Still waiting for a shred of evidence. I’ll probably get it when they find the bus driver delivering illegals to vote and the guy who programs the voting machines to switch the vote count.

Change that to "Donald Trump's Department of Pedophile Protection" since he wants his name on everything.

It's a lot easier to "catch" immigrants who work, take their kids to school. It's a lot harder to catch the actual criminals who are here illegally. Filling out their numbers will people who only want a better life for themselves and their families is a corruption of the mission of ICE.

We can't believe a single word from anyone in this administration. The lies come even when they don't have to lie.

A note on today's puzzle. For the Seattle Mariners, you listed Ty France as a two-time Gold Glove winner. His award for 2025 was his first gold glove, so he's only won one in his career.

Completely and utterly classless.
Apparently, Trump believes if he makes accusations often enough, then they are true.

Evidence? As far as I know, the administration has produced no evidence that the boats they've blown up are transporting drugs.

Sad and sobering. Since Trump espouses some of these conspiracies and denies none, it is a heavy lift to convince the hard core base of the Republican party.

Pagan has had good years alternating with disappointing seasons. Last year was good, but if history is any guide, he'll regress next year.

Interesting how this turns from speculation to fact. Of course, China can get everything they want to know about any specific American by checking out their social media output and consumption.

Stay healthy young man! A breakthrough season for Rodriguez could make the 2026 much more bearable.

It would appear that there are at least four guys who could be DFA'd and outrighted--Gasper, McCusker, Keirsey and Fitzgerald.

I'd like to see some real numbers of how many undocumented immigrants are in the US with documentation of the data. Further, I'd like to see how many are felons. The entire administration just throws numbers out there without any explanation how they came up with the number.

One such occurrence is one too many. It seems there are multiple cases every day. What is wrong with this administration?

Agree that Lee is at best an average SS who will never display plus range or arm at the most crucial position in the infield. Keaschall can be above average at second IMHO. He lost nearly a year of development due to injury and subsequent TJ surgery. I'd expect his arm to be stronger next year.

Can't get over the completeness of the rout in Virgina. A scandal-tarnished Democrat won by SEVEN POINTS for AG, they gained 13 seats in their House of Delegates, not to mention flipping the governor's mansion.
