I hope Mexico beats England today as revenge for Mexico week on the Great British Bake-off

I don't think Balogun deserved the red card, but I also don't like this decision by FIFA. Just as I didn't like the allowance of Ronaldo to skip his ban or the Iranian team having to go back to Mexico after every game. FIFA is corrupt, and the current American government is corrupt. Oh, go Mexico.

Has FIFA told us what the final score in Monday’s USA v Belgium game is going to be yet?

Pope Leo: you're all schismed now Pope Leo: an if you wanna come back, you gotta write "i am very very sorry for rejecting Vatican II" a hundred million times Pope Leo: IN INK

BASH: But it peeled off. Why did that happen? BURGUM: It didn't peel off. There was vandalism. There was box cutters. There have been 7 arrests. BASH: There are photographs of people cutting a 350 foot gash in the reflecting pool? BURGUM: Dana, I'm not sure why you keep questioning it

I actually love that the right thinks Democrats can control the weather.

Francis’ “Synod on Synodality” (absurd name for an objectively great thing) felt like a possible first step towards a Vatican III actually

"Raul" harvests tomatoes at Gargiulo and is excited about his new 3 year UFW contract. He'll earn $0.90 per 25lb bucket for first-pick round tomatoes, a 4-cent increase from last season. Based on average production he might earn around $1.50 more per hour. #WeFeedYou

waffles, smurfs, king leopold, slow french, racist airlines... take your pick

Democrats are communists in the same sense that Donald Trump is a Christian: They are not.

🚨 Exclusive: The White House made a direct call to FIFA to ask Gianni Infantino to review Folarin Balogun’s red card. FIFA approached for comment and referred to the findings of its independent committee.

We should be getting second quarter fundraising numbers for Senate candidates very soon.

quite a contrast between Cape Verde against Argentina and Paraguay against France. Both were playing against two great teams that had far more experience and talent. Cape Verde stepped up and gave Argentina a serious challenge. Paraguay played like thugs.

I’ve deleted this out of abundance of caution. But holy cow is it plausible.

Is DC okay? This looks more like an attack than a fireworks show.

No I won't sit down, or shut up when things are factually wrong. The Nordics don't claim they're Socialist. In fact, they've specifically asked Americans to stop this. You can get mad about it but it doesn't change reality.

Epic Cat Slide into dinner 😺

The masked white supremacists who marched in Washington DC yesterday were members of Patriot Front. Here's a 5 minute report on the group we produced last year. www.youtube.com/watch?v=SMi_...

A Blue check socialist leftist telling a Black woman to sit down. Or, in other words, just another day on Bluesky.

Truly offensive, Chicago Tribune.

Cabo Verde team returns home. Such joy!

You knew Trump would still find a way to ruin the World Cup I'm a beyond-diehard USA fan who thinks Balogun's red card was wrongly given, but this taints everything. I'd rather lose by the rules (which includes bad officiating) than win with rank corruption

I liked reading a lot of newspaper comics as a kid and not all of them held up but honestly I think Calvin and Hobbes has gotten better as I’ve aged truly a masterpiece, and endless props to Watterson for ending it on his own terms

It continues to be insane, the stuff newspapers give Trump agency over and the stuff where they bury consequences of his own actions starting in ¶19. www.wsj.com/politics/mid...

We are at war again! Our enemy this time is apparently algae… Check out these signs placed around DC this weekend. 🤪

From our German friends, who know of what they speak. Translation of text: "Musician Clueso speaks plainly: If they talk like Nazis, if they behave like Nazis, if they make statements like Nazis, then they are fucking Nazis."

I had the privilege of recapping last night’s Trumpian horrors with the great Ian Masters (ianmastersmedia.bsky.social) on his Background Briefing radio and internet show. www.backgroundbriefing.org/2026/07/05/b...

How did Stephanopoulos not break out in guffaws at this answer? 😂

STEPHANOPOULOS: Trump has repeatedly claimed vandals cut a 350 foot gash. That claim is echoed in a legal filing by your department. What evidence do you have? BURGUM: Ah, well we have the actual cuts that were made S: There's a 350 foot gash? B: Well it's multiple gashes that add up to 350 feet

Death by a 1,000 fictional cuts

Mother Nature understood the assignment.

PASTOR LORAN LIVINGSTON (@CentralChurchNC): “There has never been a Christian nation, and never will be. You don’t live in one now. A Christian nation wouldn’t have killed and displaced 20 million Native Americans, or thought owning slaves was pleasing to God.”

Ukraine reclaiming Crimea is a very big deal. A Black Sea peninsula and homeland of the Tatars.

Excited to share this 250th project that has been long in the making, created by some of the best writers and historians of religion in America. Since its inception, the United States has been shaped by an endless variety of beliefs; together they have made us who we are. www.undergods.org

Good morning and Happy Sunday to everyone who agrees it's a damn SHAME that trump had to make America's 250th all about himself, with his pathetic attention-seeking, divisiveness, and stupidity. History will remember him as an embarrassment, but he deserves to be completely forgotten.

Reform UK’s Robert Jenrick says Farage accepted staff, security and accommodation from George Cottrell before becoming an MP

There’s no difference between men marching in white masks and men marching in white hoods. None.

Trump not knowing what’s in America’s foundational texts is very on-brand.

well that was quick

No, Laura. It’s not “Antifa.” It was Patriot Front, a white nationalist organization. They covered their faces because they’re cowards who don’t want to be identified. We’ve been saying for over a year that ICE officers shouldn’t be allowed to wear masks either. They are cowards also.

I think I have had enough 4th of July for the rest of my life

Trump’s suicidal cult has found shelter from the storm...in the African American History Museum because of course. God is laying it on thick today.

Congratulations, Sandy (@srosnato.bsky.social)!

If the military bands are up for doing Village People tunes, shouldn’t they be doing “In the Navy”? youtu.be/nmGuy0jievs?...
