Reminder: ICE has a budget bigger than most militaries around the world.
It has increased its spending on weapons by 700% since Trump took office.
Trump is building his own personal military to terrorize American cities, trample on civil rights, and intimidate his opponents.

Billy Haas took home $11.4 million when he won the Tour Championship in 2011 — $1.4m for the event and $10m for being first in FedEx points. Tommy Fleetwood won $10m for winning the FedEx Cup 14 years later. Makes no sense. This event is all about $$$, not prestige, and the $$$ has gone down?

What a crock. Pandemic would have been so much worse in the USA if not for work NIH and others were doing, and had been doing for decades. Read the non-partisan book “Abundance” for anecdotal proof.
TAPPER: 14 Republicans say you're risking undermining critical research by holding up NIH funding
VOUGHT: If they were a company, their stock price would in shambles. They in some respects caused the pandemic. You have an entire institute that does nothing more than DEI research at the NIH.

White Sox utility man Brooks Baldwin is a good ballplayer. Including an 8-0 loss to the A’s today, the Sox are 5-40 in his career starts. Give him a hug if you see him.

That’s a clown question, bro.
GLENN: Why don't you wear a suit? You're at the highest level in this country's office & you refuse to wear a suit. A lot of Americans have problems with you not respecting the office.

That is some BS w/@chriswarcraft.bluesky.social. Brought me right back down after I cancelled my WaPo subscription. Here’s hoping Chris comes out of this w/a better coaching job, real soon.

Keep your eye on Cubs pitching prospect Jack Neely. He’s tall and combines easy heat w/nasty breakers. Struck out two of three in an inning against the Dodgers. He could develop into an impact guy in the bullpen.

The addition of Justin Turner should give the Cubs a small bump to 91 wins in Baseball Prospectus’ Pecota rankings (from 90.6 previous). Nobody else in the NLC projects to more than 80.6 (Brewers). Terry Francona should be the only thing keeping Craig Counsell up at night.

Smart move by Cubs to sign Justin Turner. He’s slowing down at age 40 but fits perfectly as a platoon piece at first and insurance behind rookie Matt Shaw at third. While Michael Busch hit 21 HRs last year, only one came off a lefty. Turner’s smart, tough. He makes teams better.
