Not so fast, Belgium.

The city of Los Angeles still has another 29 days to count all the goals from tonight's match.

[BDSooner @duncansooner]

Uh what?

[Acyn @Acyn]

Kevin McCarthy on Platner Allegations: That one thing I know about Republicans is when we had a very bad candidate, we didn't vote for that person. We walked away.

[BDSooner @duncansooner]

This deserves a repost.

[Jessica Riedl 🧀 🇺🇦 @JessicaBRiedl]

A perk of being politically tribeless is being able to declare that Donald Trump, Ken Paxton, and Graham Platner are all personally unfit for office without having to twist myself into a pretzel trying to explain some hackish partisan double standard. Principles over party.

[Stephen Richer @stephen_richer]

No to Eric Swalwell
No to Ken Paxton
No to Graham Platner
No to Tony Gonzalez
No to Bob Menendez
No to Donald Trump

etc.

It's pretty easy.

If he's done something that disqualifies him from running anything from a school district to an NBA team, then he doesn't deserve your vote.

Maybe for just 24 to 48 hours people on Twitter could celebrate the United States and the opportunities that she offers instead of complaining about things. Just maybe? no probably not.

[BDSooner @duncansooner]

There are many of us. Sadly both parties are drifting more and more to the extreme.

[Frank Luntz @FrankLuntz]

Voters who do not align with the Democratic or Republican parties make up the largest portion of the American electorate.

Research shows most independent voters hold moderate ideologies and want a system that's focused on open-mindedness rather than rigid political labels.

This is just mindlessly dumb.

[DSA Watch @DSA_Watch]

Rep. Pramila Jayapal (D-WA): “Cuba has shown us what a universal health care system actually looks like. Until this happened and despite all the challenges, Cuba had done an amazing job of preventing maternal mortality and neonatal mortality, cancer, all of the things that we strive to do in the United States."

“As a Jew, some people read a little more Jewish than other people. Jon Ossoff may not read as Jewish as Josh Shapiro.”
– CNN’s @Elex_Michaelson

Now imagine a CNN anchor saying some candidates “read more Muslim” or “more Black,” implying they’re less fit for higher office.

[BDSooner @duncansooner]

Racism is infecting both parties in spite of what the left wants to believe.

[Jon Levine @LevineJonathan]

NEW from me

I called up David Duke to ask about Darializa Avila Chevalier's criticism of interracial relationships —  He was a fan!

"I think that people have the right to preserve their particular heritage," Duke tells me

The new transportation bill puts special interests—like labor unions—above safety. https://t.co/oP7lvwnqEH

I'd suggest electing people who hold to those founding principles. Seems like a good place to start.

[Emily Ekins @emilyekins]

Americans overwhelmingly believe the Constitution matters:

86% say it’s important for protecting our rights and freedoms, and 82% say it’s been vital to American prosperity.

But this 4th of July -- 57% worry the U.S. is drifting from our founding principles.

Gee if maybe NY hadn’t shut down a carbon friendly nuclear plant.

[Mayor Zohran Kwame Mamdani @NYCMayor]

New York: it's hot out there, and the power grid is working overtime to keep us cool.

Set your AC to 78 degrees, turn off lights/electronics you're not using, and unplug what you can.

Our City is doing its part too: maintaining the 78 degrees rule in our buildings, dimming/turning off our lights during peak electricity demand, asking private partners to do the same, and powering down non-essential equipment.

A stable grid means the AC stays on, and lives are saved. Let's ease demand — and get through the heat — together.

[Dan Senor @dansenor]

Look throughout history: when Jews are attacked, the outrage is too often directed against Jews for “creating” or “contributing” to the conditions that led to the violence against Jews. This canard is all so predictable.

[BDSooner @duncansooner]

Gee. Someone should do this. I can’t believe we hadn’t considered it before

[Zack Stanton @zackstanton]

On Monday, Darializa Avila Chevalier told MS NOW she wanted to use her power in Congress to transform the United States into “a society where we don’t have murders.”

@OK_Breakdown I trust the football and athletic department folks to make football and athletic department decisions.

[BDSooner @duncansooner]

They don’t even know what socialism is.

[Marco Foster @MarcoFoster_]

Melat Kiros: “We have socialism already. It’s in the roads we drive on, the schools we send our kids to, the fire stations we call upon. I’m just asking that we extend that security to our healthcare, to our housing, to our nutritional food, to our higher education so that we’re actually meeting the basic needs of everyday working families in this country”

[BDSooner @duncansooner]

Wait. I thought Trump controlled the court?

[AG @AGHamilton29]

SCOTUS Decisions this morning:

1. SCOTUS rules (6-3) that Trump can fire an FTC Commissioner w/out cause. Overturns 1935 Humphrey’s Executor decision

2. SCOTUS rules (5-4) states can count mail-in ballots arriving after elex day if they were mailed before Election Day consistent with that state’s laws.

3. SCOTUS (5-4) keeps the injunction against Trump removing Fed Reserve Board member Lisa Cook until that litigation is settled.

4. SCOTUS declined to intervene in the sexual assault/defamation civil case against Trump.

[BDSooner @duncansooner]

Facts don’t matter to the extreme left. They learned the theories in college and by god they just haven’t been tried correctly yet. It’s all unicorns and rainbows.

The US gives roughly 4 billion a year in aid to Israel out of a 7.4 trillion yearly budget. That's 0.05%.

The US spends 1 trillion a year on K-12 schools.

Cut Israel's aid if you want, but it'll have almost zero effect on spending.

A Nordic-style tax structure would tax the rich much more heavily than the United States but also define “the rich” much more broadly.
