Before the midterms of 1866, President Andrew Johnson called his congressional opponents traitors and said they should be hanged. Voters were so profoundly moved by his words... that they gave his opponents a supermajority in Congress, and the nation got the Fourteenth Amendment.

The President of the United States just called for Democratic members of Congress to be executed. "HANG THEM", he posted. If you're a person of influence in this country and you haven't picked a side, maybe now would be the time to pick a fucking side.

won a World Series and an MVP in the same season, multiple times:   Joe DiMaggio: 1939, 1941, 1947 Shohei Ohtani: 2024, 2025 Joe Morgan: 1975, 1976 Mickey Mantle: 1956, 1962

This is real news. Reporters, please report on it. ELEVEN former top FCC officials, Republican and Democratic, came together to condemn FCC Chairman Carr's abuses of power and efforts to suppress legal speech. It's not just Jimmy Kimmel. The FCC's jawboning and chill on legal speech is ongoing.

Elections (still) matter. We need to keep it that way, with free and fair elections, in 2026. SafeguardingDemocracyProject.org.

Nothing beats a good election.

I mean this is so far pretty close to a 10 out of 10 night for Democrats. Winning everywhere! Statewide in PA and GA, huge margin in VA gov race. Sherrill tracking double digits as well! Mamdani above 50% in a the highest turnout in NYC since 1969. Big pick ups in VA House of Delegates.

Two of the media organizations that have really "met the moment" in national coverage are Teen Vogue and WIRED. Along with student-run college newspapers in general. And scores of local start-ups. The main hope for journalism (in its dark times) is the next wave of journalists.

José Ramírez is a finalist for the AL MVP Award alongside Aaron Judge and Cal Raleigh. Ramírez finished fifth in MVP voting last season. He was also a finalist in 2017, 2018 and 2020.

Healthcare but only for my friends

Fun fact - after last night, the Cleveland baseball team has dropped from having 40% of the World Series Game 7 extra innings losses in MLB history to only 33%!!

As a Guardians fan, my heart goes out to the entire nation of Canada tonight.

Mentioned this in WS game chat, but during Game 3, Smoltz said (definitively) fly ball rates go up during extra innings, presumably because everyone is trying to end the game with one swing. Is there evidence to support this or was this a Smoltz fever dream? @enosarris.bsky.social @dvr.bsky.social

“Ohtani’s hobbies are baseball and sleep.” Same!!

True fact-this game started in Ebbets Field.

Coming up - 2022 Guardians Straw, Clement, Gimenez!

I don’t recall a musical performance going with the Standing Up To Cancer ceremony in the past….

Lindsey Halligan has a broadcast journalism degree from Regis University in Denver. I am confident they covered how "off the record" works.

Sorry for all my friends and family who are Mariners fans. They had a great season!!

And that, kids, is why you don’t bunt.

Gotta admire Naylor’s trying to take one for the team.

Bieber vs. Naylor, who do I root for?? 🤯

Oh nooooo, Lindsey Halligan, this is not how any of this works (15 screens into a Signal exchange) www.lawfaremedia.org/article/anna...

W/ @genevievelakier.bsky.social, the @aaup.org today released a letter to the Offices of the General Counsel at US colleges & universities. We detail why the Compact violates the Constitution & urge that no one signs it. www.aaup.org/sites/defaul...

Trident >>> Ugly jacket

Other than two small front page photos, the Sunday @nytimes.com coverage of the nationwide No Kings protests is on p. A22. Chilling effect much??

I hear from informed sources that these #NoKings rallies are more than twice as big as last time, making them easily the largest protests in US history. Thanks to everyone and especially organizers.

Holy moly, Ohtani!!!

Respect to Wilson for not calling for a bunt there.

The 2022 Guardians are just dominating these playoffs!!

At the very least, I assume the Brewers have now made LA use Sasaki here.

Blake Snell with the 13th outing in postseason history of 8+ innings and 1 or 0 hits allowed First since Roy Halladay’s 2010 no-hitter First by a Dodgers pitcher 10th to also not allow a run

This is how ESPN game cast describes the play at the end of the top of the 4th… “Muncy grounded into double play, center to shortstop to catcher, Smith out at third, T. Hernández out at home.”

Never a good sign when a crowd starts booing its own team…

The Mariners are the 4th team in postseason history to allow a leadoff home run and allow no other runs the rest of the game, joining: 2018 WS G5 Red Sox 2012 ALDS G1 Tigers 1954 WS G2 Giants

Louis Varland sounds like a big band leader from the 1920s.

Announcers have both said Miller outlasted Gausman. He’s right at 5.2, same as Gausman.

Mariners definitely have the best corporate sponsor shoulder patch in baseball (though I’d rather no team have them).

Oh good, we get to listen to Smoltz for this series…..

White Sox traded Vaughn for Aaron Civale…..

Now can someone explain the rally shoe on the head??

I’m totally exhausted, and the Tigers knocked my team out 8 days ago!
