But it was all okay when Musk was getting along with the Taco?

Little Marco, Lyin' Ted, Sleepy Joe, Crooked Hillary... It seems Taco Trump can dish it out, but he can't take it!

Hard to say. Hitter now have pitch recognition virtual reality, pitchers have more knowledge on how to maximize spin rates. Pluck a guy from 1965 off the street and he would struggle in today's game. But if born later, he would have access to modern methodologies and training.

Three things made the US a rich and powerful nation: the rule of law, its science & innovation system, and openness to foreign talent. Remarkable how Trump has taken a sledgehammer to all three. No enemy of this country could do more.

OMG!

That is in fact what this administration has done.

Well, government employees are BEING TOLD they will lose their jobs if they have pronouns in their email signatures. So, which side is policing language, again? Because it feels like that nonsense is coming from the right.

Mets game getting interesting on MLBN.

That's a foul.

Walz: If you say you love freedom but you don't believe freedom is for everybody, then the thing you love is not freedom, it is privilege.

"They are unified in their concerns about the U.S. birthrate, which has been falling since 2007, warning of a future in which a smaller work force cannot support an aging population and the social safety net. " Then why not just encourage immigration?

Happy Patriots Day!!

While the White House tries to remake the narrative, here are two overriding important things to keep in mind: 1. Everyone is entitled to due process. 2. No human, none whatsoever, should ever be treated to such inhumane conditions, ever.

Harvard has set an example for other higher-ed institutions - rejecting an unlawful and ham-handed attempt to stifle academic freedom, while taking steps to make sure students can benefit from an environment of intellectual inquiry, rigorous debate and mutual respect. Let’s hope others follow suit.

New, from me: Marco Rubio used to boast that he was banned from China, calling it a totalitarian state. Now he combines a) new surveillance capabilities to monitor and punish international students, with b) little accountability or due process. 🧵 donmoynihan.substack.com/p/the-attack...

That's the whole point of all of it. He wants countries, business leaders, university presidents to come crawling to him. There is no vision for the country whatsoever.

Trump: "These countries are calling us up. Kissing my ass."

Reverse Robin Hood

The last coach under 40 years old before Golden to win the title was Jim Valvano, who also beat Houston to win it.

I'm a big fan of televising the starting player introductions at all games, not just final four. It gets me prepped and excited for the game. I miss it on regular telecasts.

I spoke to a South Carolina woman today who is miscarrying - her fetus has no heartbeat - but the state's ban is preventing doctors from taking action. She has to walk around with a dead fetus for another week so she can get a FOURTH ultrasound. This is what bans do.

Those pesky numbers!

The free speech police strike again.
