I just want to say, while we’re on the subject: ALL of our youth sports, in one way or another, are too expensive & have too high of a barriers of entry - not just soccer. + we should reform our youth sports not with the goal to win a mWC, but with the goal to provide opps to play for all kids

🚨 BREAKING: Jürgen Klopp is reportedly leading growing criticism of FIFA President Gianni Infantino, with calls for accountability over what many critics describe as one of the most controversial World Cups in recent memory. "This is our sport, not theirs," Klopp said.

📌Absolutely incredible headline from AP: US and Iran Exchange More Attacks Across the Mideast, Threatening Ceasefire Deal Anybody want to tell them?

New research indicates that state voter registration lists — a common administration target — are actually accurate and up to date. And both blue and red states are largely doing a good job maintaining their lists. www.democracydocket.com/news-alerts/...

I think @govandybeshear.bsky.social should just appoint a Dem to fill McConnell’s seat. It would force proof of life, and the state law that stripped him of that power should be challenged in court. I’m sure Thune would refuse to seat the appointee, but I think it’s a fight worth having. BE BOLD!

Oregon raises electricity rates by 29.7% for data centers and cuts residential electricity rates by 1.3%. www.opb.org/article/2026... #energysky

He fell asleep in a meeting with Turkish President Erdogan, referred to Iran as the "Islamic Republic of Japan", TikTok as "Tic Tac", President Zelensky as "President Putin" & once again demanded the U.S. be given control of Greenland. He's much less dangerous while sleeping than when he's awake. 💤

THIS RIGHT HERE!!!

After watching FESTERman expose himself as a trump-advocate / anti Dem (why did @schumer.senate.gov keep him on ANY committee????) The video interview of the 'vetting twosome' is basis for nationwide review of how candidates are selected / cleared to rep the D Party youtube.com/shorts/9QM-i...

trump is not my president

#Gardening #Trees #Apple There’re hundreds of apples on this tree so need to clear some out and gently clip small vertical branches to open more of the fruit to sunshine. Deer, raccoons, moose, porcupines. rabbits, and black bear will enjoy this in the fall.

🚨BREAKING: California Gov. Gavin Newsom (D) will introduce new legislation making ballot seizure before they are counted and certified by a state or county official a felony. In a July 4 recorded speech, Newsom was not shy about who the law targets. www.democracydocket.com/news-alerts/...

Trump paying E. Jean Carroll makes it offical that Trump is an adjudicated rapist. No more Appeals, no more delays just the fact that we have a fucking president that is a felon and an adjudicated rapist. This country sucks if he's not impeached!

Corruption is literally what he does; everyday, and twice on Sunday, because he’s the antichrist.

The #GOP doesn’t want to lose their seat in the Senate. If McConnell dies, Gov. Bashear can appoint a Democrat, right? Is there a crematorium in the facility where #SenMitchMcConnell is a patient?

I cannot tell you how upsetting this is for me and so many others who have lived through the continued senseless and random extra-judicial kidnappings of our neighbors. Stand strong Seattle. We are with you.

#DISRUPT is on their way to help Mainers defeat Sen. Susan Collins. Thank you. #DISRUPT!!!

📌Trump brutally attacked our NATO allies today — countries that have stood with us for decades — then tried to clean it up in a completely unhinged press conference hours later. I cannot imagine how badly Biden would have been assaulted if he had done this. The double standards are absurd.

Every day during the entire history of the US we’ve had merchants offer sales, people start new businesses, companies expand, foreigners invest in US enterprises & buy products from the US. But until now we’ve never had a president claim that every bit of it was because of him.

I’m in full agreement. We must stop sending U.S. tax dollars to Israel and demand accountability for human rights violations. Our money should support justice, not empower leaders who abuse their power. It’s time to stand firmly for human dignity.

This has to END NOW! Lorenzo Salgado Araujo spent 35 years building homes and supporting his family, only to be killed on his way to work. ICE’s "self-defense" claim cannot just be taken at face value. We need a completely independent investigation and full transparency now. JUSTICE NOW!

Trump has turned the Pentagon into one of his bankrupt casinos. Despite a record trillion dollar budget, the Defense Department is nearly out of cash. www.nbcnews.com/politics/nat...

A message from Graham Platner’s Campaign manager:

I wish just one NATO leader (or all of them) would say, "This is unacceptable. The US president has lost his mind. America come get your boy. He's broken and needs to be under a doctor's care back home." I wish someone would tell the damn truth about what's happening.

Overturn a red card? Let's overturn that red hat.

Boston is suing Meta, TikTok, Snapchat, and YouTube. The city says the companies deliberately designed addictive features like endless scrolling, notifications, and algorithms that harm kids' mental health. The lawsuit joins more than 1,500 school districts nationwide.

The President calling other countries’ leaders, “bad people” is a convicted felon and sexual assaulter who is covering up his participation in sex trafficking ring.

BREAKING: Molly Crane Newman reports that Judge Kaplan has ORDERED the release of the $5m plus interest to E Jean Carroll.

Rooting for Belgium to go all the way so they can do the two-handed jackoff dance when they get the trophy.

@aroostookdemocrats.bsky.social Why is Houlton, Aroostook County Seat, not scheduled to have a meeting with members of the Dem Committee to tell us what’s going on? You’re on FB but nowhere else and you require acceptance of cookies and mail chimp so I can contact you? 1/2

Congrats #Belgium! I’m boycotting the WC b/c FIFA allowed my shithole country to host it. I’m glad you won but if your players (or from any other country) had any integrity they’d of never come here. Just sayin’.

I found these facts fun: the U.S. is 320 times the size of Belgium, which is a bit smaller than the state of Maryland, or about the same size as greater Los Angeles. Even outrageous cheating by the host nation couldn't stop Belgium thrashing the U.S. in the World Cup Quarter Finals...

I agree 👍🏼 Do you? #BookSky

Belgium sent the US team a simple humiliating brutal message after savagely defeating them at the World Cup: “Overturn this.” 👊🔥👏

Norway will always be the GOAT of the energy transition. Instead of talking about the future, they proved it could be done & showed how. In 15 years, new car sales went from 0% to 99% electric, while the rest of the world kept arguing about timing and speed. #Bettrification #EV

📌”The problem isn’t that a guy like Platner was running in Maine, the problem is that a guy like Chuck Schumer is running the Democratic Senate.”

Challenge Airlines illegally transported “military aircraft parts” through Irish territory to Israel last night. The Irish government has refused to act since The Ditch first reported on the airline’s illegal munitions trafficking almost two years ago. www.ontheditch.com/airline-ille...

The idea that Platner and his scumbag consultants would try to place demands and conditions on him dropping out at this point is a joke. I hope he plans on moving out of the state if that’s the case. Shut the fuck up, get out, and go away. Now.

National Security Journal: Ukraine just hit the ‘holy grail’ of Russian oil targets: Drones torched Putin’s biggest refinery deep in Siberia, 1,550 miles away. It seems Zelenskyy had some cards to play after all. 🔥 #ProudBlue #Pinks #SheShed

Mamdani on Platner: "I believe it's time for him to drop out of the race"

Evergreen post: He could be impeached tonight and convicted at trial in a few weeks and removed from office immediately thereafter if about 20 people in DC decided to put country over party for the first time in their miserable, self-dealing lives

JUST IN: Over 1,200 former DOJ employees just signed a letter urging the Senate to REJECT Todd Blanche's nomination for Attorney General.
