Any and every elected official in this country must clearly articulate that Trump's desire to "end a civilization" is un-American and a truly dark day for this nation. Their constituents and history will judge silence as being complicit.

@bmsatter @TheCantoneZone @crimsonace @CoachSwit I think the greater issue is pay to play which is different than "travel" gobbled up kids so the local rec leagues couldn't sustain. Those fed into the 2-3 tournament all-star type travel teams of the 90s. That ecosystem is largely gone in many smaller towns.

@TheCantoneZone @crimsonace @CoachSwit See, parents can pick and choose their experiences based on what they want and what they love. No need to get all angry at travel ball teams just because they offer another option.

Travel baseball has turned into:
Pay tons of money to play.
Pay to travel.
Pay to stay.
Pay to watch your own kid.
And somehow… this became normal. Will it ever change or just get worse?

@mattparlmer They were either duped into a culture war or knowingly joined it against Anthropic to benefit a competitor. It’s central planning for corporate profit.

Current senior staff at DoW are incompetent and are fighting fake culture war battles instead of doing their jobs, that’s the explanation
Ted Lieu@tedlieu
The Department of Defense just agreed to the same two conditions with OpenAI that Anthropic was asking for. Can someone explain? I genuinely don’t understand.

Letting China plug into a 180M American brains each month is insane.

@BSMotorCity Driving my 7 & 3 year old boys home from swim. We got in the car as runners went 1st and 3rd. I showed the boys what a rally cap was and placed it on my head. We listened to Dan Dickerson's call and screamed like maniacs the whole way home.

As a kid with a stutter watching him do this was so empowering. It gave me hope. During the summer of 1993 my mom took me to therapy every morning, and we would talk about James Earl Jones all the time.

RIP James Earl Jones, the legendary actor who memorably appeared in the iconic baseball movies "Field of Dreams" and "The Sandlot" Jones gave a moving recitation of our National Anthem at the 1993 MLB All-Star Game in Baltimore

What a life. Thanks for giving us everything you had, Silky.
Bill Pascrell, Jr. 🇺🇸🇺🇦@BillPascrell
It is with deep sadness that we announce that Bill Pascrell Jr., our beloved husband, father, and grandfather, passed away this morning. As our United States Representative, Bill fought to his last breath to return to the job he cherished and to the people he loved. Bill lived his entire life in Paterson and had an unwavering love for the city he grew up in and served. He is now at peace after a lifetime devoted to our great nation America.

And if elected, Trump would pardon him.

The way he used the word “humane” to describe a woman’s healthcare decision is jarring. Like all a woman deserves is to be treated humanely like a farm animal. Disgusting.

Here’s my full exchange with former President Trump on mifepristone. I understand the questions at today’s news conference were very hard to hear.

Alex Rodriguez asked a question. Reggie Jackson answered it.
(Shouts to the producer and rest of the desk for staying out of Reggie’s way and just letting him talk. I doubt they expected this answer. But it’s a great few minutes of television.)

@EconomyBen I am so sorry for you and your family. I always loved his work. My deepest sympathy.

This is Ben’s partner, Sara.
I’m heartbroken to tell you that Ben died on Saturday, June 1 after a brief illness. He loved his family, being a journalist, rooting for the Yankees and the Commanders and so much more. He’ll forever be in my heart and will be missed by so many. 💔

New: House Democrats have a big reason that Mike Johnson is worth saving – he’s not Kevin McCarthy.
“McCarthy was both incompetent and dishonest," said Rep. Dan Kildee, but "Johnson is just incompetent."
Pelosi says Johnson has been “courageous.”

Imagine Miggy showing up to your softball league. Aluminum bat. Dear God. Who is playing the hot corner with that going on?

Miguel Cabrera: "I'm feeling good. I feel like I gave everything I had in baseball. Right now I can say, 'OK, that's enough.' I didn't want to leave baseball and say I can play more. No, I can't play anymore. No more baseball for me. Volleyball and softball."
