I had meetings in Inola, OK, today. My meetings took a recess at noon so the attendees could head outside to watch the escorted football team bus parade through town on their way to OKC for their first playoff appearance in several seasons. It was pure Americana.

Oy. Got my sax out tonight for the first time since I participated in the OU alumni band in 2019. Fingerings, scales, everything came back like riding a bike... except proper embouchure. I kept tightening my jaw like in my clarinet days.

This looks awfully intentional.
None can be primaried in the next cycle, Shaheen & Durbin retiring.
Hassan, Masto, Fetterman up for reelection in 2028.
Rosen, Kaine, King up for reelection in 2030.

Holy shit. Time to force Manfred into early retirement, if nothing else.
These new details from last summer's confrontation between Rob Manfred and Bryce Harper are absolutely insane.
MLB officials threatening players will "end up in a ditch" for disrespecting Manfred is outrageous behavior.
