The Nats/Giants 18 inning game was like that for me. We flew all the way from SFO to Dulles and drove back into DC just as it ended.

Huh: TikTok took down my 8-second video featuring this image of Debbie Brockman — the news producer just detained by Trump’s CBP agents — saying it violates the “joy of TikTok”

For the years that I wrote in the Nats Press Box, Craig Heist was one of the most welcoming faces in there. He was a veteran then, and always had a kind word for those of us who were new media. I'll miss him terribly.

RIP Heisty.

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

Democrats has a trifecta in 2021 and did not do any of these things. Maybe Dems should be taking notes on power politics here.

AS: My opponent has also previously said that she thinks it’s okay for someone to be fired from their job for being gay. That is discrimination.

WES: That’s not discrimination! (2/2)

Just watching some news of the day and imagine, to my surprise, to learn that the autism is stored in the foreskin and it gets out when you circumcise the child.

Wild!

Ok everyone, I’m assigning you your resistance homework for the week.

Everyone ready?

Do something silly that makes you smile. I just waved at a dog that had its head out the car window because it made me happy. Don’t let the assholes take your joy.
