@216roots @USA_Polling Jordan already has a leadership role as chair of judiciary. Plus you need a freedom caucus person or adjacent to hold the nationalist coalition together, and JD has lost too much street cred being a lap dog.

this is getting ridiculous

@trvecharlie I’d love to see a Harry Potter miniseries with true geezers instead of posh actors. He’s 100% Hagrid.

[Highline171 @Highline171]

@greg16676935420 I agree. It’s not weird that the White House would appeal, but I don’t think many presidents would have a good enough relation with the fifa president and willing to press the issue. Most would file and leave it at that.

The way our cities have forced our libraries to become the default distribution channel for social services is a total disaster.

The library is a place of learning for our community and our children. Not a shelter.

I am rarely a person that would say “don’t go there, it’s too dangerous”, but I have literally told my wife not to take our baby girl to the downtown library. Our $125M, award-winning library. It’s a damn shame.

We’ve not only failed our children, but we’ve also failed our homeless neighbors by failing to build the mental institutions that they so desperately need. Instead, we leave them to have psychiatric episodes in front of innocent children or arguably worse, let them literally rot on the street. Our librarians should be in the stacks organizing books and leading story-time, not on the frontline doing untrained social-work.

I’m always thinking about how we can communicate public failures like this to other liberals. The large majority of liberal voters agree that this situation and others like it are unacceptable, but balk at the way that it’s presented. The disaster porn of trashed encampments, or exposés like this one feel brash or uncouth. Low brow. Reactionary. But on the other hand, it’s visceral and uncomfortable. It’s hard to look away.

How do we communicate something like this in a way that appeals to urban liberals without making them feel like they’re being insensitive to the plight of our sickest and poorest neighbors?

This is a question we have to answer if we want to solve public disorder in our cities.

🚨🗣️ José Mourinho on the VAR double standard between Lionel Messi and Folarin Balogun:

"When I speak about the system, people call me crazy. They say Mourinho is always complaining. But today, the whole world saw the script with their own eyes.
Folarin Balogun makes an accidental step, a completely natural movement of a striker fighting for the ball, and VAR calls the referee like a crime has been committed. A straight red card. He misses the biggest game of his life.

But when the poster boy of FIFA, Lionel Messi, puts his studs into the calf of an opponent, the VAR room suddenly loses their internet connection. The referee goes blind. It is a completely different rulebook. If Balogun's name was Folarin Messi, he would not have even received a warning. It is not about the severity of the foul anymore; it is entirely about the name printed on the back of the shirt. It is a disgrace."

[Highline171 @Highline171]

@PhiliddleSticks @Smallball303 The rules deem VAR for those types of fouls must be played in full speed upon review and the player must lunge. Balogun collided shoulder to shoulder with the dude and was knocked off balance and fell. Inconsistent and horrific application of dangerous play.

[Washington Capitals @Capitals]

IT'S SO NOT O-VER, BABES‼️

The Washington Capitals have re-signed captain Alex Ovechkin to a one-year contract extension. Ovechkin’s contract will carry an average annual value of $4.25 million.

@30GotNext Because we have no quality at backup striker, berhalter can be a solid replacement for Pulisic

[Cason Wallace Enjoyer @CasonWenjoyer]

Leading scorer suspended next game

[Highline171 @Highline171]

@1legflamingo Reading the rule standards, VAR should only be played in full speed for this type of foul, and the player has to “lunge” at the opponent.

I see a player who made an attempt for the ball and during the course lost his balance with body to body contact and he just landed funny.

[ESPN @espn]

"VAR made their recommendation to the referee based on slow-motion and still replays, which is not aligned with VAR protocols."

@andydaviesref believes VAR made the incorrect decision on Folarin Balogun's red card.
