The Orioles have swung a deal, trading away right-hander Grayson Rodriguez to the Los Angeles Angels for outfielder Taylor Ward.

Rodriguez hasn’t pitched in a major league game since midway through 2024.

Hello Keith this is your agent I’m advising you to keep posting
Btw about this from Lizza's reply: Olivia and I lived together for 4+ years (4 b'days, 4 Xmases, 4 anniversaries). That's like $1250 of jewelry per celebration. And her apartment was a writing studio. And I made an f-ton then. What was I supposed to do? Get her a lot of Gift Certificates from Kmart?

NEW: When Andrew Tate landed in the US, Customs & Border Protection seized his electronic devices. But @propublica.org found that a White House official told DHS to return the devices, emphasizing that the request came from the White House.

Q: You had dinner with Nick Fuentes at Mar-a-Lago a few years ago. What role should he play in the conservative movement?

TRUMP: I didn't know he was coming and he was with as you know somebody -- Kayne. Kayne asked if he could have dinner and he brought Nick. I didn't know Nick at the time.

AT 6’5 275 POUNDS HE HAS THE FASTEST AVERAGE GET OFF OF ANY PLAYER TODAY
According to NextGenStats, Myles Garrett has an average get-off of 0.60 seconds today.

To put that in context, the fastest average by any player this season is 0.73 (It's Myles Garrett lol)

Ah yes, now I remember Professor Jerome Barron teaching me at GW Law about Justice Cardozo's "Signature Policy" exception to Article 1 of the Constitution. All lawyers know this, of course.

Stop calling MTG a "voice of reason." She's acting like any cult leader who's been pushed out from an internal power struggle. She's promoted Sandy Hook as a hoax and Jewish space-laser conspiracies. She is nothing less than a complete loon, whom no one should take seriously.

i really truly wish any of the epstein furore was caused by a genuine concern for cruelty for teenage girls, for exploited kids. it would be a different country if it was, of course, but the discourse is sometimes jarring

No one will ever sum up Bari Weiss's career more succinctly than "what's the point of standards"
“Standards will be eliminated or severely cut back. Bari has told people that she wants to get rid of standards and is shocked that they have so much power. She asks ‘What’s the point of standards?’
