The Coward Matthew Yglesias

troubling ........ not content to simply get Folarin Balogun back from his red card suspension, the FOX desk is talking about how the USA playing in Seattle will provide them a "12th man" in tonight's game tonight. this of course would be a massive breach of FIFA rules and regulations

I don't think it should be legal to hide whether an elected official is conscious and or alive.

mcconnell can still wake up if laura loomer has the courage

Schumer endorsed him when he won the primary I wouldn't go that far lol

oh yeah this is a weekend at bernie’s situation

Mitch McConnell is fine. He's on a farm upstate oppressing people, and he's very happy

Yes, and, the work of establishing democratic freedom on earth will not be done until rape culture lies in ashes

as people rush to assign blame let's not forget who saved us from this breaking in October

checking in here

just circling back here, Matt

Not that this would be exonerating but I don’t think it counts as a “date rape” if they’re not on a date and in fact the guy broke into her house.

Re: Graham Platner, I felt like I was being punked when people acted like he wasn’t obviously dishonest and untrustworthy this entire time. Starting with the unbelievable defense of his tattoo, which I was shocked to see people fall for

I made the exact same statement on Instagram… the amount of “Republican psyop” “Trump bad therefore it’s fine to vote for Blue Trump” is frankly horrifying

Man got Chotiner’d without even agreeing to an interview. Astounding

Reminder: there is no excuse for smearing women who come forward about sexual assault. It doesn’t make you righteous because you agree politically with the abuser.

if Bernie and Warren have the wherewithall to withdraw their endorsements I think we could wrap this up pretty quickly

oh it’s over over

A woman who dated Maine U.S. Senate candidate Graham Platner says he forced her to have sex with him nearly five years ago despite her repeated objections, an allegation Platner denies.

i will not forget the men who downplayed the earlier allegations of abuse against platner and said accepting them was just the price we had to pay to gain control of the senate. i hope they feel like fucking assholes.

AOC not getting behind Graham Platner looks like a chess move now.

he should drop

Pod Save America? NO NO NO, POD DAMN AMERICA!

Jenny Radicot is a goddamn hero for coming forward now, when there was still a way out. I don't want to hear anything to the contrary.

Graham Platner has been credibly accused of rape, & there are extensive receipts. I’ll admit that I was hesitant to condemn him before the Times article, but evil triumphs when we do nothing. He’s crossed THE red line. He must drop out. I’d recommend @troyjackson207.bsky.social as his replacement

and there's the rape allegation he's gotta go he should've been gone a long, long time ago but he's gotta go

This is awful, and I feel horrible for Racicot and humbled by her courage in coming forward. I also think a revelation like this was all but inevitable given all the red flags in that NYT story.

Paging Troy Jackson. Really don’t want to rerun the 2024 Presidential swap out but I don’t see how we have a choice

Get his fucking ass out of here www.politico.com/news/2026/07...

I feel like many centrist Democrats think 'the base', including their beloved Black and older women voters, are still roughly where Indivisible was in 2018 and it's like, no, 50501's social media in 2026 is a lot closer to what we're dealing with.

We interviewed @justinjpearson.bsky.social who is running for Congress (TN-9) about fighting back against gerrymandering, data centers, & billionaire megadonors. Thank you to our friends @couriernewsroom.bsky.social for filming!

Medicare Advantage is a corporate handout for insurance companies

#Lakers continue to be linked to a pair of backup centers: lakersnation.com/lakers-rumor...

Mexico v England is the most extreme version of this

personally I think FIFA should throw everyone a curveball and say Mamdani convinced them to rescind the suspension

international soccer is maybe the funniest sport to pull this navel gazing hairshirt shit about, we americans still have a lot to learn about being soccer fans

You had students arrested for nonviolent protest. Your endorsements mean nothing, except as a signal to all anti-fascists that your preferred candidates will also side with MAGA against free speech. Being supported by you is like being supported by Bill Maher.

50501...I am still somehow surprised by your game even being mutuals with your social media guy

A reminder that Michigan AG Dana Nessel indicted 8 students on trumped up charges for the crime of being opposed to Israeli apartheid and genocide, then she, Jake Tapper, and Dana Bash *made up* a quote from Rashida Tlaib criticizing this to call her an antisemite, and then the case got dismissed.

the problem with 'ah ha! now you like birthright citizenship' is that the Trumpists' understanding of the world always includes the ability of the absolute monarch to make exceptions.

This might be the most blatant example in existence of "rich guy who created a problem attempting to place the blame for that problem on immigrants"

the Somali referee thing seemed like bullshit but I didn’t really deep dive on it; the treatment of the Iranian team by the US was shameful and unforgivable

"birthright citizenship is destroying this nation and everyone who benefited from it should be denaturalized and deported except this one guy, temporarily, for sports reasons" about sums up this administration

Endorse Abdul El-Sayed @mallorymcmorrow.bsky.social and you will be reincarnated as a Lotus Flower, as Brad Lander was before you.

truly one of the all time worst senate campaign bag fumbles I’ve ever seen endorse el-sayed, mallory, it’s the only redeeming move you’ve got left

I’m not giving Trump any credit for the Balogun thing, FIFA just does this stuff on its own
