My concern is about a league-wide effect. Will this resemble a juiced ball season like 1930 and 1987? If so, it becomes even more important to strike out hitters....more spin, more max velo, more injuries.

Remember when Elon Musk "accidentally" canceled Ebola prevention programs? That was pretty bad, but then he said those programs had been restored. Good news, right?   Wrong.   Turns out that was a bold-faced lie — Ebola prevention was never restored. Watch⬇️

St. Louis is still waiting on Trump to declare a federal emergency after tornadoes caused damage totaling over $1B nearly 4 weeks ago. Businesses are closed. People are living in tents. But he’s got time to send the national guard to CA for a made-up emergency.

Johns Hopkins is trying to recruit conservatives to academia to increase viewpoint diversity. By definition, that is a DEI initiative. It is then hypocritical to cut back DEI efforts to increase cultural diversity.

Much of our media will ‘both sides’ us into fascism. The idea that there is any kind of equivalence between the senator asking a question, even if a stunt!, and him then being assaulted and detained by police/federal agents is insane.

This is great news. Let's make sure to express our gratitude to the violence interrupters who courageously put themselves at risk each day to deescalate conflict in order to save lives.

Maybe if Democrats spent weeks leading a mobilization effort against the bill -- a national strategy with rallies in key districts -- instead of having meltdowns about Zohran, I'd be a bit more enthusiastic about Jeffries's grand plan to... delay the vote until the afternoon.
