No need for US to beat itself up over World Cup exit, even if the manner of it was deflating after such a bright group phase. Something special has happened to the game in America at this tournament. Thousands and thousands of boys and girls will be inspired to watch and play.
The relative silence about the clemency for Ronaldo’s redcard (which was awarded fairly) when compared to Balogun’s redcard (which was not awarded fairly) speaks volumes about their values
Sad Belgium has to play this game in the conference/court room with backroom deals and power plays when we just want to play it on the grass like real men.
Rubio has thoughts on the USA soccer match last night. "They got screwed with that red card. There needs to be an appeal process for that. It’s probably too late for that, right?” @SecRubio told us during a stop in the White House press briefing room today, referring to Folarin Balogun and the win against Bosnia and Herzegovina. Rubio was giving a brief tour.
It’s almost like…. This is the worst, most unconstitutional idea ever.
We’re proud to be leading the fight nationwide to eliminate these destructive policies.
Punitive climate policies targeting big oil continue to struggle, even in blue states.
New Jersey stalled its $50B climate superfund bill after Democrats and labor unions raised red flags over costs to families and businesses. https://t.co/1cSiPbJpH8
Connecticut quietly brings in Sher Edling nearly 6 years after filing its climate lawsuit vs energy companies.
The San Francisco firm is at the center of the national dark money lawfare campaign targeting big oil. https://t.co/HSNW8evVEo
Stuck on this. This lady running for Congress in Colorado says 9/11 was “inevitable in the sense that we destabilized a lot of the Middle East, that forced people to believe that another act of violence was the only response.”
By which, I guess she means, having a US military presence in Saudi Arabia by invitation after ousting Saddam Hussein from Kuwait.
That’s OBL’s logic. Unreconstructed al-Qaeda-ism.
With Colorado’s AG primary just days away, Democrat frontrunner Jena Griswold vows to pursue costly climate lawsuits - with or without the governor’s support.
How does making energy more expensive help working families?

Jena Griswold tells E&E News she fully backs Boulder's climate lawsuit, a case that even Boulder’s former attorney called an “indirect carbon tax.”
SCOTUS hears arguments this fall, right in the middle of election season.

We are so saddened by the passing of @lynn_bartels. She was the Grand Dame of Colorado politics and political reporting. I know she is already taking on the powers that be, finally at peace.
I remember the first time I met Lynn. It was during an arrest in Boulder on the Pearl Street Mall. Well that may be an exaggeration; it might not have been the first time we met, but I do know my first interview with her was a result of that arrest (and to be clear, it wasn’t me getting arrested). I’ll never forget my “coaching” from Dick Wadhams going into that interview!
Our bus tour together on the Allard campaign will forever be ingrained in my memory. Almost as good as the Wheat Tour we did with Sen. Bennet. And Lynn’s favorite picture of him in a field of sunflowers!
Lynn’s Rocky Mountain News Roll Call during my years at the state legislature was a must read. And Lynn was there every bit of the way - knowing where the ball was bouncing before any of us had even figured out there was a ball at all.
Our oldest daughter, Alyson, grew up with her in politics. Lynn was a timeless part of her life and her time sharing her Dad in public service would not have been the same without Lynn.
Her work defined Colorado politics, its leadership, and the intrigue of power. She did so with integrity and truth, without regard to “sides.”
She taught me how to work with the press, to help understand its role and she did so with gruff humor, discernment and wisdom.
She will always own the masthead of Colorado politics. And our state will forever be indebted to her for the work she did….and the work to come holding the pen in a better place.
I will always subscribe to the Lynn Bartels fan club!
Boulder's "climate case" is a backdoor carbon tax on Coloradans, even the plaintiffs' own former attorney admitted it.
If Weiser secretly backed it, it's a blatant flip flop from his prior skepticism of Boulder's legal claims.
