Bash: "No, I wasn't part of the problem."

RFK: "It was absolute press malpractice."

Bash: "Do you want to sit here and attack me or do you want to have a conversation about public health?"

BREAKING: The New York Times is reporting that at least seven states have had their water infrastructure targeted by Iranian cyberattacks. Yesterday, Trump baselessly blamed Minnesota for the attack instead of Iran because he doesn’t like Tim Walz.

Ali said he hit Joe Frazier with punches that will crumble a brick wall yet Frazier will not fall. He said he knew he was in big trouble.

This is why the Ali-Frazier trilogy remains the greatest rivalry in boxing history.

U.S. intelligence agencies now believe Iran was behind a coordinated cyberattack that hit more than 30 municipal water systems in Minnesota this week, that’s according to several U.S. officials who spoke to The Washington Post.

But Trump isn’t buying it. Instead, he blames Minnesota Governor Tim Walz, saying: “I think that Minnesota is behind it. You know who is behind it? Minnesota. Because they’re grossly incompetent. I think the governor is behind it. I don’t think there was an Iranian cyberattack.”

Sound familiar? It’s basically Helsinki all over again. In 2018, Trump stood next to Vladimir Putin and said he believed Putin’s denial rather than the U.S. intelligence community’s assessment that Russia meddled in the 2016 U.S. election.

Once a traitor, always a traitor.

It was #OTD in 2016 that the Brian Matusz Game on Sunday night baseball happensed. Five wild moments
1. Matusz gave up three 2 run homers in 3 innings and never pitched for the #Cubs again
2. Travis Wood pitched, played left field, made a remarkable catch in the ivy, and went back to pitching
3. Cubs tied it in the 9th on a Steve Cishek wild pitch
4. Willson Contreras makes a sliding at the wall catch while playing left field in foul territory
5. Jon Lester layed down a perfect squeeze bunt to walk it off
