1. Why are Ukrainians losing their lives, Caroline? Because Russia is attacking them and trying to steal their land.
2. She just said "this is a president of peace" with a straight face.

Q: Zelenskyy said he doesn't think it's fair Trump is saying Ukraine has to make concessions & not Russia. What's Trump's response?
LEAVITT: I think the president would respond by saying he doesn't think it's fair thousands of Ukrainians are losing their lives, and Russians too, in this deadly war

I'm praying for all of us, but especially for Lance, that he has an amazing season and can stay healthy. Either way, I will forever be grateful for what he did for us in 2017.

I just watched Colbert's monologue on this and it was great. Need to head over to the YT channel to watch the interview.
"Well sir, you're chairman of the FCC, so F-C-C you," Colbert said on TV. "Cause I think you are motivated by partisan purposes yourself." bit.ly/4rwKYSX

I'm more excited about this than I should be, but this is the longest we've had to go without watching our Astros play in almost a decade.
Speaking of, do we know the broadcast schedule for spring training?

One could argue he'd be with Boston if Boston wanted him there. He wanted the no-trade clause. One team offered it, the other didn't.
Red Sox CEO Sam Kennedy said Alex Bregman would be with Boston if he wanted to be.
Bregman signed a five-year, $175 million deal with the Cubs in January, a similar deal to the one Boston offered.

Just finished reading/listening to this. I had started out reading it, but decided to listen on Spotify while I was cleaning the other day. Was pleasantly surprised to find it was narrated by Meryl Streep and I just couldn't stop listening. Really loved this book!! #RootRootRead

Media moved on because for one hour Trump pinky-swore he was going to do his genocide in a nicer way, and every day since the people in Minnesota are showing us it looks like a war zone
This is the aftermath of an ICE kidnapping a few blocks from my home in St. Paul—an hour ago. A quiet street full of broken glass and at least three wrecked cars. The target of the kidnapping was taken away by ambulance. He was on a stretcher and covered by a sheet, though a cop said he was alive.

Well Canada hasn't won a Stanley Cup in a while so this should go over just fine.
Trump, in the middle of his latest unhinged Truth Social screed, claims that if Canada makes a trade deal with China, "the first thing China will do is terminate ALL Ice Hockey being played in Canada, and permanently eliminate The Stanley Cup."
