Upon a lot more reflection, that scene we saw after Argentina lost was arguably the most disgraceful thing we've ever wintneessed on a World Cup pitch. The more I watch it, the more I think that nobody involved as an aggressor should ever play in the tournament again.

@aintscarylarry Gov Beshear sounds like Susan Collins

[maria @MariaUSBRSW]

@joncoopertweets @AndyBeshearKY Don’t want him as our presidential candidate. Something is off. @ossoff or @PeteButtigieg with @SenMarkKelly much better options

[Jeffrey Goldberg @JeffreyGoldberg]

"Here are some things that Mark Kelly has survived: a turbulent and sometimes violent childhood, 39 combat missions in Desert Storm, a missile blowing up just above his plane, and four space-shuttle voyages (two as mission commander). He has also braved the near-murder of the person he loves most and watched her get deluged with death threats for years afterward.

It is fair to observe that Pete Hegseth cannot scare him."

BREAKING: KY Governor Andy Beshear was just awarded the “2026 Merrick Garland Prize for Political Timidity” for refusing to hold a special election to either replace Mitch McConnell or at least prove that Mitch is alive.

Mayor Zohran Mamdani just did something his critics swore a socialist would never do: cut fines, fees, permits, and red tape for small businesses.

More than 50 reforms will make it easier for restaurants, bodegas, barbershops, retailers, and drivers to operate—including killing the absurd second permit restaurants need just to serve ice cream.

Less bureaucracy. Lower costs. More time running the business.

That is what competent government looks like.

[Republicans against Trump @RpsAgainstTrump]

Unacceptable. This is the kind of thing you’d expect from Russia, Iran or China, not the United States.

[Books Behind Borders @MHTruthUltra]

🚨Americans should know this: There are around 800,000 to 900,000 Jewish settlers in the West Bank and East Jerusalem, and none of them work. They live off government funding — free housing, free healthcare, free everything.

And your tax dollars pay for it.

BREAKING: Over 100 US Service members have been injured in the Middle East over the last 12 days!

Chief Pentagon Spokesman Sean Parnell has just confirmed this to CBS.

WTF!!

Oh look, a handy dandy sheet on how not to get explosive diarrhea from Taylor Farms

[. @prime_jordan1]

This is why they kept winning so many games late on btw. Referees allowed them to wrestle with their opponents and after 80mins of this shit they’re exhausted and can’t run as much.

Didn’t work this time though against a team that just moves the ball too well

Trump bet nobody would check the math on his library fund. Warren checked. Up to $21 million is missing.

With proper refereeing, Messi’s red card foul knocks Argentina out in the groups.

With proper refereeing, Cape Verde, Egypt, Switzerland and England knock them out.

Instead, fifa gives us the most lopsided final ever, and make a record $15 billion.

[Man City Brazil @ManCityBrazil]

O comentarista suíço David Lemos, encerrou a transmissão resumindo com precisão os problemas desta Copa do Mundo, ele foi perfeito.

🗣️"Não há dúvidas de que esta foi a Copa do Mundo mais comercial da história e também uma das mais politizadas."

"Não esqueceremos os preços que pessoas sem grande poder aquisitivo tiveram de pagar para viver sua paixão pelo futebol."

"Em alguns casos, sequer puderam entrar no país por causa de sua nacionalidade, fossem torcedores, jornalistas ou até árbitros, como o somali Omar Artan."

"Também lembramos do tratamento inaceitável dado à seleção do Irã, que não pôde defender suas chances de forma adequada durante o torneio."

"E há ainda o caso de Folarin Balogun. Vimos um presidente se vangloriar de ter ligado para o presidente da FIFA para conseguir retirar a suspensão de um jogador."

"A política se infiltrou no coração do futebol, embora a FIFA afirme querer mantê-la acima de tudo. Fica claro que isso só vale até certo ponto."

"Foi uma Copa do Mundo em que todas as partidas foram disputadas em quatro tempos, e cuja final teve um intervalo de quase 30 minutos."

"A crise tem dois nomes: dinheiro e poder. Hoje existe uma crise de confiança entre muitos dos envolvidos no futebol e a FIFA."

"Nas próximas semanas, muito dinheiro será distribuído a diversas federações e a muitos agentes do futebol, que serão educadamente convidados a permanecer em silêncio."

"Esperamos que tudo isso seja levado em consideração e que não volte a acontecer."

Roberto Ayala, cuerpo técnico de Scaloni, agredió a Dani Olmo con un puñetazo tras acabar el partido.

Vergonzoso.
