There are indeed four groups of four. Keep playing, the clock is ticking.

If the U.S. were not the hosts, the USMNT would not qualify. It’s a frustrating stew of politics, coaches’ kids and mediocrity. The USWNT rocks tho!

Thank you for airing this, Brian. Absent, however, is any analysis from your perspective as a journalist who reports on the media. Care to add any thought/context? Stand up now or regret not having done so later.

Tryna help here. Maybe say “Don’t endorse Cuomo.” As your post stands, I honestly couldn’t tell you if you want me to endorse or not.

If you think they were mistaken, you’re missing the point.

FDA Commissioner Malarkey.

Here is another masterclass in irresponsible journalism. I hate to even put the word “journalism” in my mouth when it comes to Tapper/CNN. Read the bill back to Johnson. Ask for a legitimate study behind the Medicare fraud.

I’ll say this: She will have a better audience for continuing a campaign around the losing terms “weird” and “empathy.”

Waste not one more syllable of our lives talking about Jake Tapper. He’s not the sharpest journalist MSM’s sea of mediocrity. Mediacrity? Think of it/him as another Trump shiny object. There is too much going on that needs our attention, people!

Thank you for deeming it the “Trump Tax.” We need to universally and uniformly use this language. Tariffs are obscure and conceptually have no effect on the finances of Americans. We all, however, understand the basics of a “tax.” Paired with accountability, the “Trump tax” hits the mark.

To be fair, Douglas County was already solidly blue.

Why is this an opinion piece and not a news story at WaPo?

Roberts blamed schools for shortchanging civics education and leaving students with little understanding of the structure of U.S. government or the role of the courts. “That’s really too bad,” said Roberts, who, alone, transformed the court into an ATM for Fascists over the course of two years.

Not depicted here, Roberts’ kneepads.

Yawn. Sounds like the Oscars. Remember when Cannes was for new discovery?

So, check my math, Bondi as part of Ballard Partners lobbied for Qatar for $115k/mo. Trump picks her out of the blue for AG. This Qatar lobby part slipped her mind as a potential conflict in her Senate confirmation testimony. Four months in a $400m Qatari jet arrives with a bow.

Yes, but it just turns out that Biden kept sending more and bigger military packages to Netanyahu. Hamas’ game plan, security blanket was to keep anything American to the end. Their leverage was holding Americans or Netanyahu would have stormed and killed indiscriminately.

MAGA is far beyond test balloons. I’m amazed that we are still platforming astonishment. Time to move beyond astonishment.

Someone needs to give JC Penny Goebbels whatever people get when declaring war on democracy.

The playbook has ALWAYS been, invert the claim and that is precisely what T-rump is doing. If you’re a journalist and haven’t figured this out, you are a nice person.

Time to start doxxing.

Yes. Now let’s give it a summary that people can better understand. Trump continues to burn books and trample on freedom with this latest act.

Yes, and if anyone talks about it in those terms, we lose. This was a Nazi kidnapping by faceless fascists.

We fought Nazis abroad. We need to be prepared fight them at home. Our parents and grandparents fought for a fascist-free Europe and Asia. Is democracy in America, the beacon of hope, important enough to have this conversation? For me, it is.
