The Indiana House of Representatives is expected to vote this morning on the redistricting bill backed by Trump. If it passes, the state Senate is expected to take up the measure next week. If you live in Indiana, please call your representative and let them know you oppose this.

A federal judge ruled that Trump overstepped his authority when he attempted to send National Guard troops to Portland, Oregon. The judge’s decision permanently prohibits such troop deployments. Thank you Judge Karin J. Immergut!

A 14-word replacement for most op-eds, substacks, etc about this moment.
The GOP could stop ALL of this, right now—if a handful of Sens or Reps could step outside the cult.
It would take four in the Senate, four (maybe five) in the House, to change history.
Until then, they're all to blame.

Cora reiterated tonight his belief that the Red Sox have "the best defensive outfield in the big leagues." By the numbers entering tonight, the Sox OF leads MLB in Statcast Runs Prevented (20) and OAA (22). FanGraphs has them first (by a lot) in DRS with 38.

Stunning turn here as Romy Gonzalez hits a grand slam to put the Red Sox in front 6-5.
Again, Rob Refsnyder hit a foul pop up that should have ended the inning. The Phillies let it fall in and now six runs have scored.

The number of times people have just flat out refused to believe me that even if Trump reverses right now you can’t just turn trade back on like a switch (and the tariffs have been in place for a month now - we’re not fixing this).
They genuinely think supply chain guys will just be able to fix it

It's honestly kind of insane how the last few months have been logistics companies and OEMs staring off into the distance at impending oblivion while the companies that use those services are in complete denial of what's going on and assume the tariff otaku will change his mind at the last second

Trump, 39%: proceeding “as expected”
At a hundred days into his presidency, Joe Biden had a 52% approval rating.
As we near the hundred days mark in his second term, Donald Trump has a 39% approval rating.
Here's how those numbers were framed by the media:
