Some thoughts on the CR/minibus. 1 The Dems negotiating with Rs were not freelancing. They coordinated with Sen Schumer. A few were ready to give in on day one, others worked to maximize appropriations wins. Those voting for the 'deal' are the ones furthest away from electoral consequences.

Good night, sweet prince. Your watch is ended.

This is an all timer

Thank you, New York City. Together we made history. Now let’s get to work. transition2025.com

There will be roughly 20 people who move out of New York City bc of Mamdani, and there will be over 400 articles about them.

“I wish Andrew Cuomo only the best in private life”

“Our negotiators had never seen this before in any international talks,” said one European official, who had spoken to negotiators. “People being summoned to the U.S. Embassy in London — intimidation...threats of family members losing visas.” www.politico.eu/article/us-a...

"Seattle Sounders just about edging. At one point, they looked beyond comfort." MLS After Dark inspires some truly poetic commentary.

All the Eastern Conference Round 1, Game 2s are in the books! Here's who's going home, what we learned, and what should come next. Including a plea for courage from NYCFC, more of the same from Nashville... and the best night for Crew fans since 2024. www.mlssoccer.com/news/eastern...

Peak #MLSCupPlayoffs Apparently, some #NYCFC fans studied up on their "not nice" Croatian words ahead of Game 2 😂👋😘 @mls.bsky.social @charlotte-fc.bsky.social

I’m offended we’re reduced to rooting for corporations to save our culture from worse corporations.

great hot mic moment on Chicago Fire radio heading into halftime

“The department declined to answer questions about whether the donor is an American citizen or a foreign national.” Jesus Fucking Christ

Every game in the #mlsplayoffs has been 3-1 to the home team so far

NFTs are amazing because you apparently “own” them but the AWS outtage yesterday took out everyones apes lol

thank u for your 1 F-35 anonymous donor who definitely exists

I legit think it’s awesome Landon is publicly saying: “my body doesn’t match the image i have of myself and how i want to live in this world.” Everyone should be offered that freedom. Trans Liberation is Liberation For All www.nytimes.com/athletic/672...

Huge on Armas for this, respect regained

This is absolutely pathetic from Armas. How can he deserve the job if he can't even handle one, slightly in context question. Just say something like "yes we came up short this year, but we made some real strides in terms of building the team and I think there's a strong foundation to build from"

Oof. Tragic how accurate the wooden spoon dynasty prediction might end up being

Do you think I’d explain my masterstroke if there remained the slightest chance of you affecting its outcome? I made the NYPD woke 35 minutes ago.

You’d think if the Trump admin was so certain they were drug trafficking terrorists that it tried to kill them, it would have enough evidence to prosecute them. But like with Abrego Garcia, Trump sees deportation as a way to avoid the justice system: to accuse without having to prove guilt.

Student media rules. They are lapping a lot of the spineless media orgs this year and showing how solidarity is the way.

Read this if you're even somewhat interested in concacaf soccer. The best coverage out there, during an age where there's more contenders in the region than ever before

🔥ZOHRAN: “What I don't have in experience, I make up for in integrity. And what Andrew Cuomo lacks in integrity, he could never make up for with experience.”

this is actually really funny because i don't think there is literally any policies on the table that can alleviate this outside of state subsidized purchases (lmfao) for foreign brasilian beef imports that are currently tariffed at like 40% iirc

You should read this article about how you continue to get bombarded by scams because of Elon Musk’s Starlink

When you learn nothing

News: a U.S. Soccer-led committee proposes a shake-up of college soccer. The recommended men's model would override current conferences, include an element of pro/rel, and extend the season fall-spring. Spoke with Cindy Parlow Cone, JT Batson + others, and dove in @theathletic.com:

Pochettino: "Cristian Roldan is maybe an example of if you want to build your perfect player...he has a little bit of everything."

🇸🇷 Suriname had a rich soccer history cut short by tragedy & turmoil. Now, Dutch-Surinamese players are looking to carry on the legacy of the players that came before them - becoming local heroes in the process. My piece from Paramaribo for @espn.com: www.espn.com/soccer/story...

when you hit the wrong button

lmfao

✅ He fired a U.S. Attorney who refused to bring charges against her ✅ He replaced them with someone with NO prosecutorial experience This isn't justice. This is retaliation. When Black women do their jobs with excellence, they face attacks. But AG James isn't backing down, and neither should we.

🔥🔥🔥🔥

About a month ago, the Trump administration got rid of the de minimis exemption, whereby packages valued under $800 could slide in without import duties. Now there's a backlog as the government can't process all of this paperwork, leading to UPS just destroying packages

After spending 43 years in prison for a crime he didn't commit, evidence hidden by the prosecution reversed his conviction. Rather than finally enjoying freedom, ICE abducted him for deportation Depraved. www.miamiherald.com/news/local/i...

The celebrations after Virgil Misidjan’s late equalizer at the Essed. Incredible.

Fantastic article from Jon ahead of today's WCQ clash between Guatemala and top of the table Suriname. Strongly suggest you check it out

Fact that MLS didn't exist 35 years ago and is now a top 10 league – which includes things like local player development – is huge. And it wasn't guaranteed. Look at how much money China spent on soccer. What did it get them?

“I’ll declare war on you if you don’t give me the peace prize” is an incredible bit

The US are into the U-20 World Cup quarterfinals for the fifth consecutive tournament. **insert 2000 words on the MLS academy initiative kicking off in 2007, and this being immediately downstream of that**
