So the guy who birthed the idea of slowing down Starlink to aid Russia—a decision that resulted in death and risk to US personnel in Ukraine—is also the biggest donor to the Republican party and is single-handedly trying to tilt the Texas Senate race to the GOP. I have that right?

Pete Alonso being left off the AL Gold Glove finalist list is ridiculous. He deserves to be in the conversation.
He posted a .997 fielding percentage with just 4 errors across 143 games at first base.
How is he not a finalist?

This is a canary in the coal mine moment. Bezos doesn’t care about anything other than following which way the wind blows. Right now Rump is very unpopular so Bezos gets to tell the truth instead of kissing Donnie’s ass.
BEZOS: When you're in the polling booth and you're thinking about who you're going to vote for, think about this. If there's a politician that is picking villains and pointing fingers, that's probably means they don't have a solution
If there's an executive at one of my companies, instead of working on a root cause and a real fix, all they did is point fingers and blame people, we would exit them quickly.

🚨BREAKING NEWS🚨
Trey Mancini received 91% of over 52,500 votes and is now officially inducted into the Hall of Pretty Good as an Inner Circle member.
Mancini was born on March 18, 1992, in Florida. As a high school senior, Mancini batted .480 with six home runs, catching the eye of Notre Dame, where he would go on to play while pursuing a degree in political science.
After a successful collegiate career, Mancini was drafted in the 8th round of the 2013 MLB Draft. After performing well in the minors, Mancini made his MLB debut on September 16, 2016, when rosters expanded. In his second at bat, Mancini crushed his first career home run off Eduardo Rodriguez with his parents in attendance. Mancini became only the fourth Oriole to homer for his first career hit.
Mancini would parlay that strong start into a six year Orioles stint that included a standout 2019 season, when he posted an impressive .899 OPS with 35 home runs and 97 RBI.
As many know, during his Orioles tenure in 2020, it was revealed that Mancini had been diagnosed with stage 3 colon cancer. He completed chemotherapy by the end of 2020. For many, this would have understandably been the end of their careers, and there would be no shame in that. But Mancini refused to quit.
After kicking cancer’s butt, Mancini went on to play parts of four more MLB seasons, including winning a World Series ring with the Houston Astros in 2022. He even played in five games for the Angels in 2026, showing he still had it by batting .308 with a 110 OPS+.
Mancini overcoming cancer and continuing his career is undoubtedly inspiring, but make no mistake, he deserves this induction based on his own merits on the field. Mancini hit 129 career home runs with a .775 OPS and a 110 OPS+.
It’s an honor whenever we get the chance to appreciate a ballplayer, but this one feels even deeper than that. Mancini’s strength and perseverance through unimaginable circumstances is something that should inspire everyone, and it is an honor to have him in the Hall of Pretty Good.

If Democrats do everything right, the national debt will matter again at 12:01 pm on January 20, 2029.

A Yale study just concluded that Medicare for All will save an estimated 114,000 lives every year and reduce overall healthcare spending by $1 trillion.
Medicare for All saves lives, saves money, and covers everyone with every doctor being in network.
A new study shows that Medicare for All would save over 114,000 lives and over $1 trillion every year.
The new research out of Yale shows that reductions in administrative overhead, lower pharmaceutical prices, less fraudulent billing, and fewer emergency care trips would lead to massive savings nationwide.
More accessible care would also lead to numerous lives saved.

When the Democrats take power, the Republicans will suddenly be concerned about the debt. Bookmark this.
THIS IS INSANE
National US debt just hit a record high of $40 TRILLION.
Out of 45 U.S. presidents in history, President Trump is now solely responsible for 28.6% of the national debt.

Federal officials said in court documents that they halted billions of dollars in funding for energy projects to states "based solely" on whether they backed Trump in the 2024 election.

The depth of cravenness by Mark Walters of the @Dodgers is stunning. But a thought occurred to me, so I checked. And yes:
"U.S. prosecutors and the SEC are investigating Mark Walter's insurance companies and Guggenheim Partners for possible financial improprieties."

If you are the DOJ, it is unprecedented to lose 17 straight voting cases in 17 different courts without winning a single one. It's even more remarkable when 8 of them were decided by judges appointed by Trump.
How long will the networks ignore this?

James Talarico: “You may not be interested in politics, but politics is interested in you. Your boss at work, he cares about politics. Your landlord, he cares about politics. Your insurance company cares about politics. Until you care about politics, they’re gonna keep using the political system to screw you over”
