Now why would an unmarked Toyota Prius with blackout windows be going through a private parking lot (LA Fitness) reading license plates? #ICE perhaps?!

NEW AD: “Ken Paxton says I don't have his experience — and he's right. I’ve never been indicted for fraud. I’ve never been reported to the FBI for bribery. I’ve never been impeached by my own party. And I’ve never given a sweetheart deal to a pedophile.”

It took over 11 minutes to fill-in the circles on this sizable 66-item ballot. I recommend voting early because the lines on election day will not be short!

When you see ICE in the streets, tell them how you really feel. It's our first amendment right and if you don't vote this November, you're not gonna have it for long.

Tonight, we got the July #Phillies (complete with a Trea Turner fielding error). TV's all over the Delaware Valley turned off at 10:30pm because we all knew that it was over. It was nice while it lasted.

Aaron Rodgers is a profoundly stupid man. Fauci is a hero. Rodgers hero is RFK Jr. He’s a colossal piece of Trump. The Steelers will fail with this aging fascist at the helm. I curse him and the Steelers and the Dodgers. I took Cursing 101 in college so I mean business.

"About 10 days after the postseason ended, Harper went to work. He’d usually take a full month to rest. “He got me started way earlier,” Harper said of (trainer) Wallen. “But he did a good job of keeping me going. I appreciated that" #phillies

nytimes.comWhat is Bryce Harper thinking? On baseball, boredom and being a kid, again, in the WBC"I still have a lot to prove to myself," said Harper, one of this generation's greats. It feels like something larger is at stake in 2026.
