Clayton Kershaw becomes the 20th player — and possibly the last? — to 3,000 strikeouts
Adding to his Hall of Fame resumé in his 18th season, the Dodgers' all-time strikeout leader hit a milestone that few, if any, will reach again.

Outraged and heartbroken by the news of two young people killed last night in DC in a targeted act of antisemitic violence. This is the opposite of advancing justice and peace - it only furthers the violence, pain, and loss - and such hatred must be firmly rejected by all.

Why can’t we invoke Article II, Section 4: The President, Vice President and all civil Officers of the United States, shall be removed from Office on Impeachment for, and Conviction of, Treason, Bribery, or other high Crimes and Misdemeanors?

Just learned an English word from the 17th Century -"Latibulate" - it means to hide oneself, usually in a corner or a hiding place, often as a way to seek refuge or escape from something. It can also refer to the act of retreating and lying hidden.
I need to do more latibulating 😂

The only thing standing between voters and voter suppression is the U.S. Senate. If 60 Senators vote for the SAVE Act, millions of voters will be disenfranchised and we're headed down the path of one-party-rule. We can't let that happen. Call your Senator or message now: bit.ly/4hZ7B…

I would like to point out that the executive branch claiming the power to mete out life/death sentences seems like a separation of powers issue as well
This is basically conceding that the executive branch is sentencing random people to death with no due process or ability to reverse an error
UPDATE: Trump seems to say for the first time that U.S. lacks ability to recover those sent to El Salvador if government deports someone erroneously. Says it’s totally up to Bukele. Seems to leave out that he could … ask Bukele to help fix an error. www.politico.com/news/2025/04...

If this is legally and factually true, then the US has trafficked him,and the others, conspiring with El Salvador, and this is a high crime , impeachable offense.
