Fauci’s contradicting of the president almost exclusively involves Fauci stating extremely obvious facts that only need to be stated because the president has chosen to respond to the pandemic with relentless lying.

American friends, just for the sake of my own interest and to prove a point...
If you have ever avoided going to the doctor because you're afraid of a bill you can't afford, please RT this.

The GOP effort to slam through the Kavanaugh nomination is a flashpoint because it reveals the essence of today's GOP: a belief that some people are better than others, and should rule the rest of us. That has been the heart of GOP since 1980; the Kavanaugh case exposes it. 1/

This "all men should be worried about accusations," is a load of shit. Men who should be worried know they should be worried. The non-assaulting rest of us sleep fine.
@jonfavs Thanks for talking about the career path of Democratic staffers. One thing you didn't mention is that the lack of work-life balance means that anyone who isn't good enough to become a consultant simply leaves the career entirely. That's what I had to do.
Its not just the lack of stability in where you live; its also the 90 hour expected work weeks. When I was hired as a staffer in 2008, working for a union supporting the Iowa Democratic Party, I was told I could take 3 days off before labor day. I would work every other day..
@Joe_Davis Lets talk about the decline in stolen bases because it doesn't have much to do with home runs, other than true extremes (eg the dead ball era, or 1968). Stolen bases are a risk/reward play: some portion of the time, you gain a slightly increased chance of scoring. 1/
Its very much not a 'just hit dingers instead' thing. Its that even in a small ball era, getting caught stealing is extremely bad, and so players need to steal when their chances of success are good.
The stolen base is really tactical, not strategic. Its bad over 162 games. /7
