The downside of a trick or treating w a two year old is it takes like two hours to go two blocks. The upside is they can’t count so you can steal most of their candy.

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

The thing about Johnson not swearing in Grijalva is that’s it a test for 2026.

If you think they will accept an outcome they don’t like, they will just Grijalva it.

So what’s the plan when the GOP says β€œwe ain’t leaving, fuck you, make us.”

Because that IS what they are going to say.

It was great being back in Norfolk to help get out the vote for @abigailspanberger.com for Governor.

Virginia – Abigail Spanberger cares about your freedoms, she will fight for your rights, and she will work every day to make your life a little bit better.

NBC's new poll say the most important issue for deciding who to support for Congress is: "Protecting constitutional rights/protecting democracy."

If you agree, I suggest you subscribe the news outlet that focuses like a laser on just that. Sign up for Democracy Docket today. hubs.ly/Q03M8rql0

me with a blue funnel like hat, with a stick out the top holding a red ball on a string. I have on a red capelet and am carrying a letter with calligraphy and a seal in my crooked beak. I've got a badge with a symbol on it

I think refusal to swear in Adelita Grijalva could be useful. Democrats - who should have expelled from Congress every January 6 planner on January 7 - should refuse to swear in those same folks when they have the majority in 2027.

Just say no, we won't be doing that, and move on.

One Halloween I dressed up as the GOP's Healthcare plan.

Even Skelly isn’t safe from tariffs The company that makes Skelly and other Halloween products for Home Depot has scaled back its customer support policies due to the ongoing trade war.

"SVI not only stopped sending free replacements, but it also shut down its phone and email support system and reduced the amount of parts they have available in their inventory for purchase, according to a separate announcement on the company’s website." www.marketplace.org/story/2025/1...

Genuine apologies. I don't mean to be disrespectful. But I don't know who this woman is. I believe she is a Fox News host, but when I Googled "woman Fox News host," everyone looked the same. So I don't know this person's name. 

Anyway, the photo shows a blonde woman wearing a checked sport coat and white shirt standing next to John Fetterman, who's wearing a dumpy black work shirt.

The president had a MRI but won't say why.

He had bruises on his hands but wouldn't say why.

He just had an 'annual medical' even though he already had his annual medical.

He got shot in the ear but has never released the medical records relating to it.

How is any of this ok?

The bottom line is that the GOP absolutely cannot be trusted to deal with any societal problem.

They lead with cruelty and focus exclusively on how to package private greed as public service.
