This Wall Street Journal article by Evan Gershkovich is worth bookmarking for anyone who still isn't taking Trump's love of Putin seriously. I really think it needs to be made an issue again in the midterms, just how horrifying it is to have a president in thrall to this www.wsj.com/world/russia...
Tracking Putin’s Most Feared Secret Agency—From Inside a Russian Prison and Beyond
The spy unit that arrested a Wall Street Journal reporter is leading the biggest campaign of internal repression since the Stalin era.

Really, really need big-city mayors to run their cities well instead of leaning in to "but Trump!!! But ICE!!!" to avoid actually running the city. (I am mostly talking about @mayorofchicago.bsky.social here since I feel like other cities' mayors are solid)

Two damn walkovers from your opponents during a freaking grand slam. That’s very normal.

Chilly handshake from Anisimova...where's the fellow-American hug?

Another puzzling flameout from Swiatek after a hard fought first set.

Struggling to hold on mentally to mini-setbacks in matches against her biggest rivals and the changes she’s made to her game under Wim Fisette seem to have set her two steps backward against big hitters.

Unwilling to adjust.

I have to leave the match here but, damn, Iga’s game has become rigid. No slices, no vollies, no droppers, no short balls. Sigh. She used to.

Iga taking her break giving us all way too long to hear them interact and ESPN showing all of it like a reality show is so weird so fucking weird

Blame Wim Fissette.

Iga not being able to return Rybakina’s immensely returnable second serve is very strange to watch (love this match so far though!) #AO

remember when she didn’t shake hands with the president of the WTA when she won year end championships because they previously banned her “allegedly” abusive boyfriend coach

Ice Queen’s outfit looks like she washed a white dress with a bunch of colored clothes and it came out stained blue and yellow.

Unforced errors are spreading in this Rybakina X Iga match like measles in a Southern U.S. state.

Iga’s team and their corporate hats always crack me up #AO

Ew. #AO

I have like no idea what to expect from this match. I saw Iga beat down Elena in Cincinnati but Iga also seems to have forgotten how to serve?

Swiatek-Rybakina match update: Caroline Wozniacki just confused Rybakina with Anisimova. This commentary is off to a great start! #AO

Without downplaying the horrors of Minneapolis, I keep wondering how many people realize that the exact scenes happening there also happened in Chicago this fall. Even the horrifying shootings of Alex Pretti and Renee Good happened in Chicago (Silverio Villegas González)
Video from this morning shows ICE agents deploying tear gas outside a Minneapolis preschool as parents shout, “This is a preschool! There’s kids here!”

I still think about the Mainers in 2020 voted Biden/Collins instead of Sara Gideon, who was a perfectly good Dem candidate. Maybe their brains are too full of lobster roll to function properly
Happening now*: Maine religious leaders are staging a protest at Sen. Susan Collins' office, demanding she "use her power to end funding to ICE and put an end to their campaign of terror."

*It may have just ended — the video cuts as police arrived. www.facebook.com/watch/live/?...

If U.S. athletes are going to start speaking out, I hope they will start ending their statements with "please vote Dem in the midterms." We all know why this is horrible; if they won't mention Trump by name, at least mention the midterms
