#Mets win when they get good pitching and hit long balls. I'll believe they're for real this season when they can win against good pitching without hitting homers. Like stringing a bunch of hits together. Because that's likely what they'll need to do if they make the playoffs.

The #Mets are so consistent in their inconsistency.

Cam Skattebo is a nice pick, but hey NY Giants brass, that OL is STILL the weakest link on the team.

Last night was the 250th anniversary of Paul Revere's midnight ride to warn the Minutemen of approaching British troops.

I want to take a moment to share an excerpt from the Declaration of Independence's grievances against King George III.

Remind you of anyone?

100 billionaire families spent $2.6 billion in the 2024 election.

70% of these donations went to Republicans.

Now, Republicans in Congress are gearing up to slash essential programs to pay for another round of tax cuts for the rich.

This is what oligarchy looks like.

I may be tired and a little hoarse, but as I said again and again on the Senate floor, this is a moment where we cannot afford to be silent, when we must speak up.

I got laid off today, with the rest of 18F.

18F was an elite federal software shop. We made gov't websites work better, more efficiently for the American people. We saved taxpayers from getting screwed over by contractors. And were fired for it.

We made this website to tell our story:

To the feckless, Democratic consultants, here’s a free one: buy a billboard highlighting Musk cutting the veterans suicide hotline program and have it placed across the street from Pete Hegseth’s favorite bar.
I've noted some of the procedural things Democrats could be doing in Congress, but this point from @edgeofsports.bsky.social's great piece in the Nation deserves emphasis.

This is basic politics, and it's baffling that every Democrat isn't doing it every day.

But if the Yankees had signed Soto to a massive contract, it would be the greatest contract in the history of baseball, right?
#Metssky #Mets ##LGM
I polled employees from all 32 MLB teams and they unanimously voted Juan Soto the worst free agent contract of the offseason.

*Note the employees polled range from janitors to concession workers and even as high up as ticket sales reps.

I don't know who needs to hear this, but President Biden is NOT in the White House any more... the three-ring shit show America is witnessing now is 100 percent the result of putting a fucking convicted felon CLOWN and his cowardly cohorts in the White House.

Tesla's stock is ridiculously overvalued, and even a modest consumer boycott could tank the company, which accounts for the majority of Elon Musk's wealth.

If Donald Trump follows through on his promised tariffs, the United States will likely trade much, much less with other countries. But what about the rest of the world?
What’s Left of Globalization Without the US?
Many countries will make up for lost US trade by trading more with each other.
