The Sox are gathering information on Curtis Mead’s broken wrist, including whether he’ll need surgery. Could the injury be season-ending? Chad Tracy: “It’s hard to say.” He said any information on a timetable will need to follow the visit with a hand specialist.

Curtis Mead, wearing a brace on his left wrist, said an MRI today revealed a fracture. He’s not sure if he’ll need surgery. He’s flying back tonight to meet with the Sox’ hand specialist.

As other media outlets move quickly to hire former Washington Post sportswriters, do the people who run the Post realize how foolish they were? Probably not, which is the problem in the first place.

The Trump admin is scrambling because the secret police it sends out for kidnappings and rioting has been killing people on video then brazenly lying about it, but Schumer's instinct is to whip his caucus into taking a position *more conservative* than that held by the median voter. He's got to go.

Beyond helping establish DHS itself in 2003, Mr. Mitnick was a senate-confirmed Trump choice for General Counsel for DHS in his first term. I've talked with him a few times, and he's not a man for hyperbole. So bear that in mind when you see him calling out DHS's "lawlessness, fascism, and cruelty."

I helped to establish DHS in 2002 and 2003 and later had the homeland security portfolio as a White House Counsel and served as General Counsel of the Department.

The deadly shooting in Minneapolis today was a straight-up execution of a protester by Trump's federal brownshirts. 

The thugs wrestled him to the ground.  They pistol-whipped him, then shot him multiple times.  They murdered him.

Pretti clearly did not brandish his gun. Which means the government is saying he was killed for legally exercising his right to carry. It’s as clear-cut a violation of the Second Amendment as I can possibly imagine. And we’re about to see the bulk of the gun rights crowd defend his murder.
