You can see why Mattingly and Cotham have avoided using Bowlan this series.

Energy way more elevated tonight. Phillies benefited from sleepy 2pm starts.

Is the problem that they were unvetted — or comically misinterpreted? The texts on the poster board were real (and mentioned nothing about Hawks or Hawkeyes). youtube.com/shorts/bZHlM...

Sources: Eric Schmitt was warned Jack Smith texts weren't vetted

Not a bad idea. The NFL rightsholders have decided (likely with some Shield nudging) to erase Deshaun Watson's past and reframe him as a comeback figure who we are supposed to root for. He's a piece of shit and everyone contributing to this whitewash should be ashamed of themselves.

One point about Pete Hegseth’s megachurch psycho Patton speech: he says diversity is not our greatest strength, but rather unity is. He’s pushing in an open door: Nobody actually disagrees with that. We simply reject the notion that the two are mutually exclusive.

I just watched a Matt Walsh TikTok about the Cornell case and, ugh, I need a shower now.

I have often wondered about this. If, heaven forfend, a Republican wins in 2028, will the cult-like tentacles of Trump constrain him or her from redecorating the White House? I could all too easily see JD leaving everything up.

President Donald Trump wants the Oval Office declared a federal landmark so no one can take down the gilded accents he’s affixed to the walls.

Do I recall correctly that she said she was prepared to die, and that the only thing she feared was that they’d botch the execution in something like this fashion?

NBC News@nbcnews.com · 15h ago

NBC News' Jesse Kirsch breaks down what has happened after Tennessee failed to execute the lone woman on its death row after injecting her with a lethal drug.

Seems like only, what, two days ago that Ted Cruz telling Jack Smith he was the worse thing to happen to Justice since Watergate. Which at least concedes an underlying point that Watergate was bad.

New AP poll: Trump’s job approval rating falls to 31%, while 69% disapprove. • His approval rating on the economy: 26% • On the cost of living: 17% • On Iran: 28% • Trade negotiations: 38% • AI: 31% • Immigration: 39% • Border security: 48% apnorc.org/wp-content/u...

Cute win steak you had there, Boston.

Thank God Harper’s misplay ended up a footnote. If the season was over because of it … I don’t even want to think about it.

Vasgergian is so so bad.

Really suboptimal when you trust only one and a half relievers

Please stop speaking, Joey Votto.

So … perhaps it will slowly dawn on people that Philadelphia fans are not all that unique.

And by “talk about the beauty” he means “assault.”

The Bulwark@thebulwark.com · 2d ago

Trump: “As a politician, you’re not allowed to talk about the beauty of a woman because it’s the immediate end of your political career.”

Jack Smith was definitely not at this arena.

I can’t believe this is the same guy who challenged a witness to a fight during a Senate committee hearing.

Listen, I know what the game is: Interrupt, harass, grandstand, create viral clip. But I think Smith should have more forcefully defended himself. youtube.com/shorts/Fzsyc...

Christopher Webb@cwebbonline.com · 2d ago

This is priceless. Check out how local news is reporting on Sen Eric Schmidt’s clown-show grilling of Jack Smith. They found Jack Smith at the game… “Top corner, section 109, row 1. In fact, that seat doesn’t even exist in Atlanta.”

“We had information he was at a basketball game. And there was only one NBA game that night.” Seriously? That’s it? That was the extent of the lead? And this guy was a prosecutor?!

TrumpsTaxes@trumpstaxes.com · 2d ago

Come to see Eric Schmitt try to chuckle his way through his obvious humiliation. Stay to watch Amy Klobuchar dunk on Eric Schmitt for a *2nd* time today.

“It’s almost like a constitution, in a way.” And we know how he feels about those.

Q: Tell us why the world shouldn't be concerned about AI, why there shouldn't be guardrails? TRUMP: Because we have people that love our country & love the world a lot Q: It requires more than love, doesn't it? T: No. It requires this *points to head* and they're the smartest people in the world

Can’t blame Mattingly. It almost worked. Infield single was the killer.
