3 months after announcing he would undergo a second shoulder surgery that would threaten his career, Brandon Woodruff is taking the mound in a World Series game for the Milwaukee Brewers.

Astonishing: Maxwell was willing to tell Blanche about some of Trump's rapes, and he ordered her not to. "Let's not talk about inviduals." WTF were they there to talk about? There's EVIDENCE on this.

Amanda Marcotte@amandamarcotte.bsky.social

This report is genuinely overwhelming, in terms of the evidence both against Trump and of a ham-fisted cover-up. Including one instance in which Ghislaine Maxwell was actually about to mention one of Trump's young accusers and Todd Blanche told her to stop talking. The media response is "yawn."

R’s are throwing everything possible piece of shit they can make up at the D’s in political ads right now. It’s pathetic, exhausting, and nauseating. Gotta ignore it all and show up to vote D folks.

So NYC shuts down an entire industry (horse drawn carriages) when a single individual tragically loses their life, but when children are killed at school, all we can do is trot around the issue that is enabled by the accessibility of guns. 🤨

So LIndsay Graham's sanctions bill on Russia passed 86 to 11 in the Senate. A veto proof majority. So Trump, who loves America and Democracy so much, wrote an "Executive Order" to get around that pesky Constitution. Yet I'm watching as we struggle to retake the House and Senate from a traitor. 🙄

If Biden had a Katie Zacharia this close to midterms, there would be wall-to-wall coverage of how incompetent the entire admin is, but since it’s a Trump admin, we all spend a week making the same jokes while Trump aligns the US with Russia. This admin is a circus on purpose.

The United States is actively helping Putin murder civilians in Ukraine. Trump is doing everything he can to force Ukraine to surrender to his friend and ally Putin so they can be subjugated by the Russians again.

DJT is a traitor.

This guy should not be on our roster. I don’t care if our running game sucks. Some things are way more important- like how you treat women! The inaction of the NFL and GB Packers organization make me sick.

This fuckass league, man. Since both parties in the case filed for it to be sealed, my money is on the NFL never getting the tape and him never seeing any further repercussions.

In early 2025, I assumed the Trump regime would delete the Department of Justice’s press releases and other statements related to more than 1,000 Jan. 6 cases. So I downloaded them. We’ve now made them available to the public with a search tool. They can’t erase history. jan6memoryproject.org

In spite of all the BS about transgender youth, why don’t we all stand up and demand that our elected representatives stand up for gun laws that would actually make schools safer for our children, teachers, administrators, and paraprofessionals? This has tragically been going on for a generation.

Three little kids and a teacher were shot and killed at their school today in Bend, Oregon. Two more were injured. Our hearts are broken and we’re angry. It’s disgraceful that extremists keep blocking critical, lifesaving laws while kids die in their classrooms. America can do better. It must.

Capitalism, yeah. 🤬

Shoe maker Steve Madden received $92 million in tariff refunds. After noting that it was “pleased overall with consumer acceptance of the price increases,” the company says it will use those tariff refunds to “pay down debt.” itep.org/trump-tariff...

I’m ok. Make no mistake: this is an attempt to target political enemies and weaponize federal law enforcement. For ten years, Trump has targeted me with baseless lies and smear campaigns. This is just the latest escalation in his campaign of political intimidation. I will not be silenced.

NOW: Minnesotans are rallying to protest today's outrageous, racist, politically motivated Homeland Security raid on congresswoman Ilhan Omar. Stop Trump's attacks on the Somali community!

Well, it’s a quick take, and no doubt data will come in, but it sure looks like based on today’s evidence that a lot of pro-Trump and pro-AfD bot work depends directly on Russian data centers.

As the article explains, she had reached out to Finstad for help but was turned away. The original photo shows me visiting her warehouse in April 2025 to listen to her concerns and hear her story, which Finstad refused to do.

This morning, another story broke calling out Brad Finstad for his latest ad, which used a fabricated photo to erase a local veteran and small business owner.

My opponent Brad Finstad refused to meet with a local veteran after voting to hurt her small business, then disrespected her again by fabricating a photo by removing her from it to score political points:

@jrradcliffe.bsky.social JR, shout out to the interview with your son on the MicroBrew pod. I’d call it adorable, but don’t tell him, there isn’t a freshman who really wants to be adorable in that way. Go get ‘em Brew crew. We don’t want any mopey boys around the house this week (that includes dad).

DJT is a traitor.

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.

Brewleive!

Final: Brewers 3, Padres 1 The best team in franchise history lives on. Milwaukee wins the NLDS, 3 games to 1, and did it their way. Battled at the plate and pitched their minds out. The first road playoff win in 13 tries. A rematch with the Dodgers awaits.

Recently unearthed records show that, in one set of trials carried out by the US Army, the electric shock gloves caused “overwhelmingly immediate” pain to soldiers in a mock forced cell extraction scenario, who then reported that “just seeing the glove” frightened them into obedience.

25 years ago today, the U.S. launched its war in Afghanistan. Weeks earlier, Barbara Lee was the only member of Congress to vote against the 2001 Authorization of Military Force, warning it would be a blank check for forever wars. History has proven her lonely and courageous vote right.

Data centers consume large amounts of power and require upgrading infrastructure. But it's difficult to determine how much residential customers benefit and how much they actually pay for the benefit.
