Just saying, the Dodgers had the best record in baseball and the Mets were never supposed to make the post season. Now, the Mets have outlasted every other team except for two. Whatever happens, it’s been amazing. The pressure is on Dodgers. #LGM

Tell me you’ve only just jumped on the Mets bandwagon without telling me you’ve only just jumped on the Mets bandwagon: This Mets team sucks. #LGM

José Iglesias just performed 'OMG' at Citi Field after the Mets win

Just want to give a shout out to the behind the scenes @Mets crew. Every sound and light and scoreboard message was spot on yesterday. The pitching change sequence was amazing! #LGM

Yes, I am pissed that they didn’t cancel the games earlier or move them to a different city, but for a half second, let’s put all of that aside. I hope Helene moves on quickly and everyone is ok so we can get back to the business of baseball. #LGM

I will fully admit I didn’t have faith in Ottovino. He proved me wrong. #LGM

I take full responsibility - I was exhausted and went to sleep. I won’t do that again. #LGM

A cross is not hate speech. But if you burn it on your Black neighbors yard, it is. “Free Palestine” is not hate speech. But if you spraypaint it on a synagogue, it is.

It’s entirely reasonable to simultaneously: -Stand with Israel, -Condemn Hamas’ terroristic slaughter of Israelis & Americans, -Demand the release of Israeli and US hostages, and -Express concern re: innocent civilian Palestinian & Israeli lives. We can do this.

Hamas slaughtered every person - Jewish and Muslim, young and old. This is Awad Darawshe, a Muslim paramedic who raced to the site of the music festival massacre to treat the wounded. He too was murdered by Hamas. His ambulance was stolen and driven into Gaza. May Awad’s memory be a blessing.

Also, proportional response doesn’t mean that Israel can’t do more damage than was done to it. Israel is entitled to use the amount of force necessary to destroy or ameliorate the threat—Hamas. And if Hamas puts noncombatant Gazans at risk by storing ammo and equipment and putting fighters in hospitals, mosques, and schools, it’s Hamas that is committing war crimes and causing the collateral harm, particularly given the warnings the IDF has given. – at Washington, DC
"Proportional response" is meaningless. Israel doesn't decapitate babies and take grandmas hostage. That's what people have in mind? If not, what level of fire power is sufficient to defend Israel from next round of fascist slaughter of innocents?

All Americans should be horrified and outraged by the brazen terrorist attacks on Israel and the slaughter of innocent civilians. We grieve for those who died, pray for the safe return of those who’ve been held hostage, and stand squarely alongside our ally, Israel, as it dismantles Hamas. As we support Israel’s right to defend itself against terror, we must keep striving for a just and lasting peace for Israelis and Palestinians alike.
