If we played as well as we played all tournament, we win that game 3 to 5 out of 10 times. Our players looked so nervous, as if they thought they needed to play even better to win 1/10 times. They psyched themselves out. Talent wise, we are pretty good actually

It’s weird to see people reacting to this loss as if the problem was the USMNT talent wasn’t good enough and not that the good players played like flaming piles of dog doo doo.

This USMNT loss is so disappointing because the talent gap with this Belgium squad wasn’t huge. They’re better than us, but not by leaps and bounds. We just played like absolute crap on the biggest stage. On a different day, we could have beaten them—we just weren’t up to it.

HE'S JUST SAYING IT OUT LOUD

🚨NEWS: Congressional probe alleges massive fraud in Trump-aligned Freedom 250, alleging Trump allies misled donors, hijacked America’s 250th, and sold access for millions

With this ruling, the birthright issue is not going away. The right hasn't really begun *organizing* around getting rid of the citizenship clause. Like Roe, this will be their fight for a generation. And if the Democrats just say "we won" and ignore it, like Roe, the Republicans will eventually win.

Trump White House officials secretly awarded a no-bid contract worth up to $500 million for the construction of Trump's ballroom in an unusual arrangement that sidestepped typical contracting procedures designed to control costs, according to a copy of the agreement obtained by WaPo.

AOC: These are two young, talented, intelligent women who got elected against all odds, against millions of dollars. Perhaps there is something we can learn from them.

This Danville, VA city council candidate made a very dramatic video about sidewalks and public safety, and I love it and him. Worrying about a possible milkshake duck situation, I looked at his FB page, but he seems ok. Juneteenth celebrations, community outreach, Methodists. A solid old gent.

"Data from French utility EDF, meanwhile, showed that the country’s nuclear output nationwide was reduced by 4.1 gigawatts on Wednesday as high temperatures reduced access to cooling water, according to Reuters." 🤔

IMO, California should not be diverting climate funds to oil refineries while simultaneously allowing its transit systems to go broke.

🚨 BREAKING: Judge Sullivan just GRANTED Katie Phang's motion for a preliminary injunction, ordering the Trump admin to move forward on key transparency measures in the Epstein files case—including defending redactions, producing additional records, and publishing the disclosure log required by law.

A lot of discourse since Tuesday hinges on idea that some politicians are owed a seat, it’s their turn & it’s problematic to not back them. & that’s so odd to me — because not only you have to wait for 88-year olds to deign to retire, but then there’s someone else waiting who’s owed & you can’t run?

It's weird the way the Democratic alleged leadership (Jeffries too) think that the party is a club with rules rather than something the voters choose. It's....undemocratic. But also didn't the voters choose these people because of their policies, not just because of Mandani?

Corporate Democrats fear they’re on the verge of losing the party’s ideological civil war with the working class.

If you think tonight felt good, @senadorajulie.bsky.social is up against a do-nothing Senate Dem incumbent next week. If there's one race in the country I'd focus on for the next 7 days, it's that one. Throw her some support: www.julieforcolorado.com

With its recent rulings, the Roberts Court has now entirely perverted the purpose of the 15th Amendment, turning an outright ban on racial discrimination in voting into a right to discriminate against black voters. www.theatlantic.com/ideas/2026/0...

My estimate yesterday was that Raman needed to win what was left over Pratt by 12-13% . Today, after this batch (which she won by 21%), my estimate is that she has to win what is left over Pratt by 9-10%. So she is certainly on track.

There’s been a lot of talk in this race about what makes a "real man." A man does what’s right when no one is watching. He upholds his commitments to his family and neighbors. He doesn’t lie, cheat, & steal his way through life. Real men serve others. Weak men serve themselves.

Treating all claims that AI is/will be a climate savior as abject nonsense until I see a radical shift in these trends.

George Santos: 1. Posted a video the day before Trump's State of the Union saying he was going to be there 2. Bet on Kalshi that he would not attend the SOTU 3. Did not attend the SOTU www.npr.org/2026/06/02/n...

I’m not sure why, but I don’t trust Todd Blanche’s word that the criminal slush fund is dead. Let’s still get some legislation. Let’s make Republicans vote on that. Then see if Trump vetoes it.

New research examines Waymo's California robotaxi trips btw Aug 2023 and Dec 2025. Conclusion: 46% of miles driven involved no one inside the car. That's 40 million miles of deadheading, with Waymo vehicles using road space w/o transporting a human. doi.org/10.32866/001...

LA voters: if you are dropping off your ballot today take it to a designated ballot box. Don’t drop in the mail. Your vote won’t be postmarked until tomorrow and won’t count, unless you walk it into a post office and ask a worker to stamp it today.

PSA: No Kings is supporting watch parties for the Committee for the First Amendment Concert on June 14th- not mobilizations. There are several non-affiliated scam PACs trying to raise money by promising a mass protest that's not actually happening on June 14th. Block them and tell your friends.

Wait I thought this was pretty much a done deal last week. And the week before. And the week before. And the week before …

I don’t understand how days before the election a leading gubernatorial candidate doesn’t understand the biggest CA infrastructure project. Up until a few weeks ago Becerra barely seemed to grasp the housing crisis, with few ideas on how to address it. Why are so many Democrats supporting him?
