The Chicago Cubs know they again could have some roster churn among their relievers, so development of options from within the organization will be important in the coming months.

🧵 You think Anthropic is fighting trump? The real story is so much more interesting and complicated and well… just downright cynical and fucked up. I was wondering what was going on… so I asked Claude… Anthropic’s AI… to explain it to me. Walk with me. +

War in the Middle East does not in fact make oil cheaper

this is explicitly genocidal

Holy fuck this is a horrible idea

"You don't liberate people at the barrel of a gun. Have we learned nothing from Iraq or Afghanistan? All we seem to have learned is from Gaza. Israel has learned that you can bomb hospitals & schools with impunity." Me on MSNOW with @chrislhayes.bsky.social Full intv: youtube.com/watch?v=u7LU...

This thread demands attention! ICE/CBP is claiming they have no record of someone they detained, and whose phone was geolocated at the Broadview detention center.

USA beats Brazil 15-5!

I leave the Midwest for a few days and all hell breaks loose Stay safe everyone.

@sarahlongwell25.bsky.social: "I couldn't have a lower opinion of Donald Trump and the leadership around him. The way that they are waging this war demonstrates contempt for the American people."

They even have Summer Shandy out at Spring Training. Is this what heaven is like?

PDS tornado in St Joseph, MI Be safe over there...

It even smells like baseball Sox @ Diamondbacks

How tf is Mexico tied with Great Britain in a WBC game??

We need a constitutional amendment that voters declare war. Congress clearly can't do their job and the executive can't act without checks and balances without being a King which no one should want

That's a fucking war, bitch War is declared by Congress, bitch I think it's time to consider options to remove this regime from power. Maybe the 3rd time is the charm for impeachment?

Remember when Russia invaded Ukraine in 2022, we armed them, energy prices spiked, and the right lost their mf'ing mind? All the "wHaT aBoUt PaLeStInE oHiO?!" they bellowed We weren't even doing the shooting in that one. We just gave some friends some cool guns Now they're all in

Afaik, missiles haven't been fired at the Continental US in almost a century, so why do we need this now? Are the creating a future where lots of people hate us and attack us? Are they planning to make us vulnerable to this in other ways like lack of space superiority? They're showing their cards

Yeah, no. I don't like this

Andrew Mangiapane will make his debut for the Blackhawks tonight.

And letting him chase his first Cup while playing on the same team as his younger brother. Perfect.

Bertuzzi gets the other A for the rest of the season. Blackhawks will decide their captain during the offseason/heading into next season.

The new "transitory" is coming into focus

You were promised no wars and lower prices. Over a year into Trump’s term: > Jobs are down > Prices are up > We’re at war with Iran More on today’s latest jobs report:

Blackhawks head coach Jeff Blashill confirms Nick Foligno is headed to Minnesota "We're happy for him...we'll miss him as a group."

Why choose?

I bet the masters of the universe wannabes running our government don't even realize they started WW3 yet But as long as Israel and silicon valley are happy, I guess that's what counts

They really have no concept of unintended consequences and long tails. They think theyre winning They're just going to keep bombing countries until people stop talking about the Epstein Files. Don't let them win

When this happens, the shipping reinsurers (those that back the P&I Clubs) withdrew their policies, requiring even higher war risk. Pre-war it was 0.15 to 0.25%. Reports have it reset to 0.5 to 3%, but we may see even higher now, or more toward the higher end.

DID THE NAVY JUST SINK SHIPPING? Was there any discussion about the impact that sinking an Iranian frigate near a heavily trafficked shipping lane would have on global shipping. The survivors were brought into Galle on the SW coast of Sri Lanka, which is near a heavily congested route.

So we're just going to combine politics and sports now to make Donny Two Dolls happy? Does anyone care about social cohesion anymore? Are we just giving up on getting along?

Printed directions never ghosted anyone, they stayed folded creased and faithful.

👀 gulf states pulling back from the warner bros deal to pressure Trump P.S. why would anyone come to the World Cup here after all this?

Noem lasting 14months in her job.... ....same age as the dog she murdered.... does have some "divine symmetry"

“You’re a U.S. senator!” Bernie stops Noem’s replacement from literally trying to fight someone👇🏽 This should go great

Only in Illinois is a tagline from a letter to the editor look like this - "Jim Nowlan is a former member of the Illinois House. He has worked for three unindicted Illinois governors and taught American politics at the University of Illinois"

Anyone keeping count of how many wars it takes to distract from the Epstein Files?

We need bait and switch laws for politicians

It doesn't usually take 12 hours to get to Phoenix from Midway, but here we are. At least I only missed one game.. Spring Training 2026..I'm here! LFG!

The prevailing message in the Blackhawks' locker room today: The young core is motivated to win enough next season to ensure this is the last time the Hawks are sellers at the deadline. New story: chicago.suntimes.com/blackhawks/2...

Those men get paid by our collective hard work and taxes. Fuck you you bitch-ass puppy-killer

I paid for a direct flight MDW to Phoenix. 4-hr flight Instead, I'm in Dallas on a 3-hr layover now waiting for another delayed flight for my connection I lost the whole day. Missed games I had tickets for, and Southwest just keeps demanding people check carry-ons @southwest.com has failed. RIP

The prophecy has been fulfilled

[WARNING: This is a bit graphic.] A Marine Corps veteran protesting Trump’s War on Iran had his arm broken by Capitol Police and GOP Senator Tim Sheehy. It appears to be a compound fracture.
