The talking heads on CNN are discussing the firing squad "making a comeback" and it's one of those things where yeah, the guy they're shooting now probably deserves it but as a general rule, "The firing squad is making a comeback," is the sort of sentence that sets off your Spidey sense, y'know?

This afternoon in Marble Hill, a New Yorker was shot by an ICE agent in a residential neighborhood. Early reports indicate agents surrounded him and a 5-year-old child in his car before firing multiple rounds. We believe the child was physically unharmed.

This is an unconscionable and incredibly serious situation. I have called the President; when we speak I will demand that he ends all ICE enforcement actions in our city. I will not stand by while ICE agents terrorize our communities.

Our thoughts are with the injured New Yorker and his family tonight. We are praying for his recovery.

Get ICE out of our neighborhoods. Get ICE out of our hospitals. Get ICE off our streets. Get ICE away from our children.

Abolish ICE.

Demcoratic Candidate for UT-HD27 Liz Oates, one of the hardest working Dems out there this cycle, out with an Op-Ed about the Great Salt Lake “I’ve spent my life watching the Great Salt Lake shrink. If elected, I’ll treat it like the public health emergency it is.” www.sltrib.com/opinion/comm...

Liz Oates: I’ve spent my life watching the Great Salt Lake shrink. If elected, I’ll treat it like the public health emergency it is.
“The west side needs a real voice at the Capitol, and that’s why I’m running for House District 27,” Liz Oates writes in an op-ed.

Perhaps relevant to current handicapping: In 2018, voters who decided who to vote for at the very last minute were the most Democratic group in the electorate

Not what Republicans need to claw back votes with low-info undecideds who are likely the ones persuaded by advertising. An enormous financial advantage lost in a wash? This was the one bit being held up as a Republican advantage. I'm not saying this means landslides, but late-breaking voters matter

Final: Brewers 3, Padres 1 The best team in franchise history lives on. Milwaukee wins the NLDS, 3 games to 1, and did it their way. Battled at the plate and pitched their minds out. The first road playoff win in 13 tries. A rematch with the Dodgers awaits.

Brewers-Dodgers is an underrated rivalry. The Brewers have twice before—2018 and 2025—had the best record in the NL. Both times, they lost to the Dodgers in the NLCS.

The Fox pregame/postgame studio, which kept picking the Padres at every turn, seems absolutely flummoxed that the Brewers aren't celebrating harder.

Brice Turang makes a deft snag in foul territory to put the Brewers within 3 outs of the NLCS. Abner Uribe was so pumped you could hear nothing in the stadium but him smacking his glove with his palm in the third deck.

Aaron Asbhy, the keys to the city are yours. After leading the league in relief innings thrown this year, after throwing the first 2 games of the series, after not throwing 3+ innings all year, Ashby comes in and gets 9 outs.

The Brewers have finally gotten to Bradgley Rodriguez, their nemesis. Jackson Chourio rips a 99.9 mph single to center to score Garrett Mitchell, whose leadoff triple chased Robbie Ray.

With righties due up for the Padres, Robert Gasser may very well be done. Bob Diesel did his job, turning in four innings of one run ball. After a shaky first, he was sharp.

this is hardly an original thought but i think it bears repeating that it's precisely *because* conservatism is at root a philosophy of hierarchy that it is insensitive to meritocratic arguments. your place in the scheme is handed down from above, how dare you try and use your talents to escape it

The government *still* isn’t tracking how often immigration agents detain U.S. citizens. We are. 500+ Americans have been handcuffed, held at gunpoint or held against their will in Trump’s second term. Our tally is almost certainly an undercount. THREAD (content warning: violence) ⬇️
