But just tell those whose hopes may have been shutdown by Trump Regime incompetence to just "suck it up and move on"

Every day, they tackled complex issues with life-or-death stakes:

A failure to get donor organs to critically ill patients.

Tobacco products designed to appeal to kids.

Maternal and infant death. 

They were hired after lawmakers and bureaucrats debated and negotiated and persuaded their colleagues — sometimes over the course of years — to make those problems someone’s job to solve.

Then, this month, they were fired as part of President Donald Trump’s widespread purge of federal workers. Suddenly, the future of their public health missions was in question.

What little I know about the Tigers, I do get the feeling there would be at least some voices on the squad who would put up a stink here and resist.

I'm convinced Dan Campbell was a Republican. I don't want to know if he still is and/or a Trumper.

Honestly do not know.... I have hard that Colt Keith's SO has shared MAGA stuff on her social media. But that's just one player.

I give most of them a pass because I doubt they are out there absorbing all of this and researching issues, etc.  These are people who have been living basball since their middle school years. During a season it's all they do and if they played in travel leagues as kids then their summers and weekends were taken up.

I was saying I know Flaherty, Holton, and Brebbia off the top of my head would probably not visit this White House.

The ones with college degrees...likely not

If Javy Baez went to the White House, Trump would send him to Gitmo even though he's Puerto Rican and I don't think fans would be upset. 

It seems like the Tigers have an unusually high number of white players. They aren't woke and making DEI hires.

Tyler Holton isn't one I would expect, although likely a bit of judging a book by it's cover

I may be wrong after a look at his Instagram follows (Ben Shapiro and a few others). I do remember him doing a vaccination PSA or something, so that may be where I was getting that.

I do know Flaherty was ostracized by the greatest fan base in the world for speaking out in favor of BLM.

That's some injustice I could get behind.  (j/k)

Plus, most of them are from the south, so even if they did look into the issues, they would be heavily influenced by MAGA. 

I think the NFL players are protesting Trump because there are so many Black players and they have to protect their teammates even if they are not on board with all the issues.  MLB is much whiter in demographics and culture, so maybe they wouldn't push back so hard.  I don't know.

Can you imagine if the Eagles had actually accepted the invite? Trump would have spent the entire time talking about how the city they play for stole the entire 2020 election from him.

I noticed this the other day, too. As of last season, about 32% of MLB players are Latin, another 6% African American, and 3% Asian, which adds up to about 42% non-white. The Tigers projected 26-man roster as of this morning is 21 white (81%), three Latin (12%), one Asian, and one African American (remember, Flaherty identifies as black). And one of those Latins is a hip pointer away from being replaced by another (sub-replacement) white guy.

I'm willing to believe that this was a random consequence of front office philosophies in rebuilding the organization and not an explicit ethnic cleansing of the roster. That said, the paucity of obviously African Americans on the team can't be helping with rebuilding fandom among black Detroiters.

Dan Bongino as deputy FBI director 😂😂😂😂

I have a friend who thinks Bongino is the greatest guy ever...other than Trump of course.  Always tells the truth!
