Deeply racist, yes, but also deeply stupid. Rural counties have higher enrollments than urban ones. Some of the largest enrollment states are red ones like Louisiana, Oklahoma and West Virginia. Undocumented immigrants are ineligible. Most beneficiaries are required to work 80 hrs/month.

BREAKING: Pat Cummins has been ruled out of the first Ashes Test in Perth due to his back injury; Steve Smith will lead Australia in his absence Full story: bit.ly/4hpZg3o

Braverman deleted this tweet which made me wonder who that previous prisoner was. His name was Junead Ahmed. He was a conman mistakenly released in 2023. She was Home Secretary at the time. Oh. news.sky.com/story/migran...

Boos from the away end as Jadon Sancho comes on for the injured Buendia. 'City reject' now being sung. Sancho ran on and then had to stop to tie up his boots, which isn't a great look #mcfc www.manchestereveningnews.co.uk/sport/footba...

Can't believe we were comfortably 3-0 up at one point and I'm still here furious afterwards. 100% because of the div ref. A sign of progress we didn't let it nuke us this time, though. The 2022-23 injury-time rules only seem to be applied in games we're winning in now, it seems.

It's stunning how a big team can spend £1bn+ and still end up with the line-ups Chelsea have put out this week. The only thing they've got right is the midfield. Otherwise it's just dozens of lottery tickets they might be waiting years to cash, if at all.

As a reminder, when Biden announced student loan forgiveness—based upon a statute passed by Congress which explicitly said the President could do exactly that—Douthat called it "semi-Caesarist" because it was done "without consulting Congress."

One of the great street names.

Reform lost by 11% in Caerphilly - because of a surge in turnout, because Reform looked set to win the seat. This illustrates Reform's vulnerability *because* they are leading the polls (in a 6 party system) while being an *unpopular* party. A much bigger problem under FPTP 2029 than PR 2026

To go from "Who is Katie Lam?" to "Everybody hates Katie Lam, the Tory Idi Amin" in less than a week is exemplary "rising star" behaviour

this is utterly hilarious, turns out that it was the Tories who took the word "enemy" out of the crucial witness statement in the collapsed China spy case over to you, Kemi Badenoch? www.thetimes.com/uk/politics/...

lol, great, so we're now subsidizing Argentine ranchers at the expense of American ranchers. Seems politically sustainable, no questions from me. *US SEEKS TO QUADRUPLE BEEF PURCHASES FROM ARGENTINA: POLITICO

That’s incomplete, he only got 2 of his 3 feet down inbounds

Conte and the Champions League don't get on at all.

Here's the thing I don't understand. You can't as much as sneeze near a historic site in Washington without like 14 commissions, councils, and advisory boards giving you the okay. And everybody now is like...yup, fine with us? wtf?

Breaking - Barcelona-Villarreal in Miami is off for now. Official statement: “Relevent has informed LALIGA of the need to postpone the planned match ... Given the current uncertainty in Spain, there is insufficient time to properly execute an event of this scale."

The man whose presence might lead to Tel Aviv football fans being “falsely associated with his far-right activities,” has just visited Tel Aviv as an honoured guest of the Israeli government. Riddle me that.

EXCLUSIVE: Embattled Trump nominee Paul Ingrassia told Republicans that the Martin Luther King Jr. holiday should be “tossed into the seventh circle of hell” and that he has “a Nazi streak,” according to a group chat viewed by POLITICO.

Just listened to Talk of the Devils after Anfield. That clip of Lammens is almost as impressive as his composure on the pitch. Speaks really well. It’s as if he’s been around at the highest level for years - not 23

Israeli Police announce they have canceled a derby match between Hapoel Tel Aviv and Maccabi Tel Aviv that was set to take place tonight in the city’s Bloomfield Stadium, when fans began to riot. www.timesofisrael.com/liveblog_ent...

Not sure there was a lot of rhyme or reason to it in the second half but fighting back after the equaliser & holding on for the win is hopefully a huge moment in the season. Amongst a lot of decent performers, we don't win that without Lammens in goal. Just being competent is a huge upgrade.

lol HER COMMENTS ABOUT IDENTIFYING THE LEAKS GOT LEAKED

I just know this will come in handy at some point

Verstappen has the same problem Lando had last season of trying to make up so much ground incrementally for the entire final stretch. But McLaren are giving him every encouragement. Shutting down development of the 2025 car's starting to look like a mistake.

this rocks. when indiana edu killed the student newspaper, Purdue stepped up, printed the forbidden issue, drove it to Bloomington and stocked the boxes.

heartbroken to learn the pope sympathizes with the poor. how can i continue to believe in god

A government can turn on a dime to help Israeli football thugs have a day out in England, but are powerless to do anything re its biggest club being raped of billions of pounds/dollars over twenty years. Vocal/physical violence is being rewarded like never before, something United fans should note.

Ok fine it’s longer than 6 words but this is the greatest short story ever written.

Somehow it's only "demonizing half of the country" when Democrats mildly criticize Trump supporters. This just doesn't count

Thousands of posts from a private Young Republican Telegram chat reveal a culture of casual racism/antisemitism, rape jokes and celebration of Hitler/Nazism. Some of the ringleaders are below: We live in a world where 4chan types now occupy positions of real power. www.politico.com/news/2025/10...

Trump: "I don't think there's anything that's gonna get me in heaven. I think I'm not maybe heaven bound. I may be in heaven right now as we fly on Air Force One. I'm not sure I'm gonna be able to make heaven."

Anti-vax onstage, Pfizer backstage.

Same day that the US announced a $20 billion bailout of Argentina that will benefit Trump's political allies and donors.

Trump in 2017: “Qatar has been a funder of terrorism at a very high level.” Trump administration in 2025: We are building a Qatari Air Force facility in the United States.

A few minutes ago in the House: - Speaker Mike Johnson officially cancels votes next week, extending the House recess through a fourth week - House Republicans block Democrats from passing a bill to pay the troops during the shutdown, ensuring they will miss paychecks next week

News: Bari Weiss just sent a memo to staffers at CBS News asking them to produce a memo explaining "how you spend your working hours—and ideally, what you've made (or are making) that you're most proud of." One CBS News staffer puts it like this to me: "We just got Elon Musked."

Made the mistake of reading ESPN's latest autopsy on United. I won't ruin your day by linking to it but HEY GUYS maybe MAN UNITED should use their academy!? Did you know Brailsford used to be our Sporting Director?! And do you know we KEEP talking about HISTORY!!??

That'll learn 'em.

Turki's been talking to United due to the friendly proposals in Saudi, so it's not come out of nowhere. But it'll be funny to see all the usual suspects suddenly make shit up & jump on it as if they've known all along *something* was going on in the background. And it's already happening.
