Astros just DFA'd Urias.
Ramon Urias being an Astro is really going to bite the Orioles in the rear end the next few years when they have to play them. That trade was really unnecessary!

it's time for journos to start asking Johnson meta questions

"Speaker, on 5 occasions last week you said 'I haven't seen it' when asked about news events w/big implications for public policy. Do you ever read the news, and do you agree it's problematic for the Speaker to be so woefully uninformed?"

MAGA isn’t a political party.

It’s a last stand for people terrified of losing white dominance in a multiracial democracy.

Amazon is helping fund a $300 million build of a ballroom for the White House.

Independent bookstores are donating to food banks and organizations that help with food insecurity.

They are not the same.

Does it mean anything when a pitcher fondles the rosin bag too much?

AI from Google Cloud knows that 22% of pitchers play with a rosin bag enough to make you uncomfortable, and 6% of those pitchers have been arrested for misdemeanors or worse. All of them must report to Google's Reeducation Center.

A very incomplete list of things we wouldn't have done if we waited for the normies to care:

- abolish slavery
- child labor laws
- votes for women
- social security
- fdic
- welfare
- medicare
- medicaid
- desegregation
- women's sports
"normies do not care about this thing and so it is no use raising a stink" is imho just an excuse for not doing politics, which is the job of making normies care about something
