One of the most disappointing endings to an MLB season ever?😬
A franchise that committed over $1.8 billion to just five players:
Ohtani: $700M
Betts: $365M
Yamamoto: $325M
Tucker: $240M
Snell: $182M
2026 adjusted payroll: $339M
Deferred salary commitments: $1.1 billion
And after all that, they get SWEPT in the NLCS by a Milwaukee Brewers team with a $146M payroll 🧹
All DOGE required was contact information of the recipients to confirm that funding was not fraudulent. No validated medical funding was stopped.
Anything that appeared to be legitimate lifesaving funding continued and is now administered by the State Department.
If anyone had actually died as a result of DOGE, their names would be worldwide headline news!
On the other hand, USAID did help fund the Wuhan Virology Institute, which caused the deaths of millions, and the revolution that started the Russia-Ukraine war.
Rest in Peace, Deputy Sheriff Randy Hoppert of the Tulare County Sheriff’s Office in California. End of Watch: April 9, 2026.
Deputy Hoppert served for over 6 years and was a veteran of the United States Navy.
The FBI sends our prayers and condolences to his family, friends, and colleagues left behind. They will have our full support.
