No matter what happens now, this World Cup will always be remembered as the one where the political leader of a participating nation leaned on FIFA to have the rules thrown out for his countrymen and FIFA caved. FIFA needs a purge. #cdnpoli #uspoli

NEW: A federal appeals court just rejected Trump's bid to restore his name to the Kennedy Center as he challenges a lower court's order that stripped his name from the building.

The Cygnus Wall is a turbulent ridge of ionized gas and dust within the North America Nebula (NGC 7000). Spanning roughly 15 to 20 light-years, this area represents the "Mexico and Central America" portion of the nebula and is one of its most active, concentrated star-forming regions.

No one person should pick Maine’s nominee for Senate - least of all Graham Platner. If he or his “team” had a shred of decency he would have already withdrawn. But it is obvious they don’t. There should be both a short and long term cost for this for each of them.

It's absolutely insane that Graham Platner, as of this hour, hasn't yet dropped out. The gall of attempting to leverage that announcement for his preferred replacement is especially batshit. I hope the Maine Democratic Party tells him to fuck off.
