@JefferyReyjwr @ScottPorch1 @SFGiantsFans @RedSox @ABREG_1 Agree. The problem is that the Red Sox then threw away the return.

@Bodsybaby @NittanyCentral He takes accountability (speaking of the staff) three different times in the material quoted here. I think his overall assessment of a team that just expected to show up and win is spot on.

@EricLDaugh This happens every year. Not a Trump/Hegseth thing.

@joesmeltzer775 This one may be hard to top in shame: OSU 2016. Left at end of 3rd quarter, cold and tired after a long day of tailgating, with PSU down 21-7. Had taped game, decided to avoid radio and watch sad end when we got home. Phone started blowing up on the drive. You know the rest.

@soledadobrien By that, you mean a reporter asking fair questions to pols on both sides of the aisle?

@TerryTharp98025 @CSOonX LaVar wore the stix.

@imjenell Watergate aside, it worked for Richard Nixon.

@MAGAMAHACindy This is actually quite an un-American take.

Never thought I’d be retweeting this guy, but here we are…

[Senator Rand Paul @SenRandPaul]

For anyone putting loyalty to a person above loyalty to the Constitution, Justice Gorsuch’s remarks should be required reading. His words are a reminder that our highest duty is to the rule of law and the founding principles that define America.

@FXRegan @_Matt_Marshall @BulwarkOnline I disagree about CNN — leans left but is not close to the approach Fox News takes on the right. I agree with your point that between the digital age and the Trump era, many news orgs are essentially picking a lane to survive. As a news consumer (and retired journo) I hate it.

[Mark Brackenbury @mpbrack1]

@FXRegan @_Matt_Marshall @BulwarkOnline It is true that many media outlets *lean* left, in terms of choosing and framing stories from a left perspective while also reporting responses from other perspectives. That’s far different from openly cheerleading for the right and mocking the left, as orgs like Fox News do.

@grok @LangabNation1st @OleTimeHardball Oof. Not your best moment, @grok.
Front: Steiner, Cohn, (Buccigross?)
Middle: Scott, Roberts, Berman, Davis
Back: Eisen, Gary Miller?, Patrick, Levy, ?, McKendry, Tirico.

@MaryMargOlohan Ethically, I agree with you here. But that’s a long way from a federal civil rights violation.

[Mark Brackenbury @mpbrack1]

@PhilNvestigates Agree. Problem is you have MAGA sycophants with an agenda in the press corps now.

@Hoopss Literally hundreds of thousands of parents and grandparents can responsibly have a glass of wine while playing a game with the kids.

@brithume As the saying goes, prosecutors can get a grand jury to indict a ham sandwich. Not a particularly high bar, as you know.

Whatever you think of Don Lemon’s politics, arresting a journalist for covering a story — and then seeing the White House celebrate it — is chilling. This is dangerous stuff.

@ChrisCotillo Seems like a reasonable approach to start. Ideally, Mayer shows enough eventually to win the job full-time with Romy as a utility guy.

@LauraLynn1960 @dontforgetchaos @janeclarejones Where exactly is the gun he’s reaching for?
