The D.C. Universe

According to Star Trek canon, MLB folds in 2042. So let’s enjoy baseball while we can.

Someone recently said something like “Elon may own this place, but it’s still ours.”

A nice sentiment. But I’m pretty sure it is in fact his. One man single-handedly destroyed the best website ever created. Dare to dream, kids.

Anyway. I’m not leaving. But I’m not not leaving.

@SBF_FTX @realDonaldTrump @rsalame7926 @JuanOrlandoH As a Democrat, I think @realDonaldTrump should pardon @SBF_FTX.

By pardoning Sam, who gave MILLIONS to Joe Biden and may well have PERSONALLY cost Trump the election in 2020, Trump would be sending a message of peace: “There will be NO consequences if you work with my enemies.”

They snuck in one black guy, but otherwise a diverse coalition of whites; old, really old, moderately attractive, goths, HGH users and those who enjoy staring at eclipses.

@matt_terl This week’s content warning was a little more on-point. I see they also went back and fixed last week’s episode.

I wonder if someone who had a job at HBO this time one week ago no longer does.

[The D.C. Universe @dcuniverse]

@matt_terl That’s amazing. But yeah, if they intended this a gag, I think they would have gone in the opposite direction and been like “TVMA: Smoking, Lots of Penises.”

[The D.C. Universe @dcuniverse]

@ericfingerhut If Amy Grant can get in, is it really that much of an exclusive club?

[The D.C. Universe @dcuniverse]

@Beerbullets @MAGAVoice Buddy, the parliamentarian can’t add things to a bill.

And Democrats didn’t add this.

So who does that leave?

[The D.C. Universe @dcuniverse]

@charliemassie Hindsight is great! But I’m not losing any sleep over this one. Like I said eight years ago, if I’m going to kick myself for not investing in Bitcoin, it’s when I could’ve thrown a hundred bucks in on a lark and be worth nine figures right now, not when it would’ve cost $16,500.

[The D.C. Universe @dcuniverse]

@charliemassie If it were 2010, and they were eight cents each, I might just do that. But $16,500 is a little out of my price range.

[The D.C. Universe @dcuniverse]

@matt_terl Kept an eye out for this. I’m pretty sure it was the tub of Ben’s chili you can get in grocery stores.

[Dan Steinberg @dcsportsbog]

Ok here is my John Feinstein thread. It's gonna be long.

I saw someone praise him yesterday by saying he never made it about himself, which struck me as just about exactly wrong. He ALWAYS made it about himself. It's who he was, at least as long as I knew him

[The D.C. Universe @dcuniverse]

@BrendanDarr Right?

[The D.C. Universe @dcuniverse]

@CBSScottWhite Every team may be able to afford him, but how many have a realistic shot at signing him? Five or six, max? With the Dodgers being overwhelming favorites?

If anything, seems like this gives other teams a chance to get deals done while the Dodgers, Padres, etc are frozen in place.

[The D.C. Universe @dcuniverse]

I’ve never been to Nashville and now it looks like I’ll have an excuse to finally go.

[Marc Topkin @TBTimes_Rays]

Our ⁦@romano_tbtimes⁩ on why #Rays’ deal for new stadium appears all but dead after Pinellas didn’t approve bonds, and how that could lead to goodbye to baseball in Tampa Bay https://t.co/tWVxQhkYmN

“Soto’s bounced around because…the Nationals weren’t interested in signing him to a long-term deal”

[Awful Announcing @awfulannouncing]

Dan Patrick is anti-Juan Soto: ‘I’m not spending $600 million on him’ https://t.co/leIojSijfl

Somewhere, a Democratic staffer who has access to the report is struggling with the ethics of leaking it to reporters. Meanwhile, if this were a damning report about a Dem congressman being a sex offender, Fox News, Charlie Kirk and Elon would already have copies.

[Kyle Griffin @kylegriffin1]

Breaking: Mike Johnson says he does not think the House Ethics Committee report into Matt Gaetz should be released.

November 2024: No one is taking vaccines away. We just want to let people make informed decisions.

June 2025: Some vaccines are being banned. But just the bad ones.

November 2025: HHS has determined that getting a Covid vaccine is worse for you than getting Covid. As such…

[Josh Jamerson @joshjame]

Billionaire Elon Musk and the president’s son, Donald Trump Jr., both advocated behind the scenes for Trump to pick Kennedy, according to people familiar with the discussions. https://t.co/bkwavBc5Jl

[The D.C. Universe @dcuniverse]

The one unqualified success of Trump’s first term was the Covid vaccine rollout, so yeah, why not take a sledgehammer to that part of his legacy?

[Semafor @semafor]

Vaccine skeptic and former independent presidential candidate Robert F. Kennedy Jr. has been nominated as Trump’s health and human services secretary.
