Jordan Walker is the 2nd Cardinal ever in history to have 17+ HR, 50+ RBI, and 10+ SB in the first 65 games of a season. The other Cardinal to ever do it? Rogers Hornsby in 1922. #stlcards

The @Cardinals win their 6th straight! 🔥

Wait, so we were told to take shorter showers, turn off the tap while brushing our teeth, and conserve water at every opportunity… but data centers can show up and use millions of gallons like it’s nothing?

[Cardinals Talk @theredbird_way]

good morning, everyone. The Cardinals play the Mets in Queens today😤

Scaffolding is going up on the sidewalks around the Chemical Building, likely to protect pedestrians from any falling debris as the building continues to sit and await any successful redevelopment initiative.

It's currently under contract and could become apartments and a hotel.

[MLB @MLB]

It's a series sweep and four straight wins for the @Cardinals!

As part of the (nearly complete) Tucker Cycletrack project, three bus boarding islands were built between Washington & Clark. Riders board and disembark from these accessible islands on the west side of Tucker from busses that use this route:

no regime change in iran, no handpicking of the next supreme leader.

no dismantling of iran’s proxies, no restrictions on its ballistic missile and drone programs.

an agreement to downblend the highly enriched uranium inside iran.

the destruction of iran’s navy, but an emboldened iran that is prepared to disrupt the strait.

throw in the cost in lives, the global economy, and the global treasure, and the reputational damage to the united states…and president trump has some serious explaining to do.  

next up: cuba

The learning recession for American students began in 2013. Decades of progress began to reverse:

[Elizabeth Warren @SenWarren]

This is an unprecedented level of corruption.

Trump is forcing the government to drop ALL tax audits of him, his family, and his businesses—giving him FULL IMMUNITY from prosecution.

What is Trump hiding from the American people?

Congress must step up and stop this corruption.

Kudos to Zohran Mamdani for exposing the lie behind Ronald Reagan’s most famous quote.

This is what true public service looks like.

[Heather Sutton @heathercsutton]

The United States already owns an official ballroom.

It is Mellon Auditorium and sits, appropriately, on Constitution Ave.

And, fantastically, it was just renovated in 2023.

So, it's time to stop talking about a $1 Billion dollar ballroom.

For those spaces, imagine restaurants, day cafe/night bar, rooftop bar, and a clothing store. They’re great spots for local businesses to open in and help with the revitalization.

I want to see new businesses with the new residents (more moving in when Old Judge is complete).

[MLB @MLB]

The @Cardinals have won 13 of their last 18 games!

Take the break and spend some time in nature. You're important. The outdoors and public lands are waiting for you.

President Obama on Iran: “We pulled it off without firing a missile. We got 97% of their enriched uranium out. There’s no dispute that it worked and we didn’t have to kill a whole bunch of people or shut down the Strait of Hormuz”

[Jo @JoJoFromJerz]

So in case anybody’s counting, today he called not one, but two female reporters “stupid.”
He is going to continue to do this.
He’s going to start calling them far worse.
Because nobody fucking stops him.

Congratulations to Mayor Mamdani. He inherited a huge budget deficit, brought it down to zero, and still invested in childcare, housing and city infrastructure.

When municipal governments stand with working families, not billionaires, there is nothing they cannot accomplish.
