If they’re not all sending that they spend their days doing the fucking news that would be a missed opportunity

Kepler - Go. He was historically bad for half the year but redeemed himself with dependable play down the stretch. But he’ll be 33 and hasn’t had a healthy good full season since the 1st Trump admin

Casty - Go. An offseason priority should be eating his contract and taking what you can get for him

Phillies stay or go.

Outfield:

Bader - Stay. He should be near top priority to bring back and start everyday in CF

Marsh - Stay. He was a plus starter for most of the year

Wilson - Stay. Good to have versatile AAAA players

Kemp - Stay. Same as Wilson

Re: Steven Miller constantly harping about Antifa and radical leftists. Why would Trump’s most conniving and power hungry vizier be laying it on so thick about the practically nonexistent threat of left wing violence? I have some thoughts but definitely not sharing them…

PRITZKER: "I genuinely think there is something wrong with him. I wish that his family would intervene, because I do think he needs mental health help."

Greg Sargent @gregsargent.bsky.social · 2h

JB Pritzker has also been emphatically placing Trump's mental decline squarely on the agenda. On our pod, he adds a new element: People around Trump are using his decline to manipulate him, so they're less likely to intervene. More Dems should say this. 1/

On the left is how the White House reacted to the Nobel Peace Prize announcement.

On the right is what President Trump posted about Maria Corina Machado back in January, just two weeks before nominations closed for the 2025 Nobel Peace Prize.

President Trump will continue making peace deals, ending wars, and saving lives.
He has the heart of a humanitarian, and there will never be anyone like him who can move mountains with the sheer force of his will.
The Nobel Committee proved they place politics over peace.

Venezuelan democracy activist Maria Corina Machado and President-elect Gonzalez are peacefully expressing the voices and the WILL of the Venezuelan people with hundreds of thousands of people demonstrating against the regime. The great Venezuelan American community in the United States overwhelmingly support a free Venezuela, and strongly supported me. These freedom fighters should not be harmed, and MUST stay SAFE and ALIVE!

A round low yellow platform on which we see standing a hot dog bun with cartoon arms and legs. The bun is patting with one hand a red frankfurter with cartoon arms that is perched on a little stand in an obeisant posture. They are clearly working up to a tremendous stunt. A banner matching the platform is suspended over the scene by mauve columns. The background is a gradated, muted green with a few stylized sparkles on it. On the banner and the front of the platform are the words, ‘MAYBE IT WILL HAPPEN TODAY’

Can you put into words what that purpose is? You and the frog have really become icons of this protest.

There’s been a nice overall whimsy that has shown up. The frog is amazing. We had a bunch of other inflatable people here last night, too. I saw people playing Twister the other day.

What they rely on is fear. So by coming out in an absurdist manner, it speaks to them, to some extent, that we’re actually not that afraid.

It also dismantles their narrative a little bit. When they try to describe this situation as “war-torn,” it becomes much harder to take them seriously when they have to post a video saying [U.S. Secretary of Homeland Security] Kristi Noem is up on the balcony staring over the Antifa Army and it’s, like, eight journalists and five protesters and one of them is in a chicken suit.

This obviously unleashed an ancient curse to bring Philly sports back to a 1989-like state. I’m so sorry. I don’t know how to undo it.
