🚨NEW: Democrat James Talarico has defeated Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton, becoming the first Democratic elected to the U.S. Senate in 38 years.
RETWEET if you are proud to stand with @JamesTalarico!
Cruelty is the point: Rachel Maddow is reporting 10 million Americans will be kicked off Medicaid on Jan 1, and 20 million more will be ruined by skyrocketing ACA premiums.
The Trump regime's timing is pure barbarism. It was designed to brutalize regular Americans by pulling the rug out from under people the second the midterms ended and all the votes were locked in — with ZERO fucks given to the human suffering it will cause.
Forcing working class families to choose between buying food and losing life-saving healthcare isn't just a cynical Republican policy decision, it's a cruel and sadistic betrayal of 30 million Americans.
@SetupManKyle If we wanted to leave him off wildcard roster what are the rules? Can we add Justin? If we add Justin this weekend someone gets sent down who has options. Then can we shelve Cabrera somehow or ghost injury and maybe add Hollowell?
Ron White to Joe Rogan: Talarico didn't cost this state $6 million in fines and lawsuits, and that happened with Ken Paxton. Guess who paid that $6 million? You and me paid the $6 million for his bribery. His own party impeached him. He's a criminal. He's a piece of shit.
Texas is delaying its typical September 1 release of maternal mortality data until December 1, conveniently timed to be after the midterm election. Recent reports show a sharp rise in ectopic pregnancy deaths after the abortion ban went into effect.

BREAKING: MLB has suspended umpire Doug Eddings for the remainder of the 2026 season, including the entire postseason, per sources.
The decision comes after Eddings’ controversial performance during Friday’s Cardinals-Rockies game, which included ordering rookie Hancel Rincón to straighten his hat during his MLB debut, issuing a pitch-clock violation during the ensuing dispute, ejecting Cardinals manager Oliver Marmol and later making a heavily criticized safe call at home plate.
MLB officials reportedly reviewed the sequence overnight and determined Eddings’ conduct did not meet league standards.
Eddings will be eligible to return in 2027.
@Brett_A_Taylor@AndrewG42571802 But guys they are just the little ole underdog trying their best 😂. There has to be a shelf life for that right? You win the division how many years straight then you are no longer and underdog. Maybe you use more unique approach but seriously stop the woe is me crap Brewers.

@Brett_A_Taylor Sucks for us as fans but I feel worse just for him. He had the mental game figured out and had to feel like he was over the hump and bam. Sure hope they get a permanent fix for him.
This has to be so frustrating for Ben. I was really looking forward to seeing him be a weapon in post season. Wishing him the best to find a permanent answer.
#Cubs Ben Brown is experiencing symptoms again after his outing yesterday. He will fly with the team back to Chicago and consult with doctors to determine what’s next.
Dolly Parton rose from poverty to stardom. She gave $500 to every student in her hometown who finished high school, she built hospitals and bald eagle preserves; her Imagination Library has gifted 300 million books to children. Roger Ebert once met her and came away thinking she was a literal angel. RIP.
