Perhaps the most offensive thing in this entire Man City scandal is that CFG could have been cooking the books and breaking the roster rules for NYCFC this whole time and didn’t care enough to do so.

From @theathleticfc.bsky.social: "We knew it was going to be bad. But this bad? No," our columnist writes about Manchester City. "The club manipulated, doctored and abused the system to ensure English football was lopsided in their favour." nyti.ms/4jxGv17

“No other club has swindled English football so brazenly. Nobody has gone about it in such a devious and heavy-handed fashion. It has disfigured years of competition and, for that alone, Manchester City’s supporters should probably brace themselves for the heaviest of punishments." - Daniel Taylor, senior writer

Something remarkable is happening: James Talarico is running an expansively pro-immigrant campaign in Texas, a state Trump won by 14 points, speaking in Biblical terms about our duty to "the stranger." And it's resonating. That's seismic. 1/ (new piece) newrepublic.com/article/2160...

In Texas, Something Seismic Is Happening—and It’s All Trump’s Fault

Thanks to the economy and ICE, Trump has lost Texas Latinos. And James Talarico is developing a humane pro-immigrant message that’s resonating—even in this ultra-Trumpy state.

Oh man Dallas is gonna take it right in the jeans. I guess you could say this storm system is nuts. Only the most ballsy will be out there driving in it.

Screenshot of meteorologist Jason Cooley’s Facebook post warning of flash flooding Wednesday, with Dallas–Fort Worth and Tulsa at moderate risk. An accompanying map highlights a red risk area extending from Central Texas through Dallas into Oklahoma, surrounded by yellow and green areas stretching into the Upper Midwest. It looks like testicles and a penis.

Just a reminder that this is the same Sen. Schmitt who repeatedly claimed that Chief Judge Boasberg was receiving a disproportionate share of Trump-related cases because he confused the D.C. Superior Court (which has 62 judges) with the D.C. district court (which has 15).
