Would go on “for awhile.” Before long we’ll hear about how we are turning a corner in Iran negotiations.

Today we joined 25 partner organizations urging Gov. Whitmer to bring Michigan's National Guard home from Washington, DC. Four governors have withdrawn forces already. Michigan's are slated to stay through August. The Guard belongs to Michigan. The letter: www.brennancenter.org/our-work/res...

I truly fucked up not doing my due diligence on Platner before offering high praise for his communication skills. Enough was out there at the time that I should have been more cautious. Especially because I met adventurer dudes like him reporting in Iraq. Deep respect to all who got it right. 1/2

Still true

I relate to Argentina because this is also the only way I can get work assignments done

argentina scored the way you fall asleep. slowly. then all at once. my god

The thing is, people who are virulently anti-immigrant, vocally supportive of policies of cruelty, always have this idea that the rules they clamor for will be excepted for them, or people they care about, or "the good ones." The cruelty is for "others." Surely someone will sort it out, they think.

periodic reminder that the boat bombings are still happening

"We give the state credit for not feigning limits that its theory lacks, but the chimeric government speech doctrine it conjures cannot withstand constitutional scrutiny" I spend a lot of time thinking about sentences, and that's a musical, beautifully wrought sentence and how fun is "chimeric?"

The Tennessee Bureau of Investigation is investigating the fatal shooting of 20-year-old Tyrin Johnson by two Tennessee National Guard soldiers assigned to the Memphis Safe Task Force during an early Sunday morning foot pursuit in downtown Memphis. Our statement:

We found out who we were.

Can’t even walk away with pride, or foster a long rivalry, or choke back the heartbreak with having striven valiantly, à la Mexico. A loss like this… it’s ugly and twisted and frustrating Makes you want to slink away for scream at a teammate or fellow fan. Feels … feels icky

Pretty shit day all around for how I feel about America. had been riding a pretty good high on that front so I suppose today was due

Here’s my counter: Drop out immediately, and never appear in public again In return we’ll do our best to forget your names, you can go be a used car salesman somewhere, and the only memory of your sordid careers will be the stain you’ve left on Democratic politics and American civic life.

just like Harry Potter and the Patronus. He knew he could because he already had

Now we found out who we are. How do you react when you come out flat and nervy and don’t keep your hands up and get your bell rung in the first round. Get mad you sons of bitches, get mad

The greatest USMNT hype video ever made was for the last time we faced Belgium in the knockout rounds. youtu.be/trezxZUrEz8?...

Darren Aronofsky's Mary Poppins

“Calling him a Nazi and a war criminal…” He chose to have a Nazi symbol put on his body permanently After serving in uniform and seeing war, he chose to work for Blackwater He chose to be unfaithful to his wife And he has continuously chosen to decline responsibility for any of these actions

Harry Kane with his usual level of comprehensibility

The game delivered. Everything we could have asked for

3-2 is the perfect soccer score. It's enough goals that its exciting. But not too many that they feel cheapened. Anyway you got to that score line, there is drama. And there is a winner. It's the ideal score.

Fourth quarter football

England, welcome to CONCACAF After Dark

You can tell that this game will destroy at least one nation's psyche and that's what sports are all about baby

Still true

This game is cocaine on a motorcycle ht @downsk.bsky.social

They’re gonna kick the shit out of Harry Kane for the next half hour

What a fucking game!!!!!

Big “Pluto” there. Stay classy Mexico fans

For sure a red

CONCACAFFFFFFFFFFFFF

The Azteca at night. Where boys become men. Girls become men. Men become men. Women become men. Dogs become men. Cats become men. Monsters become men.

CONCACAFFFFFFFFFFFFF

Game on

CONCACAFFFFFFFFFFFFF

If I was England and needed to win a big game, not sure I’d go with the Tottenham kit

Peter Crouch is the best youtube.com/shorts/dERNJ...

Theres a lot of people out there saying that what the U.S. has done is wrong, and a perversion and a stain on international football. And I can’t argue. It’s wrong, and as an American I apologize. There’s no excuse, no excuse, for foisting Alexi Lalas upon world football.

I get trepidation about Trump possibly intervening with FIFA over Balogun But 1. Trump claiming credit means zilch. We have zero insight into the real process because 2. FIFA is incredibly corrupt. Always has been. Either you enjoy the sport spite of it, or not. Welcome to international soccer

My god that Viking can score goals

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

We will not go quietly in the knockout rounds. We will not vanish without a No. 9. We’re going to run in behind. We’re going to survive. Today, we celebrate Balogun Independence day.

And should we win the day, July 6 will no longer be known merely as an American soccer fan holiday. It will be known as the day the US declared in one voice:

Perhaps it’s fate that this comes just after the 4th of July, and that once again we find ourselves fighting for our freedom. Not from tyranny, oppression, or persecution. But from FIFA corruption. We’re fighting for our right to exist as a footballing nation.

We can’t be consumed by our petty differences anymore. MLS sickos, Premier League snobs, “wake me up when the World Cup starts” casuals, March Madness degens, SEC football diehards - we will be united in our common interest.

In less than 36 hours, USMNT players will be joined by millions of supporters across the country, and you will be watching the largest soccer moment in the history of people who still call it soccer. Soccer. That word should have new meaning for all of us today.
