I live a charmed life. I consider myself the luckiest guy on Earth. But there are a lot of days when this T-shirt says it all.

@ChrisHenrique@GregABedard Count me as a believer, perhaps the last one in New England. Three games out of the WC and no team wants to face this pitching staff in the playoffs. Just put my $ where my mouth is on DraftKings.
π¨NEW: Federal Judge Leonie Brinkema has blocked Donald Trumpβs $1.8 billion βanti-weaponizationβ slush fund to pay January 6th insurrectionists.
RETWEET to thank Judge Brinkema for standing up for our democracy!
My first swim after carpal tunnel surgery! No pain! Yay!
Sleeping and #swimming were when I had experienced the most pain pre-surgery. Most nights I could only sleep on one side so I could dangle that arm off the side of the bed. No more. Now, totally #pain-free hands!
With Brenda's birthday approaching and the temperatures skyrocketing to the mid 90s, it was a no-brainer to take The Best Wife Ever (TM) up to Ogunquit Beach. Life is good!

@SmittyOnMLB Addition by subtraction. That bum wouldnβt even practice at 1B even though itβs what the team needed. Donβt want that as your team culture. Good riddance. We won even if we got nothing back.
Pedro Martinez gives a passionate response when asked about the Red Sox struggling. It included a David Ortiz βthis is our bleeping city.β He also talked about Jason Varitek and Alex Cora:
Here are a few reasons why nobody should take Melania Trump seriously.
When Donald Trump publicly mocked the killing of Rob Reiner, Melania stayed silent.
When Donald Trump publicly celebrated the death of Robert Mueller, Melania stayed silent.
When Donald Trump publicly, and repeatedly, called Marjorie Taylor Greene a "traitor," triggering death threats against her and her family β threats that the former representative said the president blew off and dismissed when she asked him to stop β and continuing his public attacks against her even after she informed him of those threats, Melania stayed silent.
When U.S. intelligence essentially confirmed Donald Trump's war against Iran mistakenly hit a school, taking the lives of nearly 200 children β while her husband refused to acknowledge the mistake, take responsibility, or even apologize β Melania stayed silent.
When Donald Trump and his oldest son publicly mocked the attack on Nancy Pelosi's husband, a senior citizen, with a hammer by a fanatic who had supported Donald Trump's lies about the results of the 2020 election, Melania stayed silent.
When a Donald Trump supporter hunted down Democrats, taking the lives of two while shooting two others in an act of horrific violence in Minnesota last year, and Donald Trump didn't even reach out to the governor of the state to offer help or condolences, Melania stayed silent.
When Donald Trump chose to attack and criticize Michigan Governor Gretchen Whitmer after an attempt to kidnap her by far-right radical lunatics was thwarted, rather than simply expressing relief that these lowlifes who were plotting to do so were stopped, Melania stayed silent.
She's married to one of the worst human beings on the planet. An absolute lowlife piece of garbage who's among the most disgraceful people to ever be allowed to call themselves "president" β who spends hours every single day lashing out and attacking others with some of the most vile statements imaginable β and Melania stays silent.
Oh, but when Jimmy Kimmel makes a joke about her husband's age in a comedy sketch β now the thin-skinned, easily triggered snowflake who married a man who's only two years younger than her father for his money has something to say.
Just... stop.
Go away.
Nobody cares.
In my lifetime, there's not been a First Lady who's less consequential than Melania. She's a clown whose biggest accomplishment will be marrying a man old enough to be her father for his money and not throwing up while they conceived their son.
And if my words are harsh, I don't care. When she took up a cause "against cyberbullying" while she's married to the most infamous cyberbully on the planet, while never once standing up to any of the horrible things he's said online β she can F all the way off.
She needs to be like the rest of us, sitting around waiting to read that big, beautiful headline so we can all celebrate.
Until then, nobody cares what she has to say about anything β including her husband.
Release day for my new #suspense novel PAIN TRAIN! Yay! Readers who got early copies via my Kickstarter campaign have been unanimous in their praise. "LOVED the book!" wrote one. "I had trouble putting it down!" said another. Available everywhere (link in comments).
This should be on the front page of every newspaper in America.
A Syrian billionaire needed U.S. sanctions lifted so he could cash in on $12 billion in reconstruction contracts.
In an attempt to influence American foreign policy, he proposed a Trump-branded golf course, cut Jared Kushner & Ivanka Trump into a multibillion-dollar real estate deal for a resort in Albania, and had someone physically deliver a stone engraved with the Trump family crest to a Republican Member of Congress with instructions to take it to the White House to get the President's attention.
Trump threw his weight behind repealing the sanctions. They were lifted. The contracts are moving, the Trump familyβs deals are expanding, and not a single Washington Republican is willing to say a word about any of it.
This is a corruption of everything the office of the presidency is supposed to stand for, and the American people deserve to know about it.
