Unbelievable. Congrats to @washingtonspirit.com and @nccourage.com for a great game in this miserable weather. 💓

"We are going to beat the fucking shit out of them," says self-professed "peace president" and winner of the prestigious @fifaclubworldcup.bsky.social Peace Prize.

Fox correspondent: "President Trump tells Fox News about Iran, 'We are going to beat the f**king s**t out of them.' He went on to say, 'We'll be hitting them hard. They're going to get a beating.'"

All these players hate Trump who is already bored because no one is excited to see him 😂😂😂

I love the internet

There’s really no other team that Messi would want to lose to. He loves Barca and this style of play.

That was a goal.

OSSOFF: I expect tonight's speech to be equal parts pathetic and dangerous. I think we will hear from the world's most famous sore loser, a prime time presidential sour grapes address reheating, debunked conspiracy theories about an election in which he was soundly defeated.

We cannot accept the reckless use of deadly force by federal agents as normal. There is a pattern of this administration misleading the public and withholding key facts after these killings.

We can see this in the ICE flight data. Domestic “round-up” flights are spiking, and some activist flight watchers report the flights are getting fuller. But deportation and removal flights remain steady. This means the concentration camps are getting packed to the brim. It’s awful to comprehend.

Aaron Reichlin-Melnick@reichlinmelnick.bsky.social · 2mo ago

ICE is engaged in a very large escalation nationwide, with the agency claiming to be hitting record arrest numbers amid the return of quotas. This has gotten very little attention from the media because ICE learned lessons from the chaotic disasters of Kristi Noem’s tenure. Keep a watch.

We can't accept the future Trump is giving us where getting sick means going broke. Grateful to @pelosi.house.gov for partnering with me on this piece & for her decades-long leadership fighting to make health care more affordable for families. Read: www.usatoday.com/story/opinio...

Pelosi, Rowe-Finkbeiner: We can fix health care, but Trump chooses Iran

Republicans triggered this health care crisis by slashing $1 trillion from Medicaid and failing to extend the Affordable Care Act premium tax credits.

Egypt has been playing scared. Not going to stop Argentina from scoring if you’re basically running defensive drills against Messi

Egypt is crushing Argentina on transitions. Hoping the next 20 min isn’t filled with dives in the box 🤞🏼

Egypt!!!

I’d love to see Lukaku play in La Liga. That would be fun. Congrats, Belgium. Congrats to the USMNT for making it this far. It’s embarrassing to have our corrupt president collude with FIFA to influence World Cup rules. That will forever be s shameful part of this World Cup’s history

Trump (with an assist from Rudy Giuliani’s son!) started another war and ruined the most popular sport in the world. FIFA President Gianni Infantino should resign.

The Associated Press@apnews.com · 2mo ago

European soccer body UEFA criticized FIFA for an “incomprehensible and unjustifiable decision” to let United States forward Folarin Balogun play at the World Cup against Belgium despite a red card in his previous game.

Can we not have military jets flying loudly and at high speeds right near the Capitol please? It’s terrifying, especially knowing how unhinged this president, vp, and director of defense are.

Oh boy the look on Gyokeres’s face when Mbappe scored

The Trump Department of Justice is going after anti-ICE protestors in Minnesota. It’s weird to hear that from the people who support pardoning the January 6 rioters who destroyed federal property and assaulted law enforcement.

This is the story. Don’t get caught up in whether or not you like mixed-marital arts. This is corruption. What else would you call it, when a major Trump campaign donor and a private corporation that Trump owns stock in, hold an event at the White House? www.nbcnews.com/politics/whi...

Yep. And Democrats should be taking food issues much more seriously—health, environment, animal cruelty—it’s all connected.

The MAHA moms who helped elect Trump are out of patience

As Republicans fight to hold Congress, they shouldn’t count on the women who helped elect Trump in 2024, MAHA activists say.
