Is #TheVoice trying to self-destruct? This season's format, plus the drastic cuts each week, and the lack of episodes makes one wonder. It only cheats the singers of their opportunities. Why bother anymore?

I'm begging my fellow politicians, Illinoisans, and Americans to realize that right now, we aren't fighting over policy or political party. We're fighting over whether we're going to be a country rooted in empathy and kindness — or one rooted in cruelty and rage.

The New York Times reports that the Department of Homeland Security has sent Google, Meta, and other media corporations subpoenas for the names on accounts that criticize ICE enforcement. The department wants to identify Americans who oppose what it’s doing. I’ll save them time.

A reminder: The Attorney General of the United States should be the people's lawyer, not the president's personal attorney. The Department of Justice should act to protect the public, not the occupant of the Oval Office and his political allies.

The #Royals seem unserious about significantly improving the roster for this season, at least to this point. Options are dwindling.

I don't know where I'd rank him, but Melvin is becoming one of my all time favorite transfers. In the NIL/portal era, we've had to get used to guys who don't necessarily bleed crimson and blue like the fans do. He has so much heart, to go along with the athleticism. He's a joy to watch.

Tapper to Noem: "I just showed you video of people attacking law enforcement officers on J6. Trump pardoned them all. You said Trump is enforcing all the laws equally. That's just not true. There's a different standard for LEOs being attacked if they're being attacked by Trump supporters."

Randy Johnson had 2,022 strikeouts in a span of 202 games and I swear it's true. No other pitcher in MLB history has struck out 800+ batters in any 80-game span.

How fitting the first score (and maybe only score) in the #Chiefs vs #Titans game is a safety. Tennessee takes a commanding 2-0 lead. It may prove insurmountable.

Patrick Rothfuss and George R R Martin traumatized a fuckton of fantasy readers. Not by the content of their books but by never finishing the series. Thus leaving people like me who will not dive into things like Deltarune until they’re complete. Bonus points go to the Wheel of Time tv series.

Red Sox trade for an SP in Oviedo and jettison an OF in Garcia, in a deal with the Pirates. This seemingly means a deal between the #Royals & Boston is unlikely now

Not a single aspect of the game was on track in the 1st half for #kufball. Offense, defense, special teams all were ill-prepared. Little emotional connection from the players. All of these are bad signs for the future
