Congratulations to the 35 million Americans who'll now have their healthcare premiums balloon to unaffordable levels, because these eight sellouts voted yesterday with Republicans to reopen the government. But hey, billionaires will get the tax break they want.🙄

Ruh-roh.😬 How could MLB ever have embraced betting and sports books? Did its leadership really think nothing bad would ever happen as a result? Was it naïvete, or greed?🤔

@nytimes.com Hey! What's the glitch with downloading the Saturday crossword on iPad? Since last night, I can't download it by tapping on the icon and can't download it on the archives. Restarting the device doesn't solve the issue either.🤦🏿😡 Please fix ASAP. Any other iPad users having this issue?

Based on this assessment, WTF would #Mets be interested in this guy at any level of the system? Why would we even spend money on acquiring him? Why not just give a tryout to an unhoused person on the street? Could that person pitch any worse than this guy? Seriously. Spare me the "depth" spiel.🙄
