Guy running for *checks notes* Governor of Ohio can’t name a *single place* in the Mahoning Valley

@EJXD2 Since I was having enough trouble trying to pick a winner, I did a quick pick for funsies. Also did an even/odd bet (I bet even; odd won). For casual bettors, these options are as viable as “I like thst horse’s name” betting 7 to win in every race.

@Tinky47flat @ChurchillDowns @TwinSpires My silver lining is it did show that there is at least ~some~ market for a quick pick feature. 30k-35k in "random" ticket sales on a Thursday night doesn't seem meaningless. Is this just misguided optimism?

The $691k score on the jackpot 8/octafecta on Thursday @churchilldowns was a single one dollar ticket purchased @TwinSpires using the quick pick feature horseracingnation.com/news/TwinSpire…

If you thought closing day at Aqueduct race track for $5 was bad, wait til you see the prices on Del Mar Race Track Opening Day. Holy smokes.

First Saturday of May. First Saturday of June. First Saturday of July. Stop the debate. Take Action. It's Broken. Fix it. @FanDuel_Racing @ChurchillDowns @KentuckyDerby @TheNYRA @PreaknessStakes @BelmontStakes

Alex Jones is warning that the government's UFO disclosure is part of a larger plan to stage a false flag event and blame it on aliens. He says the entire operation is nothing more than a major psyop designed to target people of faith. Jones says disinformation agents in Congress are working with government-controlled pastors to convince Christians that aliens are real and to have "your faith shaken." "They're using it to undermine Christianity while claiming to defend it."

“He got back to the track yesterday and seems to be in good form. He seemed to bounce out of it [the Derby] well and shipped nicely. He’s probably enjoying the cooler weather.”-HOF trainer Todd Pletcher on KY Derby runner-up RENEGADE settling in Saratoga More in today’s notes 👇

No surprise. After Trump failed to reimburse Florida for Alligator Alcatraz, the state is now moving to shut it down. Nearly a billion dollars of taxpayer money. Inhumane conditions. Environmental travesty. Ron DeSantis built this. Branded it. Gave no bid contracts to his buddies. Threw a party to celebrate it. Now he wants to quietly shut it down and hope no one notices. We notice. And every official who let it happen will answer for it.

Could this be where the ballroom donors’ money is going, as the @GOP leaves taxpayers stuck with what is now s $1bln bill?

Trump Supporters Complain About Not Receiving Illustrious Gold Trump Phones After Paying $100 Deposits Hundreds of thousands of Trump supporters paid $100 deposits for the Illustrious Gold Trump phone, also referred to as T1 or Trump Mobile, but have not received the devices months later. Posts claim Donald Trump Jr. and Eric Trump collected around $60 million from these preorders, with the website fine print stating no guarantees of production or refunds. WTF did they expect?

One year ago today, the Holy Spirit gave us the gift of Pope Leo XIV @Pontifex. Let us all pray today that the Holy Father will continue to be guided by that same Holy Spirit. Ad multos annos!

Thomas Massie reveals that the White House took Lauren Boebert to the White House Situation Room, a room used for major crises, and demanded that she remove her name from the Epstein discharge petition. "The president vetoed a bill that would've brought water to a large portion of Colorado." "Why are people in Colorado being deprived of water because their representative wants to expose a child trafficking ring?"

yeah, I’ve looked and $4.55/gal is down 2 cents from the recent peak but I also see prices a year ago averaged $3.13/gal

Donald Trump’s iron grip on MAGA proves the great American philosopher P.T. Barnum was right: There’s a sucker born every minute.

Trump appears to have called ABC reporter Rachel Scott a “bitch” as he walked away from the press. On camera. The same man who had the FCC open an investigation into ABC over a Jimmy Kimmel joke. The same man whose press secretary lectured America about violent rhetoric after the WHCA shooting.
