The US men's soccer team has just lost to Panama and then Canada in a tournament where Mexico was eventually the champion. God works in mysterious ways 🙏

imagine explaining to someone in 2016 that Bill Kristol had united in a AOC/Bernie popular front against fascism

I know (for now) I'm in the minority but people are going to start figuring out that this guy is literally doing nothing about Trump.

I do not think random Black dude working the Exxon by my house needs to be lifting the democrat party but I think a former 2 term fucking president who could get in front of a microphone and bully pulpit all day every day and get worldwide coverage could be asked to weigh in at a moment of crisis

am i losing my mind or is this an insane reaction at someone asking the most popular former president to stop making netflix movies and to instead do something to counter incoming fascism

Canada is home to world-class scientists and researchers. We have a unique opportunity to recruit top US talent amid their recent major research cuts. What's our plan? 🇨🇦 🇨🇦 🇨🇦

Gawd, I miss Pelosi. This would never have happened on her watch.

Extraordinary moment — Nancy Pelosi issues a statement calling on Democratic senators to reject the House funding bill, i.e. to defy Chuck Schumer. "Democratic senators should listen to the women," she says, referring to Murray/DeLauro who want a 1-month stopgap bill instead.

The fight going on in the Democratic Party right now is not between hard left, left and moderate. It’s between those who want to fight and those who want to cave. And Team Fight stretches across all ideological aspects of the Party. Misread this at your own peril.

Democrats in array?

Pretty stunning statement from Jeffries, Clark and Aguilar denouncing Schumer's decision to vote for the CR. "We remain strongly opposed to the partisan spending bill under consideration in the Senate."

Do Schumer and Jeffries not .... Talk to each other?? Absolutely disastrous politics

"AOC for minority leader" as the top comment in r/neoliberal tells you how badly Schumer played this. And I say this as someone who has defended Dem leadership back in 2020

It. Could. Work.

Some "Russian Warship" vibes here from a tiny fed'l agency. via Brett Murphy: The African Development Foundation (budget ~$40 million) is putting up a fight and denying DOGE + Pete Marocco — the State Dept official dismantling USAID — access to their building:

country went to hell when auto shops put these in in place of a glass carafe that had been on the burner continuously since the Truman administration

GLENN: Why don't you wear a suit? You're at the highest level in this country's office & you refuse to wear a suit. A lot of Americans have problems with you not respecting the office. ZELENSKYY: I will wear a costume after this war will finish. Maybe something like yours. Maybe something better.

Just got fired from being a freshman football coach, if you want to know what MAGA does to communities. They don’t care about what helps people, because the school is certainly not going to find an ex-NFL player willing to coach there at that level, they only care about trying to hurt people.

Lmao

Ok, maybe AI is trash

don’t meet your heros. i finally saw the critters from redwall irl and they don’t even talk. they’re just pissing and shitting everywhere.

here is the thing about the “argument” that democrats should have run roughshod over the law when they had the chance: it is much easier to break the law to destroy a program than break the law to create one.

I’VE ABANDONED MY CHILD!!! I’VE ABANDONED MY BOY!!!

I cannot emphasize enough that the New York City subway is not scary. It’s one of my favorite parts of living here. I grew up in the suburbs having to drive on highways everywhere and that’s way scarier

Luckily the law seems to be on the MTA's side but dear lord Kathy Hochul created this mess with her "pause"

JD Vance is so nauseatingly unlikeable that he’s literally dragging down the AfD’s approval rating

@petebuttigieg.bsky.social @aoc.bsky.social can Democrats give people like April in this article a spotlight so Americans can see who Elon is stealing from? Use your power to get attention and make the current power grab tangible? econ.st/41lvaaT

If I'd known that the it would be the biggest dorks in the world bringing on our downfall, I'd have made something of myself a lot sooner

hakeem jeffries is so much worse at his job than nancy pelosi it's making me question my war on the gerontocracy

truly the most masculine administration america has ever had

WSJ sub: “Indian Partition went smoothly enough, right? Will try to remember to check this before publishing.”

where are the incels who draw the posture lines

Sell your Teslas, dump your stock, join the picket lines. Hurting Tesla is stopping Musk, and stopping Musk will help save lives and our democracy. The stakes couldn't be higher and no one is coming to fix this- not our politicians and not our media. It's up to collective effort.

way funnier than the conservatives who hated Kendrick Lamar's Super Bowl halftime show are the conservatives who thought he was doing the ultimate patriotic ode to America

dem governors should declare all-out-war on elon musk and forcibly seize any assets of his in their states.

chanting and marching in the streets is good optics sure but i dont think it's actually going to have an impact until it starts actually frightening the fascists, which it currently isn't

“I don’t think the United States Senate should vote for a single nominee until this is over!” - @chrismurphyct.bsky.social

Democrats continue to fight with one arm behind their back. Blue states should be banning Tesla by now

not surprising that mr. bonespurs couldn't even fight a trade war

The Urdu daily 'The Musalman' of Chennai (Madras) is possibly the only surviving handwritten newspaper in the world. It is still calligraphed by hand by katibs in its Triplicane office. Here is a list from the year 1938 of the Urdu newspapers of Madras, beginning in the 1840s.

Since chaos is the order of the day, I figure next week we'll have to turn in all $100 bills to be replaced with new bills with a photo of Mr Big. Worked so well in Modi's India.

Congressional Dems badly missing the moment right now. They are currently holding a press conference to celebrate the 30th anniversary of Chex Quest - a great game to be sure, but weeks late and hardly the biggest priority right now.
