This feels stunning, but the Brewers have been so much better than everyone else for nearly two years. Best records since 5/25/25: Brewers, 156-88 (.639) Dodgers, 144-100 Yankees, 142-102 Over a large sample, they’ve been baseball’s best team. It’s translated this year to smaller samples.

We’ve been over this before: Every Global 7500 that Bombardier builds in 🇨🇦 has 2 GE engines built in Indiana, 🇺🇸. Every Challenger that Bombardier builds in 🇨🇦 has 2 Honeywell engines built in Arizona. 🇺🇸. Bombardier employs 3,000+ 🇺🇸s & has 2,800 🇺🇸 suppliers. Not so smart.

Children worry their families can't afford food after Trump's SNAP cuts: In Delaware, an 11-year-old wondered why her family could no longer afford Cinnamon Toast Crunch. In New Jersey, four siblings wanted their mother to buy groceries — but she had to tell them she couldn't.

Just in case you feel like you need a nicely labeled photo of Peter Thiel’s hand picked neo-reactionary pseudo intellectual drivers of the ”dissident right" here are the young racist eugenicists. Although Yarvin, like his hero Rasputin is a bit long in the tooth.

For a brief moment, there was Congressional and governmental support to ensure that children didn't face deportation alone. Then the Trump administration moved to gut the programs, and tens of thousands of kids who have lawyers now may lose them, while hundreds of thousands more go without counsel.

America's Voice@americasvoice.bsky.social

"Nonprofits representing more than 24,000 unaccompanied migrant kids said they’re at risk of shuttering their programs once a federal government contract ends Friday... Immigration judges issued removal orders for more than 18,000 kids in June, a 73% increase from January"

I continue to be irate that “people can change” is shorthand for “we should make him one of the most powerful people in a US state”. We could maybe discuss either but THESE ARE TWO SEPARATE THINGS!

Another one: In January, a guy wrote an angry (but non-threatening) letter to former ICE chief Todd Lyons after the Good, Pretti killings. Last week, ICE agents tracked him down at the NYC hotel where he and his daughter were staying after returning from a vacation in Finland.

I’ll say it again: Donald Trump is the most corrupt president in history. His criminal friends get corrupt contracts, taxpayer-funded handouts, and literal get-out-of-jail-free cards. But everyone else gets higher gas prices, higher premiums, and higher rent. www.nytimes.com/2026/06/21/u...

The Trump administration's lawless slaughter at sea continues. The supposed armed conflict with "narco-terrorists" is make believe, but the illegal killing is very real. The term for premeditated killing outside of armed conflict is murder.

Watching a series of former Confederate states rush to eliminate any vestige of black representation in the House pretty much answers the question whether the Voting Rights Act was still necessary.
