June 12, 2025 SF Giants were 40-29 and holding the top NL wild card spot. Could be worse.

NY Mets were 45-24 with the best record in all of baseball.

Never been a Mets fan. But sure would have loved to see Tyler Rogers strike out Shohei Ohtani with a 74 MPH curveball in the playoffs.

Hoping Buster Posey signs Tyler back for 2026

And well, we won’t have Bob Melvin to kick around anymore.

–

Only in America do you post at night about the last mass shooting and before noon the next day there’s another one. It’s the guns, stupid.

–

For all those saying Democrats should just accept a stopgap to keep the government open and then negotiate… DEMOCRATS DID THIS ALREADY IN MARCH 2025.

Didn’t work then, won’t work now.

Stephen Colbert quotes Trump sending troops to Portland over false Fox News report “Wait a minute, am I watching things on television that are different than what’s happening? Remember Don DeLillo’s White Noise? “For most people there are only 2 places: where they live & their television set.”

–

JD Vance lies and says “Democrats are basically saying to the American people, we want to give hundreds of billions of dollars to illegal aliens for their health care.

Same JD Vance who when pressed on claiming “they’re eating the dogs, they’re eating the cats” admitted “he felt the need “to create stories so that the … media actually pays attention to the suffering of the American people”.

–

It still stuns me that the same state of Wisconsin who re-elected Tammy Baldwin somehow still managed to re-elect a tool like Ron Johnson.

–

If Congressional healthcare benefits lapsed during a government shutdown, Republicans would have made a deal with Democrats weeks ago.

–

Does anyone think Donald Trump’s saying he will “chair the Board of Peace to oversee the new Gaza” is anything but him planning to built Trump resorts in Gaza?

–

GOP Sen. Roger Marshall, asked on Donald’ Trumps insane racist AI video of Jeffries & Schumer: (The video had a sombrero on Hakeem’s head. )

“Sometimes president plays with the press like a little boy & a flashlight & a dog. He’s shining the flashlight here & he’s shining it there…..” But he’s not a little boy. He’s the POTUS. In theory.

–

Healthcare subsidies do not go to undocumented immigrants. GOP knows this. So why are they trying so hard to take healthcare away from Americans?

–

Whatever lies GOP tells it is not radical to want Americans to be able to have and keep access to healthcare.

–

MAGA Mike Johnson says he’s against ACA subsides but wants Dems to vote for “stopgap” to keep govt open so “we can have those debates.”

Uh Mike sent House home rather than debate Epstein files. And he won’t even swear in newest Dem rep.

He doesn’t want to debate, he wants GOP to rule.

–

Not expecting Republicans to suddenly change their minds on gun control because of two major mass shootings in less than 24 hours… But just maybe GOP could start pushing back a little harder on Trump’s efforts to cut mental health funding for veterans?

–

Serious question. We’ve often heard over the years about the FBI having stopped potential mass shootings before they happened… Is it possible that with Kash Patel’s FBI so focused on going after Trump’s perceived enemies they’ve missed signs in Minnesota, Michigan etc?
