FOX has shown that HR so many times I feel like we’re down big. Also their production choices are terrible. I get no sense of how the defense is set. I miss my BREW TV.

Recently unearthed records show that, in one set of trials carried out by the US Army, the electric shock gloves caused “overwhelmingly immediate” pain to soldiers in a mock forced cell extraction scenario, who then reported that “just seeing the glove” frightened them into obedience.

Study: Shock gloves traumatized Army volunteers
After tests, military personnel said "just seeing the glove" that ICE plans to adopt scared them into obedience.

25 years ago today, the U.S. launched its war in Afghanistan. Weeks earlier, Barbara Lee was the only member of Congress to vote against the 2001 Authorization of Military Force, warning it would be a blank check for forever wars. History has proven her lonely and courageous vote right.

It’s also horse crap to make folks in the Midwest stay up past midnight to follow their team in the playoffs in the middle of the work week. I loathe MLB right now.

Data centers consume large amounts of power and require upgrading infrastructure. But it's difficult to determine how much residential customers benefit and how much they actually pay for the benefit.

President Trump does not have the power to unilaterally change Title IX. LGBTQ students continue to be protected from discrimination under federal civil rights law. With the administration's continued cruel anti-trans actions, schools must not waver in their commitment to protecting queer students.

Trump's Title IX Announcement Is Cruel. But It Does Not Change The Law
“Schools can and should continue to include transgender students equally in all educational programs,” writes Chase Strangio.

Trump Has Clubbed Our Tax Code Back Into the Stone Age—Can Congress Fix It?
Lawmakers face a choice: They can continue their vote-pandering through “no tax on” proposals, or they can address the glaring structural flaws in the federal income tax and, in doing so, perhaps save our tax system and our democracy.

And we've gotten extra credit in Harmony! I enjoyed hosting my 22nd town hall meeting that was open to everyone and had no pre-screening of questions. We had great conversations about lowering costs, taking on corruption, and investing in our small towns instead of data centers.

On this day in 1994, the Clinton administration's heathcare reform plan was declared "dead" by Congress. Over 30 years later, the US is still the only industrialized country without universal healthcare. This should be a national outrage.

A recent survey found that 92% of U.S. adults have delayed or avoided medical care due to high costs. Meanwhile, a new study from Yale estimates that Medicare for All would save over 114,000 lives and $1 trillion a year. If this country was truly “pro-life,” we would have universal healthcare.

The Brewers can clinch a first-round bye today with a win and Braves loss. If season ended today, Milwaukee would now face the Padres or the Cubs. Just like last year. The Phillies have dropped to the No. 6 and would face the Braves (winner gets Dodgers). www.jsonline.com/story/sports...
