There's no reason for the Nats to dump salary right now. You're not going to need luxury tax room anytime soon. Just play it out. No benefit to this. twitter.com/granthpaulsen/…

The ruling in the SD-LA game is nuts. Runner is out by 10 feet at plate and was ruled safe. Bizarre. Runner wasn’t close enough to have his path blocked. Change the rule.

This thread raises the question about the House Republicans: Are the nutcases or the autocrats in charge? Answer: yes, both.

This is plain crazy. In the House Republican conference, the nutcases are in control. Making the House a lawless laughingstock. Shame on
@SpeakerMcCarthy
. Even you should know better.

218-208, House keeps alive the resolution to censure Adam Schiff over his Trump-Russia probe comments. The vote to censure him expected to occur in 5p vote series, likely making him just the third member in the 21st century to get censured by the chamber

On Manchin-No Labels 3rd party bid: “I have advised him against it. I think it would be a terrible idea,” said Sen. John Hickenlooper. “It would help Donald Trump.”‘Terrible idea’: Fellow Dems try to stop Manchin's presidential flirtation politi.co/3CKTaHj via

Many are skeptical he'll mount a third-party White House bid. They also fear it could hand the GOP both the Senate and the White House if he does.

Donald Trump is a threat to democracy.
@NoLabelsOrg
is pro-Trump. Therefore it’s No Labels that threatens our democracy system.

In recent op-eds and TV appearances, the leaders of @NoLabelsOrg have repeatedly claimed that our efforts to convince them not to field a third-party candidate in 2024 is "anti-democratic." This is a quite rich, for a bunch of reasons. 🧵wsj.com/articles/democ

Interesting thread by
@amyewalter
. But voting patterns from 2020 make one thing clear: 2024 will be tight and a vote for a third party like
@NoLabelsOrg
is essentially vote for Trump. No Labels equals Trump.

Biggest challenge for pollsters & consumers this cycle is the gray area in which many voters are occupying. Binary choices don’t work well when voters are as ambivalent about their choices for POTUS as they are now. 1/

They’ll do anything to help Trump and kill our democracy. And No Labels is helping Trump. Shame.

“RFK is…really a Tulsi Gabbard drag-king act masterminded by the Bannon/Stone ratfuckers on the right. They see RFK not as a legitimate candidate but as a Trojan horse to damage Biden and get Trump back in the White House. To them, RFK is just a pawn.” thebulwark.com/a-pawn-runs-fo

This thread by

is required reading for anyone who cherishes American democracy. No Labels equals Trump. A vote for a No Labels third party candidate is a vote for Trump. Pure and simple.

1/ Good morning. If any of you are still bamboozled by Nancy Jacobsen and Mark Penn's @nolabelsorg's actual intentions let me hook you up. They claim to be moderate, centrist problem solvers who are running a 3rd part effort to "give Americans more choices."
