FIFA’s Disciplinary Committee did not overturn Balogun’s red card. It suspended the suspension under Article 27 of the FIFA Disciplinary Code, making him eligible to play.
The issue isn’t… 🧵
Center ref is doing a really good job. Until you’ve been there, you don’t know how hard it is to make the right calls, even in a U-10 game. I can’t imagine how hard to officiate your first game ever in the round of 32 at the World Cup. Brave and impressive when you consider that.
Havana Docks Corp. v. Royal Caribbean Cruises, Ltd. (5-21-2026)

SCOTUSgami! This is the 1st time this lineup has occurred in a SCOTUS opinion!
A few thoughts:
1) This attack should not have happened without Congressional authorization. This is no mere technicality -- it's the framer's foundational design for how the republic should wage war.
2) Khamenei's death is a great victory, but we've all been on this rollercoaster before. The U.S. and Israelis have taken out lots of leaders and rulers in these long wars.
3) I very very very much want the regime to fall, and I desperately want democracy to take root, but remember, we're ultimately relying in large part on civilian protesters (hopefully with the support of dissenting regime elements) to actually topple the regime.
4) If we rely on protesters (who possess magnificent courage), I'm worried we might see something like what happened to Iraqis who rose up against a defeated Saddam in 1991. It was a bloody massacre. That's a nightmare scenario.
5) Our forces have performed magnificently, and I'm hoping and praying that the Iranian response remains inept and ineffective. But it's dangerous to simply presume that it will.
6) If we take losses (or if we suffer economic disruption) that's when we'll see one of the consequences of failing to go to Congress. We're a divided country. Trump is a mercurial man.
7) Trump's temperament and character are one reason why it's silly to say, "If I'd support this under any other president, I should support this under Trump." He's not like any other president. Bad and dishonest leaders make me less confident in their plans.
8) If, however, the Iranian people can rally, if our attacks can prevent the regime from massacring civilians, then it will be a massive accomplishment and a great day for the U.S., Israel, and the world.
“It's very dramatic when two people come together to work something out. It's easy to take a gun and annihilate your opposition, but what is really exciting to me is to see people with differing views come together and finally respect each other.”

Seeing a lot of hot takes of people trying to figure out if the pope is conservative or not because he's pro-life but he's also pro-immigration and care for the poor.
Idk, guys. Call me crazy, but I think the pope might be Catholic.
I care about strangers because the people I love are strangers in the world and I would hope other people would care for them in moments of their life that occur outside of my presence. Not that complicated.
Fun fact: After viewing classified material about the CCP's influence on TikTok, the bill to ban TikTok passed committee with a 50-0 vote. Fifty to zero, MAGA + centrists + DSA members were unanimous.
All the accounts bemoaning this seem totally incurious why that might be.
