Live Scoring: Tigers Facing Second-place Royals

Removing the stain of Trump's presence at Jimmy Carter's funeral. As it should have been. Source: The Daily Beast Kamala Harris’ social media post honoring Jimmy Carter seemingly slighted Donald Trump as the vice president shared a snapshot from the late president’s funeral featuring all living U. S. presidents, except for her political rival. The wide angle photo, posted to her Instagram on Saturday, appeared to crop out Trump, who was seated next to Barack Obama during the ceremony. Followers were quick to point out the president-elect’s exclusion with one user writing “Best photo crop of the decade.” “This crop is legendary,” another commenter added. I can't imagine anyone saying something similar when Trump kicks off in a few years. President Jimmy Carter loved our country.

President Biden spoke of the economy after December's jobs report. "Let me close where I started with this morning's jobs report: more than 250,000 jobs in December," he said.

Keep up the fight for the better America, it's the best way to show our patriotism. The Warning warns us that the lessons of the Titanic are enduring. Diane Ravitch's Blog argues that President Handsome Joe Biden should release Jack Smith's report.

A few months ago, Elon Musk became the world's top Diablo IV player. People wondered how that was possible, as typically gamers devote all their waking hours to reach those echelons. Many suspected it wasn't him, and on a recent stream that was confirmed. He's paying someone else to play in his name.

Good morning! I have gratitude for all of the firefighters fighting our wildfires and more gratitude for all of the people poised to fight for our rights and programs like Medicare, Medicaid, the ACA, and Social Security, all of which are on Republicans' chopping block. Please call your representives and Senators every day.
