My father's day haul: a smal pawpaw tree from my daughter, and a trip to see the Savannah Bananas at Fenway park from my son. I love them both dearly.

Some thoughts about the military parade in my hometown of Washington DC today -- specifically, the route. Military parades in DC are quite rare. But when they happen, they have always begun, symbolically and geographically, at the Capitol and moved outward. 1/

Albany NY #NoKings along Wolf Road, a busy semi-suburban road. People were lined up along nearly 3 miles of road in front of chain restaurants, hotels and stores. Very low police presence.

The Minnesota assassinations, the attempted arson at Governor Shapiro's home, and the violent arrest of Senator Padilla are all straight out of the Jim Crow terrorism playbook. Same goes with cops aiming for journalists covering the ICE protests. None of these are new tactics, just a new iteration.

Good for him for calling this exactly what it is.

Sure reads like a planned assassination to give Republicans control of the Legislature The Minnesota House was tied 67-67 until Hortman (D) was murdered The Minnesota Senate is tied 34-34, unless Hoffman (D) dies

Dear News Networks: The term for a “targeted politically motivated shooting” of a currently serving legislator is “Assassination.”

Was listening to the radio while driving yesterday and it occurred to me that lots of people with signs saying "We've all come to look for America" would be pretty great.

🚨 Secretary Noem basically said that her agency is now dedicated to forcible regime change…in American cities and states. There 👏🏽 is 👏🏽 a 👏🏽 name 👏🏽 for 👏🏽 this

Little Bobby Tables had a brother

#RedSox Chapman bringing it.

#RedSox Have a night, Carlos Narvaez!

#RedSox Sweet Caroline is still just a weird song to play at a game.

#RedSox *Another* great throw by Narvaez cuts down the tying run at 2rd, and for some reason Aranda is still on 1st.

#RedSox Buehler just threw pitch #91 3 at 96 and the #Rays hitters are still under them.

#RedSox Buehler looked shaky in the first 2 innings, but he’s been very good since and is sitting at 71 pitches after 6. I’d bring him back for the 7th.

#RedSox Two nice defensive plays in a row is a welcome sight.
