@Sensodyne_US I love your toothpaste but hate the packaging. The plastic used for the tube is so soft and flexible that it twists almost all the way around when you unscrew the cap and makes it difficult to open and close. I wish the tube was made out of a more rigid material.

Trump crying about rigged elections, but remember when he was literally recorded trying to rig an election?
How the fuck is this traitor the president of the USA? What the fuck is wrong with you people?

Can any member of the #Cubs bullpen get through an appearance without giving up a HR?

Former Fox News host Pete Hegseth’s crusade to purge women and people of color from our Armed Forces has never been subtle.

But today, a New York Times exposé revealed exactly how far he’s gone to dismantle the careers and achievements of our finest servicemen and women.

More than a dozen military insiders — both active duty and those already purged — spoke to the Times anonymously to unmask a horrific ongoing attack.

They detailed a process used by Hegseth and his team to halt senior officer advancements for reasons completely unrelated to merit, job performance, or fighting wars.

Hegseth’s efforts are part of a quest to advance his white-and-male centered worldview, facts, history, and actual service be damned.

In the absence of any such evidence, insiders confirmed that he has used his position to withhold promotions from qualified, decorated veterans. The Times cited several enraging examples:

• Last fall, Hegseth ordered Army Secretary Daniel P. Driscoll to remove two Black and two female officers from a 29-person promotion list. Driscoll repeatedly refused, citing their decades of exemplary service. In March, Hegseth bypassed him, removed their names, and sent the modified list to the White House.

• In total, Hegseth has removed 32 officers from Air Force and Navy one- and two-star promotion lists. He also pulled the only Black officer and the only female officer from a Marine Corps list, leaving their promotions in limbo.

• Vice Adm. Sara Joyner, a highly decorated three-star fighter pilot, saw her advancement stalled over a 2021 Navy recruiting ad where she said, "I’m not just a girl with a dream. I’m a sailor with one." Hegseth deemed the line a "big problem." Joyner has since retired.

• Rear Adm. Stephen D. Barnett was recommended for a promotion after successfully managing the aftermath of a massive Navy fuel spill in Hawaii. Hegseth blocked his advancement after Barnett participated in a Navy-sponsored Pride event back in 2018.

It is an outrage to watch a media personality whose greatest battles have been with hangovers intentionally harm the careers of people who risked everything to keep America safe. Hegseth’s actions are insult to all who have served and a risk to national security.

#Cubs Sellers at the deadline. They should start now after dropping 4 of 5 against the dregs of the NL.

The Alex Bregman signing is looking like a giant mistake. The guy plays a solid 3rd, but can't hit. #Cubs

How do you take all of the good feelings and positivity from putting up 4 in the bottom of the ninth inning for a walk-off, and then come out and absolutely lay an egg? To one of the worst teams in all of baseball?
This team is truly pathetic. #Cubs

[Steve Cavolick @SCavolick]

@Cubs This team is not making the playoffs. You can't even beat the dregs of the league. Every player you signed to a large contract or extension has been a disappointment. The only positive story this season has been the development of Ben Brown. Just sell at the deadline.

[Steve Cavolick @SCavolick]

Kevin Warren got the stadium, but it feels like he lost. It's wrong and icky to move it to IN. I am very disappointed. #Bears
