I'm so excited about the #Kraken season starting. Game 2 tomorrow, great win over Ducks yesterday.

I wonder how many ICE dudes read Anne Frank’s diary in high school and thought, “I’d have gotten her sooner.”

On the one hand, I love this for him.

On the other hand ... the bigotry is something, isn't it?

baseball is the best preparation for death because it does not come with a clock that tells you when your suffering will end one way or the other

He was quiet the first two games but I understand he was waiting to become a father. Baby was born before game 3 I think & he's been on a tear since

If I were actively trying to destroy the United States from within, going after and dismantling its public health would be like the first thing I’d do.

Just pointing that out.

This is beyond dangerous. It’s leaving us vulnerable in a way we can’t really fathom until it’s too late.

Suspect they can sue as it is illegal to rif during shutdown. Still, hugely disruptive and damaging to the nation, which is exactly what they want.

Maggats suck.

there's really just zero motivation for Ds to negotiate when they're saying things like this. if they're just going to rule by recissision anyway, might as well make them admit they're gutting the fillibuster in order to destroy healthcare.

Q: Rescission are something Dems have said is a reason for a lack of trust. What rescissions are you discussing?

JOHNSON: We have more than $37t in debt. We're doing everything we can to get us back to sound fiscal responsibility. What does that include? A rescission package is part of our process
