I feel like the USA goalie should simply not let the ball in.

If someone I loved raped someone, I would not support their candidacy for political office. Yet there are still some ride-or-die Platner supporters. I just don't get it.

Mr. King, he raped someone.

How does it work? Graham Platner tells the Secretary of the State of Maine that he's withdrawing from the Democratic Primary before 7/13 @ 5PM. He's then replaced on the ballot by someone who isn't a rapist

It was pretty easy not to support the Nazi tattoo guy, just saying. I mean, so far it's a pretty decent indicator not to support someone. "That guy has a Nazi tattoo." "Well, I won't be voting for or supporting him. Because then I'd be voting for or supporting a guy with a Nazi tattoo." Pretty easy!

The Pod Save bros are pretty much shitheads, no?

The nice thing about taking easy moral stands like "Nazi tattoos, being a racist shitposter and sexually assaulting women are all bad" is you never have to worry about explaining why you defended any of it in service of winning an election

ActBlue donors can request refunds if they donated to Platner's campaign. Pass it on. Directions below: (And if you do this, please share that you did so on social media). help.actblue.com/hc/en-us/art...

So the Nazi-tattoo "I like killing people" cheater is also a rapist. This is an account of a rape. Against her will, he forced himself on her and ejaculated in her after entering her house without her permission. Wondering when Platner fans will handwave this away.

Granted I know little about FIFA and soccer, but what is to stop a World Cup ref from red carding top players to give other teams better odds, if there's no review process to undo it? Messi did similar act, no red card. Ronaldo had red card before World Cup, still played. But Balogun should sit?

Vaya mierda.

Holey cow, this rang a memory in my brain like a gong, I could never remember where I saw "records and a song about lies," and here randomly I find the answer decades later!

“The formula for democracy is a thing of multiple parts. At its core is nothing solid, just a framework, on which pieces brought across oceans can be conjoined. From many, one.” Fascinating interactive exploration of the powerful metaphor of the creation of the Statue of Liberty (I learned a lot):

I don't know, man, if another billionaire shut down parts of NYC and had the Empire State Building recognize them, wouldn't most people be offended? Genuinely finding this a bit offensive.

I'll summarize this: Mamdani asked NYers to keep air conditioning at 78 degrees. A wave criticism hit online. A MSNBC broadcast pointed out the US Department of Energy recommends that 78 degree figure. Immediately after, the US Department of Energy deleted 6,000 web pages related to energy saving.

Mamdani: "As we mark 250 years ... we see the wealthiest country -- one where children go to sleep hungry while the world's first trillionaire hungers for more ... we see masked agents terrorizing our streets, eating food cooked by undocumented neighbors before spiriting them away in unmarked vans"

The new theonion.info is live. Zoom in and out and play around with it. It is for psychopaths.

USMNT staring down this bleak reality and then inexplicably scoring another goal like

. . . . that's a red card??

The Supreme Court just weakened the rights of all women to police the activities of TEN TOTAL trans women playing on teams in the NCAA. www.motherjones.com/politics/202...

"The Court gives the President a power unknown even to the English Crown against which the Founders revolted, elevating him above his once-coequal branches by transforming a duty to take care that the laws be faithfully executed into a license to act in defiance of those very laws." Sonia Sotomayor

Josh is one of the very few people who I think grasps the actual extent of the problem we're facing and the approach we need to address it.

🚨SCOOP: Republican Rep. Tom Kean repeatedly voted against legislation to give Americans paid family/medical leave, before Kean took 4 months of paid medical leave from Congress for depression - all while somehow finding the time to raise himself $160,000 worth of campaign cash.

lol. lmao

Justice Jackson’s concurrence is dead on: “The distortion of historical facts—retellings that reimagine and repurpose past events to lend credence to misbegotten aims— may be an even greater threat."

Justice Jackson: "Justice Thomas's telling elides the entire point of the Second Founding: The Reconstruction Amendments were an anticaste, antisubordination reset for the Nation, not a mere spot treatment for the dark stain of slavery."

BREAKING: More than 100 Venezuelans who were deported from the U.S. hours before the earthquakes are missing after their hotel collapsed.

need to start thinking now about a full package of judicial reforms: new justices, new circuits, new district courts, ethics reforms, docket reforms, and transparency reforms.

There are many decisions that are wrong, sometimes egregiously, as to a particular policy issue. But Slaughter belongs next to Trump v. United States as doing deep violence to the constitutional structure itself, profoundly incompatible with the very idea of power being subject to the rule of law.

This is a dangerous pattern with this Court: They find a delegation paired with a constraint, decide they don’t like the constraint, but appear totally untroubled by the idea that Congress delegated the power only *because* prior precedent assured them their constraints would be binding.

I'll tell you one thing, any Democratic 2028 presidential candidate who says they're going to "restore balance" and not fire every last Trump appointee on every commission on their first day in office doesn't deserve a single primary vote

I will once again remind folks that a very sizable chunk of what looks like Congress not doing anything to push back against the president is in fact a consequence of the Court disabling/destroying all the ways Congress has tried to push back.

The three branches of the United States government, as delineated in the Constitution, are the God Emperor, The High Council of the Six Ayatollahs, and the Federal Reserve

I would love Alito to explain to me how he thinks elections worked in the 1790s

Effectively declares that the Constitutional Convention, the Federalist Papers, Washington, Adams, other presidents, centuries of jurisprudence, and many others were wrong about the presidency, and that the only ones who ever understood it correctly were Richard Nixon, Donald Trump, and their fans.

The Supreme Court Gives Donald Trump Full Control Over the Executive Branch, Except the Part of It that Impacts Their Retirement Portfolios

Circa 1910, this rare Hupfeld Phonoliszt-Violina self-playing musical instrument creates the sound of a live musicians playing both piano and strings. Imagine the creativity and intelligence it took to design this. Just wow. www.yourclassical.org/story/2017/0...

Mamdani just showed up at Penn Station, wristbands in hand, helping World Cup fans find their trains like it was nothing. Panama vs England, MetLife bound, and the mayor was just out there in the crowd. No big deal. Very big deal.

What an image

Ossoff: "While hundreds of thousands of Georgians lose their healthcare, Mike Collins builds Trump a ballroom. They worked harder burying the Epstein files than they ever worked to lower your grocery bill."

Ossoff: "Just think, 250 years on, what the Founders would see if they visited us today. *crowd groans* But wait -- they would see that slavery had been abolished. They would see that Americans without land, and then women, and then the descendants of slaves had secured voting rights ... "

Ossoff: "The president was so humiliated in Hormuz he threw his toys out the stroller & refused to sign the affordable housing bill. That's after he gave some felon donor a no bid contract for the reflecting pool & it filled up with algae, which for some reason required the deployment of the Guard."

Ossoff: "Mike Collins is a bigot and antisemite under federal investigation for the illegal misuse of tax dollars, widely known as a man of poor character who lacks the judgment and integrity to serve in the Senate."

Ossoff: "When they gathered in Atl to remove Black elected officials not by defeating them at the polls, but by manipulating maps to dilute minority power, they saw you mobilize & they backed down. A wave is building ... let's make sure they hear it down at Mar-a-Lago, that GA will bow to no king!"

Thank you, Justice Elena Kagan, for responding to the SCOTUS decision to deport Haitian refugee families back to a place we know is unsafe, by adding Trump’s vile, racist, exact words into the official case record.
