This person took this when they called the race

This is so fascinating. Just the possibility of NYC having a mayor squarely on the left has caused the Overton window to shift left to where Cuomo is the de facto Republican with the endorsement of Stephen Miller. Gotta be the answer, right?

A Confederacy of Toddlers The Trump administration is a regime of troubled children.

Trump’s voters have become like the members of the administration, delighting in the crassness and obscenity that pours out of the president and his circle whenever they are challenged. But policies suffer and the public is poorly served.

Donald Trump is telling the Republicans to "get tougher."

Get tougher on who? The woman with malignant melanoma?

Because he sure as hell isn't getting tougher on the billionaires he invited to his Great Gatsby party.

A Confederacy of Toddlers The Trump administration is a regime of troubled children.

“These are not the actions of mature adults. They are examples of crude people displaying their incompetence as they flail about in jobs—including the presidency—for which they are not qualified.”

I’m pretty sure I purchased this item for my son at the time. Verifying with him now.

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

That’s a very cleaned up Fetterman

Just stop tempting the cruel baseball gods.

This is a totally normal game for us.

Totally normal Mariners game. <yawn>

Mariners getting their revenge by forcing both teams to suffer what we sufferes

Moreover, ICE must be destroyed

Also "Give me your venmo I'll paypal you some shit you broke-ass bitch" should be on 100,000 protest signs tomorrow.

Here it is: the Trump Administration "draft proposal" to the University of California. Published bc faculty sued for its disclosure.

Its terms go beyond what Trump demands in similar compacts to other universities.

EVERYONE should read: faculty, students, admins, alumni.

A very offline cousin sent this to fam group chat. This story is breaking containment.

It was the easiest, one question, open book test in American history. And we are all suffering due to their failure. I will never forget, and never forgive the people who did this to us.

One billion times THIS. 🤬

platner himself becomes a stand in for a set of grievances and a figure of identification in an elite status game. the question of winning what is certain to be a difficult general election race is not even being discussed.

Kevin Durant booing the OKC fans booing him

An absolute crime against humanity that the city of Seattle only got one season with this man.

Evil. All of them.

Evil. All of them.

It Will Be Great For The World When These Monsters are Gone....

Liberals say that Trump has turned our democracy into a fascist dictatorship. They're wrong—he's turned our republic into a fascist dictatorship.

Pritzker: Throughout history we've learned that tyranny doesn't arrive with dramatic proclamations. Most times it comes quietly wrapped in the language of law and order, with fingers pointed at someone who doesn't look like you, promising safety while demanding that we sacrifice our neighbors.

That’s one of our go-to staples when the kids’ schedules make things tight.

Tim Walz: "Here's what I'd challenge Trump to do: find three soybean farmers who will stand with you and say that's okay. Just three. I challenge you to do that because you're not gonna find them."
