My heart is bursting, but I am so happy Milwaukee Brewers are 2 up in the World Series! #GoBrewers win for your neighbors in Milwaukie, Oregon.

Curt Hogg@cyrthogg.bsky.social

Final: Brewers 5, Rays 4 The Brewers are two wins away from their first World Series title. Aaron Ashby is a madman. They are 9-1 this postseason, with every game featuring high-wire drama. I hope your hearts can handle it.

My husband has said the same thing. "The prices of yesteryear are gone forever." I have to get it around my head that ground beef at $3.99 a pound is a bargain. #TrumpInflation is not going to change much. www.washingtonpost.com/business/202...

washingtonpost.comVoters angry about high prices may get little relief from the next CongressEven if Democrats win control of Congress on Nov. 3, lawmakers can do little about prices that are uncomfortably high -- and will stay that way even as the rate of inflation is expected to slow.

I also am a victim of a step father's abuse. My mom and I remained in speaking terms, but we always had a distance. I forgave her before her death to give her peace. I still have nightmares 63 years later. I stand with @amyactonoh.bsky.social . #GOPSupportsPedofiles

Fascinating that as even as other Republicans who long ago sold their souls to MAGA still have enough baseline political acumen to see how poisonous this is, Vance is completely oblivious. It isn't just that he has no principles, decency, or moral compass, he's also really fucking bad at politics.

I find it disgusting that the #TrumpAdministration would show a public killing of a terrorist live. It could backfire, this terrorist is paralyzed, in a wheelchair because of his injuries in being captured. This is the government making a "snuff film". www.washingtonpost.com/style/2026/1...

Tourism has dropped during this Administration. Who wants to visit when the "unwelcome flag" is waving over the White House. Canada is our friend. We are the bad guys here. #Trump is bad for America.

Senate Democrats@democrats.senate.gov

@rosen.senate.gov tried to pass legislation simply stating that Trump's trade war against Canada must end. Republicans said no. A drop in Canadian tourism. $3 billion less in U.S. spending. Hospitality workers losing shifts and tips. "This was 100% avoidable. None of this had to happen."

Trump is focused on the wrong things. Costs are skyrocketing, families are losing food assistance and health care. He's focused on ballrooms and reflecting pools and arches, not the needs of the American people. Via @captmarkkelly.bsky.social
