NEWS: Trump abruptly assembled his cabinet today to let them know Elon MUSK is not in charge of hiring/firing -- they are. It was an abrupt admonition that appeared aimed at the mounting legal scrutiny of Musk's power over the government. w/ @DashaBurns www.politico.com/news/2025/03...

Tigers prospect Hao-Yu Lee just destroyed a ball -- for a double to the deepest part of Joker Marchant Stadium, a 428-foot launch with a 112.4 mph exit velocity per Statcast. It would've been a home run in every MLB park but Chase Field. www.mlb.com/tigers/news/...

Trump didn't say a word about health care last night. What is he hiding? I spent two hours hearing from Oregonians terrified about what Republican cuts to Medicare and Medicaid will mean for them. When you come for people's health care, you have hell to pay, and this time will be no different.

I keep trying to think about best case scenarios instead of worst case ones, and the best case scenario is the bottom dropping out of Trump’s support, ala post Jan 6th or W in 08. The problem is it’s hard to see that happening absent some big catastrophe that also causes huge amounts of human misery

Until last season, no MLB player had ever had more than 300 plate appearances with two strikes and slugged over .550 in those PAs. José Ramírez last year had 352 plate appearances with two strikes and slugged .552 in those PAs. It was incredible.

CEOs who are already managing losses and uncertainty are unwilling to say, "We're losing money and this has to stop," because they're so afraid that anything they say might interfere with the extension of tax cuts. What good are tax cuts on lost income?

Krishnamoorthi: President Trump, if you're watching, when will egg costs be high enough for you to issue one executive order on bird flu? $10 a carton? $15 a carton? It will soon be cheaper to buy a magazine for an ak-47 than to buy breakfast. This is flat-out wrong.

There is nothing “efficient” about this excessive level of firing going on in DC. DOGE and Trump are doing what they accuse DEI initiatives of doing: just trying to meet a quota to make someone happy. They are just firing for the sake of firing, and this recklessness has to be held accountable.
