In 2019, home teams in final playoff rounds are 3 wins and...
***17 lossess***
And trailing again.

No jinx but...
Go @Nationals.
For the record:
1) I thought the umps got the call on Turner right (he was running all the way on the infield grass).

2) Bring back Strasburg for the 9th. He has been filthy good. 102 pitches or so. If a runner gets on, then go to the pen.

Ok, @realDonaldTrump & #MAGA, let's "Read the Transcript!"

(Set aside the problem that it was edited).

The transcript is explicitly a corrupt quid pro quo felony, as I explained when it was released:

Trump⁩: “I would like you to do us a favor though.”

@realDonaldTrump Here is a thread I reposted last week when I was baffled that journalists didn't understand an explicit felony/corrupt quid pro quo when it was staring them in the face.

@realDonaldTrump 3/ BREAKING NEWS:
Why stop with the phone transcript when we have more transcripts confirming what was already explicit?

Sondland knew he'd been explosed, and just amended his testimony to admit that there was a quid pro quo:
Arms for Biden investigation.

I fear we have 5 voters in the US:
1. White nationalists who‘ll vote Trump uber alles
2. Evangelicals: hold noses & vote Trump
3. Indies/Mod Dems who won’t turn out for lefty
4. Lefties who won’t turnout for moderate
5. NeverTrumpers who vote libertarian

We lose 2-1 each time.
Many replies here object to my phrase "evangelicals hold noses."

My point is to distinguish the evangelicals *gleefully* holding their noses to own the libs, to own the Court...

Vs. Indy/moderate or lefty Dems who are too purist to hold noses to save the country from Trump.
3/ And many replies here keep pointing to nationals polls or the 2018 midterm numbers.

It's the Electoral College, people.

Yesterday's polling @nytimes shows a repeat of 2016.
Answers: Don't assume your candidate is the winner.
Work hard for the nominee.

Given the breaking news about govt lawyers John Eisenberg & maybe Michael Ellis allegedly helping cover up Trump's crimes...
it's a good time to remember both of Nixon's AGs and 6 other govt lawyers were convicted of crimes related to cover-ups:

 18 USC 4: Felony Misprision:
"having knowledge of the actual commission of a felony cognizable by a [fed] court, conceals & does not as soon as possible make [it] known to some judge or other person in civil or military authority."
See @NatashaBertrand:
@NatashaBertrand 3/ It's a sad day.
I knew John Eisenberg & Steve Engel from the Yale Law Journal.
I organized a panel with Michael Ellis, a YLS 3L doing solid work... on the history of elected prosecutors & their ethical challenges.
All the privilege & opportunity in the world.
Used for this.

OH NO YOU DIDN'T. To the dude who just accused me of "jumping onto the #Nationals #WorldSeries bandwagon" I give you this thread of 7 years of our family @Nationals games (we've taken infants as young as 6 weeks). 1/
2/ At each @Nationals game, kids take turns choosing a baseball to buy, then we write the date and who attended. We have big glass jars of baseballs from these games. My goal: but thy time last kid graduates from high school, we will have a giant wall of baseballs, each a memory
3/our son's first @Nationals game, age 3...

President Mwai Kibaki was in his office at State House. It was early 2008 and he had a lot to mull over in his in-tray, not the least of which was the PEV that was raging in the Rift Valley and threatening to consume his presidency and destroy the country.
Suddenly, the Comptroller of State House, Mr Hyslop Ipu, came barging in with a mobile phone in hand. Waiting to talk to him urgently on the other end of the line — 7,500 kilometres away in the UAE — was his Information minister, Mr Mutahi Kagwe.
All the way from Abu Dhabi, Mr Kagwe could hear the President tell Ipu to hand over the phone in his famous baritone, “Leta hiyo kitu.”

Today, I will try my hand at live tweeting insights from "A #Home of One's Own", a two-day #researchworkshop on socially & economically #marginalised women's experiences of and negotiations with #genderinequalities in #informalurbanhousing in India.
This workshop has been organised by #JadavpurUniversity (School of Women's Studies), #RabindraBharathiUniversity (Centre for Women's Studies) and #Parichiti, a women's organisation. All three are research partners on a #GCRF project funded by @GoldsmithsUoL.
Since Oct 2018, I have collaborated with Dr. Henrike Donner, who is leading it, to develop #researchcollaborations with #educational and #development organisations in India to implement a pilot study on #genderurbanhousing. This workshop marks the end of the first phase.

Thought experiment time. Imagine that you're a funder, and you can only ask a funding applicant three questions. After the third answer, you're going to have to make a funding decision, yes or no. What three questions would you ask?
Delighted to see so many people in the mood for a thought experiment tonight!

It's only just occurred to me that if I was a mad [data] scientist your replies would make for a promising training set for my machine learning model 😀
Here's the thought process that inspired this thread.

In social science research, people talk a lot about the different predictive powers of answers to different questions. Here's a fun article on the predictive power of questions to ask on first dates theblog.okcupid.com/the-best-quest…

Friday at 6:15 a.m. @ICEgov will begin the deportation of military wife Alejandra Juarez. She contacted me out of the blue months ago, after we wrote about the wife of a 7th Soecial Forces vet who got a last minute reprieve. It was her last hope. Other media followed (more)
I live in DC, where we stand for veterans & military families in the 3rd inning at every #Nationals home game. It’s a stark contradiction to the vitriol I heard about Alejandra. It didn’t matter that her husband was an honorably serving Marine, or that he later deployed to #Iraq
... as a member of Florida’s National Guard. With each story, I got to know Alejandra better. With each story, @ICEgov thought the emphasis on her husband’s military service - instead of her illegal entry was unfair. Each piece became a re-trial. (More)

Home
no one leaves home unless home chases you
fire under feet
hot blood in your belly
it’s not something you ever thought of doing
until the blade burnt threats into
your neck
and even then you carried the anthem under
your breath

#home #warsanshire #poems
#WhereAreTheChildren
only tearing up your passport in an airport toilets
sobbing as each mouthful of paper
made it clear that you wouldn’t be going back.

you have to understand,
that no one puts their children in a boat
unless the water is safer than the land
no one burns their palms
under trains
beneath carriages
no one spends days and nights in the stomach of a truck
feeding on newspaper unless the miles travelled
means something more than journey.
no one crawls under fences
no one wants to be beaten
pitied
