It wasn't long ago that migrants fleeing regimes like those in Venezuela and Cuba were welcomed by Republicans. But no more.

For @TheProspect, I dive into the GOP's startling about-face, Desantis' cruel stunt, and whether it will cost them at the polls.

Explaining Venezuela is difficult "not because the country is incomprehensible, but because the narrative space around it is so crowded."

A piece—judging from my TL since Saturday—in desperate demand. González nails it.

@fifamedia @FIFAWorldCup As a head's up to folks who liked this--the system seems to be working now! Thanks for fixing it, FIFA.

@fifamedia @FIFAWorldCup Please, fix your systems! Spent nearly an hour waiting to enter and now, when trying to finish my application, I keep getting hit with this error: "Something went wrong. Please try again later."

@fifamedia @FIFAWorldCup Five hours later and still can't get through the simple application process due to system errors. What a disaster of a roll-out process on FIFA's hands here!

@FIFAWorldCup Nearly four hours later and still no fixes or feedback from your team. This is a real insult to fans who took time out of their day to pay eye-wateringly expensive ticket prices.

@fifamedia @FIFAWorldCup Cleared cookies... waited in line again... same error! And it seems many are experiencing the same. Really, this is a very bad look for FIFA.

@fifamedia @FIFAWorldCup I would appreciate a team member's help with this. Very disappointing for you to raise folks' hopes like this and then not be able to deliver.

@maxrushden @JohnBrewin_ @lucyjward_ ‘El conejito’ José Ángel Carmona’s rabbit pantomime after scoring against Barcelona today makes me wonder: what are the best animal-related goal celebrations the panel can recall?

🫓 The Venezuelan government is blocking access to key auditing material.

BREAKING — The Biden administration will be offering more than 400,000 Venezuelan migrants in the U.S. legal status and work permits through an expansion of the TPS program following demands from New York and other cities, three sources tell @CBSNews.

I am thrilled to introduce State Court Report, a new resource & commentary hub covering constitutional developments across the 50 states. State courts & constitutions are important sources of rights. Let's give them the attention they deserve. https://t.co/n7AlW1WHm0

The Venezuelans Gov. DeSantis dropped in Martha’s Vineyard last fall as a political stunt are thriving.

“I did not even know where Martha’s Vineyard was. And now I feel welcomed by everybody here. I’m working, making friends and this is home for me now.”

@the_vello Give Bacio in Bloomingdale a try. Two larges for $30, if memory serves, and very good quality.
