Opinion | What is America’s best sports city? Nine compete for the crown. Grit, glamour and green energy define some of the nation’s top sports towns.

“Say you want to root for a spendy clubhouse with a storied history of 27 World Series titles? The Yankees will be happy to have you. Do you instead prefer to suffer endlessly watching a charming band of misfits? The Mets have you covered.”

@popville.bsky.social Any word on when the Dead Rabbit Irish Pub will be opening their DC location? It was supposed to be this year, I believe.

Opinion | The Playbook Used to ‘Prove’ Vaccines Cause Autism (Gift Article) Data can easily be manipulated to show causation that doesn’t exist.

RFK Jr. is stacking the research on causes of autism with discredited “science” and “researchers.” Here’s the playbook and how to counteract it. www.nytimes.com/interactive/...

I live in Washington, DC. This is what you need to know about the police state takeover of our city. www.facebook.com/share/1CaeJk...

@barredindc.bsky.social Any word on when Dead Rabitt will open it's DC location? It was supposed to be this year, I believe.

Yes

Soto was player of the month in June, and is putting up great numbers in July.

So proud of ACP and the other leading physician groups for standing up for patients, #vaccines, science and evidence. Too many others have stood down when faced by this administration’s assault on public health. wapo.st/4nzohf9

Pride is not just a celebration—it’s a declaration. A declaration that queer and trans people exist, have always existed, and will not be erased. It is rooted in resistance: against the closet, against the shame, against the quiet compliance that systems of power demand.

Sure, let’s dissect the mental and physical acuity of the former president who sought to make lives in America better while minimizing the reality of a deranged arsonist dismantling the country we’ve known and loved. What a failure to meet this moment.

Just listened to the Hur interview tape
and I’m utterly appalled at all the incoherent and crazy things Biden said about Revolutionary War airports, injecting bleach, people eating cats and dogs, Hannibal Lecter, and Arnold Palmer’s penis. Simply unbelievable that he ran for president again.

Snopes.com The definitive Internet reference source for urban legends, folklore, myths, rumors, and misinformation.

I say this even though I agree with the sentiments expressed in the quotes. The Pope’s credibility is undermined when people, presumably well meaning, attribute quotes to him that he never said.

It’s always a good idea to check Snopes.com before reposting quotes attributed to famous people.

No evidence Pope Leo XIV said, 'You cannot follow both Christ and the cruelty of kings' Social media users jumped to conclusions over a quote circulating online.

I admire Pope Leo and have faith that he will serve with compassion, especially for the most marginalized. But be careful reposting quotes being (falsely) attributed to him.

Let’s let Pope Leo speak for himself.

How about this for diversity and inclusion: we have our first #Creole Pope. 🙏🙏🙏

Pope Francis’s "Urbi et Orbi" Easter speech:

“How much contempt is stirred up at times towards the vulnerable, the marginalized and migrants...I appeal to all those in positions of political responsibility in our world not to yield to the logic of fear which only leads to isolation from others.”

Pope Francis, who reached out to the margins of society, has died at 88 The pope was a strong advocate for the poor and the environment and a towering figure on the world stage, addressing not just Catholics but the men and women of our time.

Column | Jackie Robinson’s Dodgers visiting Trump’s White House? For shame. The Dodgers’ visit to Trump’s White House, eight days before baseball will lionize Jackie Robinson, is nothing short of blasphemous.

The Dodgers are dishonoring Jackie Robinson today. Shameful. www.washingtonpost.com/sports/2025/.... @mlb.com @baseballamerica.com @dodgersbot.bsky.social @dodgersdigest.bsky.social

“If the S&P 500 closes … where futures are right now, it will be the biggest three-day selloff in 38 years, a faster drop than any during either the global financial crisis in 2008 or the Covid-19 panic in March 2020…This one has been actively caused by the president.”

Elon Musk’s Epic Cybertruck Fail Elon Musk’s polygonal pickup is a polarizing sales flop that's missed the billionaire’s volume goal by a staggering 84%. And there’s no sign that things are improving.

Here's some good news to start your morning. #Musk #MuskFail #Tesla #TeslaTrucksSuck #CyberTruck

Yesterday was a good day for democracy. Wisconsin voters soundly repudiated Musk's (and Trump's) efforts to buy the state Supreme Court, instead re-electing Susan Crawford to maintain a progressive majority.
