More from Passan: “The 23-page indictment against Emmanuel Clase and Luis Ortiz lays out the alleged scheme for the pitchers to intentionally throw balls so bettors could wager on pitches to be balls or strikes. It started, prosecutors say, as early as May 2023 with Clase and later included Ortiz.”
Breaking news per Jeff Passan: “Cleveland Guardians pitchers Emmanuel Clase and Luis Ortiz have been indicted by prosecutors in Brooklyn on a host of charges related to a scheme to rig bets on pitches thrown in MLB games. Ortiz was arrested in Boston earlier today. Clase is not currently in custody”

This from an Unpopulist piece really nails it for me: "The mad king behavior we might expect in a tinpot autocracy, the surreal insanity of an Idi Amin or Muammar Gaddafi, is now the reality of the United States government."

Sad that corporate media has allowed blatant lying to be the norm. I'm not sure the orange clown has said or tweeted anything actually true in years now. Absolutely everything is a completely ridiculous lie. $1.98 gas? Reopening Alcatraz? He is incapable of actual, factual truth.

Why does everyone keep saying that removing non white historical figures from government websites is a "DEI crackdown" or a "DEI purge"? C'mon - it is bald faced racist hate.
Colin Powell wasn't a DEI hire. The Navajo code talkers weren't DEI hires.
WTF? Why help them disguise blatant bigotry?

Call out to #Georgia folks re. SB74 that would allow #librarians to be charged with "a misdemeanor of a high and aggravated nature," to be fined up to $5000, and to be incarcerated for one year for “distribution of materials harmful to minors” if someone decides a library book is offensive to them.

As long as I live, I will never understand why America would rather elect a singularly worthless white rapist as president than an exceptionally impressive black woman.

I’d recommend everyone regardless of medical risk bring a mask on your airplane journey, a disinfectant wipe to clean the seat you’re in and hand sanitizer.
It’s going to be on you alone to protect your health.
Warning signs are everywhere.

the frenzy over the hunter biden pardon is a good reminder that the press knows how to make something a scandal and has decided that nothing trump does is truly deserving of that treatment
