@daveowens55 It's coming!

Gotta appreciate the mental toughness of #England to hang on. They obviously wanted this more. #WorldCup #FIFA.

@E11Hayes @ABC24Memphis @bcmGrizzlies @BluffCity_Media You deserve it! I know Memphis is going to be spoiled with your talents!

Norway pays entry level cashiers and gas station attendants over 20 dollars an hour, plus five weeks vacation, a pension, and a year of combined parental leave. A Harvard economist told Kristof the U.S. ran a similar model from the 1940s through the 1960s: strong unions, expanding education, an early experiment with universal child care. Then America changed course, and Kristof's explanation for why is specific rather than vague: safety net programs got recast as handouts for Black Americans, the welfare queen caricature did real political work, and the coalition supporting broad investment in workers came apart along racial lines instead of economic ones.

Kristof frames this through his own rural Oregon hometown, where mills closed, meth arrived, and three childhood friends died homeless. He says plainly he thinks they'd have survived being born into Norway's safety net instead.

The same story plays out in Indiana counties that lost manufacturing and never fully replaced it. It's the road not taken, with a body count attached to the version we picked instead.

"Credit Scores" didn't exist before 1989. You are being judged by a system younger than your older brother, designed specifically to track how well you serve the banks. Your "worthiness" as a human is being decided by an algorithm that rewards debt.

Its funny how everyone's idea of heaven is a complete untouched paradise, crystal clear waters, lush green forests, enough food for everyone, classless, moneyless, stateless, a Utopia of peace, unity andhappiness. But here on earth it's considered a leftist ideology.

Mitch McConnell remaining technically alive for an extra three weeks because of a manipulative procedural maneuver is exactly how he would have wanted to go out.

I'm obviously hoping we win. I just don't want there to be an * next to anything this #USMST accomplishes in this #WorldCup. And #Pepi deserved a chance to prove he can win too. The next two days of games [ 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿 v 🇲🇽, 🇳🇴 v 🇧🇷 , and 🇺🇸 v 🇧🇪 ] are going to be great regardless.

[Tiffeny Owens @nicalibre86]

I'm very worried we may be pissing off the ⚽️ gods with this reverse of the #Balogun red card decision. It was a bad call, but this last minute intervention is not a good look. I think we could beat #Belgium without him. I fear we may pay for this and lose with him. #WorldCup.

🔥 @RoKhanna campaigning for @AbdulElSayed:

“The last people who have any right to lecture us about electability are the establishment who lost to Donald Trump twice. I don’t want to hear it. If you had anything to do with those campaigns, please sit down or exit stage left.”

A three-judge panel agreed that people incarcerated within Alabama’s prisons are not receiving adequate mental health care — but rolled back several requirements a lower court imposed to address the problem.

Since the start of President Donald Trump’s second term, the administration has detained nearly half a million immigrants, according to a report. But the number of children they leave behind and what happens to them, most of whom are U.S. citizens, is largely unknown.
