Mark Prior is on the Dodgers staff? They should allow the coaches to pitch in extra innings.

We're now up to 31 runners left on base in this game.
Plus 7 runners thrown out on the bases.
So if I'm doing this math right, and my brain is half fried, that's 38 runners who HAVEN'T scored?
Seems hard.

In all the chaos, I would urge folks to remember that a lot of folks now don’t know when their next check will come.
The vast majority are good people who love this nation deeply, and many of them are still working despite not knowing when they’ll be paid
Have compassion.

Allowing one party to control the media narrative because they’re loud and dumb is absolutely ruining people’s understanding of how anything works.

Trump/MAGA are trying to gaslight us into believing that anti-Jimmy Kimmel America is vast and deep, that MAGA's grip on the culture is unshakable, that mobilization is futile.

This is true. White Houses lean hard on CIA to produce the results they want. (I saw this with friends I had there when Yeltsin was in power and Clinton and Gore did not want to hear anything about how Yeltsin and Russian democracy could be in trouble.)
But there's more to it.

Mostly agree with number 1, but I really wonder about Cheney. He was leaning *hard* on the analysts to draw certain conclusions, and it’s been reported that he was avid consumer of raw intelligence. It’s plausible he knew how thin some of the reporting was, like Curveball.

All Jackson needs to say is that Trump will live to 300 and he could become the first Fleet Admiral since Chester Nimitz
Trump officials have restored Ronny Jackson's military rank, after his Biden-era demotion from rear admiral to captain.
Democrats say they’re aghast
“The sacrosanct uniform code of military justice is now the uniform code of Trump,” former Rep. Jackie Speier told me. The code is “now meaningless.”

Never heard of this specific NYT reporter until today, but she's already going on the block/mute list based on this alone.
Wild when New York Times reporters are or are not allowed to opine.
If you think antivax lunatic RFK Jr. "makes good points" about COVID and vaccination, you can say so.
If you think the Trump administration's egregious rights violations are bad, you keep that out of the paper, don't be biased.

Heck, I'm just working on how to emigrate/get out of this sinking ship of a country while I still can. I'm going to stay home and keep my head down until then.
Project 2025 did NOT anticipate Black people staying home like we are now.

most of white America is so busy flailing and accusing us of being selfish,
y’all don’t even see how our strategy is keeping you safe.
