The red card against Balogun was a bad call, but given the apparently corrupt circumstances under which it was suspended, the only ethical choice is for Balogun to voluntarily sit the match out. If he plays there will always be an asterisk not only on his performance, but on that of the whole team's

“They have heard stories that would break anyone’s heart & move anyone... to rapid action... for four years in these halls they have failed to act. But here in Idaho we retain something powerful, a citizens ballot initiative, a tool of direct democracy when our Legislature will not act. So we acted”

Disgusting

thenerdstash.com/greg-abbott-... Texas Governor Greg Abbott has recently vetoed a bill that would grant federal funds for a summer lunch program aimed at low-income children The decision sparked outrage among Texans who criticized the Republican governor for cutting costs in such an important area

Good advice

Is setting a thermostat the dumbest thing ever politicized? Nickki Haley I think this idiocy is on you.

Massive surveillance, taking control of companies, state control of the media, massive propaganda campaigns—Trump is indeed a communist.

#TODAY Largest veteran led action since Vïetnam about to step off in #Phïlly. There is no organized resistance against rising authoritarianïsm in this country‼️ #Freedom #Fäscism #PA

In Minnesota their property tax is progressive using some pretty wonky policies, but it’s net progressive in the end. Most states attempt a flat tax on property. But all the states that do some form of value capping end up having a mostly regressive property tax.

Correct. Property taxes are wealth taxes. Should be taxed progressively.

One of the great presidential speeches

Happy 250 to the USA where celebrations are being canceled because of a climate change-driven heat wave and where both political parties ignore the fact that the price of continuing to subsidize fossil fuels now exceeds the price of a 100% transition to renewable energy. www.tiktok.com/t/ZP8GU7MhT/

Prairieland sentences brings war on terror home Protesters at ICE's Prairieland facility recieved far harsher sentences than anyone from Jan. 6's violent mob And by "terror" they mean "legitimate, constitutionally protected dissent" www.salon.com/2026/07/03/p...

Hypocrisy IS A CORNERSTONE OF THE GOP.

When Jeff Bezos (who is 100 times richer than Taylor Swift) was married, he essentially took over the city of Venice, pushed locals aside, and provided nothing lasting in return. Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce personally donated over $26 million to charities to commemorate their wedding.

One potentially easy SCOTUS reform is to prohibit the use of the Court using the shadow docket to settle cases. The Court must give reasons.

JUST IN: Todd Blanche has responded to Judge Sullivan's Order on my preliminary injunction and it's...more deflection, bullshit, and attempts to conceal. storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.us...

HOLY SHIT. FIFA President Gianni Infantino is at the USA game, sitting with Howard Lutnick, Secretary of Commerce AND CLOSE PERSONAL FRIEND OF JEFFREY EPSTEIN. Disgusting.

Please remember that American Jews are friends of democracy.

Good for them. On the other hand, Musk. He has been responsible for killing thousands through his ignorant destruction of USAID and more.

Reagan excelled as Head of State—the symbolic part of the job. As Head of Government he made the country more unequal and ballooned the deficit; much better on foreign affairs. Trump is a monumental disaster on both.

Damn. @nbcnews.com www.nbcnews.com/news/us-news...

We are. Government here even regulates women’s bodies and now what religion schools have to teach.

Stock trades by President. The blatant corruption is just staggering

Have you checked money laundering?

A lot of poor white people don't mind staying poor as long as Trump makes them feel superior because they're white. Racism is the magic dust of politics: It makes people vote against themselves.

Elon Musk on MacKenzie Scott giving away $26 billion of her fortune: 'Sadly,' it makes the world a worse place This from the billionaire that doesn’t pay taxes.

Even the morning devotional in which half the class read Genesis 1:1 did it for many of us. You gotta start thinking about this 7-day stuff when you are learning that the earth spins on an axis for 24-hr days.

“The Administration is on the cusp of blowing up US intelligence collection for a generation.”

additionally, if there is ANY possible non racist motive for an explicitly racist action, Alito says you must accept it as the actual motivation. meanwhile, ANY use of race consciousness to prevent or alleviate discrimination is unconstitutional under “equal protection”

Who would’ve thought the world’s richest man would also be the leading cause of death of the world’s most poorest people. @mluckovich.bsky.social

Communism.

Weird question

Truly the most idiotic, unserious, backward looking mob of degenerate elites in human history.

The fact that stephen miller is saying the US is closed to asylum seekers from Haiti while granting asylum to white South Africans should tell you all you need to know.

THE SUPREME COURT IS KU KLUX KLAN KOURT !

As Samuel Alito carried water for white supremacists, he should be reminded that the second iteration of the Ku Klux Klan (after World War I) was more virulently against Roman Catholics (that would be you, Samuel) than they were against Blacks.

We are also the only country without universal healthcare. We are such a backward nation, run by selfish, greedy people who only care about the money they can wring from the system—not us.

The question Senator Gary Peters of Michigan put to Postmaster General David Steiner on Wednesday was direct and unambiguous. “If a state refuses to turn their absentee voter list over to the federal government, will the Postal

I couldn't cover all of Trump's corruption - I'd break the floor speech record if I tried that. But this is why Trump isn't fixing America's problems: he's too busy rigging the rules for himself. Once corruption becomes normal, it becomes permanent. We can't let that happen.

Texans have endured abuses of power and discriminatory actions that weaken their voice and limit opportunity. We cannot allow the law to be twisted to disadvantage people or undermine their rights. As Attorney General, I'll stand by your side, not in your way.
