maybe if England hadn't Brexited the attacking third of the pitch things would have turned out better

Spain, our lonely eyes look to you to beat Argentina. Vamos.

Here's hoping Spain beats the brakes off Argentina

Obviously, there are other big stories around today. But, as far as I can make out, the Indy is the only paper that splashes this morning on the Covid Inquiry's tale of billions wasted. Can only imagine the field-day the right-wing press would have had had it happened under a different government.

After a cost of more than $1 billion, the Everglades concentration camp has been removed from the airstrip where it once stood.

It's bad when you think, hmn, the heatwave in Europe might be better than coming back home to explosive diarrhea ,innocent people being shot in the streets and general mayhem.

This is a tragic story but the underlying "choosing obedience to metaphysical abstractions over concrete relations with people" hit way too close to home for me bc this is one reason I no longer communicate w my mom. magazine.atavist.com/2026/pilands...

"Another yelled at the little girl, who was trying to smell flowers."

there are basically like a dozen senators that anyone still talks about from 1789 to the present and i really don’t think graham will be in that number

graham choosing to put off medical care that likely would’ve saved his life because he was scheduled to be on meet the press in the morning is the most perfect encapsulation of his career one can imagine

Speaking of death, Trump's now worried he's next, and that it won't be from natural causes But the real risk is to all of us, as paranoia causes him to widen the war and crush civil liberties, including a shocking probe of the NYT Caligula, DJT, and my new column www.inquirer.com/opinion/trum...

A few words on the passing of South Carolina Sen. Lindsay Graham, who spent the last ten years of his life eagerly helping Donald Trump in his quest to destroy American democracy. youtu.be/z4HMequIiiY

Lorenzo Salgado Araujo was murdered by ICE. His three sons called him “El mundo entero” — the whole world. They watched as their whole world died in a video posted on Facebook. Lorenzo was our neighbor and fellow Texan. He deserves justice.

Sharing a gift link to this because I know when I was caretaking my mom every ounce of validation that I was doing something emotionally, physically, professionally and financially impossible helped me feel less alone

You earn how you’re spoken of in death by what you do in life.

Group chats are LIT right now

To be a historian is to speak ill of the dead and the rest of you should take more history classes and join us.

This isn't an attempt to drag the man. Everyone I've known in South Carolina treated his homosexuality like a widely-shared fact, while the national press largely looked the other way. I'm legitimately curious if it breaks through or if the national press keeps ignoring the elephant in the room.

Are the obituaries going to go with euphemisms like "confirmed bachelor" or are they finally going to speak out loud about one of the worst-concealed closet cases in American political history?

Lindsey Graham comes to a realization at the end of his 20-minute conversation with Mitch McConnell.

Lindsey Graham won't see you calling him a spineless ass-kisser who sold his soul to a con man, but all the other Republicans will.

...was the conversation the cause?

Got up to write my column this morning and the Captain Obvious move would have been to shift gears and write something stunningly insightful about Lindsey Graham But honestly, the man isn't worth eight hours of my precious time. I'll probably write two sentences in Tuesday's newsletter

Holy crap Lindsey Graham died on July 11, the same day in 2015 that he first called Trump a demagogue who was going to ruin the party. Trump mastered Graham first, on his way to mastering the nation.

She obviously is a good sleeper, unlike the rest of us who sleep in two hour snippets and look at our phones during bathroom break

wait WHAT

If you're going to fire off jokes, I need you all to rise to the level of the Irish when Queen Liz died. That was epic.

His role in trying to steal the 2024 election deserves to live in infamy

Today is another test that will winnow out the true posters from the people who end up getting contacted by the Justice Department.

He's been upstaged. Just go ahead on and tell the truth

Get ready for the parade of politicians and media figures telling us a lying fascist warmonger was a wonderful human being.

Second shift ....what y'all got?

Gonna be crazy here when everyone else wakes up

who preaches this funeral? wrong answers only

In South Carolina, Democrat @drannieandrews.com will face whomever the GOP puts on the ballot in Graham’s place

Graham was supposed to go on Meet the Press tomorrow morning

My understanding of what is next is that: (1) GOP Governor Henry McMaster will appoint Graham's replacement. (2) Graham's seat was already up for election this year, & he had secured the GOP nomination. This suggests there may have to be a special primary election: law.justia.com/codes/south-...

Breaking News: Lindsey Graham, the prominent Republican senator from South Carolina died after a “brief and sudden illness,” his office said. He was 71.

Lindsey Graham is having a 20-minute conversation right now with Mitch McConnell

the collective sighs from conservative writers forcing outrage at the left on lindsey graham’s behalf are going to create entirely new weather systems

Meanwhile...

Often these days, the death of a Senator is mostly about their vote. Lindsey Graham's support for Ukraine and intense advocacy for war with Iran means his sudden death could have an impact on policy, too.
