Trump carried Bucks county by 274 votes out of 400k in 2024, this dude ran on cancelling the ICE 287(g) contract, so pretty close to an "abolish ICE" platform. He won against the incumbent by 11 percentage points, or 25,000 votes. Dem strategists are idiots.

the jeff frye of ice has weighed in

If our vaunted Top 79 free agents is to be believed, we're nearly at the halfway point of the offseason - 37 have signed, including five of the top 10. Here's what's left on the market, for all you big dreamers and dumpster-divers out there: www.usatoday.com/story/sports...

it's been almost 20 years since Mark faced similar straits, crowd-funded to produce coverage from spring training in Viera and today remains the king of district baseball. here's hoping a platform emerges for his excellent work.

#Orioles announce Jhonkensy Noel has cleared waivers and been assigned to Class AAA Norfolk. Big Christmas is alive in Baltimore.

the punter America actually needs

Great deeply reported story from @blockclubchi.bsky.social. One lesson: everything is connected. And Raising Cane's sucks. blockclubchicago.org/2026/01/14/h...

that outcropping of mirrors seems like some peak McMansion Hell but also kind of fascinated by them. also goes with his fit somehow

low key gonna miss this

can't spell 'cabernet' without 'acab'

is he legit trying to claim he’s 5’9

I think about this a lot w/regard to any profession, so, Journalism, say: Imagine if folks were not only not disgusted by the Jayson Blairs and Jack Kellys of the world but were also like, 'They were just doing their job when they made shit up! Leave them alone! Fraternal Order of Journalists!'

morning!

Big Dom is a cop

One bad Patullo play call and the Niners basically have home field advantage.

De facto afc championship game it feels like

This game deserved OT. Hate to see that.

For those grieving the impending doom of the Pittsburgh P-G, these guys are doing work ⬇️

Jim Nantz, essentially, as they went to break: “Sports!”

'lol' this just happened

Those extra playoff cops they add on the sidelines in black ref jackets freak me the hell out.

McVay seems like a real “thumbs up emoji text responder” type.

In which the English editors that Jeff Bezos hired from Rupert Murdoch to run WaPo demonstrate (1) that they don't understand the First Amendment and how it works and (2) that they're also basically illiterate.

Was this a scheduled post? Presumably scheduled before, oh, I don't know, Wednesday?

love hearing the Indiana fight song because it reminds me of Breaking Away, greatest movie of the late '70s, many are saying.

I saw this video of a Vietnam vet in the fur coat yelling at ICE and thought to myself, "this is missing something," before I realized, "Ah, of course, the Ether instrumental. It's so obvious."

Max Kepler has been suspended 80 games by #MLB after testing positive for Epitrenbolone, essentially a variant of the old-school PED trenbolone.

one for each lake, if the license plates are accurate

it has been a very disappointing few days in the broader media landscape. and we'll just leave it at that.

At best the third best team in the ACC

Dragging his ancient Stetson Bennett ass into the end zone..

Remembering today that having your heart broken is a necessary step on the path to becoming fully human. Whichever heartbreak is your first, it’s probably critical that a state break your heart so that you can develop a political imagination. If this is your first, I’m sorry and also welcome.

a real fun fact in this write-up is that Bo Bichette is five months ** younger ** than Bryson Stott, who always seemed like some child from Vegas Bryce Harper championed. But he did go to UNLV!

the obama admin expanded ICE, the biden admin expanded ICE. not sure just voting blue is helping

"Renee was one of the kindest people I’ve ever known,” her mother said. “She was extremely compassionate. She’s taken care of people all her life. She was loving, forgiving and affectionate. She was an amazing human being.” www.startribune.com/she-was-an-a...

Christmas barely lasted a day in Baltimore as the #Orioles designate Jhonkensy Noel for assignment and become the latest team to roll the dice on former #Giants outfield prospect Marco Luciano. He'd been DFA'd by the #Pirates.

A 23 year old larping as a journalist made a misleading and inaccurate YouTube video that the administration full of chronically online shitposters used to justify the “largest immigration operation ever” and now someone is dead

Last week, we published a story detailing ICE's strategy for recruiting new officers, including targeting "gun rights" supporters and geo-fencing ads around gun shows. Ex-ICE director told me: “That mentality you’re fostering tends to inculcate in people a certain aggressiveness" wapo.st/3Ngmo9C

Baseball America draft and colleges analyst Peter Flaherty announces on BA's college podcast that he's been hired by the #Nationals to work in their scouting department. Sharp dude and another interesting hire in a winter full of them.

Just saw the video. Unless that woman was armed and pointing a gun at the ICE cop (and I've seen no reported evidence of that), there's no way in hell her truck posed a threat to him. Not a chance.

I have watched the video. I think you probably do not need to watch the video. it shows what you think it's gonna show in terms of lack of justification.

this story gets crazier with every graf and even the comments are wild. 'Veteran-owned coffeeplace' expands aggressively, stiffs its vendors, stops paying rent, dabbles in RICO, files for bankruptcy. wapo.st/3Z1Jsvq

Man you know it’s a persistent problem when it endures through several chyron font changes.

i wonder how much internal jousting there was at the NYT over what's, for them, a startlingly unequivocal headline. In other words, was 'White House's Jan. 6 narrative raises questions' in the running?
