Dennis Eckersley might call this Red Sox lineup a Hodgepodge of Nothingness.

Ronald Brownstein Love the players from today's lineup individually but John Henry treating one of the greatest franchises in sports like a bargain bin inconvenience is truly unconscionable.

Fox Polls continue upside-down pattern: Biden just above his 2020 # w/whites in PA & WI, even in GA, only down a bit in MI. But he's way below 2020 w/non-white voters in each Only at 3/4 Black voters in MI & GA vs 9/10 in 20. Can Trump sustain? foxnews.com/official-polls… #FoxNews

This is what authoritarians do: incite violence against anyone seen as having the power to harm Cult Leader. This is also designed to make it very difficult to find jurors and thus proceed with the trial. It is form of sabotage of our democratic justice system.

Biden's failure to stop this is a disaster for the safety of people all over the Middle East, including Israelis. It's a disaster for the security of US forces in the region. And it's a disaster for Biden's chances of reelection. Trump will run as the peace candidate, as in 2016,…

This is what I know. It serves no legitimate news interest to put these people in harms way by publicizing information about them

In todays lineup “The highest-paid player is Reese McGuire, the team's catcher who is making a whopping $1.5 million. Really, John Henry? This is what we're working with?” apple.news/A9d79yhTOSRCRc…

“Instead, the Red Sox roll out a Triple-A lineup for a major-league game, the latest insult to the paying customers who show up to Fenway Park in jerseys commemorating departed stars from a bygone era named Betts, Bogaerts, and Martinez.” Plus Papi & Manny apple.news/AoBUGk3xRT7m58…

Least surprising scandal ever: what did they expect w/every sports league not only welcoming but encouraging gambling and integrating it directly into all TV broadcasts? “Jontay Porter’s lifetime NBA ban highlights the risks of sports gambling - Vox” apple.news/A_G0hPEmaRSqFd…

As u note, this poll, taken around Iran attack, shows more Dem support for arming Israel than earlier Quinnipiac University Poll & CBS News, which each found ~2/3 opposed. But can that last, espec if BiBi invades Rafah while Gaza famine sets in? 5/8 key date: admin must report to Congress

Netanyahu has his fans at AIPAC/conservative media/GOP base, but all evidence suggests he's been a disaster for Israel's overall position in US. Just 5% of Ds viewed him favorably in Quinnipiac University Poll. He's erased bipartisan goodwill & left Israel much more reliant on 1 party alone

And that is significantly smaller than his margins in 2020, yes. And even that's in the two-way test. In the test w/every third party candidate, Biden's margin among voters 18-29 is only a little over half as large as his advantage w/them in 2020. That's dangerous. Institute of Politics
