@dszymborski.fangraphs.com Did you make a Yaz to the Braves projection? I didn't see one in the FanGraphs reaction. Curious to see the home park effect. Thanks for all you do!

Unbelievable way to frame this. Bad headline. Worse lede.
A teenager in Florida with a homeless parent wanted money for braces and ended up having sex for money with powerful men, setting off a chain of events that would have a dramatic impact on her life and help upend the political career of Representative Matt Gaetz. nyti.ms/49PSkL9

Bro, no way you just said this.
Make no mistake:
Behind every one of Trump’s 100 days of failure are Republicans in Congress—they are his enablers, his collaborators, his co-conspirators.
Trump cannot enact his agenda without Republicans in Congress aiding and abetting him at every turn.

Sweeping tariffs are expected to raise the cost of cars, electronics, metals, lumber, pharmaceuticals and other products from overseas. But President Trump and his advisers are betting that it can sell an inflation-weary public on a provocative idea: Cheap stuff is not the American dream.
Trump’s Tariff Agenda Bets on Americans Giving Up Cheap Goods
Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent argues that the American dream is about more than cheap televisions, but inflation-weary consumers might disagree.

"Elite insularity, fragility, and class anxiety."
For years I've been struck by how many cancel culture complaints are so... parochial. Take some anecdotes from a subset of elite spaces (legacy media, some academic subfields, book publishing) and insist it's evidence of a pervasive national crisis.

All of these articles should be seen as a kind of misinformation, a symptom of elite insularity, fragility and class anxiety. Every time they warned us about the 'new McCarthyism,' they missed an opportunity to point out how the same old McCarthyism was growing and radicalizing under our noses.

I think some in the Senate have convinced themselves that the backlash to folding will be limited to “the left” and therefore ignorable.
Those people are deeply and profoundly misreading the moment and the stakes.
Virtually every swing district House Dem walked the plank to vote NO for a reason.

Do we think it's as simple as this? Wall Street is panicked over the tariffs and is begging Senate Democrats (and promising them fat checks in exchange) to stabilize the economy and not allow the government to be shut down. Both NY senators cave and sell us out to Elon Musk.
