I know this trade is a means to an end and there will almost certainly be more moves coming that will make it make more sense -- but dammit, I loved Brandon Nimmo and I will miss him and his infectious hustle. He was a true Met. 😢 #LGM #MetsSky

We’re about to invade Venezuela because trump wants their oil. No other reason. The airspace has been cleared. Embassies are being evacuated. Flights are being canceled.

He’s going to kill people for oil.

A Baptist lady named Ada ran a convalesce out of the house next to my grandparents, taking in poor, sick people who went to her church. She also helped raise my mom and her 15 siblings. Her recipes are always made to have some to give away. This is an ancient, very humble coffee cake.

My dog just made me take her outside so she could get a stick to bring inside to play with. She is currently playing with it right next to a basket of about 30 toys she never touches.

Not that it matters, but I’ve found one thing that the Trump administration is doing that seems to make sense? Doesn’t really matter but makes me feel like I’m capable of some objectivity? www.theguardian.com/environment/...
Inside Trump’s scramble to reduce US dependence on Chinese rare-earth metals
The White House has made it a top priority to return the rare-earth industry to US shores. But is it really feasible?

My friend @drannieandrews.com will be Lindsey Graham's opponent.
She is a pediatric surgeon who has performed spinal surgeries on children, running against a grownup with no spine. Dr. Andrews is poised to perform a full Lindsey-ectomy on the United States Senate.

Walmart, McDonalds and Amazon are the largest employers of people who require SNAP assistance.

The CEOs earned between 18-40 million last year, 1000x their median employee income.

They took billions in profits, while their workers relied on SNAP to survive.

Wanna fix fraud and abuse?

Fix that.

“According to a 2019 USDA report, every dollar in new SNAP benefits increases GDP by $1.50 in a weak economy.”

“SNAP benefits are one of the fastest, most effective forms of economic stimulus because they get money into the economy quickly during a recession.”

I would not be surprised at all if this “ballroom” turns out to be some kind of arena for UFC fights and other Inhumane spectacles.

Today, the White House Press Secretary told the country that this ridiculous damn ballroom is “the president’s main priority”…not reopening the government, not lowering the cost of groceries, not lowering the cost of housing, not lowering the cost of healthcare….building a ballroom

Fun fact (or terrifying one), today’s AWS outage took down Canvas, the #1 learning management system used by 4,000+ U.S. colleges and millions of students worldwide. One data center hiccup and half of higher ed disappears.

Instead of mascots, England and Wales take to the field with 22 men and women who are living with Alzheimer's disease or dementia ❤️

The players will also wear shirts without names in the second half to help raise awareness 👏

Keep taking videos of what ICE is doing. @govpritzker.illinois.gov is right, document what’s happening. This is why they hate journalists so much.
