@YankeeReport_ It's true. Thanks Gene Michaels, too, cause he's the one who insisted that the Yankees stop trading away their phenoms so they could acquire 35-yr-old veterans. Ergo: Bernie, Jeter, Posada, Mariano, Pettitte, World Series rings, and today, Judge, Jones, Lombard Jr., Schlittler...

Former Gov. Paul LePage is the first candidate I can recall running a bilingual French-English ad — and using it to take a hard line on illegal immigration

Oh I see, Republican Paul LePage supports trump’s fascist ICE policies until it affects one of his relatives.

WSJ: President Zelenskyy confirmed that Trump asked him to stop striking Russian oil refineries, citing rising diesel prices. Zelenskyy’s response was straightforward: “Diesel may matter to some, but our lives matter more.”

@ChrisKirschner He may indeed be back soon, but only for a few days, after which he'll feel his injuries again. Poor Stanton, poor Boone, poor me and the other @NYYankeesFans.

@Jimfrombaseball Great stories!
I always got a kick out of the spitball and knuckleball pitchers. (1) The pitches were slow enuff so I could follow the ball's zigzag. (2) Because these guys weren't throwing hard, they pitched forever. Sutton, Perry, Tim Wakefield etc. pitched well into their 40s.

@DesmondCampbell @JamaicaGleaner @RoyalCaribbean Just yapping, maybe, but as someone who has never worked in finance, let alone mergers & aquisitions, I appreciate the yap.

[Jamaica Gleaner @JamaicaGleaner]

During the first half of 2026 global tourism "metrics revealed stark contrasts. Africa and Europe recorded solid growth rates of 4% and 3% respectively, while the Americas achieved a moderate 2% increase in arrivals." https://t.co/ZvCdJr3dIa

My fear: A friend with Parkinson's Disease who can no longer walk is now in a subsidized nursing home because he can no longer pay the full fare himself. In a year or so, will cuts in Federal programs leave him homeless? https://t.co/xJSctVewVT
