I am at war with this squirrel. For the past week he’s decided to make a home in an eave above my ceiling and I can hear his every move. All day.

Tonight is the end of an era in baseball. Not just one of the greats in Los Angeles. Not just one of the greats in this generation. One of the greatest that ever was. #ClaytonKershaw
My dad used say "pay careful attention and cherish every time Clayton Kershaw pitches because he is not just a Hall of Famer but an inner circle, all-time great. The best I’ve seen since Koufax.” I’m glad I listened; he’s the best I’ve ever seen. Thank you, Clayton Kershaw.

Former SF Giants pitcher Madison Bumgarner calls Clayton Kershaw the best pitcher to ever play
As expected, @ByMcCullough is a must-read on Clayton Kershaw’s retirement announcement. https://t.co/Ea2hZ2951z

He’s even worse on the economy
New WaPo-Ipsos poll has Trump double-digits underwater on both crime (44-54) and immigration (44-55).

I’ve heard this somewhere before
Trump/the GOP have made a big bet on Latinos with Texas redistricting. It may be a bad bet. Among Texas Latinos: Trump's net favorable has fallen through the floor since 2024 (a 32 pt drop)! Why? The economy. He's 40 pts underwater on it, while he beat Harris by 9 on it.

Oh so they stacked the deck, got it
Focus groups are far from scientific. Their sample sizes are way too small to be representative (this one had 7 people). But this matches recent polling from @EquisResearch and others that finds Latinos that voted for Trump are turning on him — but are not yet sold on Democrats.

Harris' first choice being Pete is pretty much proof the campaign had no indication the minority shift was gonna happen

Trust me.
The countries where comedians can't mock the leader on late night TV are not really ones you want to live in.

Hispanics are more Republican than Whites in south Florida (Cubans are only half of the Hispanic community there)
Not too surprising but Hispanic voters in the Miami metro are more Republican than white voters. Hispanics: 64-36 Trump Whites: 55-45 Trump

We live as if life were never enough. We rush to produce, to prove ourselves, to keep up. But the Gospel teaches us that knowing how to stop is an act of trust that we must learn to perform. Life does not always depend on what we do, but also in knowing how to let go of what we

Dems are trying to figure out how to go viral, while Republicans are trying to buy social media platforms. That is how far we are behind.

It’s not. Focus groups are not scientific

@kurtisalee I don't often say "Wow" reading a newspaper piece these days, but this is a major "Wow." Beautiful piece on a baseball field in wine country. https://t.co/ZdVBU7CG40

"this is the only time it's happened in yours or my lifetime, which is that we're on the cusp of a recession and the cause is not some external factor. It's not a war, it's not an oil price change, it's not the weather. It's 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue. It's Trump and it's Trumpism"
