Soccer would not exist without immigrants. Immigrants play and coach the game, work in the stadiums, fill the stands, and make celebrations like the World Cup possible. Six of the players on the US Men's National Team are immigrants.
We will not allow ICE or anyone else to sow fear in our communities — especially at this moment. As the world comes to our city, we will stand proudly with our immigrant neighbors and reject these attacks for what they are: an attempt to divide us.
Election denier Kurt Olsen has been appointed to a top DOJ position where he will lead a "grand conspiracy" investigation into Trump's political enemies.
First Albania, now Italy!
There is a nationwide general strike across 75 cities in Italy demanding a complete boycott of Israel. There is suspension of transport and schools have paused as thousands marched for Palestine.
Unions and citizens are united to demand an end to genocide and show support for Palestinian rights.
When will Americans follow suit?
OMG -- Fox News carries Raskin's opening statement during a hearing where he highlights the fraud that was Trump University and contrasts it with the SPLC
Trump said something outside a press gaggle that I don’t think enough people caught.
A reporter called him out on the corruption. He gave three responses.
1. I have the right to do it.
2. He’s not stealing that much. A billion or two billion dollars. Not that much money. Classic Trump.
3. People don’t care.
That’s the permission structure. Our collective apathy is what they’re using to justify everything happening in Washington right now.
Please stand up and prove him wrong.
"Sarah Stevens is abandoning her constituents so that she can raise dirty money from lobbyists and avoid accountability for her failure to fund education and public safety. For months, she has ducked questions about having known child predator Harvey West host a major fundraiser for her campaign. This is a trend. Stevens has proven that she will always put dirty money and her political aspirations above the people of North Carolina,” said NCDP Chair @abreezeclayton.
🚨𝐉𝐔𝐒𝐓 𝐈𝐍: Roman Molina provides a fresh update on Somali referee Omar Arteh;
🗣️ “Omar obtained a diplomatic passport and traveled directly, only to be stopped, questioned, and so on. They took his phone and tablet from him and haven't returned them to him yet, and he was deported from U.S. soil on a flight headed to Turkey.”
“FIFA issued a statement afterward saying ‘we cannot intervene in countries' immigration procedures,’ but in reality, FIFA did intervene in immigration procedures during the last World Cup in Qatar. But it seems like everything is measured with two different standards.”
“FIFA knows that the U.S. administration does whatever it wants, so we could have imagined they'd say to themselves: ‘Alright, let's play it safe and assign him to officiate matches in Mexico or Canada.’ But no, because FIFA is ruled by sheer incompetence.” 👀🥲
Pete Hegseth went to Normandy France and made some Nazi ass anti-immigration speech and then proceeded to get kicked out of the country - being told never to come back.
Your grandfathers are rolling in their graves rn. This isn't what they fought and died for at all. He desecrated the memory of every soldier who fought, and who fell in Normandy. Fuck Pete Hegseth.
Ranchers, the GOP let this happen. They voted to let DOGE and Trump eradicate funding for screwworm monitoring programs. Now, screwworm is here and cases are rising by the day.
DC, we've arrived... along with all 3.5 million pages of the publicly-released Epstein Files.
The DC Reading Room opens today.

Let's be precise about what Bill Pulte actually did.
In December 2023, Pulte organized an event at a Florida hangar for investors in a company that had already gone bankrupt. They paid $500 each believing he had secret knowledge about how to recover their money. He arrived in a helicopter that had taken off from the same airfield, circled overhead, and landed again for dramatic effect. Attendees signed away their shareholder rights to one of Pulte's associates as a condition of getting a single share of Pulte Homes in their ticket package. They got cases of Coors Light, bottled water, and a promoter slapping a supporter in the face with a green dildo.
The bankrupt company did not resurrect. Nobody got their money back.
This is the man now nominated as acting Director of National Intelligence. Not a reformed con artist. Not someone who made one bad call. Someone whose documented record across memestock promotion, a failed 50-year mortgage proposal, and opposition research that went nowhere is a consistent pattern: say what the audience wants to hear, perform confidence, collect the reward, and move to the next room.
The intelligence community employs roughly 100,000 people and holds the country's most sensitive secrets. Indiana families have kids in that workforce. The people who rely on accurate threat assessment to make decisions about American safety deserve someone whose qualifications extend beyond getting a retweet from Trump and buying a Mar-a-Lago membership.
The Trump administration has killed a federal criminal investigation into GOP Sen. Jim Justice's coal companies.
Justice had allegedly violated the Clean Water Act tens of thousands of times.
Mr. Blanche is responsible for the Administration’s handling of the Epstein case and continued cover up.
This is the same man who put together Trump’s anti-weaponization slush fund and bogus IRS settlement.
This is the same man who represented Trump as personal counsel when he was charges with stealing classified U.S. documents, interfering in the 2020 election, and committing election fraud with illegal hush money payments.
He’s had many jobs working for Trump, but clearly the public trust required to serve as AG cannot be one of them.
Brad Paisley urges his followers to sign a petition to stop the construction of a 69,000-square-foot data center that would be 50 yards from the Nashville Zoo, which he called “an absolute nightmare scenario” in an Instagram Reel. https://t.co/EmxKUw5oav
Lieu: The president is not well. He has tremendous difficulty staying awake on the job. He has repeatedly fallen asleep at Cabinet meetings, at White House events, at a Memorial Day ceremony, and most recently at a very loud NBA game last night.
The White House needs to explain why Donald Trump keeps going to the hospital and taking cognitive tests.
Trump is stacking the government with loyalists.
As acting Attorney General, Todd Blanche already gave Trump and his family a lifetime pass to commit tax crimes.
Imagine what he'll do with the full job.
Where the hell is Congress?
