FIFA awarding Donald Trump a "peace prize" is an insult to every supporter of the beautiful game who actually believes in justice and humanity.

As the US Open Men's Final is delayed due to security around Trump's attendance, a reminder that the tournament has been the site of two of the many sexual assault allegations against him over the years

Since 2018, the percentage of American boys who believe in gender equality has nosedived.

NEW: the victim of this beating has been identified as Narciso Barranco, a father of three U.S. Marines.

According to @KTLA, he was working as a landscaper when DHS officers grabbed him, took him to the ground, pepper sprayed him, and repeatedly punched him in the face.

The irony is that Zohran is everything the Dem Party has been looking for: young, authentic, good podcast hang, can reach young men...

But Dem mega-donors see his policies—rent freeze, taxing the rich—as a threat to their interests, so they’re gonna pull out all the stops.

NEW: We recently heard that the Trump administration was leaning on the government of Gambia to help Elon Musk. For weeks, we made phone calls, wrote letters and knocked on folks’ doors to try to confirm it. But we were stuck.

So @js_kaplan and I got on a plane to Banjul. 1/

Researchers estimate 219,000 people will die because of DOGE cuts, including 148,000 children. All to save the average American taxpayer $150. https://t.co/yIaDvukYaA

During last year's election cycle, I can't tell you how many people I heard say that Trump was not going to do what Trump repeatedly said he would. It was the strangest thing.

This is what 77M ppl voted for. And there will be no lessons learned here. There will be no great awakening where GOP voters realize they’ve been duped. Bc the unfortunate truth is the GOP has found a winning message that they can trot out election after election until the end of time. Which is: no matter how bad things are for you, we’re going to make sure we make things worse for *them*. The *them* being non white ppl, LGBT, poor people, women. Demographics that are already resented so all they have to do is tap into that resentment that’s already there. Everyday living expenses becoming more expensive for everyone is fine with them as long as they know ppl who they view as underneath them are being hit harder than theyre being hit. Anyone who still believes the fairy tale notion that America is a nation where we will unite and band together to lift the least fortunate amongst us up is being naive. That is not who we are. At all.

"Of course we say it's our land, the Torah says it. But [the Palestinians] don't believe in the Torah. So, that's the reason there is not peace."

Saying stuff like this out loud should be disqualifying.

Democrats need to take a page from the Kendrick Lamar school of winning

1. Make clear your visible hatred for your opponent
2. Attack your enemy and their friends
3. Bring up the crimes again and again
4. Collab with talented allies
5. Keep coming out with hits

[Peter Beinart @PeterBeinart]

And now the American politicians and American Jewish leaders who in the past indignantly denied that Israel was restricting humanitarian aid to Gaza will defend Israel's complete halt of humanitarian aid. This is what it means to have no moral red lines, to treat a state as a god.

[Dominik Hasek @hasek_dominik]

For more than 8 years we have known that the US president hates democratic regimes and adores dictators. We have known for a long time that @realDonaldTrump is a liar and now we can say with certainty that DT is also a traitor who is doing everything to ensure that Ukraine loses part of its territory, that Russia does not have to pay trillions for lost and crippled Ukrainian lives, and that the greatest criminal of our time, Putin, is not tried and punished for his crimes.

[Paul Prescod @paul_prescod]

Turns out federal workers are the reason we can fly safely, veterans get healthcare, and consumers are protected. Billionaires like Elon Musk are the parasite on society, not them.

[George Wallace @MrGeorgeWallace]

Tryin' to imagine makin' a billion dollars scribblin' about baby wizards and whatnot, then sittin' in my castle, rage-tweetin' at trans people all day. Guuurl you won at life. It's cool to just sign out and take everyone your ass has ever known to Wingstop.

[Mike Drucker @MikeDrucker]

it’s funny reading responses to this like “hell yeah finally we can ban dangerous chemicals in food and ensure all the food is up to the highest standard” and it’s like you sad, dumb fucks, they’re getting rid of all the regulators and regulations. That’s their whole thing, buddy
