Disgusting. If we still have a Constitution to protect, defend, and uphold, that same Constitution guarantees the right of those in the community to protest. If that's on hold, say it out loud. Make an announcement. Otherwise, go away.

😭😭😭 I mean, they COULD still go the QO route, but it’s not looking good for my guy here.
Per ESPN's Jesse Rogers, the Cubs have declined the 3-year option on lefty Shota Imanaga, who subsequently declined a 1-year, $15.25M option for 2026. That makes Imanaga a free-agent.
Cubs still have ability to offer him a 1-year, Qualifying Offer ($22.025M).

I really like Yamamoto. I like this photo even better because the team branding isn't too prominent. 😆

“We can affirmatively conclude that this imprint was not created by a rat," said Michael Granatosky, an evolutionary biomechanist at the University of Tennessee, Knoxville.
A team of researchers analyzed the anatomical dimensions of an infamous imprint on a Chicago sidewalk, sifting through photos and measuring mammal specimens in museum collections to put what they were seeing in context.
Their conclusion? The Chicago Rat Hole was not made by a rat.

I – like Trump and RFK Jr. – do not have a medical degree.
So, when questions surrounding medical treatments emerge, I listen to people who do.
I get my information from doctors and public health experts – and urge you to do the same.
