America is an occupied country. Why the hell would any senator vote against finding out how Americans were killed abroad?

The country's most humid place is in... California?!

Tropical humidity has invaded San Diego and Los Angeles, but according to NOAA's RRFS model, the most humid place in the U.S. this week will be near the Salton Sea in Southern California — with dew points well into the 80s!

Imagine losing your family’s generational cattle farm because a bud light commercial upset you and also you didn’t like how many Mexicans were at Home Depot once

Disneyland is turning its attention back to Walt’s original park, with Tomorrowland now moving ahead of Avatar in Disney’s near-term plans.

Here's my deep dive on what we learned about Tomorrowland and the resort’s broader development timeline.

Not a single pedo from the Epstein list has been charged, but the police will show out in full force for an unarmed student who said brown kids shouldn't be killed

Seeing one of gods most majestic and divine creatures, fight so valiantly against the destruction and rampaging of his home should do untold psychic damage to your psyche. We should be radicalized by this.

The Interior Department has canceled a rule meant to protect plants and animals that are determined to be threatened with extinction, the latest step by the Trump administration to dismantle key provisions of the landmark Endangered Species Act at the behest of industry. https://t.co/mXxrdQgPW6

In Germany, a talented 14-year-old earns his club money. In America, his parents pay the club $15,000 a year.

That single inversion explains why "we will not" is the most accurate line ever written about US soccer.

FIFA built a global system for this. Training compensation and solidarity payments send a cut of every transfer fee back to the clubs that developed the player, from age 12 onward. Develop one future pro and your academy gets paid for a decade. Barcelona's La Masia, Ajax, every Bundesliga academy runs on this logic. The kid is the asset.

US Soccer refuses to enforce those rules. When Seattle's Crossfire Premier claimed its $60,000 share of DeAndre Yedlin's transfer to Tottenham, it got nothing. Claims on the Dempsey and Bradley transfers died partly because the federation couldn't even produce the youth training records.

So American clubs earn zero dollars when a kid turns pro. They earn when a kid enrolls. Which makes the parent the customer, and the product is whatever keeps the parent writing checks: travel tournaments, hotel weekends, $500 showcase events, private training at $100 an hour. Elite pathways run $8,000 to $20,000 a year. A comparable academy spot in Italy costs about 120 euros.

Follow the incentive one level deeper and it gets darker. A club dependent on fees can't cut its weakest paying players, so rosters optimize for retention over development. The scouting pool shrinks to families who can afford the cliff, which appears around age 11, exactly when development matters most. The country runs a talent filter sorted by household income instead of ability.

Every four years someone proposes fixing this. The proposal always requires the people profiting from the $15,000 model to vote themselves out of business.

They will not.
