Update: It is the fourth inning. Shohei Ohtani has thrown four shutout innings, allowed one hit, struck out six and hit a pair of home runs. The first went 446 feet. The most recent, to give the Dodgers a 4-0 lead, went 469 feet and nearly left the stadium. The best. Period.

Didn’t used to believe in unicorns. I do, now. Ohtani is magical!!!!

The war zone in Portland is out of control.

Shohei Ohtani is the first pitcher in postseason history with a multi-homer game!!!!!

This is the only way extra-inning games should be played. Not a ghost runner in the conversation. Players have to put on big-boy pants and score runs the old-fashion way — if they can. Mad props to SEA and DET pitchers and defense.

Bravo, Jimmy Kimmel. Speaking truth to power with a twinkle in your eye is what freedom of speech is all about.

Rest easy, Sundance Kid. Thank you for sharing your amazing talents. Robert Redford, Screen Idol Turned Director and Activist, Dies at 89 www.nytimes.com/2025/09/16/m...

MAGA studio magic! It’s better than Pixar!

Chuck Mangione, ‘Smooth Jazz’ Hitmaker With a Fluegelhorn, Dies at 84 www.nytimes.com/2025/07/24/a... Thank you for being a major part of the soundtrack of my life. God speed, Mr. Mangione. Your sounds and soul will always soar in the land of make believe.

Judge Sentences Ex-Officer in Breonna Taylor Raid to Nearly 3 Years in Prison www.nytimes.com/2025/07/21/u.... It’s good to know that some judges honor their oaths. So many are still striving to uphold the law, and show there can be justice dealt no matter the opposition.

The DC NFL football team should change its name to the “Washington Epstein Lists.”

Saving the center square for himself?

Remember when the Aarons, Mays and Musials played entire All-Star games? If that happened in this era, I think Ohtani and Judge might be in this swing-off. At least Alonso has HR street cred!!

I stand up to cancer on behalf of my friend Michael in France, and my later brother, Groove. 💔🙏🏽💔

Bless you!

This gives a whole new meaning to “Bum’s Rush!”

Suddenly I have a new favorite singing group. Don’t mess with MC!

Congrats to the wonderful #TitoFrancona. Your 2,000th win as a manager is one more number assuring a ticket to Cooperstown is in the bag!

I’m only peeking a little bit, Nancy, LOL!

Such a shame that neither Dave Parker nor Dick Allen lived long enough to receive their deserved enshrinement in The Baseball Hall of Fame. Rest in Peace, Cobra, as you join Dick on the All-Star team on high. Show Heaven what baseball in the Keystone State was all about!

MN Governor Tim Walz delivers the eulogy at today’s funerals for Melissa and Mark Hortman (and their beloved dog). All victims of political assassination #RestInPeace m.youtube.com/watch?v=Kjkv...

No, he thinks Black Americans need their history and contributions to his nation erased.

He’s a racist, just like his KKK daddy, pure and simple.

I really do think a vast swath of the American people dramatically underestimate how much Donald Trump hates Black people

Here is the President of the United States angrily sh*tting on and raging against Juneteenth

I’ve covered baseball since 1982. The #Padres-#Dodgers game might be the craziest brawl I’ve ever seen!

I signed the final bills Melissa Hortman shepherded through the most narrowly divided legislature in the county. All of them bipartisan. We debated, we found common ground, and we compromised. That’s how democracy should function.

Wonder how many of the Jan. 6 thugs now wear badges supplied by Trump?

Thank you, Tucker Carlson?!?!? Didn’t have that on my bingo card, ever!

So needed in the day and age!!!!

June 12th is Loving Day, a holiday that commemorates the Loving v. Virginia case, which allowed interracial marriage in all parts of the U.S. NPR readers share how the case changed their lives.

NONE of this would be happening under President Kamala Harris. No government kidnappings, tariffs wars, ICE shooting random people, 401Ks tanking, Medicaid, Medicare & Social Security on the chopping block, turning our allies into enemies, children killing themselves- all of it.

The founding fathers did not live and die to see this moment. It’s time for all of us to stand up peacefully.

Preach!

We are not afraid of you, Donald Trump, because even with the greatest seat of power, you are a spectacularly small man. We are not afraid of you because you are not worthy of our fear, because that would mean respecting you, and we do not. johnpavlovitz.substack.com/p/we-the-peo...

We’ll be right there to back you — after we help the millions ahead of you in line formed by the truly defenseless.

i think southern baptists should probably consider a ban on being led by child predators

If Trump admits he should not have pardoned the Jan. 6 insurrectionists, then maybe I will entertain that he is acting in the nation’s best interests now in LA. UNTIL THEN, HE IS THE INSURRECTIONIST-IN-CHIEF AND DESERVES TO BE STOPPED.

City of Angels, under siege on orders of criminals in power.

How very ironic that GOP Governors aren’t standing up for states’ rights here. I guess that only matters if you’re denying women or transgender people access to medical care. democraticgovernors.org/updates/stat...

Tyrants are everywhere, unchecked and unhinged. Killing children and kidnapping the innocent is the new norm. Somewhere in hell Hitler and Stalin are smiling.

Awful news.

He’s disappearing innocent people off of our streets and ordering the military onto our streets. He does not give a damn about the rule of law. He is the very tyrant our founding generation rose up against 249 yrs ago. It’s time for the American people to rise up again.

Nothin but the facts

George Clooney just reminded us on CNN with Good Night, and Good Luck that history has a way of coming back. That montage at the end? Damn chilling and so damn real. If you didn’t get a chance to see it here’s the montage:

Thank you George Clooney!!!!!! #GoodNightAndGoodLuck Tonight on CNN we got to see the last performance of the brilliant show Clooney brought to Broadway. It was live. . F you missed it, i believe its streaming on Netflix. Its timely, important
