For all the headlines Caitlin Clark is getting, and all the records she is breaking, this might be part of her most memorable legacy. – in 2024 her recent games have scalper selling tickets at Final Four World Series prices.

Meanwhile, the SF Giant have finally won their first Spring training game. On a brighter note, the team is undefeated in March.

And Giants signed Matt Chapman. Will he be a great Giant? Hope so. At least he’s not another ‘San Francisco was a strong contender but. I signed with fill-in-the-blank” guy.

Russians lined up for hours for Navalny’s funeral service. 115 people were arrested.

Thy know they were risking their freedom, maybe even their lives to attend the service. But these Russians care about their country and democracy. All we need to do in America, in 2024, at least, is to VOTE.

As student of British history am struck by how many in GOP think they will get power by supporting & enabling Trump & will still avoid being thrown under bus by him someday. Many ambitious people felt the same way about Henry VIII. Most of them ended up in pieces. Literally.

So John Cornyn is running to replace Mitch McConnell as GOP leader in the Senate. How’s that gonna work out if Texas secedes?

Nikki Haley just told Dana Bash Friday morning “Michael and I got our children from “fertility processes” So is she saying she used IVF?

And if so how can Haley not be in favor of legislation to protect all Americans having access to the process? #weathervane

Biden on Texas wildfires: ‘When disasters strike there’s no red states or blue states’

Joe directed feds to do “everything possible” to assist fire-affected communities & has FEMA guaranteeing TX & OK will be reimbursed for costs. Has a single GOP Texan thanked him? I’ll wait.

GOP telling us relationship with staffer is grounds to be removed as prosecutor on case about overturning an election.

GOP also telling us being MARRIED to someone involved in insurrection to overturn election not cause to be removed as SCOTUS judge on case. Make it make sense.

And GOP talking nonstop on nursing student murdered in GA by an immigrant. But nothing on 11-yr-old girl murdered by American w/ record for enticing a child.

Or 2 MN police + 1st responder murdered by an American man w/ priors for domestic violence.

Or 13 year old girl killed in Kissimmee Florida by her mother’s American boyfriend, who may have been abusing her for a couple years.

GOP care about politics, not life.

If you know ANYONE who is just the slightest bit interested in voting for RFK Jr. simply tell them this: RFK Jr. wants the GOP leader in the Senate to be Rand Paul. No joke.

The wildfire in the Texas panhandle is now the largest fire in Texas history.

President Biden has sent federal help and indicated FEMA will reimburse Texas and Oklahoma for costs. Joe did this without any negativity towards state whose leaders fight him at every turn. Why isn’t media covering this?

Stephen Colbert on Trump’s delay tactics: “Dec 11, 23, Jack Smith begged SCOTUS to rule, they sent to appeals court, which ruled against Trump unanimously, so SCOTUS will now take up case in April. Proceedings have been frozen so long they legally count as children in Alabama.”

And Hey media. Will SOMEONE ask GOP now falling all over themselves to say they support IVF about multifetal pregnancy reduction? It’s defined “as 1st or early 2nd trimester procedure for reducing total number of fetuses in a multifetal pregnancy by 1 or more.” And yes, many women have to make that choice. And yes, it’s abortion
