@mlb.com I'm trying to listen to the Giants/Dodgers game but you keep running endless commercials over the top of the action. Makes me think that I need to save my money next year and listen by connecting to the radio station directly.

This Susan Collins story is bigger than it looks. $150K went through a shell company. Two months later, an email said Collins would help secure $32M in Navy contracts. The FBI sought a broader probe. Then Trump returned — and the anti-corruption unit was dismantled. That’s the bigger story.

I am old enough to remember Richard Nixon. What he did was criminal, but basically more stupid than anything. He didn't hurt American citizens. He was just paranoid. Compare to Trumpy who has cost everyone so much, it's not even a fair comparison. Trumpy makes billions while all of us suffer.

Four-panel political cartoon. An older white man in a suit warns two workers, one Black, one white, "Careful. That foreigner wants your cookie." While he distracts them, the workers wrestle the plate of cookies away from him and ultimately share them peacefully together.

Costco runs it's own rigorous food inspection program. And they didn't bend the knee on DEI. Plus, they dropped Callaway Golf after their horrific ad depicting violence against women. And they are refusing to carry trump meat. So that's where I'll be shopping.
