Congratulations to all the Democratic candidates who won tonight. It’s a reminder that when we come together around strong, forward-looking leaders who care about the issues that matter, we can win. We’ve still got plenty of work to do, but the future looks a little bit brighter.

Just think, that could have been the Phillies if they weren’t plagued by being the Phillies

I love for everyone that this is now the baseball app

Yoshinobu Yamamoto won Games 2, 6 and 7 of the World Series. He threw a complete game in Game 2, six innings and 96 pitches on Friday and came back Saturday to throw 2.2 scoreless innings on 34 pitches and induce the World Series-winning double play. A legendary performance.

Yeah, the Dodgers spent a ton of money. Blue Jays spent a good amount too, but Blue Jays had the lead going into the 8th and 9th inning and had chances to win it in the 9th, 10th, and 11th. That's not money folks. That's baseball.

“They were careless people, Tom and Daisy- they smashed up things and creatures and then retreated back into their money or their vast carelessness or whatever it was that kept them together, and let other people clean up the mess they had made.” ― F. Scott Fitzgerald

Wow. What a series.

Go Toronto! I can’t take this.

just had some lame MAGA wannabe intern for McCormick insult me on the phone for not accepting the promise of "good faith" negotiations on health care. To which my response was "you're all a bunch of liars why would we trust you."

The Walton family (who own Walmart) are worth over $400 billion, yet many of their employees are on SNAP. Bezos is worth over $400 billion, many Amazon employees require SNAP. The people who need help are not the problem. It’s corporate greed. It’s an unwillingness to pay a living wage.
