Thread on a missed opportunity for the Yankees, who are paying the price for refusing to spend their cash on Cole, Corbin, and Greinke over the past few years.
When you own the Yankees, there is literally no reason to not spend money other than you'd rather have an even higher profit margin. And that's what they do now.

Here's the initial comment from CNN's Sean Duffy about Lt. Col. Vindman: "He is a former Ukrainian, he wants to make sure that taxpayer money goes in military aid to the Ukraine. " Then Berman asks him to explain, and things get gross quick.
That triggers a several minute back-and-forth, including the viral clip you've probably seen. Later, Berman reairs the clip, calls it "a pretty shocking statement." mediamatters.org/sean-duffy/cnn…
In another CNN segment, Jeffrey Toobin refers to Duffy's "insanity, and frankly anti-immigrant bigotry."

A spate of Fox live-tweeting yesterday evening.

Left, Fox's The Five, 5:01 p.m.
Right, Trump, 5:22 p.m.

Note that when the president refers to politicians as "corrupt" he means they oppose him.
Per Nexis this quote that Trump tweeted last night about impeachment being a "hoax and a silent coup" is from a letter to the editor in yesterday's New York Post.
Left, Fox's The Ingraham Angle, 10:05 p.m.
Right, Trump, 11:50 p.m.

Saturday.

Based on a Fox segment, Trump suggests his own DOJ is withholding evidence and says "hopefully" more proof of "treason" will be revealed.

Left, Fox & Friends Saturday, 6:02 a.m.
Right, Trump, 7:02 a.m.
Saturday.

Left, Fox & Friends Saturday, 6:24 a.m.
Right, Trump, 7:21 a.m.
At this point on Saturday morning things got weird. Trump appears to have stopped watching Fox & Friends and tweeted an exact quote from the March 23 edition of Tucker Carlson Tonight.

Left, Tucker Carlson Tonight, 3/23, 8:06 p.m.

3/ In 2019, there are still educated people who say that intelligence is a function of hard work and effort, or, as some on the left claim, the product of privilege or oppression, despite the fact that scientists have known for decades that IQ is mostly genetically-influenced.

Thread: On Why Things Are So Screwed Up

1. The number articles, blog posts, tweet-storms, and one-on-one conversations that have commiserated about the cultural demise of the US over the past 50+ years is mind-numbing!
2. Woe is us! How did things deteriorate to the point wherein Antifa protesters are left to their own devices by law enforcement in places like Portland to commit violent acts against individuals and private property, not to mention threaten public safety in general?
3. Antifa and the BLM crowd are merely symptoms of the problem. The real root cause is cultural rot that we’ve allowed to happen in the US over the yrs. The Marxist-founded ACLU accelerated the destruction of our cultural institutions from its origin in the 1930s to the present.

Thread: More on that Global Hawk Shot Down by the Iranians – Lies and Damn Lies

1. Iranian apologists are out in force trying to defend the IRGC’s shoot-down of a US RQ-4 Global Hawk Unmanned Aircraft System (UAS) on Thursday.
2. BTW, here’s what the manufacturer says about the aircraft; well worth a look if you don’t know what it is or can do:
northropgrumman.com/Capabilities/G…
3. In “dueling diplomatic statements,” Iran and the US have made quite different official statements on what transpired. An IRGC general took credit for the shoot-down, claiming that the RQ-4 was “inside Iranian airspace.”

📣 THREAD: On Saturday, @SpeakerPelosi announced the @HouseDemocrats will be unveiling “sweeping legislation to protect people w/pre-existing conditions & lower healthcare costs” tomorrow. I’m 99.9% certain this refers to #HR5155, introduced last year: acasignups.net/19/03/24/its-o… 1/
@SpeakerPelosi @HouseDemocrats Assuming this is accurate, #HR5155 would include 15 provisions to REPAIR and STRENGTHEN the #ACA.

All of these are important, but some would have a more obvious impact than others. The two biggest are 1) removing the 400% FPL subsidy cap and 2) beefing up the subsidy formula.
2/
@SpeakerPelosi @HouseDemocrats So, how much would making these first two changes reduce premiums? Let’s take a look!

By limiting housing supply, we push up the price of housing (both renting and purchasing). Renters respond to this by either moving further away from their work or paying more in monthly rent.

Home owners? They like it.
Effectively, #NIMBY is a huge regressive tax.

Imagine you make $40k and spend $700 on a 1 bdrm in Madison. Over the past few years your rent probably went up by $1,500/yr. That's the same as if your federal taxes had increased by 50%.

Fifty Percent!!
Imagine if Republicans or Democrats proposed increasing income taxes by 50% on the lowest income earners in our country. Totally regressive. There would be a HUGE deal about this. Especially from the left. As there should be.
