@richarddeitsch Giminez is batting .103 over the past two weeks and has gotten 3 hits in the last 10 days. Don't pinch run for Okamoto with Straw. I rather Sanchez and Valenzuela hit that inning than GIminez and Sanchez.
X is a funny place because here I can be told that I don’t watch sports by someone with “I hate sports” in their bio while, simultaneously, in the real world I’m still crashing out because John Schneider didn’t pinch hit for Andres Giminez in the 9th inning last night.
@LeoOD3@davidfrum@TheAtlantic Trump does seem to understand that there is a desire to “fix” college sports - his executive order was asinine but it landed on the home-screen of everyone with the ESPN app on their phone. It’s something millions of Americans actually care about and feels fundamentally broken.
Politicians need as much attention as possible, as frequently as possible, while seeming as relatable as possible—and a cheat code exists to hit all three objectives, @natfrum writes: https://t.co/F3bBS5izio
Cut for length, some additional takes include:
- Is Joey Chestnut the greatest American athlete of all time?
-Why doesn't Gavin Newsom appear on podcasts and bemoaning the destruction of the Pac-12.
- Why isn’t Illinois’ Governor Pritzker debating MJ’s legacy on X?

Thanks to @davidfrum for having me on his new(ish) show at @TheAtlantic to talk election administration, Fulton County, and the weird connection to Nicolas Maduro.

SCOOP: Nursing home firms donated $4.8M to Trump's super PAC in Aug-Sept.
Their executives got a lunch in Aug. at Trump's golf club where they asked him to revoke a rule to increase staffing to prevent patient neglect.
His administration revoked the rule https://t.co/mlwx4w1DVA

Reporter: You received a letter from AG Pam Bondi making several demands….
Walz: I would just give a pro tip to the AG. There's 2 million documents in the Epstein files we're still waiting on. Go ahead and work on those
"Recent events have brought Trump’s governing style into sharper focus," Jonathan Rauch argues. "'Fascist' best describes it, and reluctance to use the term has now become perverse." https://t.co/XGWCH0Ipi2
“Roving bands of masked federal agents with total immunity executing gun owners” is the kind of sweaty conservative fantasy we’ve heard over the last 20 years on cable news and now that it’s here, they love it
That's an image of General Washington crossing the Delaware to fight the Battle of Trenton, whose chief strategic purpose was to impress the King of France and win the foreign aid that enabled American victory. Why can't we have more historically literate Nazis in this country?
Exclusive: President Trump’s use of tariffs may have been more extensive than was publicly known.
Internal government documents obtained by The Post encompass an array of national security goals as well as the interests of individual companies. https://t.co/7gHR9s52bx
OK maybe Trump wants to lie about job numbers, his golf scores, and the historical fact of his two impeachments ... but his word is totally solid on the total innocence of his long intimate friendship with America's most notorious sex offender.
One of the aspects of the British experience with Jeremy Corbyn that is already being repeated here: people with zero (or worse) regard for Jewish life and Jewish safety scolding actual Jews about how wrong and stupid we are about Jewish life and Jewish safety.
Appointing Robert Malone to the vaccine board seems like a worst-case scenario for the future of vaccines.
His Rogan appearance during the pandemic went viral for arguing, essentially, that people were only willing to take the vaccines because they had gone temporarily insane.
