VOUCHES NEEDED I don’t know how well this will work but if we’ve done deals buying or selling can I get some vouches please and thank you!

@RNCResearch @TMZ They voted to pay TSA. Mike Johnson and the House decided to continue the GOP shutdown.

.@TMZ making sure you saw Democrat socialist Bernie Sanders living large on his first class flight out of DC while he forces Americans to go without pay.

You woulda thought driving your car off a fucking mountain and almost losing your leg woulda been a sign to not drive like an asshole. I’m glad he’s probably ok but Jesus man come on.

@ImtiazMadmood It’s Friday, he’s gotta get to the golf course.

Something big is happening or is about to blow up. President Donald Trump has just abruptly left the White House celebration of Greece's Independence Day. In his unmistakable style, he dropped: "I'm supposed to be somewhere at 5 o'clock... No way am I missing it!" This isn't just any exit. When Trump leaves an event like this, with that phrase, the clock is ticking. Something important is calling him... and everything points to it being memorable. - @Real_JFK_Jr_

@Michael_Cerami It’s 1 game so I’m not worried. Mostly annoyed because the lack of clutch hits with RISP just seems fi be a continued trend with this team no matter who they have. No need to worry until June.

I honestly thought the Cubs played fine yesterday. Matthew Boyd got shelled and that was that. They didn't get "the big hit" but they were on base a ton and did score four. Amount bothered 0/10. It was a pretty normal loss, when the starter leaves with 6 runs on the board.

@iK9cards Typically it’s in case opening day gets rained out, they have the next day to play it as a single game instead of a forced double header or something. Why they do it for teams with domes (white sox/brewers) doesn’t make sense though.

Genuine question, what is the point of splitting the opening series games for Pirates vs Mets? Thursday-Saturday -Sunday is the dumbest shit. If you want weekend games just schedule the opener a day later.

I’m not saying this has any bearing on the season moving forward, but at what point can we just admit Counsell is overrated. I still don’t know what he’s done here to justify being a top paid manager. Someone can easily correct me, but I don’t see it.

@CasualReb People can do whatever they want, but bragging about ringing up 60-70k on her dad’s CC in college just drinking to then say people won’t party during the week, is crazy.

Your literal job was to party, fuck, and drink on camera on the Jersey Shore this summer. Sit this one out

@JakeSherman So again, they will have the GOP shutdown continue.

It’ll take it a step further. I don’t think the House will take up and pass the senate DHS bill as is. There’s talk about restoring CBP money and adding voter ID.

If anyone happens to have a 1968, 1976 of 1983 Topps Fergie Jenkins SGC slabbed I’d be a buyer. Prefer 7+ but beggars can’t be choosers.

@RepKeithSelf Ice is already funded. They just wanted more money. Stop lying.

In the dead of night, with only five senators present on the floor and no one there to object, the Senate rushed through a DHS funding bill that deliberately left ICE and CBP unfunded. Now, they are leaving town. No SAVE America Act. ICE and CBP unfunded. Senate Republicans just gave the Democrats everything they wanted and more.

@kodkod87 @mattmfm So no additional funding for ICE? I’m confused at what you’re getting too? Everyone will get paid now (ICE already was), ICE isn’t getting the extra money because there was no reform?

@Ben_Russo @mattmfm So no reforms 😂😆

While you were sleeping, the Senate unanimously passed what Democrats pushed for over a month: fund TSA and other essential agencies but withhold funding for ICE until there’s substantial reform. Republicans made America suffer for nothing.

@1776Andrew @CalltoActivism What a shitty unprofessional pillow slinging grifter.

@CalltoActivism What a shitty, unprofessional process server.

🚨BREAKING NEWS: My Pillow Guy Mike Lindell was just served with a lawsuit while being interviewed on LIVE TV. You could not script this.

@kodkod87 @mattmfm Ice has always been paid through this. They didn’t get their additional funding they wanted.

@mattmfm So wait, ICE still gets paid and y'all get no reforms at all. 😂 You thought this was a good plan?

@HRH_SHP @SethAbramson So, what I got from this. Trump decided not to let them eat or keep their homes for a month before agreeing to pay them?

It’s neither interesting, nor true. Congress refused to do their job and threw a temper tantrum, causing Americans to suffer. Once it became clear that Chuck wasn’t going to let them eat or keep their homes Trump had to step in, because it became an emergency at that point. Congress controls the purse strings, it is inappropriate for the president to step in and pay people unless things are dire. They are now dire, they weren’t a month ago.

I was *so interested* to learn today that Trump *always* had the ability to pay DHS agents from his personal slush fund (the 2025 BBB Fund), he just chose *not to do so for a month*. Isn't that interesting?

@GHankins25 @SenFettermanPA Of course you’re not concerned with anything he said. Why hold the president to a higher standard.

@Ben_Russo @SenFettermanPA The service member you are referencing was dirty and tried to put the President in jail. After being shot, and arrested, not concerned with what he said. Repeat violent offender here illegally murdering a Veteren is different.

Here in Philadelphia. Truly appalling. These assholes chanting for the death of our servicemembers. Where’s the Dem outrage and condemnation?

@allthecards_mlb $5 Ohtani $3 Griffey $1 Ohtani GQ

You’ve got $9 to spend. How are you spending it?

@Run26to100 @CardPurchaser Funny part is, I pulled 2 of these out of a hobby box.

Just pulled this from a Heritage hanger. It’s the burgundy. Can someone please tell me what the count is for burgundy? Thanks @CardPurchaser

@CubsZone Still can’t hit with runners in scoring position, not surprised. Oh well 1 of 162.

Thoughts on the first Cubs game?

Good to see Ben Brown in mid season form already.
