Dodgers and Irish

This is my cry for help. Please, anyone, in 2018 prevent me from spending my whole disposable income on ND and the Dodgers

[Joseph Miscimarra 🇺🇸 @jmisci]

I honestly don’t know how anyone can still defend Brandon Johnson.

This was his once-in-a-lifetime chance to set re-structured transit boards up for success, and the mayor just wasted those seats.

[Saagar Enjeti @esaagar]

No we fucking don’t

Independent analyses estimate that your actions to dismantle USAID and drastically reduce lifesaving foreign aid have already killed 700,000 people. Here are some of those people. 🧵https://t.co/aKdQpk9QTW

[Chad Moriyama @ChadMoriyama]

Yeah, the biggest thing with the Dodgers is how their old-ass geriatric team continues to get better defensively while out of position. It's truly baffling.

What did Austin do? Loosen zoning restrictions. Speed up the permitting process. Build. Build. Build.

@stephsmns54 @realBlagojevich It's not difficult to look up

The outgoing state comptroller said the next mayor of Chicago needs to have a "come to Jesus moment" with union leaders and demand the concessions needed to prevent city employee pension funds from going bankrupt and dragging the city under. https://t.co/ltiMiNvWg6

This is a small program but it is sooooo dumb and economically backwards. STOP SUBSIDZING DEMAND! If you want more affordable and abundant housing, work to increase supply. Preferably by letting the private sector build. This is not hard. Or at least it shouldn't be...

[David French @DavidAFrench]

"Under President Trump and @SecWar Hegseth, meritocracy reigns supreme at the War Department."

This is a self-refuting sentence. There is no world in which a meritocracy yields Pete Hegseth as secretary of defense.

Survey time: How favorably or unfavorably do you view the Chicago Bears majority owner McCaskey Family?

[Derek Thompson @DKThomp]

Within one 24 hour period, Trump:

- got out of a $100 million IRS fine
- secured "immunity" from all future tax investigations for his family and friends
- created a $1.8 billion slush fund for lawbreaking supporters
- was reported for likely insider trading worth nearly $1 billion

All of the obvious things to say about this are true. It's bad. Nobody even tries to defend it. The closest thing to a defense you get is something about how "but Democrats suck" and "woke was also bad," which is not a defense, but rather a kind of moral blank check made out to the administration to give them the right to do anything.

But what I'm most curious about is whether this sort of lurid corruption creates a countermovement that successfully returns government to rule of law or whether it's establishing a norm of executive imperialism that every future administration will use to achieve its ends, which can always be justified by the moral blank check of "the other side is worse, so let us do whatever we want."

With the commitment of 2027 OT Oluwasemilore Olubobola, Notre Dame now has five top-100 prospects in a single class for the third time in the last four years.

Before Marcus Freeman, the Fighting Irish had gone a decade without five top-100 players in a cycle.

[Andrew Kerr @AndrewKerrNC]

So Politico had Swalwell dead to rights in 2019, only to drop the story because he dropped his presidential campaign.

"The energy disappeared to potentially take him out."

Swalwell, apparently emboldened, then went on to (allegedly) assault more women.

Good job, Politico!

[Kurt Bardella @kurtbardella]

Both Swalwell and Gonzales should resign. There. See how easy that is.

Joe Kernen comes close to having a coronary on air as Pete Buttigieg dogwalks him all over the Squawk Box studio about Trump's economic mismanagement and inflation

[Jay Parsons @jayparsons]

Why would any progressive say (effectively) that families don't deserve to live in a single-family house until they're wealthy enough to buy?

Truly bizarro-land, regressive stuff under guise of "investors are bad" mantra.
