How do you sum up a day 44 years in the making, a moment that seemed would never come? How do you properly convey how a team can undo a half a decade of heartbreak in one night in LA? You don't, but this was the best I got. Hope it does it justice. jsonline.com/story/sports/ml…
Milwaukee deserves a World Series. Now, it finally gets its shot

Milwaukee deserves a World Series. Now, it finally gets its shot

After 44 years of waiting, the time has come for a World Series. Milwaukee deserves it. And these Brewers have delivered.

Thought about your dad today while reading a NYT story on the Washington Post, @ChadHartmanShow. Sid often told me @StarTribune should have a “scoreboard” with byline totals per reporter/columnist. He knew he’d be on the top.

While Trump belittled the @TeamUSA Women’s Hockey team, let’s all take a minute to congratulate them and thank them for such an amazing ride. Each and every one of them! And yeah, thank you @FlavorFlav too!

When I was at ESPN, I was asked to have Jack Hughes write a letter to his future self during his draft year. This passage stands out today... espn.com/nhl/story/_/id/2643…

I was just laid off by The Washington Post in the middle of a warzone. I have no words. I'm devastated.

Waking up without power, heat, or running water. (Again.) But the work here in Kyiv continues. Warming up in the car, writing in pencil — pen ink freezes — by headlamp. Despite how difficult this job can be, I am proud to be a foreign correspondent at The Washington Post.

“What do they do with the people they detain?” an out-of-state relative asked last night. Here’s the disturbing answer, based on outstanding reporting by @StarTribune. startribune.com/no-humanity-…
‘No humanity’: Detainees describe conditions inside Whipple Federal Building

‘No humanity’: Detainees describe conditions inside Whipple Federal Building

Immigration sweep brings overcrowded rooms and overflowing toilets. Lawyers say they can’t visit their clients. The Department of Homeland Security says “all detainees receive full due process.”

Editors @nytimes: Lose the word “appear,” and you’ll be correct. See @WSJ.

A retired St. Paul police officer argues in a new @MinnPost commentary that the ICE agent who shot and killed Renee Good made basic, avoidable errors. minnpost.com/community-voice…
Retired police officer: The Renee Good shooting was a failure of tactics and law

Retired police officer: The Renee Good shooting was a failure of tactics and law

It's likely that the behavior and tactics of ICE agents in Minnesota stems from a mix of incompetence and impunity.
