@OliviaNBCLA The 2014 Tigers had five guys who all finished careers with Cy Youngs and World Series wins.

Verlander, Scherzer, David Price, Rick Porcello and Robbie Ray. And yes all of them won World Series AFTER leaving the Tigers just like Skubal will.

Just a reminder that Rand Paul is an “opthamologist,” certified by an ophthalmology board that he created. Rand Paul is not a virologist. Rand Paul’s wife invested in Remdesivir during the height of Covid as he pushed the drug on Americans. The Pauls failed to disclose their investment for 16 months. Rand Paul got richer during Covid.

There was plenty senators could have asked Dr. Fauci about what lessons he learned, and the country should, from the COVID pandemic. Instead they engaged in an obvious attempt to demonize and entrap the 85-year-old, who received the Medal of Freedom from a Republican POTUS for the work he did to save millions here and abroad from the AIDS epidemic.
This was not about public health. It was about one senators longstanding vendetta.

Anthony Fauci saved my life and if you’re reading this, he saved yours too.

Today’s vile, witch hunt was yet another embarrassment visited upon us by this administration and this Congress.

I filmed RFK Jr (who gave Dr. Fauci’s personal diary to Rand Paul) at this anti-mandate rally a few years ago. They had photographs of Fauci dressed as Mengele. People were wearing yellow stars and connecting the mandate with the Holocaust.

Rfk even evoked Anne Frank. He equated Fauci with the rise of fascism to people have no idea what that means. I was born in Washington DC during World War II.

My uncle was shot down by the Nazis when he was 20 years old in 1942 it’s hard to believe it only took one generation of lost eyewitnesses for it to take hold here.

Solar means more green jobs. It’s also a key solution to the climate crisis.

STOP calling it:
• "Save the planet"
START calling it: • "Save our homes" • "Save our food" • "Save our children"
Because that's what it is. #ClimateCrisis

This is why @Tigers should be buyers and not sellers at the trade deadline. We’re better than our record. With more than 50 games to go, we can catch them, especially if we acquire a couple of modest upgrades for the bullpen.

The guy who called Biden “Sleepy Joe” falls asleep in private meetings, public meetings, and public events multiple times every day. Every single day. He fell asleep at a funeral today. And the media, who harped all over Biden’s age, doesn’t even talk about Sleepy Donald.

[Prof Peter Hotez MD PhD DSc(hon) @PeterHotez]

We really need to collect the stories of all 200,000-300,000 Americans who needlessly died from Q3 2021 to Q3 of 2022 from Covid bc they refused Covid vaccines. They fell victim to a deliberate campaign of anti-science disinformation led by the Murdoch media empire, some Spotify podcasters, 4-6 members of the U.S. Congress, and wellness influencers who knowingly pushed ivermectin as a substitute when they knew it did nothing for Covid. Horrible sociopaths who did it for greed, political gain, or who were desperate for recognition

Did you know?
Tackling climate change requires both global cooperation and everyday actions, uniting mitigation (reducing emissions) and adaptation (building resilience).
Simple Daily Actions add up to make a great impact!
1. Save energy by turning off unused lights and using efficient LED bulbs.
2. Walk, bike, or use public transit instead of driving cars.
3. Reduce waste by recycling, reusing items, and cutting down on single-use plastics.

We have normalized that in almost every meeting Trump holds with foreign leaders, unless the leader is a woman, all attendees are white men. I can’t remember that being the case on our side for decades. And now it happens so frequently, people don’t even comment on it anymore. Trump is once again moving us backwards by decades.

It's been four years since the Supreme Court's Dobbs decision opened the door to state abortion bans.

Now, a new study finds those bans are hurting women who aren't seeking abortions at all. Researchers found delays in miscarriage treatment increase the risk to a woman’s health and fertility and prolong the grief of a lost pregnancy.

@SarahVarney4 has more.
