The most embarassing part of watching Americans watch the World Cup is the racism.
How can you possibly be shocked that Black people exist in countries outside of Africa and the USA????
You know that France is right across the sea from Algeria, right? And that Africa is 90 miles from Italy? And only 10 miles from Spain? And that people have been migrating all across the Mediterranean for thousands of years, right????
BREAKING: Rep. Ted Lieu is publicly calling on the White House to answer growing questions surrounding reports that an unidentified 79-year-old man received exclusive access to a powerful experimental drug through the FDA’s compassionate use program.
“The White House needs to come clean,” Lieu said. “Did Donald Trump get this special drug?”
Kerry: I was part of the any number of conversations with Netanyahu.
Psaki: Pitching the US strike Iran?
Kerry: Yes, he wanted us to strike. He came to president Obama. He made a presentation to ask to strike. President Obama refused. President Biden refused. President Bush refused. The only president who has agreed to this, obviously, is President Trump
BREAKING: BRAVO! James Talarico demolishes Ted Cruz for smearing him as not "masculine" enough to win in Texas by listing all of the things that "real men" never do.
And Cruz does every single one of them...
"Ted Cruz basically said he wouldn't use the word 'masculine' to describe you,'" Jen Psaki said to Talarico on MS NOW. "It seems pretty clear what they're trying to do here, at least to me. Not only are they going after you, but they're really trying to attack groups of people you've defended in the past, including trans people and others. What do you make of that?"
In addition to Cruz's pathetic smear, Trump's pet fascist Stephen Miller falsely asserted that Talarico is transgender. Other Republican influencers have implied that he's gay. The strategy here is clear: lean into culture war lies about Talarico rather than contest him on actual policy.
"Yeah, there's been a lot of talk in this race about what it means to be a real man," Talarico said to Psaki. "And recently on the campaign trail, I told the story of my adoptive dad, the man who gave me his last name, the man who raised me as his own."
"Every Saturday morning, Mark Talarico would mow our lawn, whether it was rain or shine, whether he wanted to or not, he insisted on mowing our lawn himself," he continued. "And then without anyone asking him to, he would go next door and mow our neighbor's lawn because our neighbor was elderly, she was a widow. And my dad never talked about it. He just did it."
"Because that's what a man does. A man takes responsibility," he said.
"A man upholds his commitments to his family and his neighbors."
"A man does what's right even when no one is watching."
"And here's what real men don't do... They don't lie and cheat their way through life," he went on. "They don't sell their soul to the highest bidder. They don't steal from other people in order to enrich themselves. And so I've said before, and I will keep saying, that real men serve others."
"Weak men serve themselves," he added. "And so I welcome this debate about what it means to be a man. And I don't think Ken Paxton or Ted Cruz are in a position to tell anybody what a real man is."
Someone should tell Ted Cruz that people in glass houses shouldn't throw stones. Donald Trump called his wife ugly during the 2016 Republican primary, only for Cruz to go on to become one of Trump's staunchest supporters. There is nothing "masculine" about selling out your own family in pursuit of power.
Similarly, Talarico's disgraced opponent Ken Paxton is the furthest thing from a good man. He was impeached as state attorney general by his own party for bribery, and his wife divorced him for adultery. If that's what a "real man" does, then we need a lot fewer "real men" in government.

Retired 4-Star Navy Admiral and former Navy SEAL William McRaven on Donald Trump: "Through your actions, you have embarrassed us in the eyes of our children, humiliated us on the world stage and, worst of all, divided us as a nation."

BREAKING: Rep. Ted Lieu humiliates MAGA U.S. Attorney Judge Jeanine for threatening to charge the nonexistent “vandals” dumping imaginary chemicals into the Reflecting Pool.
This is EXACTLY how you handle these lying lunatics…
“I guarantee that @JudgeJeanine will not charge anyone for dumping chemicals into the reflecting pool. Because if they had any evidence they would be parading it around 24/7,” Lieu wrote on X in response to a clip of Pirro ranting on Fox News.
“The reality is Trump screwed up the reflecting pool by overpaying on a no bid contract to an amateur,” he added.
The Lincoln Memorial Reflecting Pool has become a defining debacle for the Trump administration in recent weeks. The President boasted that he was going to beautify the pool while slamming Obama for failing to do so. Trump poured $14.7 million of your tax dollars into the project, only for the algae to bloom more vividly than ever before. The entire pool turned a sickly green color, at which point Trump’s minions began dumping hydrogen peroxide into the water, exacerbating the discoloration. Soon after, strips of blue lining began to flake and dislodge from the pool’s lining.
Rather than admit that he made a mistake by handing the renovation contracts to shady, incompetent firms — including one operated by a convicted felon — Trump has begun insisting that "sick" and "deranged" vandals are to blame. Pirro has eagerly embraced the insane narrative.
"Anyone who is in a position of vandalizing or attempting to vandalize will face the criminal justice system in D.C.," she said. “Look, the president has made it a priority to make D.C. not only safe, but beautiful.”
Obviously, nobody is vandalizing the pool. Trump and Pirro know that, but they also know that the Republican base is gullible enough to believe anything that Trump says. They bought his lies about the 2020 election without a shred of evidence and now they’re eagerly gobbling up this Reflecting Pool propaganda.
Our best recourse is do what Congressman Lieu is doing: call them out at every turn. Republicans won’t listen to us, but the Independents who decide elections will!

Rosie O’Donnell on Trump / Epstein: “When it gets released, he will be put in prison along with all the other men who have not been charged in the gross rape and torture of young girls and boys. He thinks he can get away with the fact that he went there 300 something times. People didn’t believe priests could be pedophiles. A president, that couldn’t be true. It’s true. There’s evidence and survivors. He’s trying to hide it so he doesn’t have to go to jail. Those are the facts whether you like them or not”
