The best of teams the worst of teams.

April 3, 2025

Dodgers are now 8-0 after a comeback win against the lowly (0-7) Atlanta Braves.

Max Muncy “It feels like this clubhouse is carrying a little bit of the attitude we had last year that we’re never out of a game and we’re resilient, and we’ve been carrying it into this season… the guys don’t give up. Bad things have happened, and no one’s really been down or out.”

“Resilence?””

Because we know that our competitive balance tax payroll will be estimated $393.75 million?? Before trades.

(about as much as the bottom five MLB payroll team put together)

Meanwhile, speaking of the bottom teams.

The former Oakland As , and probably future Las Vegas As just finished their home opening series against the Cubs.

They lost three games 3-18, 4-7 and 2-10.

It’s a minor league ballpark. And they are doing their best to play like a minor league team.

On the other hand, the team refused to put “Sacramento” in their name. Which these days the city of Sacramento has to feel pretty good about. At least their AAA team (the rivercats) is respectable.

Amy Klobuchar tonight w/ Lawrence O’Donnell “tourism is down 70% from Canada.” “People are pissed off.” Sen. Klobuchar doesn’t usually use that phrase, but Canadians don’t normally get that pissed off.

Wonder why Fox News viewers act brainwashed? Donald Trump wandered off the stage today and had to be reminded to sign his tariff executive orders.

What’s the Fox headline? “Top Biden aide describes ‘out of it’ president before Trump debate.”

Well well Yes the House is recalcitrant at best. But four GOP Senators actually stood up to Trump on tariffs on Canada.

– It’s a start.

So the President’s top campaign donor may be leaving DOGE and Donold’s inner circle. Would we say Elon’s being thrown not under the bus but under the Cybertruck?

People do sometimes vote for higher taxes to get a fairer systems. And I get it, if you’re comfortably off it’s easier. But many Trump voters voted purely for their own self-interest. They’re about to find out “A tariff is a tax.” is not just a Democratic talking point.

Meanwhile, coming soon to the GOP House Circus – new representative Randy Fine. Who won a Florida deep red district by about half the margin Trump had.

GOP Ron DeSantis said he nominated Fine for FAU president because “he repelled people in the (GOP led) state legislature. They wanted to get him out of the legislature, so they asked me to put him up for Florida Atlantic president”

Pass the popcorn.

On Wisconsin

April 2, 2025

Cory Booker will be 56 years old this month. So other Generation X, along with Millennials, and Gen Z, don’t EVER want to hear from you that you are too tired to vote.

I feel for whoever is on ketchup cleanup duty tonight at the White House.

Is Trump going to try to put tariffs on Wisconsin cheese now?


Brad Schimel conceded, urging his supporters to accept the results.

Attacks by Trump and Musk on right wing Republican Schimel as a RINO in 3.2.1..

It’s going to get worse before it gets better. But today definitely feels like a turning point. Wouldn’t it be perfect if the high-water mark of the Trump Presidency was the morning of April Fool’s Day?

Cory Booker closing: “Power of people is greater than the people in power.

John Lewis wouldn’t know how to solve it, but he’d go out & “cause good trouble, necessary trouble.

And “let’s redeem the soul of America.”

This is a moral moment. Let’s get in good trouble. I yield the floor”


Senate Democrats – joyfully supporting Cory Booker standing up for average Americans as he broke Strom Thummond’s filibuster record.
