Y'all. Vote for Kat if you're in IL-09 if you can. Figure out a way to support her campaign if you can't. Kat crushed in this debate.

No no no. You don’t want that

This explains a lot about how Kyle Hendricks ended his career on the Angels.

And on that note, I'm going to rewatch Mexico absolutely destroying the United States from the World Baseball Classic in 2023. youtu.be/68tE_ogNGF0?...

It's spring training for scoreboard operators too.

My latest has takeaways from the 23rd Annual Wrigley Field Community Meeting. It was inspiring to witness the boring, tedious work of democracy that stood in sharp contrast to the spectacle of national political dysfunction in Washington, D.C. www.bleedcubbieblue.com/chicago-cubs...

The way the gold winning US Men's Hockey Team was paraded out as a prop in the State of the Union tonight is a really good example of why the rest of the free world should boycott the US Olympics and World Cup.

"Boston. Lol, amiright?"

You’ve seen the posters behind me all campaign. Now you can finally get your own!! Our final Stream-a-thon is this Sunday, March 1 from 4PM to 12AM CT. Any donation over $50+ during the 8-hour stream, we’ll mail you a campaign poster! :)

Fox News is a wild alternate reality:

It was definitely #2, and honestly I'm still mad that my phones no longer have physical buttons for the keyboard like that baller blackberry did.

Honestly, the crew of people getting this right is not divided by moderate or progressive. It's literally about who is finally so fed up they are not going to take it anymore, then demonstrating that with their actions. Thank you, Senator Warner.

Hell yeah, Adam Schiff!

live look at the SOTU

Woah, the Spanberger response is...actually pretty good? I genuinely didn't think it was possible to deliver a good response to a SOTU?

But I was assured this administration takes corruption seriously and is putting crack man JD Vance on the case!

Marco Rubio sold his soul to the devil for power and he knows it.

Talib and Omar understand the assignment.

I'm already getting the donation requests from various Democrats, and let me make something perfectly clear: I will never give a single cent to anyone who sat quietly on their hands through that performative, fascist monstrosity. I will, however, happily donate to your primary opponents.

In competitive authoritarianism (US right now) there's often a "loyal opposition" that's essential to the regime. They are so wedded to "decorum," they go along with rites & rituals that help regime prop up veneer of normalcy, undermining clear view of regimes actions & aims.

This dynamic is one of the many reasons the Democrats needed a much better plan tonight than whatever the hell Hakeem Jeffries thinks passes for decorum. It's not time for decorum, that's not what this moment calls for.

Of course it's the people of color again having to say things... the white Democrats in that room are sitting on their hands.

democrats should internalize that this is what their colleagues think of them and act accordingly

Eye-popping margins in the Pennsylvania special elections today: —Democrats won HD94 by 63 points. (Harris won it by 30 in 2024.) —Democrats won HD42 by 35 points. (Harris won it by 17 in 2024.) [The 2024 numbers are via the essential @the-downballot.com].

I'm already annoyed at the Pirates trying to pretend Nick Gonzales is somehow better at SS than this kid for #reasons.

Al Green understands the assignment.

Hanging out at the 23rd annual Wrigley Field Community meeting where they've announced the Savannah Bananas will be at Wrigley Field on July 24-26 👀🍌

Shōta Imanaga with a SIGNIFICANT boost in velocity today. 👀

4 Minnesota guys

Tout Wars alternate categories draft boards! 15-team 5x5 roto. We use IP instead of W, SV+HD instead of SV and OBP instead of AVG. It's always a fun and challenging room! Happy to answer any questions about this one and why I made the picks I did. I was drafting from the 14th spot.

Hakeem Jeffries is an unforced error.

Absolutely the fuck not. Fight for the country or risk being primaried for someone who will. Decorum has the country on the brink of becoming Russia.

Thinking about how many races are up for grabs in the Chicagoland area primaries due to retirements, etc., and I would just like to encourage everyone in a safe district to do what you can to move it left. We shouldn't be represented by corporations. And the people who win our primaries will win.

I once went to a restaurant in Dallas where all of the walls were covered with these guys. Each one had been sponsored and donated by someone who regularly went to the restaurant. That's loyalty.

80 grade communications skills

Michael Conforto to Cubs, per Jon Heyman

His assistant public affairs director insisted the FBI director was not in Italy for the Winter Olympics.

Pretty amazing that comms person at FBI called my @ms.now colleague @kendilanian-nbc.bsky.social a liar and demand a correction only for Kash to post a photo from the locker room

And #this is why you don't make your team hashtag #this #Cubs🤦🏻‍♀️

This year's Baseball Prospecuts hits hard. And, yes, perhaps the Angels do represent the current moment more than any other club.

The triple play was completed when Matt Shaw wandered off too far to his right, like a ding dong.

this i think is key for how we approach protests. you may get arrested. the government will make up anything it wants. and then you will go to court and win because these chuds are morons. THEY ONLY WIN WHEN WE ARE TOO SCARED TO EVEN FIGHT

I just want to live in a country where the leader can’t enrich themselves with our tax dollars, the government does what the people want, and the wealthy have to follow the laws. You know, like a democracy.

Chicago Pope understands the assignment.

It is GLARF draft o'clock and you know we have all the essentials including the foundational @baseballhq.com Forecaster 🔥
