The Padres dropped down three straight sacrifice bunts. The Reds failed to record a single out on any of them.

Can you tell a "partisan gerrymander" just by looking at a map? Most people think so. But it actually depends what you mean: do you mean election districts that are truly competitive? Districts that are representative of the voters? Districts whose boundaries follow lines on a map, or the communities where people live? These are legitimately hard questions, and there are real tradeoffs. No system is perfect. But the system we have now is purpose-drawn specifically to suppress half or more voters in the state and to permanently suppress their representation - and that cannot stand.

There’s often no better way to make a message resonate than when it’s wrapped in a cloak of levity, and that’s where the supremely talented @traecrowder steps up. Let’s get his assessment on ICE operations shall we? He’s also well worth checking out live. (Tour dates at the end of the clip) 🎥 TikTok - vm.tiktok.com/ZNRyMDJDo/

From @springsteen : I wrote this song on Saturday, recorded it yesterday and released it to you today in response to the state terror being visited on the city of Minneapolis. It’s dedicated to the people of Minneapolis, our innocent immigrant neighbors and in memory of Alex Pretti and Renee Good. Stay free, Bruce Springsteen

Update: After FEMA broke the law and canceled $200 million for NC, we took them to court. And we won. This was a big case for our state - here’s what happened:
