Bring back Pat Hoberg. Way too high stakes to be blowing multiple calls per at bat.

From a seperate incident in Chicago btw. My great Aunt, a nun, marched with civil rights protesters. If she were still with us, she'd be out there with this minister.

Programmers are practicing medicine without a license, and it's getting people killed. How are some of these execs not in prison?

This will absolutely lead to track divestment or abandonment in IL, MO, and IA. Don't kid yourselves for a second. Not to mention the thousands upon thousands of layoffs. It's a rotten deal for the country and shouldn't be approved.


Lol of course it doesn't. Can't even begin to count the number of coworkers who bragged about how great this would be.

The “No Tax on Overtime” bill excludes rail workers because we’re covered by the Railway Labor Act, not the FLSA. Same hours, same toll, no tax break.. @SenJackyRosen @SenCortezMasto: Support Amendment #2613. 200k+ rail workers shouldn’t be left out over a technicality. #NVSen

I think it's sadly only a matter of time until a lawful citizen gets into a shootout with masked men in no uniforms who jump out of a van and start chasing them. Totally reckless behavior.

ICE chase down & tackle U.S. citizen to the ground—because he "looked illegal." The agents in tactical gear slink away from the scene after realizing mistake. Their only explanation: "Why were you running?" Probably because 2 masked men with guns were trying to kidnap him.…

Just out teaching my daughter how this plot of federal USFS land would be much better off if sold to the highest bidder and everyday Americans could no longer access It for hunting, fishing, and camping like the generations before them @BasedMikeLee

The entire league owes Aliyah Boston a huge debt of gratitude for preventing this sucker punch. The consequences would have be catastrophic for everyone.

“You can’t ask for ‘radical empathy’ when the boots on the ground haven’t been given so much as basic respect.” There’s a lot of talk these days about building bridges between labor and management. About empathy, storytelling, and understanding one another’s pressure points. It…

Our small town volunteer ambulance had to ditch epi-pens bc of cost. We now have to draw up the correct dose via vial which takes time and introduces the possibility of errors. The government should buy/void the patent and mass produce these things along with insulin.

Shocked NJT let it get this far but I'm 1000% behind the @BLET. This job is dirty, dangerous, and robs years away from your family. The era of "essential worker" for non-essential pay and benefits is over.

Imagine there's no rail transit running between New Jersey and New York, in addition to a 54k-person Shakira concert happening tonight, and deciding to not run more transit service?



I'm very doubtful the railroad industry has the capacity to handle a large increase in demand. Thousands more jobs have been cut on the frontlines this year. It ain't gonna be pretty.

Shipping rates are about to explode, FYI. The second that the pause on Chinese tariffs is announced, every single company is going to rush to have their inventory sent out of China. There isn’t enough excess capacity to handle all this shipping at once. Here comes the 2nd…



I mean, clearly this should be a national historic site.

Love to see it #GoCubsGo

This was the Dodgers' worst shutout loss (16-0) since 1965, and their worst at home in franchise history, eclipsing their 15-0 loss in 1898 to the Pirates.

See for yourself:


I swear Dick Durbin needs to call it quits after this term. He'd be pushing 90 if he runs in '26.

Standard MLB behavior. Fire the best umpire in the league without a shred of evidence of wrongdoing while keeping CB around. Send Pat to ref basketball for a year and get him back behind the plate!
