On one side, you have a seasoned journalist with decades of credibility and colleagues who can speak to his integrity, on the other, you have a lifelong bullshit artist who has failed upward by flattering the powerful. I just don’t know who to believe.

yes thats the goal of the bourgeoisie, to create an uneducated population that cant advocate for themselves.

Shout out to Katie Porter for engaging in the proud progressive tradition of staying in the race long past when she could actually win, splitting the vote, and handing the election to a centrist Democrat that takes money from oil companies

NEW: Buried within the Senate Intelligence Authorization Act is a provision to increase intelligence sharing with Israel and impede the president's ability to reduce cooperation in the future.

I still cannot believe Portugal hired Roberto Martínez to lead them to World Cup glory after he single-handedly wasted Belgium’s entire golden generation. You had prime Hazard, De Bruyne, and Lukaku for a decade and won absolutely nothing. How this man keeps scamming his way into elite international squads is a scientific mystery. Portugal is carrying way too much talent to be held back by him

Fifa has been accused of using unofficial resale websites to shift cut-price World Cup tickets in an effort to avoid refunding those who paid face value.

As @ben_rumsby explains, the claim emerged days after the governing body was subpoenaed by the New York and New Jersey attorney generals amid allegations supporters had been misled over seating plans at stadiums ⤵️

If El-Sayed wins the nom, they will do this to him too. The elite Dem political class absolutely prefers Republicans to progressives. Say what you will about fighting fascism, at the end of the day this comes down to capital and the maintenance of a corrupt, broken system.

[Florian Ederer @florianederer]

I believe we now have evidence of FIFA's World Cup ticketing shell game: FIFA is colluding with third-party resale platforms for its own supply management.

Look at this SeatGeek map (secondary market!) for Saudi Arabia vs Cape Verde. The circled areas are not random single resale tickets, but large, contiguous blocks of seats: entire rows and swaths in sections 101/102, 112/113, 119/120, 134–137, 139, ...

The blue circles appeared weeks ago, then the purple blocks suddenly showed up a day or two ago, and the red blocks seem to have appeared recently too.

That's not what ordinary fan or even commercial scalper resale looks like who resell pairs, fours, and scattered seats. Instead, this looks like inventory being dumped in bulk onto secondary markets, at prices below FIFA's official site.

Why doesn't FIFA just lower prices on its own site Probably because official price cuts could trigger refund demands, chargebacks, or consumer-protection headaches from fans who already bought at much higher prices.

Instead FIFA keeps official prices high, avoids openly admitting the market-clearing price is lower, and moves unsold inventory through third-party resale platforms instead.

James Milner retiring means 2026-27 will be the first English top-flight season since 1956-57 that will not feature a single player who played under Sir Bobby Robson.

What terrifies these people the most isn't that someone like Abdul might lose; it's that someone with Abdul's politics will win exactly where they've told people Abdul's politics can't win for decades. And once that spell is broken, their time is up.

If we are going to call the cost of public services a “loss,” then Canadian police forces lost $20 billion last year while delivering no birthday presents and also killing a lot of people.

Come with me as I learn about each person at the official Israeli delegation at today's Israel Day Parade in New York City.

These are the people some of my fellow Jewish and other New Yorkers demanded Mayor Mamdani stand with today.

[Sturgeon's Law @Sturgeons_Law]

Absurd. Jews are fully integrated into US society, being one of the most successful groups economically & in terms of representation in positions of power (like Schumer himself). This is also an insane thing for a politician to say to a minority group.
