PHILLIES WIN!!!

They successfully force a Game 4

The Aaron Nola-Ranger Suárez plan worked to perfection

Turner, Schwarber, and Harper went 7-13 with 5 RBI and 4 runs scored.

Schwarber homered twice. J.T. Realmuto added a solo shot that really opened the floodgates

Cristopher Sánchez tomorrow

if you’re screaming at people asking you about performing for the Saudi government, and not that same government that tortures women for having the audacity to push back against their oppression, maybe you’re the “phony” person. Just a thought! Anyway, enjoy the paycheck dude.

this whole routine where you crassly lash out at people who piss you off doesn’t quite work as well when it’s people pointedly asking about your being paid well to perform at the behest of some of the world’s worst human rights offenders

Thank you, Bill Burr, for being paid handsomely to perform at the Riyadh Comedy Festival for Saudi Arabia’s “oppressed people.” Very courageous.

Does he actually believe the total nonsense coming out of his mouth? Come on, man. variety.com/2025/tv/news...

Bill Burr is lashing out at critics for slamming his appearance at the Riyadh Comedy Festival. During an interview on the “Conan O’Brien Needs a Friend” podcast, Burr said he does not “give a fuck what all these phony fucking people are saying.”

“The general consensus is, ‘How dare you go to that place and make those oppressed people laugh, you fucking piece of shit. I can’t believe you went to that place. I can’t find it on a map, and this bot said I was upset about it so now I am,'” Burr said about the outrage over the festival. “It’s one thing to wear clothes made by sweatshop labor. It’s quite another to go to the factory and make ’em laugh. I can’t believe how much anger I had about this issue after it went viral

The fraudulent electors scheme wasn't an official act. Inciting the attack on the Capitol wasn't an official act. Coercing and inducing people to commit fraud for him wasn't an official act. The actual crimes as charged were all things somebody who wasn't president could have done just the same.

"He charged Trump for official acts he took as president" is completely false, Roberts lying about that notwithstanding. He was not prosecuted for an executive order, or vetoing a bill, or issuing a pardon, etc. He was prosecuted for crimes he committed while president, but in no way *as* president.

Anna Bower @annabower.bsky.social · 3h

You’ve gotta be kidding me.

This WaPo editorial presents a misleading revisionist history of Special Counsel Jack Smith’s criminal cases against Trump.

Then it has the gall to compare that to Trump’s overt targeting of his perceived enemies.

Really embarrassing stuff.

But the mere fact that a legal tool might be available does not mean it should be used. The
current rage over Grassley's revelation shows why. Smith showed little restraint in his pursuit of a former president. He charged Trump for official acts he took as president. He sought a gag order to limit Trump's ability to criticize the prosecution. He tried to accelerate the case to try a leading presidential candidate before the 2024 election.

“I haven’t done anything,” Miranda said to the officers in the video.

“Turn around or you’re going to get the dog,” an officer said. “We’re going to put you in cuffs, or you’re going to get the dog.”

No protest from 6am to 9am in the Broadview free speech zone.

Just here with a handful of press waiting to see if we can catch the Texas National Guard arriving in Broadview tonight.

Just before 6pm curfew, a bus pulled up to the ICE facility. It appears they pulled the front into their garage to unload whoever is inside.

Of course at the same time, Broadview PD dispersed press from the “free speech zone.”

Regular season Phillies seemed like they could come back from three or four down in the ninth. Playoff Phillies seem like they might not get a hit from here on out.

incredibly, bleakly funny that trump is going after christopher wray, who spent his entire tenure at the fbi with his head down desperately trying to avoid trump's attention and did nothing to protect the bureau from trump's attacks www.wsj.com/politics/pol...

Other prosecutors are investigating former CIA director John Brennan, another prominent Trump critic, and former FBI director Christopher Wray, who was originally appointed by Trump but enraged conservatives who came to believe he had wielded the bureau’s powers against them. Former officials have received subpoenas in recent days in the Wray inquiry, according to a person with direct knowledge of the matter.
