The text of these posts require basically no additional context to warrant immediate impeachment and removal. We aren’t even getting a hearing. The republic is cooked

Everyone needs to be accountable for their own agency. And it’s these people who own this more than any other. A very small group could band together and end this all.

This is the legal equivalent of the doctor who delivered Phoebe’s baby

Trump calling for execution of members of Congress is obviously grounds for immediate impeachment and removal. GOP members should be asked about this nonstop.

ChatGPT, not satisfied with merely telling people to k*ll themselves, will now tell people to commit tax fraud

Margaret Brennan has absolutely debased herself since CBS News leadership changed. No serious outlet can ever hire her.

(Points at the Cardinals) it’s about the cones

What is the innocent explanation for why Trump is trying to stop the Epstein files from being released?

Sometimes a person just cranks out a sentence your brain has been looking for, my god

It needs to be so crystal clear to these people that “I was just following orders” will not be a defense on January 20, 2029 at 12:01pm. Everyone needs to say it all the time. There will be an after.

Multiple members of the cave caucus have said they caved to save the filibuster. I am going to become the joker

Extremely important that this man is booed out of every room he walks into the rest of his life

They have already reached “all of these girls had been through puberty” so I have to imagine the evidence is substantial that Trump was a participant

The incredible damning emails we are seeing today isn’t even the stuff DOJ is hiding. A world-bending scandal. Should be all anyone talks about until he flees for Elba.

“If we kept going we would have won an incredible victory” is literally the argument he put in the newspaper

Trying to pressure one of the discharge petition signers in the literal situation room is classic innocent guy behavior

The evidence we have already seen, combined with Trump’s behavior about it, makes it very clear the president is implicated in something reprehensible and should resign. It is not too late for GOP members of Congress to save their souls.

In the century leading up to 1975, nearly 6000 freighters went down in the Great Lakes. The Edmund Fitzgerald was the last. The last. In 50 years, not a single commercial freighter has been lost in the Great Lakes. Why? It's NOAA. Of course it's NOAA.

Many people are saying

Good news for these senators is they won’t need to fly to Washington anymore once their terms are up

Post after post of furloughed feds telling Dems to hold the line and this is what their senator has to say to them. Resign.

Fighters Not Folders

It’s not going to be left versus center. It will be fighters vs capitulators. Big tent for anyone willing to fight.

🫡 you have to make it count, you have to make all of it matter

If you do not have the spine for this, no shame, but you have to resign and let someone else take the seat. World history is dancing on the head of a pin, no weak links.

On every measure, Dems are winning the public battle over the shutdown. Trump is begging SCOTUS to let him starve people. Crushed them in elections last week. Welp, flight was delayed gotta cave.

No one loves caving like Democrats in Congress.

No human doormats.

Surreal watching Fox broadcast having a cutesy interview with Trump during this game. Talking with him like he’s some teddy bear. Ends with Trump saying “I’d love to have your job someday.” Going to have a stroke.

Such a good response. Kudos for not cowering.

Wild proposition to say you can’t legally pay SNAP benefits, have a court order you to pay them, and then breathlessly run to SCOTUS to ask them to let you not pay SNAP. Claiming ownership of the worst shutdown consequences while trying to call it a Schumer shutdown. Incredible

Fantastic crash out. No notes.

Turning the Rockies around as a sequel to Moneyball, incredible arc potential

At the risk of believing in anything, I blogged the six things I see in Zohran. https://open.substack.com/pub/neilweinberg44/p/what-i-see-in-zohran

Mamdani: "We can respond to oligarchy and authoritarianism with the strength it fears, not the appeasement it craves. After all, if anyone can show a nation betrayed by Donald Trump how to defeat him, it is the city that gave rise to him."

How can you give $325M to someone who has never thrown an MLB pitch: Yamamoto:

I feel like this our chance to exit the insane timeline we entered during the 2016 rain delay

Should have turned two, Clement was on deck

There is a brand of pundit/journalist who are only familiar with the made up version of the Democratic Party that Fox News invented. The IRA was designed to cater to Joe Manchin! It was three years ago, we were all there.

Part of the trick is sometimes he interviews people who are not idiots, thus allowing all of the idiots to think they are one of the non-idiots.

Yeah, I mean this is the whole ballgame politically. The entire country thinks the Democratic Party platform is the made up version Republicans have invented. And Dem leaders don’t know how to fight back. Death spiral for the republic.

Normies decide what to care about based on elites raising a stink, the idea that the public organically comes to opinions on (most) things is not true

Quick millennial marriage pro-tip: I was pretending to be Bandit for the kids and my wife texts me two words from the other room: “very romance” That’s the most forward thing she’s ever done.

The president can do any crime he wants and then the taxpayers have to pay him $230 million because he committed crimes. Where is the pocket constitution brigade on this one?

🎯 “I suspect I don’t have to spell out who’s on which track. But the point of the exercise isn’t really to name and shame—it’s to provide them all a new north star. You are actors in history, you’re writing your own epitaphs.”

usually takes more than one game to learn that. your wife is a prodigy.

baseball is the best preparation for death because it does not come with a clock that tells you when your suffering will end one way or the other

This is the best peak run for a pitcher in Tigers history.
