There should be an MLB rule to limit the number of intentional walks. We wanna see pitchers go after hitters. The 2nd time a player gets 4 straight balls IBB, they go straight to second base. Can’t repeatedly pitch around great hitters. No fun for anyone! Ohtani Bonds

Hegseth and the all-generals-at-Quantico meeting signaled that fights are won solely by brawn and not by brains. No regard for superior strategy, thoughtful cunning, and diligent diplomacy. Instead of physical training tests, how about basic IQ tests?

Dems need (and needed) to take Bernie Sanders movement seriously. He was the powerful progressive bookend to Trump MAGA.

What is this "ground game" that Dems talk about? Most people hate when strangers knock on their door to proselytize. It doesn't work. And neither does pouring millions of $ into TV ads. What a colossal waste of $. It's 2024. Build your digital ground game. Media Influencers.

Dems and specifically white Dems don't understand Latino immigrants who reside here legally and their views of undocumented immigrants.

@JamesSurowiecki With all due respect, Dems and specifically white Dems don't understand Latino immigrants who reside here legally and their views of undocumented immigrants.

I assume Trump is going to try to go ahead with his mass deportation plan. But it is interesting to consider whether his success with Latino men will lead the GOP to look for a strategy for dealing with undocumented migrants that's less potentially alienating to Latino voters.

@nycsouthpaw If the President has absolute pardon powers, then isn't s/he effectively always immune by nature of pardoning himself? Which Trump intends to do

On page 8, Chief Justice Roberts decides that no prosecution of the president can be premised either on a use of the pardon power or on the firing of an executive branch official (like, say, the Special Counsel who is investigating the president).

@mcuban Stop focusing on just Biden vs Trump. It's bigger than one man. It's about an entire administration. Competent Cabinet members. Future Supreme Court Justices.

@t_blom Low probability, but how do you manage the potential large liability risks?

I’d like to visit NYC for 3 weeks in May. Does anyone want to do a house-swap?! I’ve got a 3 bed apartment in San Francisco (Noe Valley) - I’d like to stay somewhere in Manhattan or Brooklyn. I’ve looked at the house-swapping platforms but there’s no liquidity. And Airbnb is banned for stays under 30 days.

For years the western world admonished Muslims of faith to condemn their "Islamic extremists". Where are the Christian leaders today warning of the false prophets and Christian nationalism emerging in the world? nytimes.com/2024/04/01/us/…

@JamesSurowiecki We're using a false construct of reason to understand their decision-making, when it's obviously anything but. Trump is about cultism. Aggrievances. Feelings. These folks are angry and feel done against, put down by some others...society, elites, etc. And they want pay back.

I may have to take my last tweet back. This is an even more delusional reason to vote for Trump. "That guy who can't stop endlessly nattering on about 2020 - he's put the past behind him."

@BillAckman @NeriOxman "Attack" on your family? So whenever you identify (as you have) those who have plagiarized, then it is an attack? 🤔

My wife, @NeriOxman, was just contacted by Business Insider claiming that they have identified other plagiarism in her work including 15 examples in her dissertation where she did not cite Wikipedia as a source. Business Insider told us that they are publishing their story this evening. As a result, we don't have time to research their claims prior to publication. It is unfortunate that my actions to address problems in higher education have led to these attacks on my family. This experience has inspired me to save all news organizations from the trouble of doing plagiarism reviews. We will begin with a review of the work of all current @MIT faculty members, President Kornbluth, other officers of the Corporation, and its board members for plagiarism. We will be using MIT's own plagiarism standards which can be found here: integrity.mit.edu/handbook/what-… We will share our findings in the public domain as they are completed in the spirit of transparency.

@NoLieWithBTC We must reform the Constitutional pardon power of the President. Because of exactly this. Breeds authoritarianism

Wow. Nikki Haley just went full MAGA, saying she’d pardon Trump and she doesn’t even care if Trump is guilty or not: “It’s not about guilt or innocence.” She says you can’t have an “80 year old sitting in jail.”

@nytimesarts @zinoman Minhaj still can't appreciate how his lies dilute the true stories of racism. He profits off it $$. Comics can't have it both ways claiming it's just a joke when they want to embellish, and that's it's true life when they want to document

Hasan Minhaj took to the Beacon stage to address the New Yorker story in a series of jokes that got one of the biggest responses of the night. Getting your image scuffed up a bit can add a little more tension to your comedy, @zinoman writes. nyti.ms/3tlDLMJ

@ianbremmer Okay...how do you "destroy" Hamas and ensure it never returns?

destroying hamas will make israel more safe. destroying the lives of 2.3 million palestinians in gaza will make israel less safe. protecting the lives of civilians is a matter of basic humanity. it’s also in the self interest of israeli citizens.

@Culture_Crit Library of Congress?

Any I’ve missed?

Libraries are supposed to be magnificent temples of learning. These are the 25 most beautiful examples on Earth 🧵 1. Trinity College Library, Dublin, Ireland 🇮🇪

@11thHour @PabloTorre Same description of That Guy is...Ted Cruz

“The dude has been ridiculous for 20 years.” @PabloTorre shares an anecdote of former classmate - now GOP candidate for President - Vivek Ramaswamy.

@NoLieWithBTC Vivek Ramaswamy isn't doing this to become POTUS. He just wants free exposure, and he's getting it! He was a nobody, and now the press is writing about his every stupid outlandish talking point. Trump 2016 all over. Same damn mistakes from the media. Never learn.

Vivek Ramaswamy just blamed the Jacksonville mass shooting— where a neo-Nazi murdered Black people— on Democrats, universities, and “the media.” He says it’s their fault for creating a “racialized culture in this country in the last several years.” 🔗floridapolitics.com/archives/63113…

@madrid_mike Vivek Ramaswamy isn't doing this to become POTUS. He just wants free exposure, and he's getting it! He was a nobody, and now the press is writing about his every stupid outlandish talking point. Trump 2016 all over. Same damn mistakes from the media. Never learn.

The rise of Vivek Ramaswamy has hurt Tim Scott the most. Scott’s candidacy is predicated on giving angry White voters justification for their actions while Vivek is actively leading the mob.

@atrupar Vivek Ramaswamy isn't doing this to become POTUS. He just wants free exposure, and he's getting it! He was a nobody, and now the press is writing about his every stupid outlandish talking point. Trump 2016 all over. Same damn mistakes from the media. Never learn.

LMAO -- Ramaswamy says Mike Pence should've used the opportunity on January 6 to unilaterally implement universal single-day voting and voter ID. Beyond parody.

Chuck Todd: Why do you think there are more race-based violent crimes on the right than on the left? Ramaswamy: I don't think we should politicize this Todd: Do you ignore the manifesto?
