For those whose objection to soccer is the lack of scoring, the USA beat Paraguay 28-7.

[Andrew Thomas @AThomasKC]

@realBrandonGill Temporary is probably the most obvious answer here...

DOGE didn't make a dent in the deficit, but it did bring back screwworm and enable a historically large new Ebola outbreak, so it's not like they didn't achieve *anything*

I know it’s become pretty cliche and cringey to talk about at this point but if you’re under like 25 I cannot stress enough how one time Obama wore a tan suit and people spent a week arguing over whether or not it was demeaning to the Oval Office and they were serious about it.

Did I understand a single word of it?
I did not.

Was it a vibe?
It was.

Bad Bunny’s America is dope AF. 👏 👏

@TJDMCR Would you be more impressed with him as a QB if they ran the ball exclusively in all these red zone opportunities?

How did they get to the red zone?

Do you watch the games?

So many questions 🤔

[trey wingo @wingoz]

The team with the most TDs called back last season because of penalties? The Chiefs. The team with the most TD drives extended because of penalties last season? Buffalo. Just stop

[Larry Levitt @larry_levitt]

This is a remarkable statistic: 18.7 million out of the 24.3 million Obamacare enrollees are in states won by President Trump in 2024.

@atrupar Is there a better use of taxpayer money than literally saving lives? 🤔

[Derek Thompson @DKThomp]

What do we want? Restore US manufacturing!

How we gonna do it? Force a shrinking US manufacturing industry to pay import taxes to the feds, and then re-route the money to soy farmers!

@ChuckFBass Swap in Mahomes and this is nearly an actual #chiefs Superbowl lineup 🤔

[Derek Thompson @DKThomp]

I understand why eye for an eye logic is satisfying for Republicans, but the full picture of what’s happening here is:

1. Trump doesn’t care about the law
2. and, relatedly, broke the law
3. and, relatedly, promoted a culture of law breaking in his admin
4. and now is demanding in open that the DOJ target and punish anybody who acted on points 1-3
5. and is using the fact that he was tried and convicted for crimes as justification for politicizing the DOJ to throw his opponents in jail

The principle that’s being promoted here is something like: The presidents who break the law the most have the highest moral claim to punish their enemies with lawfare.

And that’s bad.

Poof. No more inflation 🎉

a few days ago brian kilmeade said homeless people should be executed. jesse waters accused the left of trying to start a civil war. fox news spent years telling verifiable lies about dominion and the 2020 election.

canceling jimmy kimmel isn’t about an offensive line in a monologue. it’s about wielding state power to silence political opposition.

[Arnold Schwarzenegger @Schwarzenegger]

My heart is with Charlie Kirk’s family, and with the United States.

Politics has become a disease in this country, and it’s deadly. But don’t listen to the pessimists who say there is no cure.

There is a cure. It is inside of us. We must find our better angels and walk back from the extremes. If we can’t agree on anything else, we must find agreement that we don’t solve our debates with violence.

This is a horrible tragedy. May it also be a moment for everyone to rediscover their humanity.

[Governor Gavin Newsom @CAgovernor]

We should all feel a deep sense of grief and outrage at the terrible violence that took place in Utah today. Charlie Kirk's murder is sick and reprehensible, and our thoughts are with his family, children, and loved ones.

I knew Charlie, and I admired his passion and commitment to debate. His senseless murder is a reminder of how important it is for all of us, across the political spectrum, to foster genuine discourse on issues that deeply affect us all without resorting to political violence.

The best way to honor Charlie's memory is to continue his work: engage with each other, across ideology, through spirited discourse. In a democracy, ideas are tested through words and good-faith debate — never through violence.

Honest disagreement makes us stronger; violence only drives us further apart and corrodes the values at the heart of this nation.

@TripleNetInvest Unpopular and incorrect

[Andrew Thomas @AThomasKC]

@FTFonFS1 @willcolon66 The disrespect is fuel. The more hate, the better they perform.

This happens every single year like clockwork.

[Marc Short @marctshort]

Our founders never intended for the executive branch to have unilateral authority to tax Americans without Congressional support. This is a good victory for taxpayers.
