If I were the Rays, I'd sign Chandler Simpson to a seven- or eight-year extension. Nothing longer than that, though, because Simpsons aren't nearly as good after their eighth season.

Legitimately a dream to write something that inspires a reader to "go Martin Luther Mode."

@davidjroth.bsky.social the county Republican party (in Ohio) is in the same building that I work in, and I taped up part of your column to their door today, because you express your disgust much more civilly and coherently than I do, much thanks.

They killed two of my neighbors and are protecting the murderers. Every Republican asking for my vote should be asked what they will do about this.

Minnesota law enforcement officials say the federal government is again refusing to share evidence from the killings of Renee Good and Alex Pretti during Operation Metro Surge.

East Potomac costs $42 to play and hosts thousands of people each year. A lot of the players are beginners. A lot of them don't have that much money. A lot of them are black. This is the course Donald Trump has decided shouldn't exist, and in the past, he's been fairly explicit about why not

Bluesky I know you do not care about golf. But I am telling you that in this specific case, you SHOULD care about golf. I explain in @slate.com what the Trump administration is doing to East Potomac Golf Course in D.C. slate.com/culture/2026...

Trump on Camp Lejeune water contamination claims: "If we win the House and Senate, I am directing the Department of Justice to settle all remaining legitimate claims as soon as possible ... if we don't win, there's no money."

In the bedrock of my soul I know he started out thinking the press pool was a literal pool and has been seething with disappointment since he discovered the mistake

President Trump has pushed to move briefings out of the White House press room. Aides say he wants an indoor swimming pool instead. nyti.ms/4eoW3AV

😳 Trump loses it and SNAPS at a string of reporters, says Ilhan Omar might "go to jail," calls Somalia "a shit house," and boasts that thanks to a new program he announced today Americans "will make millions of dollars by turning others in" during absolutely deranged Oval Office event Supercut:

The generation that got to buy cheap houses thanks to a postwar construction boom, then blocked new housing construction to juice their asset values is now whining that they have to pay taxes on their unearned wealth. Just breathtaking selfishness.

There are only two reasons to frame it like this and neither of them are good.

There was a little over 1k murders committed in NYC in 1995, compared to a little over 300 last year. God knows where that number would be if Sax was still on the streets.

they’re updating the ghost from the ring so she haunts posts now. it’s this one: you have to repost this or else she’s going to climb out of your phone and kill you in seven days. and just because she’ll be a lot smaller now doesn’t mean she’s any less scary, or wet

Republican Rep. Andy Harris incorrectly told a reporter they were breaking the law as the reporter and others recorded an exchange with him last night. Harris had just wrapped up a debate with Democratic challenger Dan Schwartz.

I’m sorry, did a Republican candidate for U.S. Senate just ‘Won’t somebody think of the neo-Nazis?’ during a live TV debate?

i do not meaningfully care about this argument but my stance remains: i refuse to generate unpaid content for elon musk the child pornographer, and to model the behavior that lets elon's algorithm show me the optimal unpaid content he wants me to see. it's interesting that you want to do that though

It is, in fact, possible to impeach and remove President Trump from office next week. It won't happen, however, because Republicans also support Putin and Russia and agree with Trump.

Aaron Rupar@atrupar.com

Wow — listen to these new comments from Trump. Thanking Putin, trashing Zelenskyy, characterizing Russia as eager for peace and Ukraine as intransigent. The mask is totally off.

The first Russian diesel cargo heading for the US left St Petersburg on September 22, two weeks *before* Trump announced the deal with Putin, Windward reports. The Greek-flagged tanker Minerva Zen carrying 275,000 barrels of diesel/gasoil is due at the US East Coast around 11–12 October.

I am angry tonight. Because tonight ICE shot a New Yorker. They shot a New Yorker while his five year old child was in the car. ICE makes this city less safe. We want them out. Now.

You know what I don't see on the agent who shot a dad with a military assault rifle? THE BODY-CAM THAT THE TRUMP ADMIN HAS PROMISED TO PUT ON ALL ICE AGENTS.

Eric Umansky@ericumansky.bsky.social

See this ICE agent? He’s a holding a *military assault rifle.* And according to a witness, that‘s the agent who shot a man **while the man was in his car with his 5-year-old kid.** Also, I’m no expert, but i’m pretty sure it’s bananas to hold your phone in one hand & your ASSAULT RIFLE in another

The media's dilemma: should we cover that a guy contemplating how to dispose of Jews is cited by the VP as an intellectual influence or write another piece about vague connections between Democrats and Hassan Piker? 🤔
