Racing Louisville is officially eliminated from #NWSL playoff contention after a 2-0 loss to the San Diego Wave. It was merely mathematical technicalities until this point; the realistic cutoff line of contention is Denver (huge 6-pt game in KC tomorrow). A lot to figure out on and off field in LOU.

Dear Mr. President, Thank you for having us at the state dinner last night. So much fun being with you socially! Here’s a little token of our gratitude. Yours (until we meet again in the illegal “ballroom” we recently green-lighted!), John, Brett & Amy.

@racingloufc.com becomes the first team in #NWSL history with multiple, separate 5 game losing streaks in one season. Genuinely difficult to find positive take aways when Racing gives up an early 2nd half goal for the 3rd time in 4 matches. #RacingLou #NWSL #LOUvsBAY

Donald Trump’s Sunday-morning Truth Social post “suggests a president who is now lost in a fantasy city in his mind—a capital where the buildings are festooned with his name, drenched in glitz, and bristling with weapons,” @radiofreetom.bsky.social argues:

Saw Of Mice & Men at Kennedy Center in June 1977. A 17 year-old from London, Kentucky, was in awe to be there. Although my family was Republican, I idolized JFK. Loved the huge bronze bust of him in the foyer. Returned a few times thereafter, but never lost the thrill. A beautiful, fitting memorial.

At least 14 have been killed after a bombed-out building collapses in Gaza. It underscores how desperate living conditions have grown for Palestinians as a ceasefire deal between Israel and Hamas stalls.

We have seen Russia’s recklessness at full display in the past 48 hours. A Russian warship fired flares at a Danish helicopter. NATO jets had to shoot down a drone over Lithuania. Russia struck a passenger train near the border with Ukraine. And Poland pulled a drone from its shores. (1/2)

Glad folks are appalled by photos of the "phone booth" cage under an awning, but pls understand: This IG report is likely part of a cover-up. Amnesty Int'l interviewed detainees EIGHT MONTHS AGO who said the cage was half this size (couldn't stand up), had no awning, w feet chained to the bottom.

There is nothing “conservative” about either MAGA or the AfD, certainly not in the colloquial understanding of the term. They are at war with the very idea of a democratic society of equals, devoted to a project that is best described as a kind of aggrieved revanchism.

MAGA is siding with the AfD *because* it is a rightwing extremist party - *because* it is aiming to bring liberal democracy down in Germany. That is the shared goal; liberal democracy is the shared enemy.
