NY remembers game 3. Yeah. Trump did this.

USA was a great story in this Wold Cup. Trump? What a loser.

Ban Trump from any further sporting event that matter. He is a plague on our sports teams.

Right now in a Fox News greenroom, three panelists on the next episode of ‘The Five’ are preparing to fight to the death for who gets to do the “we would have won if the game hadn’t been in a woke socialist city” take

Welp, it was a good run.

I am calling on the USMNT to finish this frustrating loss in true Seahawks fashion: by starting a fight with the other team

On Platner: “The political consequence is that, very much despite themselves, Democrats will likely get a much better chance to oust Collins — and a much clearer path toward recapturing a Senate majority.” www.bloomberg.com/opinion/arti...

More people know who Troy Jackson is in after the last two hours than knew who Julie Gonzales was when she came after the whole campaign where she came within 6% of ousting Senator Hickenlooper.

Have the caught the vandal who wrecked the US men's soccer team?

update: we are going to need more sage

#mondaymotivation I'd like to share something with you that might help with some challenges you may have gone or are going through. The revelatory lesson I was able to learn in the last few years was this… 1/9

Well hell. He already did: "If they beat us, then they can be really proud. The other way, if they beat us, I'll say it was rigged, just like the election was rigged in 2020, but I won't get into that."

Not a soccer expert. But was that as inexcusable a fuck by the USA goalie as it looked like?

Knicks were down 29 points. Two points feels manageable. Comparatively. Hang on, need some more glue

Welp. It was a good run.

what the hell was that

Anyone taking bets on whether Trump declares the refs rigged the game as revenge for Balogun's reinstatement if the US loses?

Maine’s Dem nominee for governor, Hannah Pingree, says Platner should drop out. Also posts: “Platner tapped into something real — voters hungry for change showed up with real passion and energy. That energy doesn't have to go away. It needs a new candidate to carry it forward.”

i’m assembling a team to fix the bad vibes in seattle does anyone out there have the personal cell phone numbers of timothee chalamet, mariska hargitay, or the wu-tang clan? we will also need a private jet and some sage. lmk, thanks!!

ALERT Court sets hearing for THURSDAY in newly-filed criminal case vs David Hearn, the former Olympian charged w/ felony damage of Reflecting Pool It's in local DC Superior Court Case has been assigned to judge Renee Raymond, a former longtime public defender here in DC

(WSJ) - Iran’s Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps fired missiles at two commercial ships near the Strait of Hormuz early Tuesday, according to a senior U.S. official, marking an escalation that threatens to complicate negotiations to end the U.S.-Iran war. www.wsj.com/world/middle...

Badass of the ref to keep his Marlboros rolled in his shirt sleeve.

The American attackers need to stop with the stupid fancy footwork and just go in for a crosser. Stop trying to out duel the defender every time.

We’re making basic ball control mistakes

this is knicks game 3 all over again isn’t it the trump curse lives!

That was very rude on Belgium’s part

Against one of the best goalkeepers in the world!!!

The empire strikes back

Total MSG Game 3 vibes here, everything I feared

It's been ... a week/year or three. www.facebook.com/jill.lawrenc...

it can still be 0-0 if infantino has the courage

Unfortunately the sun just went supernova so we only have about 8 minutes to score here if we want to advance

Platner aide lists terms for dropping out: “If he was to step down it would only be with a guarantee of being replaced by a candidate who he believes is true to the values and vision and policy agenda of the campaign that Maine voted for." @shanegoldmacher.bsky.social www.nytimes.com/live/2026/07...

Jordyn Abrams of GWU's Program on Extremism examines how apocalyptic AI rhetoric from tech executives may be fueling a rise in anti-tech violence — and argues for sober, fact-based discourse instead.

If you read just a few comments on any article about Graham Platner it should become crystal clear why victims don’t come forward earlier. The level of cruelty people direct at victims is gutting

If Folarin Balogun scores a goal within 10 minutes of a “BREAKING: Mitch McConnell dead at 84” push alert hitting people’s phones, Neil Gorsuch gets kicked off the Supreme Court. Those are just the rules.

There is no way a Toy Story is better than Hoppers, the best Pixar film

Some of the same guys who act like there’s an unexplainable gender war going on are simultaneously the ones trying to equate masculinity with being sexually abusive to women. Gee I wonder what could be causing tension

What would you think if the leader of a powerful country picked on an ethnic group, calling them “garbage,” saying “they’re all crooks” and suggesting their kids were a threat to society? You’d think the ethnic group was in danger of persecution and even physical harm, right? A short thread. 1/🧵🧵🧵

Susan Collins concern level: Gleeful

Extremism and misogyny are intertwined. The white nationalists who attacked Charlottesville had long histories of sexual assault and domestic violence. It’s sadly not shocking that there are credible allegations against Platner — and it’s vital progressives have zero tolerance for it.

creeping anti-semitism, all the same old canards

The Platner industrial complex has a lot of explaining to do.

The Patriot Front's usage of masks to shield their identities in DC on July 4 served dual purposes, per former DC police offer Michael Fanone 1) It adds to the impact of menacing 2) It shields the Front members from being identified and fired from their jobs

UPDATE: The FTC filed its opposition in DC — storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.us... — to WPATH's argument that the FTC is seeking to get around the DC fed court's jurisdiction in an existing case through its filing of a new case in NDTex. WPATH is seeking an order stopping that NDTex litigation.

