@xfinity Looks like I'll be joining the large number of former XFinity package subscribers, since your fiber pricing is 2x competitors and you insist on big packages of TV channels we mostly don't watch and won't offer either fiber price-matching or a more a la carte TV plan.

When Democrats wanted to eliminate the filibuster in 2022, I stood my ground because I understood the consequences of turning the Senate into a glorified House with simple majority rule. Senator John Cornyn said of Democrats at the time: “They'll soon find themselves rueing the day their party broke the Senate.” The filibuster exists to make both sides work together and produce good legislation that can withstand the test of time. Eliminating the filibuster would consolidate even more power into the hands of the majority party’s leadership — and take power away from the minority and everyday Americans. When I was a U.S. Senator, there was not another person more committed to keeping the filibuster than Senator John Cornyn. He understood the incredible political pressure I faced from my former party to get rid of the filibuster and give Democrats complete power — and at the time, he understood why neither party should take our country past this point of no return. The filibuster — the soul of the Senate — has preserved the Senate’s role for nearly 250 years as the institution that cools passions, protects minority voices, and demands consensus. America was built on institutions designed to resist political convenience, not surrender to it. It’s deeply disappointing to see that Senator Cornyn is now willing to scrap the very rule he once praised and personally thanked me for defending. These extreme election-year politics that put party power over everything else are why Americans are sick and tired of the duopoly of the two-party system of Democrats and Republicans.

6 or 7, don't push it past 8

@SullyCNBC This is way beyond gentlemanly flagging of ships.

Whether its a naval escort, some kind of pre-arranged deal (Iran needs $$ too), an insurance agreement or a combo of the above ... oil and gas and fertilizer will have to flow soon. It's pressure point that *will* give.

@PGATOUR @the_cognizant Pro Tip: Don't wear white.

Warning: Not for the faint of heart ⚠️ The Bear Trap at @The_Cognizant bites back.

In 1990: • 3,100 people per square mile • Median home = 2.0× median income In 2020: • 4,200 people per square mile • Median home = 4.7× median income As density increased, affordability collapsed. Yet Metro’s strategy doubles down on higher-density housing and subsidies instead of expanding supply and allowing more single-family homes. If the goal is affordability, the data should matter.

Happy Birthday to the one and only Ron Santo today! Click your heels for Ronnie.

Couldn’t have said it better myself!! 🫶🏼 Baseball is the best!!

Oregon government has a well-earned reputation for open government. But some local governments want the Legislature to shield them from public scrutiny: oregonlive.com/politics/2026/…

@KATUNews I have no thoughts. What/who is "bad bunny"?

What did you think of the Bad Bunny halftime show?

Oregon soon will have to make its safety net Medicaid program smaller. Yet handouts to billionaire basketball team owners still are in play?! Kotek lobbies NBA commissioner to keep Trail Blazers in Portland as team and county at odds over arena funding oregonlive.com/sports/2026/02…

So on the one hand, City of Portland claims a starvation budget. On the other, a proposal to hand tens of millions to the Trailblazers' billionaire owners. Portland leaders look to city’s cash-rich climate fund to help keep Trail Blazers in town oregonlive.com/politics/2026/…

@Matt_Pinner Not a hard question, but the game is hard: golf.

This is hard

@obvious_shirts Greatest. G-r-e-a-t-e-s-t. 😉

@BNightengale A new Zobrist?

The Cubs now can move Matt Shaw to second base and trade Nico Hoerner or simply make Shaw a super utility player

@MarkRolfingGC @BrendanPorath Agree 110%.

🤙 @BrendanPorath…What a piece of writing! thefriedegg.com/articles/pga-t…

@CubsZone @ARizzo44 Maybe Cubs make a similarly impactful acquisition before Spring Training.

14 years ago today, Anthony Rizzo was acquired via trade from the San Diego Padres. Best trade the Cubs ever made. The rest was history. ❤️🙏🏼 @ARizzo44

TriMet is pushing to redesign 82nd Avenue in projection for the next 25–40 years. Portland's plan for transit demand decades into the future has yet to work. Nearly 40 ago, Portland integrsted the light rail system —and it has never performed as promised. Long-term guesses shouldn’t lock the region into permanent congestion.
