Everywhere I go, people are wearing Jays gear. People I know who have never watched baseball (me included) are staying up past midnight to for an 18th inning. The coffee shop has baseball donuts.

I know a lot of people talk about "Ken Griffey's swing", "John Olerud's swing" but for my money there is nothing more beautiful than Alejandro Kirk:
- 5'7 and built like a Welsh corgi
- basically drops halfway into a splits on each swing
- each swing is a Street Fighter "Shooooryuken" uppercut

It's not too much liquid
It's not too many different things at too big a number
It's not the size of this thing
It's not 80 different vaccines
None of this is true, but they will go after MMR based on this. The consequences are going to be massive measles outbreaks. Dead kids.

Trump: "It's too much liquid. Too many different things are going into that baby at too big a number. The size of this thing when you look at it. It's like 80 different vaccines and beyond vaccines."

Charlie Kirk’s death is awful and abhorrent but it’s appalling that the President is calling for national mourning for a right wing propagandist and hasn’t said a word about Officer David Rose or the brave employees at the CDC

They have self-inflicted a huge wound, and there are paths through politics to force change.
Our govt's job: through strategic and targeted retaliatory measures, in concert with allies, stick our fingers in that wound and make it hurt like hell. No quarter.

Half measures and delays won't work--there is way, way too much uncertainty that has been unleashed.
The word of the President & his team won't work--they are not credible.
The only option to eliminate uncertainty would be for Congress to pass a law by veto-proof margins.

Europe can’t rely on the strength of the transatlantic relationship to help contain Russia’s threat – it must lead from the front and be the true force of support that Ukraine needs. Not just for Ukraine’s sake, but for a free and sovereign Europe.

1) Adopt a war-effort approach to reorienting our economy away from the US. Treat this as the existential emergency it is, with the federal gov't invoking POGG powers if necessary. 2) Call on our NATO & other allies to condemn Trump's threats against us, and to affirm their Article 5 commitment. 1/n

The problem with calls for “discourse,” is that MAGA isn’t interested in an exchange of ideas. It wants to leverage the rules of polite to destroy discourse. It wants to walk in, shout us all down, spit lies, and thumb their noses at us.
Shout “if you’re so tolerant why don’t you tolerate my hate?”
