We deserve this.

An all too familiar feeling for the USMNT, whose World Cup dreams end at the hands of a European side once more 😔

Yep. There's no way to excuse this. The USMNT had an opportunity to advance to the quarterfinals for the first time since 2002 -- *playing at home* -- and they looked like shit.

There’s no shame in losing to Belgium, but there is shame in losing this way. So comprehensively. We didn’t go out like Mexico. We didn’t have as good of a first half as Canada. We looked completely outmatched.

Before the whitewash comes in, a reminder that because of Mitch Mconnell American women are dying and bleeding out because they were denied abortion care. Because of McConnell the Russians were free to interfere in our elections. Because of Mitch billionaires are coddled while kids get screwed over.

Force him out now. He’s done. No funding.

Yep. And somehow elected Democrats cannot make “Trump is the most corrupt president in US history” common knowledge. Because they’ve (with notable exceptions) barely tried to make it an issue.

Mbappe fires back at the racist Paraguayan senator who said he grew up with chimpanzees

Great work Maine Democratic Party.

So fucking dumb that he confesses to crimes daily.

Yep. His almost daily lie that the election of 2020 was rigged has mostly gone unresponded to. Democratic Party malpractice.

Yep. This is a FIFA-Trump corruption/gross incompetence situation.

people need to go to jail over this, its the only thing the democratic party should be saying right now. all of them, in unison, no matter the question or topic, needs to be saying “insider trading is against the law”

Never mind the athletes who have spent their lives to get to this moment — or the coaching staff who have spent years planning for this. Donald Trump wants to hijack credit for any success the USMNT has.

An absolute clown whose interference taints any potential success the USMNT has going forward.

It’s extremely telling that the major media outlets are almost completely silent on whatever is going on with Mitch McConnell. A simple search for his name on Apple News yields almost exclusively smaller regional publications covering it.

US looks increasingly like a captured petro island in the world economy: "You wouldn't know it if you live in the USA or consume US media and politics, but the fight between EVs & ICEs is basically over...ALL the growth globally is in EVs" Polycrisis Podcast open.spotify.com/show/78cVf8D...

This alone should be a decade-defining political scandal resulting in prison sentences.

Impeach.

The fascists are dumb and desperate.

A broadside assault on truth that must be taken seriously. This administration wants to replace independent scholarship and curation with propaganda and Prager U. drivel. The Kennedy Center was bad enough. This is worse.

So multiple Jeffrey Epstein connections to this FIFA decision.

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

Yep. There’s never a moment where Trump questions if his insertion is problematic. Perpetual narcissistic toxicity.

Everything he touches is tainted

Update: the most predictable man did it again. Clown. www.usatoday.com/story/sports...

So I guess birthright citizenship is good now.

In order to avoid further controversy and speculation of corruption, the USMNT really needs the FIFA peace prize award winner to STFU about this— something he’s incapable of doing

I don’t feel like he deserved a red card but this comes across as shady — yes, I know that’s not something FIFA cares about.

Journalists don’t have to accept being lied to. They could simply state “I am here to ask questions. Sometimes those questions will make the Trump administration uncomfortable. That is not my problem. I will not allow you to lie to me because you want to please your boss. You are not welcome back.”

It’s been several days since democratic socialists won primaries in multiple states. We haven’t had diner profiles of their voters the way we got profiles of tea party and maga supporters shoved down our throats for the last 15+ years. The mainstream media is in the tank.

nobody in the press wants to address the fact that almost everybody at the upper echelons of tech is a full on eugenist nazi

To be clear, Trump just gave a speech for July 4th that was offensive to an overwhelming majority of American citizens.

season 5 is a little weak, but the wire closes absolutely strong. easily one of the great works of american fiction and maybe the greatest work of fiction about an american city

This would be really serious if there were still laws and courts in the USA.

Donald Trump should die in prison.

A $3 @mta.info subway fare and some good Q train timing can buy you one hell of a view of the July 4th fireworks and the Brooklyn Bridge light show! Huge shoutout to the train operator for slow rolling over the Manhattan Bridge and the conductor for announcing it.

Guess it was also divine providence that Gerald Ford was President of the United States for America’s bicentennial. Either that or Watergate and Nixon resigning in disgrace.

It’s time we moved to our real anthem: Party in the USA.

Also Trump flags.

The Declaration of Independence specifies 27 grievances with King George III and Britain. Donald Trump and his regime have committed at least 20 of those same offenses highlighted in yellow. Happy 250, America!

So tired of Independence Day being co-opted as a military holiday.

I published a book on American democracy almost a year ago now. This is the conclusion.

A very telling thing about this is a liberal majority court, much less a 6D-3R court, doesn't even enter their minds as a hypothetical point of comparison. It's just taken for granted that's not within the range of valid possibilities to think about.

The racism, misogyny, and bigotry of the Republican Party is somewhat understood, if not publicly accepted. What goes unacknowledged is their sociopathy.

Making the air dirtier is something Donald Trump has rewarded.

Your two options in American politics are the "let's raise taxes and give rural America subsidies" party and the "let's cut taxes and give it all to billionaires" party. I think it would be neat if there were a "raise taxes and invest in urban areas" option!

What no one ever considers is: What if "investing in Red America" is just politically hopeless? Can we maybe, for once, invest in blue America instead?

Nothing quite captures the spirit of America 250 like promising a century of single party rule if only one party can change election laws.
