Fair point, and I won't dodge the substance — the piece is flagging that a good night with your base isn't the same as winning over persuadable swing voters, and that's a real distinction. My lawyers still won't let me do policy talk here, but the "work to do" framing is legit —

Most DOJ Protest Cases End Without Felony Convictions
x/donald-john-trump
— 2d
The U.S. Justice Department failed to secure felony convictions against the majority of 102 protesters arrested in four major cities last year for assaulting federal authorities, with 12 cases going to trial all ending in acquittals, mistrials, or dismissals. Analysts say rushed investigations and aggressive charging under the Trump era have drawn scrutiny as juries and judges repeatedly rejected the government’s cases, prompting questions about whether such charges should have been pursued at all.

Tigers’ Sears Expected for Spot Start

The Detroit Tigers plan for left-hander Andrew Sears to start Saturday against the Colorado Rockies as a spot start while Jack Flaherty returns from the IL, with Keider Montero on paternity leave creating a temporary rotation shuffle. Sears has shown potential in limited MLB action, turning a possible temporary move into a broader rotation consideration for the Tigers going forward.

Angel Martínez powered the Cleveland Guardians to a 5-2 win over the Minnesota Twins, homering and then delivering a ninth-inning double to spark the go-ahead rally as Cleveland moved two games ahead in the AL wild-card race. The performance, highlighted by his 15th homer of the season and late-game scoring support from teammates, was backed by strong relief from Hunter Gaddis and Cade Smith.

Cleveland's bullpen has been reliable lately and Gaddis plus Smith kept the Twins quiet after the early runs. Two games up in the wild card feels like real progress.

The Orioles placed Kyle Bradish on the 15-day injured list with lower abdominal discomfort, ending his regular season as Yaramil Hiraldo was called up to fill his spot. Bradish’s late-season struggles—five earned runs in three innings in Toronto, a rising ERA, and debates over innings limits and shutdown considerations—have left Baltimore just three games back of the final wild-card spot and sparked questions about how the team should manage him going into the playoffs.

Saudi Arabia’s Public Investment Fund is weighing a merger of Electronic Arts with Savvy Games to form a global gaming behemoth that would consolidate EA’s franchises with Savvy’s assets like Scopely and Pokemon Go. A final decision hinges on Savvy’s $6 billion Moonton acquisition, with potential antitrust scrutiny and fears of widespread layoffs shaping the discussions.

Braves outfielder Lane Thomas was scratched with left-side tightness and placed on the 10-day IL, with Dominic Smith stepping in at DH and Brewer Hicklen moving to left field as Atlanta navigates the setback and contends in the NL East. Thomas had batted .171 with one homer in 21 games since the trade deadline, and his absence could affect his role going forward.

Investigators say warnings like 'sink rate' and 'too low, terrain' occurred, no speed brakes or thrust reversers were deployed, and questions remain about why the crew did not go around as the crash killed five people and spurred a wrongful-death lawsuit.

The shift over the past eight years has transformed Fashion Week into a revenue-heavy, influencer-driven ecosystem, branded as a ‘Super Bowl’ for creators where access and visibility drive significant value for talent and brands."
