Chad Tracy has been awesome. Beyond just wanting the Red Sox to win, I’m glad that they’ve at least given him this run. He came into a shit situation and had to deal with a lot of bullshit that he didn’t ask for. He deserves the praise for what’s happening right now.

The ball gets away from Pete Crow-Armstrong and the Brewers get a little league home run!

[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."

Welcome to the big leagues.

Here’s 104 on the black. 😳

[Rob Friedman @PitchingNinja]

Jacob Misiorowski with perhaps the most ABSURD first inning ever. 😳

10 Pitches at: 102, 103, 103, 103, 103, 103, 103, 103, 103 and 104 mph.

Despite playing in the sport’s smallest media market, the Milwaukee Brewers have reached the playoffs in seven of the past eight seasons. Not even baseball’s smartest computer systems saw them coming. https://t.co/zkenkQMGR2

[Ted Lieu @tedlieu]

This is an asinine statement by @DAGToddBlanche, that there was “a lot of work by law enforcement over the past year.”

Did agents print out the seashells picture and look at it upside down? Send it for DNA testing?

Blanche is bringing this loser case again to kiss trump’s ass.

[George Conway ⚖️🇺🇸 @gtconway3d]

I really wish we could
86 all the stupidity from the ridiculous timeline we are on.

[George Conway ⚖️🇺🇸 @gtconway3d]

I'm trying desperately to 86 my hysterical laughter at this incredibly imbecilic indictment, @DAGToddBlanche, and the @TheJusticeDept, but I fear I won't be able to.

[Tim @TeeLeck]

Todd Blanche should be disbarred

[Jared Carrabis @Jared_Carrabis]

The Chad Sox are something different, man.

[Dan Szymborski @DSzymborski]

Here, for all your Red Sox Chad memes.

@rharris415 @ChaseCenter @springsteen These lines are ridiculous

“A very productive Regime Change!” 💪

[Mehdi Hasan @mehdirhasan]

Just wanted to remind folks, especially the GOP and the FDD, that Barack Obama’s 2015 nuclear deal didn’t give Iran control of the Strait of Hormuz or allow it to keep 60% enriched uranium. It sent $1.7 billion to Iran versus the tens of billions Iran will now make from tolls. 🤷🏽‍♂️

[Qasim Rashid, Esq. @QasimRashid]

Iran Deal By Obama:
•Strait of Hormuz open for free
•Iran limits Uranium enrichment
•Iran agrees to make no nuclear weapons
•Iran allows Int'l inspectors to ensure compliance
•Inspectors confirm Iran's full compliance

Iran Ceasefire By Trump:
•Strait of Hormuz closed, only open for $2M Per Ship
•Iran makes no guarantee of limit on uranium enrichment
•Iran makes no guarantee of no nuclear weapons
•Iran makes no guarantee to allow Int'l inspectors

MAGA: Trump Playing 5D Chess! Art Of The Deal!!

[Ben Rhodes @brhodes]

In the best case scenario, Trump struck a deal to reopen a Strait that was open before the pointless war he started, with the IRGC demonstrating its control over the Strait and potentially extracting fees plus sanctions relief. Thousands of innocents - including hundreds of children - dead in Lebanon and Iran for no reason. U.S. troops killed and wounded. U.S. embassies and bases in the Middle East badly damaged. U.S. standing in the world obliterated. U.S. munitions badly depleted. Hundreds of billions spent. Prices up everywhere. More global economic fallout to come. Putin strengthened and enriched. Just a catastrophic situation even in the best of circumstances. A profoundly shameful episode in American history no matter what happens next.

[Derek Thompson @DKThomp]

Bibi has been fruitlessly begging US admins to bomb Iran and unleash the animal spirits of regime change for decades, like some shitty startup striking out with traditional VCs, over and over again — and like the savvy CEO of a shitty startup idea, he finally found a dumb-money septuagenarian family office to fork over a huge check. Genuinely embarrassing shit.
