Trump doesn’t force people to do bad things. All he did was show people they could get away with being horrible if they really wanted to, and a lot of powerful people decided they didn’t need to pretend anymore. Especially those in influential positions who could push back but did not.

We played our worst game of the tournament and Belgium played their best game. But the truth is also that they are just a team with a wider, deeper, more dynamic pool of talent. Been the story of American soccer for many years and still the story today. Gap is closing, but it’s very much still there

I don’t think I’ve ever been as proud of a team as I am of this Cabo Verde team. What a remarkable performance. One of the best games I’ve ever watched. I’ll never forget it.

Every single Republican is a disgrace for standing by him. It's unforgivable. They are watching America die and they're afraid to do or say anything because they decided long ago that loyalty to Trump supersedes all other civic or patriotic or moral considerations.

Deliberately attacking civilian infrastructure without apparent military value is a war crime. Shouldn't be surprising since America elected a war crimes advocate, who in his first term pardoned convicted war criminals, and in his second made the public champion of those war criminals SecDef.

Before today, no F-15 had been shot down in more than 35 years — since January 19, 1991, during the Persian Gulf War. Before today, the U.S. had never had more than one aircraft shot down by friendly fire in a single day, let alone three.

MAGA men imagine themselves as Charles Martel defeating the Arabs in 732 AD. Their actual vision of manly heroism involves heavily-armed schlubs executing defenseless, unarmed Americans for daring to stand up for immigrants, and they're getting defeated by an army of women in bathrobes and slippers.

The government says the people being deported are violent criminals, and they treat them inhumanely. But mostly they are subjecting ordinary people to extraordinary punishments.
He was then flown to the Ice facility in El Paso, Texas.

He said he has been locked in the same large, cold and damp room for 4½ months with more than 70 men. He said detainees are constantly hungry because meals served at tables in the centre of the room offer only child-sized portions. Fights often break out over food, “even over those little child-sized juice containers”. Toilet areas are “filthy”.

He said there is little to do but lie on a bed all day. Most detainees do not speak any English. He said he has been allowed outside for air and exercise fewer than a dozen times in nearly five months. The atmosphere is full of “anxiety and depression”, he said.

Good morning. The President of the United States was in the middle of the most serious child sex trafficking ring of the last quarter century. He is referenced not a dozen times in the case files. Not 100 times. Not 1,000 times. He’s referenced 38,000 times.

The Epstein emails should really end the debate over whether society should have billionaires. "Do you want there to be a class of people so powerful they can fuck your kids and no one will even try to do anything" seems like an easy sell if everyone in politics wasn't trying to get on their payroll

No one who treated "wear a mask when you enter this store" as horrific tyranny actually believe in deference to state authority. It's Schmittian friend-enemy politics all the way down. "We" should be able to do whatever we feel like without consequence. "They" should be harassed, repressed, killed.
