Thanks Bloomberg for interviewing Cal Ripken, Jr. and me about Baltimore Orioles. We covered a lot in this 10-minute podcast. Enjoy! youtube.com/watch?v=yhpFT-…

Two important and wildly under-reported stories starting to truly break through: - Russia's deep penetration of the Republican Party - Trump's utter madness Feels like the dam is starting to break on both now.

BTW good for Cuban for using his pretty large-scale mainstream business clout to call out the NYT and others on their whitewashing Trump's disturbing mental issues. Unlike the libertarian tech bros, Fortune 500 types will actually listen to Cuban. And advertising is still king.

One step up, two steps back. But here's one consequence of this development: Once Trump is no longer a candidate for office AND has lost the election, it will make it a million times easier for Judge Merchan to sentence him to prison. We fight on, friends.

"It's completely un-American in any sort of American tradition...these are the heirs to the greatest generation, the people who sacrificed to defend democracy. What do these people have to do? They just have to support someone who believes in the Constitution and supports rule of

How authoritarians behave. The famous "home visit" about a possible "crime" or offense.
