Dominic Smith is the first player in MLB history to hit a walk-off grand slam in his team debut, per Elias.

The scariest thing about this is the blatant lying.

No investigation. No genuine desire for truth. Just a shameless coverup while a family is shattered, a funeral is prepared and a country breaks one day at a time.

Take a moment to look at the inhumanity captured in this extraordinary photo running on the front page of tonight's Minneapolis @StarTribune. It shows federal immigration agents immobilizing a protester on the ground and spraying chemical irritant directly into his face. The scene reminds me of the brutality used against civil rights protesters in the 1960s. We look back at those old photos and wonder how the authorities could have behaved so savagely; many years from now, young Americans will look at these photos from 2026 and wonder how anyone could have justified shooting a woman in the head as she tried to drive away, arresting 5-year-old schoolchildren on the street, or holding a man down and spaying chemicals into his face. Thanks to the Star Tribune reporters and photographers for documenting this work; they create accountability, they make democracy work, and they make all of us in journalism proud.

This is so reprehensible and wrong. Threatening to execute political opponents is not democracy. We can reject these calls to violence on Tuesday.

This passage from Michelle Obama:

"I hope you'll forgive me if I'm a little frustrated that some of us are choosing to ignore Donald Trump's gross incompetence while asking Kamala to dazzle us at every turn. I hope that you'll forgive me if I'm a little angry that we are indifferent to his erratic behavior. His obvious mental decline. His history as a convicted felon. A known slumlord. A predator found liable for sexual abuse. All of this while we pick apart Kamala's answers from interviews that he doesn't even have the courage to do, y'all."

Going to concerts alone is actually great. You can float around like a ghost haunting the venue. The amount of beers you drink is influenced by nobody. "What's the move for after?" is whatever you decide. You may not speak a single word for hours.

[Governor Josh Stein @NC_Governor]

This is a flat out lie. We’re working with all partners around the clock to get help to people. Trump’s lies and conspiracy theories have hurt the morale of first responders and people who lost everything, helped scam artists and put government and rescue workers in danger. - RC

I've heard some of you don't have strong enough service for the video to play, so here's a transcript:

Western North Carolina was just smashed by a flood that tore through everything and a lot of people are stuck and running low on supplies.

If that’s you, I want you to know what is happening right now to get you what you need.

There is a massive mobilization underway led by Governor Cooper. The National Guard is on the ground. Hundreds of guardsmen, aircraft, highwater vehicles. They’ve done over a hundred rescues and have brought in over 30,000 pounds of food, water, medicine, delivered by air and ground. We’ve got heavy lift aircraft from seven states running those missions. The Asheville airport has re-opened, but not for commercial traffic, only for relief supplies.

There are dozens of search and rescue teams from across the country on the ground. We’ve got about 700 people focused on search and rescue handling the most urgent situations.

Water is a top priority for the region. The damage to treatment plants was severe. We’re talking more than repair - some of them are going to require rebuilding. We will be bringing water into the region for an extended period of time.

Thousands of linemen from across the country and Canada have arrived to get the electricity back on. Two days ago, there were a million people without electricity. Now it’s about 400,000. But a lot of substations flooded and the water has to recede before repairs can be done.

All hospitals all open, but some are on backup power. We’re working to get all hospitals back on grid power.

More than 1,600 people at the NCDOT are working to re-open critical roads. They are focused on gaining access to communities that have been cut off so we can get food and water in.

Emergency mobile cell towers are on the way to ten western counties. Their locations will be announced once they are in place. Cell phone carriers have activated “disaster roaming” so that any phone on any carrier can access any network to place calls.

Governor Cooper’s request for a major disaster declaration has been approved. That means if your home was damaged or destroyed in a disaster area you can apply online right now for help from the Individual Assistance program.

And if you’re watching this from somewhere other than Western North Carolina and can help, you can support at https://t.co/bOUY4Tz1Nq. That effort is being managed by United Way.

And for folks who are cut off and watching this and waiting to see some help, please know, you are the primary mission. An enormous effort is underway to get to you. You are the top priority for thousands of people and help is coming.

Stick together, help is on the way.
