Jaylen Brown is the real winner here.

Reporter: Isn’t there concern that this slippery slope to socialism inevitably ends up as full-blown communism?

AOC: I mean, no. I think that’s very silly. We can’t even raise the minimum wage. Do they really think communism is going to happen? No. They’re trying to scare people because they don’t want us talking about the fact that we all have a right to health care.

So they want to call everything they don’t like communist because if people actually wake up to the fact that their elected officials are screwing them over when they get here, they’re going to realize they deserve better and that health care as a right isn’t crazy. They want to call this stuff communist because they don’t want us to realize that the rest of the developed world has guaranteed health care. They want to call it communist because they don’t want you to know that Germany, Italy, the UK, Canada—everybody else—has it better than us, and we spend the most money for the worst care in the developed world.

PabloReports: What do you make of Pete Hegseth refusing to promote qualified women of color?

AOC: He’s an unqualified man in his role, so of course he’s threatened by women who are twice as good as he is.

Every time I pay $400 for groceries, I just have to remind myself to be grateful for the new White House ballroom and the war in Iran

Any food company that bribed this administration to cut regulations that sickened Americans should be sued into the ground and the CEO put in prison.

[Chris Webb @Chris_Webb1]

Before #FIFA start pumping the propaganda tonight and telling us all how amazing this #WorldCup has been, let’s remember they oversaw:

- highest ticket prices ever and took a cut from resale sites.

- did nothing about Somalian referee and dozens of staff who were banned from entering the US for no legitimate reason.

- stood by as Iran were forced to train outside the US and travel in on match days.

- overturned red cards after phone calls with the president.

- Americanised the beautiful game with hydration (TV) breaks and 25 mins half time in the final

- guided Argentina through the tournament with less travel, VAR support and blatantly turning a blind due to their aggression and foul play.

So let me get this straight. Taylor Farms lettuce gets linked to the cyclospora outbreak. The CEO visits the White House and donates to Trump. Then the FDA says the positive finding was a “false positive.”

Nothing suspicious about that at all.

Lying about Mitch McConnell’s death to avoid a special election is election fraud.

[QUEEN B † @JayyyRosee]

Bruh this is the longest half time ever

[QUEEN B † @JayyyRosee]

Are we a fuckin monarchy?!

[Nancy Mace @NancyMace]

I wholeheartedly support the President in his recommendation. What a wonderful idea!

[James Tate @JamesTate121]

I think women should decide what to do with Mitch McConnell's body since he decided what to do with theirs.

Jaylen Brown says 60% of NBA players lose most of their wealth because the agency model broken

“I hope I ruffle all the motherfucking feathers. The agency model isn't working. It's a bunch of players going broke when they retire. It's like 60% of players within the first 10 years are losing majority of their wealth after making millions of dollars. Living check to check. You can blame the athlete, maybe they living expenses, but they was 18 or 19 when they came into wealth and the people that represented them didn't help them handle that in no capacity or care to. After they get you and they get in your pocket, they just go get the next one and get in his pocket”

“This is what I'mma stand on. And this could be controversial, but I don't care. If you can't help me at 18 or 19 to maintain my wealth, build a legacy, and keep what I'm earning and be able to influence me on my decision making, you shouldn't be representing me in the first place. Shouldn't even be allowed to walk into my house. But we allow this agency model. They keep coming in and they keep stripping everything and we giving it right back to the same people that was giving it to us in the first place. Giving it right back”

“Something got to change. There's been people taking advantage of these 18, 19 young kids, and nobody says nothing. I think that's a part of the problem where we don't say that and we just allow that to be normalized. No, that shit ain't normal. You get millions of dollars and now you broke. And the people that's representing you can't even pick up the phone now. These people have continued to do that and they're gonna continue to do it because they see it as business and economic opportunity”

Taco Bell has removed lettuce, guacamole, pico de gallo, and onion from several locations to prevent spreading the diarrhea parasite Cyclospora.

Taco Bell is leading the way on preventing diarrhea.

Taco. Bell.

The day US soccer players stop needing to have an average household income of 300k a year to have youth development is the day we start competing for a cup

[Maine @mainey_maine]

The talent discrepancy is pretty large dawg. Once again like U.S. soccer federation gotta stop treating soccer like a rich white person sport

[Hannah Cox @HannahDCox]

This Mitch McConnell situation is CRAZY.

I've been waiting for confirmation on the situation but his camp is keeping details locked down. So here's what we know:

1. He's been hospitalized for some time.

2. His highly connected Chinese wife left the country for high level meetings with the CCP after his medical emergency happened.

3. No one knows if he's conscious, with some rumors beginning to circulate that he's brain dead and on life support.

4. There's already an election to replace him happening this Fall, but Kentucky law calls for a special election for senators unable to complete their terms vs. a governor appointee. So if he is incapacitated, someone else likely would be elected to finish out his term through January. Speculators are suggesting the party doesn't want to deal with that process and is thus keeping his condition quiet.

This is just the latest in a string of incidents where congressional leaders have disappeared and it's inexcusable. We need age limits immediately - having people this old and unhealthy in power is a national security threat.

[Christina Henderson @chenderson]

Until we address the fact most talented soccer players in the US can’t afford to compete because club and travel teams have snuffed rec/school ball out, this is probably going to keep happening. #WorldCup

It’s the ultimate irony that Trump was just in court to stop people like Falorin Balogun from becoming birthright citizens in the first place
