My soap box today: please stop assuming all married men are proud members of this club of malcontent spouses. I'm truly sorry if you're unhappy with your wife, but I recommend couples therapy in lieu of disclosing the mediocrity of your partnership to an entire lobby of patrons at the tire shop.

Fun fact: #Seahawks are the only team in NFL history to have a player with a sack, tackle for loss, interception, and blocked field goal in the same game. Leonard Williams did it last year, Nick Emmanwori today.

Waiting for screening for my 0900 platelets donation. Last month when I donated there was an obnoxious broncos fan here as well, so I passive aggressively pulled these socks up before they stuck me to remind him he's in #Seahawks territory.

Major media hate to say Trump “lied.” Here's a thread on what they say instead. Trump is “inverting the facts” (NYT) … Because he has a “complicated relationship with the truth” (NBC) … With a “mix of bullish optimism and hyperbole” (Reuters) … And is “a master of the art of exaggeration” (AP) … 1/🧵

Listen…If y’all want to talk honesty, then let’s be honest about all of it. The promises, the hypocrisy, the receipts. Because what you campaigned on and what you’re doing? Two very different things.

Trump: "Christians and more, think of this, more than twice as likely foster care they'll adopt the general population. They adopt to it so easily. When they get out, they adopt to it like it's become second nature. It's amazing."

"The commander of US Southern Command, Adm. Alvin Holsey, offered to resign during a tense meeting last month with Secretary of Defense Pete Hegseth ... after he raised questions about the legality of the strikes ... Holsey will leave his post in December, just one year into his tenure."

Federal agents’ use of force amid the aggressive deportation campaign in Chicago “shocks the conscience,” and the Trump administration “lacks credibility.” That’s what a judge found Thursday in a crucial new ruling: chicago.suntimes.com/immigration/...

The verdict comes after the case came to represent broader resistance in the nation's capital to the Trump administration's law enforcement surge to the city. n.pr/47rmYsS

“This case, ladies and gentleman of the jury, is about a sandwich.” Closing arguments from the defense in the DC sandwich guy case are now underway.

Congressional candidate @katmabu.bsky.social, who was indicted today for protesting outside the Broadview ICE facility: "We've been punched, dragged, thrown, shot with pepper balls, tear gassed, rubber bullets from snipers on roofs going into local businesses windows."

Note: This is me — I asked this question. You’ll hear me say “yes you have” here — because Johnson was already *directly asked* about one of these instances (when the Presbyterian minister was shot in the head with a pepper ball) in one of earlier shutdown press conferences.

A bases loaded walk at the bottom of any inning will be the only way this will end.

MLB, you need to do away with this endless innings nonsense. This is so unproductive. Extra innings up to 12, then turn it into a HR Derby if still tied after that. Derby round 1: teams pick 3 batters, one from each third of their active lineup. 5 swings each
