Remember why they are in the US in the first place: the Trump administration lobbying on their behalf to free them from Romania.

Saka hat-trick seals 6-4 England win over France in epic World Cup third-place playoff

🚨🏅 OFFICIAL: Bukayo Saka, Man of the Match for England-France.

We can all cackle but this is important and should be celebrated: The final day of the Far Right CPAC conference with Liz Truss and Aus’ Pauline Hanson speaking had just 100 people in the audience.

Looking forward to England arranging a couple of friendlies between now and the end of the month so Declan Rice can get a few more minutes in his legs.

This is the funniest, stupidest, maddest, game I've seen and yet it's very annoying that it's a 3rd place game.

That was fun

That was a fun game.

Cooked Rice is okay, this is overcooked Rice, get him off Tuchel you twat.

AOC: Is the answer to our problems to turn to the same playbook over and over again? A playbook that says, in order to win, Democrats must rely on the same dark money—$50 million and counting—from the same people who backed 35 election deniers to Congress who voted to overturn the 2020 election.

Is it not a bit mad that Saka can score twice (so far) this evening but wasn't used against Argentina at all?

Mike Lindell, a leader of the election denial movement who was endorsed by President Trump for Minnesota governor this week, acknowledged that he is not registered to vote in his home state. nyti.ms/3REK2zf

In @nytopinion.nytimes.com “Like most other Americans, I believe immigration laws should be enforced,” writes Rachel Reyes, whose son was killed by an ICE agent in 2025. “But we should not be asked to choose between enforcing the law and transparency when federal agents kill someone.”

I have to say, I find the current transfer fee inflation confusing. We are seeing big jumps over recent summers. Usually this is tied to new TV deals but that didn’t happen here. Maybe the new PL financial restrictions are less binding? Am I missing something here?

"[Africa], a quarter of FIFA’s electorate thus votes as one, election cycle after election cycle, and we are expected to believe this is unity". "It is not unity. It is a mortgage on our dignity, repayable in silence".

And now, the elected VP of the US Soccer Federation (you read that correctly) gives Infantino both barrels in @theguardian.com. More will follow.

Two U.S. service members were killed in action in Jordan while defending against Iranian ballistic missile and drone attacks, the U.S. military said Saturday, as the Middle East conflict intensified following the collapse of a ceasefire deal.

Mayor Zohran Mamdani said in an interview with The New York Times that his administration was still discussing whether to arrest the Israeli prime minister, Benjamin Netanyahu, if he comes to New York City as expected for the U.N. General Assembly in September.

Half of Canada’s wildfires are in remote areas with no road access. Not only is it impossible to get firefighters on the ground, there is also insufficient time to react.

Quick advice to any Democrat running for anything or already in office: Every interview, in fact almost every sentence should end with “Trump crime family” or “corrupt.”

Following the strikes at the Wildberries logistics facility in Elektrostal, the sky over Moscow has darkened. This is at the Domodedovo airport.

Astonishing statement from Finnish FA president in which he explains that, despite reservations, he will support Infantino as he fears Fifa money will dry out if he does not - perfect illustration of how the current system is propped up by fear and bribery. Via @staniselsborg.bsky.social

ICE needs more guardrails — not less.

There's nothing wrong with our elections, but there is something wrong with Donald Trump.

This is the tell that a pundit favors Republicans. Republicans are an ideological party. Democrats are a coalition party. An ideological party favors purity, within and without. It tends towards fascism. A coalition party welcomes dissent and democratic pluralism within and without

Mocking the Democratic candidates in Maine may feel good now, but reality it’s a very blue environment and Susan Collins is six years older than when she beat Gideon and has been voting with Trump 95% of the time. She gave the go ahead on an extra 70 billion for ICE with no guardrails.

🚨BREAKING: A federal appeals court revived USPS’ ability to move forward with Trump’s anti-mail voting rule. The rule would mandate new federal checks before mail ballots are sent to voters

Didier Deschamps on the substitution of William Saliba against Spain: Saliba’s injury hasn't worsened, but he has been playing through the pain since March. It has now simply reached an unbearable level.

Lol Graeme Souness says "Declan Rice, for me - limited. I think he might be a centre-half." And then Declan Rice goes on to like that post from ESPN on IG. 😂

Ohio now leads the nation in the amount of people dropping their healthcare. This is a dangerous and unacceptable reality. www.cleveland.com/news/2026/07...

Republicans refused even the most basic guardrails on ICE. Now the consequences are being measured in lives. The Trump admin rushed 12,000 agents onto our streets without ensuring they were fit to carry a badge and a gun—and Republicans gave this rogue agency vast power and no accountability.

Sen. Ossoff asks Trump's Director of National Intelligence nominee about Tulsi Gabbard's presence at the Fulton County raid this year.

Pres Trump’s plan to charge for early access to his pronouncements on his truth social company should be illegal. The information he releases is not his personal property. It belongs to the people. He has no right to sell and profit from it.

They are losing, and they know it. Election officials will not be intimidated. Senate Democrats will make sure resources are in place to fight back against any illegal activity by the Trump administration.
