The Cardinals, in response to home-plate umpire Doug Eddings telling rookie Hancel Rincon to fix his hat last night, all wore tipped caps in their dugout tonight. The Rockies did, as well, after Eddings claimed Hunter Goodman asked for Rincon to fix his hat, something Goodman strongly denied.
Accountability for the wealthiest people on Earth is hard to come by. Thank you for believing in the power of independent journalism to accomplish it. (And, yes, more to come.) www.pablo.show/p/it-happened

Dear media organizations: Pete Hegseth is not something-something-opposing DEI. He is discriminating against Black and female members of the military. Openly. Get it right.
In the warning letter, sent by Maj. Gen. (res.) Yair Golan through attorneys Giora Erdinast, Almog Gil-Or, and Yarden Shohat of EBN Law Firm, Netanyahu is demanded to publish a public and unequivocal apology within 24 hours
The correct Democratic position on every issue is “I will undo everything Donald Trump has done, I will destroy everything he has built, and I will impose consequences on him and everyone who helped him do it.” No negotiation. Rip it all down.
Ben Gvir is an evil racist asshole.
Ben Gvir posted this video on twitter today which shows fat and happy Palestinians on a conveyer built going through the Israeli "prison" (torture camp) system and coming out emaciated and maudlin. This is textbook genocidal content.
This is such bullshit. I was going to say “unbelievable”, but nothing the Bibiniks do to try and preserve power is unbelievable.
WATCH: Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu is being "bullied" by the political opposition, according to a video campaign the Likud Party released on Sunday. www.jpost.com/israel-elect...
Like, the reason the Jewish community is scared of the left turn in Democratic politics, when historically they basically have *been* the left flank of the party, is entirely because they see what the pro-Palestine camp tolerates being said about Jews in their spaces
Objectively extremely funny when your reaction to being criticised for flagrant antisemitism is to insist that everyone who criticises you has been bought by the Jews
Piker's response to Jeffries suggests he thinks it's okay to harass or attack zionist Jews as long as it's because they're zionists. The obsession of some folks with the "conflation" of zionism and Judaism really looks more and more like they're annoyed to acknowledge Jews and our opinions.
No baby boy, we don't need Republicans to point out your anti-Semitism when you have it on full display every time your lips move.
Antisemitism on the political left matters to me precisely because that is my political home. I don’t feel the need to constantly point out antisemitism on the political right BECAUSE MY GOAL IS TO BEAT - and one of reasons is their view of Jews. But I don’t live in their world.
As a day school and summer camp parent, I mean, this is infuriating - not because of what he says, but because so many people are pretzeling themselves in defending him.
fwiw this is Hasan Piker on that same seven hour stream about five minutes before the other thing, and it would be super helpful if people generally and Piker specifically could avoid describing all Jewish summer camps and day schools as propaganda centers for a monstrous war
The astonishingly stupid thing about this is that, well, a majority of Israeli voters aren’t Zionists
Dolly Parton did all the good she could, for all the people she could, for as long as ever she could. From her legendary songwriting to the Imagination Library—which sent 1 million books a month to children across the country—she was the best of America. Dolly, we'll miss your great heart.
I understand the confidence about how this will all end, but I'm still livid at the Postmaster General for having the gall to say the USPS has the right to decide who gets to vote, when the USPS's actual job is to DELIVER THE GODDAMN MAIL, including every ballot, whether Donald Trump likes it or not
I unpacked Supreme Court mail-in ballot ruling @outfrontcnn.bsky.social ⤵️ - The Executive Order is still blocked under a totally separate court order. - States should win quick victories now that USPS has "final rule" (SCOTUS simply held it's premature before that final rule issues). Explanation:
Let’s just call it Lake Natalie so we know you’ll start protecting our Great Lakes.
BREAKING: Trump threatens to rename Lake Ontario as 'Lake America'
tl;dw: the job of the dem majority over the next two years, should it materialize, is to make life hell for the white house, not find points of cooperation

Also, to be clear, David Steiner, the head of USPS, should never be allowed to work again - in any job.
SCOTUS expansion and term limits for current justices are table stakes for Democratic candidates Impeaching John Roberts needs to be on the table
i genuinely think that the way this admin is treating Canada will be looked back on as of the most shameful chapters of modern US history far too many people are laughing it off as unserious but the reality is that they’re spitting in the face of our closest ally for no reason
JD Vance: "Canada is a state -- sorry. Freudian slip."
Quick thoughts on the Browns announcing Deshaun Watson is their starting QB
There are going to be Democrats who say we shouldn’t rip it all out — it’s already built, we have other priorities — but removing the visible signs of Trumpism is absolutely necessary.
The vandalism and desecration of the White House isn't just vanity and it's not trivial. It's caesarism, as in literally what Julius Caesar did to the symbolic architecture of civic republicanism. Our national iconography matters and allowing the disfiguring of it to persist is a substantive harm.
Not even 5 minutes after I post this, Manaea gives up back-to-back-to-back homers, surrendering a 4-run lead. Cursed team
Other than the rookies, Sean Manaea remembering how to pitch is the best Mets’ story of the last couple of months
