The Red Sox moved on from Grady Little after the disaster of the 2003 ALCS.

Do the Mariners have the stones to do the same with Dan Wilson?

Light Bat is up. I'm mad, sorry. Every single Mariners team that has had a chance at greatness has been held back by Dan Wilson, and I'm over it. Find someone better please. thelightbat.substack.com/p/102125-che...

their entire stated goal for my entire 42+ years on this earth has been the destruction of the federal government. they are literally doing what they have always dreamed of doing.

I find it amazing too that Republicans’ boycott of Washington isn’t the biggest story of them all.

The shutdown can’t end if they refuse to show up for work.

Trump can deploy the National Guard to Portland because of a shooting in Dallas and 2nd amendment rights in Chicago.

A judge ought to resign in shame after starting a factual background like this.

BREAKING: Ninth Circuit panel, on a 2-1 vote, allows Trump to deploy National Guard troops in Portland during litigation. Both judges siding with Trump were appointed by Trump in his first term.

Background at Law Dork: www.lawdork.com/p/the-trials...

Before: Susan P. Graber, Ryan D. Nelson, and Bridget S. Bade, Circuit Judges.
Concurrence by Judge R. Nelson; Dissent by Judge Graber.
PER CURIAM:
Defendants-Appellants, President Donald J. Trump, Secretary of Defense
Peter Hegseth, and Secretary of Homeland Security Kristi Noem, in their official
capacities, the Department of Defense (DoD), and the Department of Homeland
Security (DHS) (collectively, Defendants), seek an emergency stay of the district
court’s October 4, 2025 temporary restraining order (TRO) enjoining the President’s
Case: 25-6268, 10/20/2025, DktEntry: 61.1, Page 2 of 93
order to federalize 200 members of the Oregon National Guard for 60 days to protect
federal personnel and property at the Lindquist Building, an Immigration and
Customs Enforcement (ICE) facility in Portland, Oregon. After considering the
record at this preliminary stage, we conclude that it is likely that the President
lawfully exercised his statutory authority under 10 U.S.C. § 12406(3), which
authorizes the federalization of the National Guard when “the President is unable
with the regular forces to execute the laws of the United States.” The evidence the
President relied on reflects a “colorable assessment of the facts and law within a
‘range of honest judgment.’” Newsom v. Trump, 141 F.4th 1032, 1051 (9th Cir.
2025) (per curiam) (quoting Sterling v. Constantin, 287 U.S. 378, 399 (1932)). We
thus conclude that Defendants are likely to succeed on the merits of their appeal, and
that the other stay factors weigh in their favor. We grant Defendants’ motion for a
stay pending appeal.

RFK Jr. explains why socializing with Jeffrey Epstein wasn't such a big deal for him:

Personally, I think Florida is still a great job. Whiffing four times in a row makes it reasonable to wonder, but I look at the money, fan support, and geography and don't think this lasts forever
