Can someone please write a lighthearted romcom role for @JaredHarris, or at least something with a happy ending? He’s one of my favorites, but always seems to meet the same fate! #AHouseOfDynamite
Lifelong @tigers fan, pulling for the @Mariners in this series…. but love seeing vintage @Max_Scherzer in this game.
"If we learn anything from this miserable era of American politics, I hope we learn that complying with the Constitution is necessary — but not sufficient — if we want to preserve our Republic. Constitutional powers are subject to abuse, and Trump is abusing both his pardon power
Just gonna suggest that maybe keeping sports betting illegal for baseball’s first 150 years was a good idea
Emmanuel Clase has thrown 22 pitches this season with a 0-0 count with the bases empty outside of the Gameday strike zone. Of those, I've classified 11 of them as "uncompetitive." Here is a look at all of them.
The United States strongly rejects @EmmanuelMacron’s plan to recognize a Palestinian state at the @UN general assembly. This reckless decision only serves Hamas propaganda and sets back peace. It is a slap in the face to the victims of October 7th.
A home run “swing-off” to end the @MLB #allstargame2025 is ridiculous. Awarding the Ted Williams MVP to a guy who hits three coach-pitched balls out is an insult to the Splendid Splinter.
Most Americans don't know how much American blood is on Iranian hands. Iranian-backed militias took a terrible toll on our unit in Iraq. It is in our interests just as much as Israel's to block Iran's march to a bomb.

The events in Syria offer a clear example of why Ukraine needs the unwavering support and confidence of our partners. Everyone sees the importance of Ukraine and the war of Russia against Ukraine. The fall of the Assad regime wasn’t just the result of the strength of opposition
The Syrian Regime Collapsed Gradually—And Then Suddenly - The Atlantic theatlantic.com/international/…
At long last, the Assad regime has fallen. The fall of this regime is a fundamental act of justice. It is a moment of historic opportunity for the long-suffering people of Syria to build a better future for their country. It is also a moment of risk and uncertainty.
Africa’s success is and will be the world’s success. The United States is all in on Africa’s future.
Ukraine. Our land. Given by God. Kissed by the sun. Rocked by the winds. Tempered by fire. Defended by its sons and daughters. It cannot be mistaken for anything else. It can never be given away to anyone. Happy Independence Day of Ukraine!
