@mariners.com I’ve watched and observed. It is clear that the Little League Baseball World Series is better baseball than the Mariners right now. At least their mistakes can be attributed to youth and lack of an expensive payroll.

@govandybeshear.bsky.social Please assume Mitch McConnell is fully incapacitated and schedule a special election. Do not let Republicans run out the clock.

Canada is moving on, and that is nothing to celebrate. open.substack.com/pub/american...

@mariners.com who is in the booth with Goldy?

Best description I’ve read yet. substack.com/@tomwellborn...

@mariners.com could you PLEASE STOP putting Buhner in the booth for Texas games? He is just a babbler. Bring Angie back!

@mariners.com Want to compliment Goldie and Angie. This is a great broadcast team. I like that they are not excessively partisan, and I get to learn about the ballplayers from the opposing team as well as the Mariners. I have listened to other teams’ broadcasters and do not think they’re as good.

@marcelias.bsky.social are you aware of any organizations doing legal work (and organizing) around a re-write of the Constitution? It is getting increasingly hard for me to see how we can continue as a nation under this constitutional framework that is failing.

Yep. We’re in trouble.

Our founders, though deeply flawed, understood that democracy requires an informed citizenry and a government accountable to it people. That’s why the press is the only profession protected by the Constitution. It’s also why autocrats and oligarchs seek to control and destroy it.

The MAGA soul is no more. If it ever existed.

Yes.

Bovino is just the patsy - a noxious and odious fall guy. Stephen Miller is the architect and prime mover of the whole thing. Everything they do is at his direction - often after his threats. As long as he runs policy in the WH, nothing will change no matter how many Bovinos come and go.

Idly wondering whether anyone else is wondering how Mitch McConnell and John Roberts are viewing the situation in Minneapolis.

It's really too bad the United States Congress no longer exists.

Gov. Walz to MS NOW: "Two days ago it was Elissa Slotkin. Last week it was Jerome Powell. Before that, Mark Kelly. Weaponizing the justice system … is a dangerous, authoritarian tactic. "The only person not being investigated for the shooting of Renee Good is the federal agent who shot her."

Robert B. Hubbell writes a daily newsletter (on Substack) that is invaluable in giving an informed overview of our deluge of news. He includes links to his news sources. There are few sources that are better than his. Today’s edition was good. open.substack.com/pub/roberthu...

@hakeem-jeffries.bsky.social Leader Jeffries: there should be NO DEMOCRATIC votes for DHS or ICE funding while what is happening in Minnesota is happening. You should be clear about this in your public communications.

@schumer.senate.gov Senator Schumer, there should be no funding for DHS or ICE while what is happening in Minnesota is happening. You should be clear about this. Your voice counts. Please be the Senate leader we need.

This. 👇🏼👇🏼

"two first-rate economists, David Cutler and Ed Glaeser, have made a stab at estimating the impact of cuts at NIH. Their analysis suggests that these cuts might save $500 billion in federal spending over the next 25 years — while imposing more than $8 trillion in losses."

Yep. The gene pool is predictable, if shallow.

Read this. Nothing here I could even quibble with.

Darkness cannot drive darkness; Light can do that. Hate cannot drive out hate; Love can do that.” – Martin Luther King

Why are folks mad at the working mom with kids on Medicaid and SNAP rather than companies like Walmart that refuse to pay her a living wage and provide health insurance?

These are just MAGA wanna-be cops. Volunteering so they can use violence against the people they don’t like. Crazy that we are allowing this to happen.

Call me cautious, but I’m not optimistic about a war run by a reality TV show Commander-in-Chief and his TV talk show chatterbox Secretary of Defense.

So cool. You go, Idaho!