All I’m saying is, while not foolproof, a good way to not elect sexual predators is to stop electing men.

Dam Breaks As Elected Dems Withdraw Support, Urge Platner to Drop Out of Maine Senate Race talkingpointsmemo.com/news/elected...

wow the new logo sucks

As have the Maine Democratic Party, and Ruben Gallego, notable in that he endorsed Platner before Mills dropped out.

DOGE finally collapses…. in what its critics consider a pile of wreckage Just filed ===> youtu.be/rSDNoag1V5o?...

Don’t be surprised if we attack Cuba before the November election

Really dude? Really???

Planter would make a fine Republican presidential candidate

*SCHUMER, GILLIBRAND CALL ON PLATNER TO WITHDRAW FROM RACE; DSCC CUTS OFF FUNDING

This is nuts: ABC News regurgitates the White House’s talking points on the Smithsonian. In effect, the Trump regime has accused the Smithsonian of being too multicultural. The “report” criticizes, e.g., the Smithsonian’s portrayal of immigrant and LGBTQ+ rights. No reason to side with bigots.

If you know how to get this fucking Dropbox pop-up to go away even after I have deactivated my paid account and deleted the Mac OS app, please tell me, I beg you

Kalshi odds of Dems beating Susan Collins have .... risen to 62% today. Bettors apparently betting he will drop out by next Monday and replaced by someone more electable.

What a grotesque vulgarian. It just makes you cringe.

We need a new word to describe Trump. Creep, crook, pervert, predator, fraudster, grifter, bigot, moron, sleazebag, schmuck, felon, groper, half-wit, deviant, scum, loser, molester, turd, cretin, madman, wanker, tosser, lowlife, zit, vulgarian, scuzzball and asswipe don't seem like enough.

I can't believe we still have to remind people of these things but: most rape victims don't file police reports. (You're reading one right now.) Shock, denial, need to appease the rapist, nominally friendly behavior toward the rapist, etc. are all common reactions

What if I told you about this thing called ... wait for it ... a library, where you could read books (online and hard-copy) for free...

Just realized I don't know what day it is, apparently. The opinion workshop is Wednesday morning! (I usually do them on Tuesday afternoons, but wanted to add a time that might work better for people in EU time zones.) The August one is on a Tuesday afternoon, though.

Anyone who's listened (as I have) to Kevin's "White Flight," about the straight line from southern segregationists to today's GOP, or Joanne's "The Field of Blood" about members of Congress beating each other to a pulp, often over slavery, knows how absurd this argument is

Bluesky was right about Platner.

Let it be known that antifa is not an official organization. Most descriptions agree that, at best, it can be characterized as a decentralized, ideological movement that sympathizes with leftist causes.

As Maine goes, so goes Platner...literally

So looking forward to being back in the YAY AREA for this @cwclub.bsky.social conversation with @benwikler.bsky.social! Join us on July 8th!!!!

*Maine Democratic Party calls on Platner to quit the race

Yeah, I thought that this was implied what with me being Law Dork and all, but if you don’t care about the law, no, you probably don’t want to follow me.

I’ve joked about a congressional injury report in the past, but it’s getting to the point that Congress should consider creating some kind of chief medical officer post that can verify members’ health when they’re absent.

I just learned that there is a state representative in Connecticut who has been in office since 1984 and has only faced a primary challenger once since then. www.ctinsider.com/connecticut/...

Oh there’s an outpouring

“Infantino defends FIFA’s integrity” has as much validity as “Dahmer touts vegetarian recipes.”

A source that has been directly in contact with my team has told us that Senator Mitch McConnell has been unconscious in the hospital for the last 3 weeks, and this has been kept a secret. www.youtube.com/watch?v=RM2S...

Maine Democratic Senate nominee for U.S. Senate Folarin Balogun

In case you needed another reminder on why birthright citizenship makes this country great, we present you Folarin Balogun highlights.

there are ways to handle disputed calls. a call from the president isn’t one of them. @gzeromedia.com

We are about to see whether Graham Platner will do what's good for Maine and the country by dropping out and giving Maine Democrats time to put on the ballot someone who can beat Susan Collins.

“Thanks to the Slaughter decision, the feckless Federal Election Commission, which is the regulatory authority, is even more feckless—and can be weaponized by Trump to harass and crimp Democrats while giving a free hand to Republicans.”

Baseless criminal prosecutions are the hallmark of Blanche's DOJ—together w/ slavish servitude to Trump That's why @democracydefendersfund.org & 100+ bipartisan fmr. judges filed an ethics complaint against him You expect this from a dictatorship, not the USA @onthelinemsnow.bsky.social -TN

Re: Graham Platner, I felt like I was being punked when people acted like he wasn’t obviously dishonest and untrustworthy this entire time. Starting with the unbelievable defense of his tattoo, which I was shocked to see people fall for

Sad Ronaldo = happy Brad

One thing Nigel Farage hates more than ethnic minorities is facing accountability for his own actions.

Mexico-England was clearly the game of the tournament

Barenaked Ladies release their “Stunt” LP 28 years ago today. It featured the hit single “One Week” — which, poetically, spent one week at #1. Ed Robertson later joked: “Maybe I should have called it ‘58 Weeks.’” 🎸

Let's check in with the Platner campaign team:
