It’s been difficult watching Christian Yelich batting in the top part of the lineup when the Brewers have better options hitting 5-6 (Bauers and Vaughn). Felt it really cost the Brewers tonight.

The reason that Republicans are attacking immigrants is because immigrants make America wealthy and economically dynamic. Their vision for America is to turn the entire country into the South: an uneducated and impoverished backwater that a hereditary elite rules over like an aristocracy.

ICE agents have begun arresting foreign citizens with expired U.S. visas as they travel through airports, including spouses of Americans, according to documents obtained by The NYT and interviews with immigration lawyers — opening up a new pool of possible deportees www.nytimes.com/2026/07/28/u...

🔥 Jon Stewart Defends Democratic Socialism: “When you call it SoCiALiSm, I think it’s a misnomer — It’s about strengthening a safety net for a country that has suffered too long overvaluing capital and money, and undervaluing labor and work. That’s it.”

@danielsilvabooks.bsky.social Do you ever consider Gabriel Allon’s age while you write? As a longtime reader of your books, I am occasionally struck by someone in their now mid-70s doing the things Allon does (which is probably not what you want readers thinking about). I’m currently reading Ransom.

If Trump looked this bad and out of it at the World Cup final, how’s he going to look at the Summer Olympics in LA in two years (providing he’s not already dead and/or no longer the president)?

The Milwaukee Brewers paid Brandon Woodruff almost half a million this year per inning pitched. Ridiculously stupid qualifying offer considering his health coming into the year, especially for a team with a budget.

Actually read through the documents Trump released last night and they show basically the opposite of what he claimed. It shows that Russia aggressively sought to interfere on behalf of Trump in 2020. China explored it but thought the backlash would be too much and stayed out.

Just saw the first ad in the Wisconsin governor’s race from a PAC backing Tom Tiffany. Focused on the super important issues of statues being removed, communism, and transgender scare-mongering. Very out of touch.

Ossoff: "Here's what's going to happen tonight: the world's most famous sore loser will deliver a prime-time presidential sour grapes address to pursue his 6-year-old grievances about the 2020 election, while his war in the Middle East spirals out of control & the cost of living continues to rise.."

Is Taco Bell growing their own lettuce? No. They get their lettuce from companies like Taylor Farms (that has 1/3 of the market *including hospitals*). This is deflection on the part of the federal government, which specifically cut funding for food safety screening/testing.

Federal and state health officials are reportedly investigating whether Taco Bell restaurants played a role in one of the largest U.S. outbreaks of an illness that causes explosive diarrhea

NEWS: Trump just posted about his latest strikes on Iran and threatened that “the Islamic Republic of Iran will no longer exist” if the U.S. is “forced to militarily complete the job.” A reminder: the MOU specifically bars these kinds of threats.
