Shohei Ohtani hit into a triple play and the Los Angeles Dodgers lost 7-6 to the Los Angeles Angels

And that’s probably the best headline SF Giants fans can hope for these days.

All of this insanity – Firing competent people Meeting with Putin on US soil. Putting police on the streets of Washington DC makes sense if you remember one thing

Apparently Trump plans to pause monthly jobs reports. But don’t worry, he will start them up “in two weeks.”

–

This line from Karoline Leavitt : “The president is very honored and looks forward to hosting President Putin on American soil.” “Honored?” Uh, Putin is BANNED from visiting 125 countries.

So Kim Davis, who is trying to get SCOTUS to overturn gay marriage, has been married four times with four children by three different men. A real poster child for the sanctity of marriage.

Trump increasingly relying on lies & perception to become authoritarian. Don Delillo nailed it in “White Noise”

“For most people there are only two places in the world. Where they live and their TV set.” And when that TV set (or streaming equivalent) is tuned to Fox News…

As a California voter who hasn’t always supported our Governor, I admit until recently I was not familiar with Gavin Newsom’s troll game!

One of today’s tweets:

FINAL WARNING DONALD TRUMP — MAYBE THE MOST IMPORTANT WARNING IN HISTORY! STOP CHEATING OR CALIFORNIA WILL REDRAW THE MAPS. AND GUESS WHO WILL ANNOUNCE IT THIS WEEK? GAVIN NEWSOM (MANY SAY THE MOST LOVED & HANDSOME GOVERNOR) AND A VERY POWERFUL TEAM. DON’T MAKE US DO IT!!! THANK YOU FOR YOUR ATTENTION TO THIS MATTER.

Who says there’s no good news these days.

Sherrod Brown is running in 2026 to get back to the Senate.

Random unimportant thought, the league MIGHT be spacing NBA finals games too far apart when many fans have to wonder, so how many days until the next game?

As SF Giants lose their seven game streak, and the game by allowing the Rockies to score three in the y bottom of the ninth, a reminder that nothing is certain but death, taxes, and you can’t give up walks and make errors at Coors Field.

Pete Hegseth today before House Armed Services Committee actually said it’s fine for POTUS to wear MAGA hat while speaking to troops Rep. Pat Ryan ends with “I do not say this lightly, I think your tenure as Sec of Def has been shameful & weak & you should resign. “

Gavin Newsom was re-elected with 59.2% of the vote. Almost a full 10 points higher than Velveeta Voldemort. And Karen Bass was elected with 54.8% of the vote. What happened to “elections have consequences

The war in Ukraine, launched by Trump’s friend Putin, shows no signs of stopping.

Also Donald cannot stop Israel, one of the few remaining countries the USA is still on good terms with, from pre-emptively bombing Iran. Are we great yet?

Even Fox News:

Kristi Noem’s DHS said Padilla did not initially identify himself as senator & wasn’t wearing Senate security pin. However, footage captured by Fox News shows him saying, “I’m Senator Alex Padilla, have questions for the secretary,” as he was taken out of room then taken down and handcuffed.

–

Kristi Noem had U.S Senator Alex Padilla physically attacked and thrown out of her Press Conference just for trying to ask a question. Given Noem’s history when she is annoyed at behavior I guess Padilla is lucky she didn’t shoot him.

–

David Hogg is out as DNC Vice Chair. (Better now than 2026.)

But pundits are making it sound like it’s “generational.” Uh, Vice Chair Malcolm Kenyatta is 34. Wasn’t Hogg’s age, it was his attitude

Meanwhile, as RFK Jr, continues his anti-vax, anti-science ramage at HHS….

Do billionaires think their money will somehow save them or their children when they get a deadly preventable disease?

–

Meanwhile as Israel attacks Iran and much of the world worries about WWIII, Donald has scheduled a situation room meeting at 11a.

Clearly a top priority. Between makeup and hair and whatever, Trump doesn’t often golf untll noon.
