If we are allowed to have elections in the U.S. again, and a Democrat becomes president, I hope he/she is taking note of the republican belief that the president can do whatever he/she wants and acts accordingly.

We can’t pay air traffic controllers during the shutdown, making us less safe, but we can send $40 billion to bail out Argentina. Make it make sense.

The 2A/Don’t Tread on Me folks have been silent about Trump’s use of the military against American cities. What frauds.

People rightly posting that presidents do not have plenary power miss the point. He believes he does and is acting as if he did, so the real question is — who’s going to stop him?

What's happening with Jimmy Kimmel is about politics and power.

After years of complaining about cancel culture, the current administration has taken it to a new and dangerous level by routinely threatening regulatory action against media companies unless they muzzle or fire reporters and commentators it doesn’t like.

Let’s be clear about what happened to Jimmy Kimmel
Trump’s most brazen attack on free speech yet.

Pretty clear illustration of "you may as well stand up for what you believe in, they're coming for you anyway."

Just received an import charge — 25% — for an item I ordered from a foreign company. Guess the company and/or country doesn’t pay those after all.

Duran/Rafaela ruin another great performance by Bello. How are they still making little league mistakes???

So it seems YouTube TV is about to do it again — lose one of their partners (Fox) if they can’t negotiate a deal. Fewer channels for the same (or more) money is becoming their motto.

Walker Buehler has pitched a helluva game in San Diego tonight. #redsox

Kinda nervous for Dustin May’s first start for the Red Sox. He doesn’t need to be Crochet (although I would happily take that), just decent. 🤞🏻

I’m at the point where I want an entirely new Red Sox team. Replace everyone. This is a team of likable guys who can’t play very well, and it’s so damn frustrating.

You could make one helluva baseball team with players Red Sox ownership deemed too expensive to re-sign.

Hey @mlb.com, why was the Red Sox/Phillies game blocked out for me in LA? What am I paying for?

Red Sox need catching help. Narvaez appears to be on fumes and is struggling at and behind the plate. Wong is horrible all around.

Welp … the All-Star break has killed the Red Sox positive momentum again. What an awful game this has been.

Jon Nelson @jmnelson.bsky.social · 18/07/2025
The Red Sox’s biggest foes this season seem to be first base — the position and base itself — and the All-Star break. Like last year, the break appears to have robbed them of their pre-break momentum.

I always think how weird it is we all know John Hinckley Jr. but nobody knows squat about the guy who tried to assassinate TACO in Pennsylvania, or remembers his name. Weird.

I like Abraham Toro, but is apparent that he is not a third baseman. #redsox

This Red Sox game feels particularly disastrous. I can’t recall such a pathetic performance by what is essentially a AAA roster.

I’ve been a Red Sox fan since the ‘70s and I can’t remember a team this bad. Ever. Those teams back in the day would break your heart, but they were competitive, had characters, and were fun to watch. This is honestly sad. #redsox

The only way Garret Crochet is going to get any run support is if he picks up a bat and starts scoring them himself. #redsox

So I guess Red Sox fans can safely conclude the Walker Buehler experiment is officially a failure?

The at home assassination of a state lawmaker should be getting a bigger reaction from the President than someone throwing a rock at a Tesla dealership.

I’m trying to take a wait and see approach with the Devers trade, but I’m having a hard time seeing how this is good for the Red Sox and their admittedly slim playoff chances this season. And coming right after a sweep of the Yankees, when fans are feeling good, is a gut punch. #redsox

Odd how all the anti-government, “Don’t Tread on Me,” 2A types seem to have no issue with the federal government sending armed soldiers to “keep the peace” in American cities.

The fact that Zach Kelly is on the Red Sox roster is a major problem. Horrendously bad pitcher. #redsox

Well subbing Campbell in the 7th sure worked like a charm … #redsox

Why, in the name of all that’s holy, would you sub in Campbell to hit??? He hasn’t hit anything in two months!!! #redsox

After Cora’s comments after tonight’s game, if the Red Sox lay another egg tomorrow, I think it’s official — this season is over. You have to wonder what changes will come, including players, coaches, and even the manager. #redsox

The new definition of “insanity” is putting Zach Kelly in a game and expecting him to do well. #redsox

Campbell really needs to sit for a bit, if not go down to Worcester. He’s killing the team at the plate and in the field. #redsox

If the Red Sox deal Duran, one of their best, most exciting players, I’m done as a fan. I’ve seen this organization trade away top talent to save a few bucks too many times. I also live in LA and am reminded daily of what the team lost in Mookie Betts. #redsox

Abraham Toro is playing so well — in the field and at the plate. Really nice surprise. #redsox

Curious why Fitts, who never completed his rehab starts, would start real games over Dobbins, who has been pretty solid. This Red Sox organization/management is … interesting.

Cora keeps saying they need to do better, and every day they fail to do better. That begs the question - Why can’t he get his team to fix the continuing issues? Does he not know what to do? Is he unable to get the team to do what needs to be done? He’s not the guy for the job. #redsox
