy for these folks

Screenshot of Media Matters article headline that reads: “CBS Evening News fails to cover Trump's pardon of cryptocurrency executive with ties to Trump business venture. CBS' counterparts NBC, ABC, and PBS all covered the story on their Thursday evening news shows”

CBS’ evening news program failed to cover Trump's pardon of Binance founder last night — while its counterparts all did.

It’s actually good. You’re a human stud finder.

In a test of my diet, I ate 5 stuffed crust pizzas for dinner.

BAR, babies above replacement

Between this and the AI virgin article, GMU Econ department having a normal one.

I’d have wrapped her in bubble wrap until round 1 personally.

not good not good not good

Not great timing. Not sure I would have prioritized this game over health into the playoffs.

I assumed it was knee to knee on the replay but her screaming on the sideline makes me think otherwise.
