Groundhog's Day is indecisive, but today is unambiguous. Pitchers and catchers have reported to Spring Training. It is declared. We shall have summer again.

Now that THAT's over... pitchers and catchers report in 3 days. Opening Day is only 44 days, 20 hours, and 40 minutes!

If someone gets this job can you ask them what Mrs. Met's maiden name was?
Getting the same disappointment from learning I'm too tall to be Mrs. Met that I got from learning I'm too old to be an air traffic controller. Didn't *think* I was going to pursue those career paths but still really sad to learn the doors are shut! sterlingmets.wd5.myworkdayjobs.com/en-US/Mets/j...

I have the utmost respect for Senator Kaine and Senator Warner but we do not need “coaching” on redistricting coming from a cuck chair in the corner. How about you all stay focused on the fascist in the White House and let us handle redistricting in Virginia. 10-1

Homeland Security doesn’t grasp the fact that the first Thanksgiving was about making “room at the table” for European “invaders.”

Brand new data:

Republicans blamed for the shutdown (+12) and for health care premiums going up (+28!!).

These are stunning numbers. Republicans aren't immune from the pressure this creates.

Time to press our advantage. Stand for what we believe in.
