Joe Biden fighting cancer and standing tall. Donald Trump being a cancer and sleeping.

NEW: Evidence that became public only in the last two years raises new questions about a Saudi man who assisted two 9/11 hijackers. “Somebody needs to explain to the American people why we didn’t see this information before,” a former FBI agent said.

25 Years After 9/11, Questions About the FBI’s Pursuit of Saudi Suspects in the Case Have Only Grown
FBI agents quickly identified a Saudi suspect who helped two of the 9/11 hijackers. But families of the victims are demanding to know what happened in the bureau’s investigation of Omar al-Bayoumi.

Oversell a product that doesn't meet current expectations, expect your customer base to beta test and train said product to reach expectations, and then reduce the labor force and reap profits without sharing. I wonder why people hate it?

@espn.com letting go of Clark and Newton but keeping Peter Schrager for NFL coverage is like saying you'd rather cottage cheese on your pizza instead of pepperoni.

Concerning the USMNT red card fiasco: 1) The red card was inappropriate and the VAR standard protocol wasn't applied 2) The suspension of the red card was inappropriate 3) The USMNT had nothing to do with either 4) The #9 seed is still playing the #16 5) Not everything needs to be a microcosm

Annoying part of this world cup is watching some Americans wear their ignorance of the sport as a badge of honor.

They ran out of 4s.
A paper replacement for the placard because they don't have enough 4s for the rising prices.

NEW: This new report, from BBC, is the best takedown of the insanity of Trump you will see anywhere. Calm, coherent and repeating only Trump’s own words. Devastating. Brilliant work once again from Roz Atkins. (🎥 BBC News)

Every single one of these heinous acts belongs to those who voted for Trump. The "I didnt vote for this" crowd need to be reminded that they did. It may not have been their intent but it sure as shit is the impact of their vote.

When we climb out of this current mess, we should make sure to never fall for the fantasy that Republicans are for small government and states' rights. They're only for those things when they're not in power.

The problem with out media ecosystem is that we cant tell which party is lying. No matter who is lying, they're not lying to each other. They're lying to us.

Democratic leaders have met political violence with the same response. They stress the need to stop the inflammatory rhetoric and address the issue. Republicans respond to political violence differently. They exploit it for more violence or dismiss it with conspiracies.

July 18: If we have a smart president, you're never going to let the dollar slide. If you have a dummy, that could happen. July 25: A weak dollar makes you a hell of a lot more money. It doesn't sound good, but you make a hell of a lot more money with a weaker dollar than with a strong dollar

There isn't any reason to have US troops deployed in cities. We're seeing is an escalation by the administration to place troops into cities & states that are politically opposed to the president. The next step will be to declare martial law which you can expect to coincide with midterm elections.

There seems to be a fundamental misunderstanding among the MAGA element that if you do the right thing you need to receive gratitude and praise. You do the right thing because it is the right thing not because you want recognition.

In case you needed an update, The Trump Administration is siding with Russia over Ukraine. It's like if Rocky decided that Apollo deserved to die in the ring and raised Drago's arm before the 10 count was even finished.

Democrats seem hobbled by the idea that a coordinated messaging strategy is disingenuous. Your message can be authentic, but it needs to be playing all day and on every channel.

This whole DOGE thing. 1) If you want to cut funding, fine. Do it constitutionally through legislation, not by breaking the law. 2) If you're looking for fraud, waste, and abuse, forensic accountants would be a better option than 20-something coders with a misunderstanding of Kant

They're getting rid of DEIA. They've frozen litigation at the Civil Rights Division. They've reversed a 1965 EO used to desegregate the government contractor process. They've fired inspector generals illegally. They're not creating a meritocracy. They're re-instituting segregation.

The most annoying thing about #ESPN and #NFLNetwork coverage is that every segment is what will we say if player X does or doesn't do Y. It's mostly prognostication about what other analysts might say.

Trump drops a pump and dump meme coin that he holds 80% in opening the door to unprecedented corruption, and the media is just gonna shrug because if they can't induce shame and contrition, it's not worth covering. Meanwhile, his supporters are gonna get fleeced and literally left out in the cold.

The entire premise of Facebook was based on a college photo book of incoming freshmen. It's always been a predatory concept that was stolen from two meathead coders by someone who was/is unlikeable. It was never meant to be a global forum of free speech. It's always been a massive wank project.

The next four years are going to be extremely dangerous, embarrassing, and utterly stupid. We've elected a moron with malicious intent. Not one person who voted for him should ever be let off the hook for the damage that's about to occur.

This is awful and #Biden shouldn't have done it. Judge is on house arrest in Florida and could have finished his term, which only had a year and change left.

@cnn.com still doing he-said-she-said coverage instead of in depth analysis of the cabinet nominees' qualifications. You can objectively say they're not qualified, if they don't have the requisite experience.

A continual issue with our political system is the failure of journalism to stay relevant. The idea that journalists need to be centered between two opposing views instead of tied to facts erodes any trust in the coverage.

I think the Gaetz report should be released because it is of public interest. I think journalists should be demanding it's release because of this instead of tepidly seeing what both sides think on the matter.

The appointment of unqualified people for serious jobs is a further sign that bad things are coming with this administration. These are people who will be loyal to Trump and not the Constitution. I wish journalists would assess this threat for what it is, instead of treating it like a gaper delay.
