(On heat death) “Question for Commissioners: If we had a serial killer who had murdered at least 30 people over a 10 yr. period in Arizona, would you want the authorities to attempt to apprehend and stop this killer? If you answered yes, good for you, and you have the power to stop the killer.”

If people in the media cannot decide whether they are in the business of reporting news or manufacturing propaganda, it is all the more important that the public understand that difference, and choose their news sources accordingly.

@AOC
Completely and utterly unacceptable. Biden promised to welcome immigrants, and people voted for him based on that promise. Upholding the xenophobic and racist policies of the Trump admin, incl the historically low + plummeted refugee cap, is flat out wrong. Keep your promise.

Under the new gaming operation, will the @Dbacks still award a straight payment of 3 @tacobell tacos for 5 runs? Or will the run total float by game? Or would it be possible to win more tacos if you put the run line higher?
