Impeach him. That’s the answer. Send him to prison for the rest of his pitiful existence.

Fuck this Nazi bullshit.
Insanity‼️

The Coast Guard under Trump’s DHS is downgrading swastikas, nooses, and Confederate flags to “potentially divisive” instead of hate symbols, even with their violent history.

Yeah, have Berhalter start. If only for dead ball situations.

#usmnt
Either him or Berhalter. That kid can whip in a corner.

A game at 8/10 pm on a Monday night, when there are no other games on the schedule, the day after we all moved our clocks back an hour should be illegal. This game kicked off at 11pm according to MN players body clocks. That’s insanity.

Pereyra - Lod
Markanich - Trapp - Triantis - Rosales
Romero - Boxall - Diaz

Should Jackson Ragen have been carded or sent off for that push on Hlongwane? Can you just shove a player from behind as they are in the act of shooting?? 🤔 #MLSCupPlayoffs

This is why they shut down the government.
FULL STORY HERE: Emails began flooding CDC inboxes late Friday night announcing dozens of layoffs. HR people brought back from furlough to oversee the RIFs. Disease detectives, entire Washington office, global health, injury prevention, MMWR staff among those hit.

… they play with 11 attacking mids on the field.
I appreciate your work and look forward to the analysis and rankings.
Care to finish this sentence?

Are we great yet?

Turns out we don’t need a 9! Just a bunch of midfielders and wingbacks. 😆
Random stat of the night: tonight's 3-0 win for the Loons was the first time since July 2024 that #MNUFC won a match AND had 50% possession or better

Boxall and Markanich both have to be in the convo for Defender of the Year. #mls #mnufc
This kid's unreal. Meet the highest scoring defender in MLS.

How can we witness atrocities like this on a daily basis and not think that things need to change? How are we ok with this being the cost of having firearms?

Imagine it was your place of worship. Imagine sitting there with your family.

We need change.

MVP: Anders Dreyer (I’m 99.9% sure at the end it will be Messi, but right NOW it is Dreyer)

Coach: Jesper Sorensen (Yes, I’m counting CCC)

GK: Dayne St. Clair

Defender: Tristan Blackmon

Young: Obed Vargas

BEST XI: ⬇️

As you cancel streaming services, here is a casual reminder that only 16% of Americans read for pleasure anymore, and your local library has hundreds or thousands of books you haven't read.

They would love to see you stop by and renew your library card.

But I thought it was the radical left?!?!
Tyler Robinson’s grandmother, Debbie Robinson, told the Daily Mail today:

“My son, his dad, is a Republican for Trump. Most of my family members are Republican. I don’t know any single one who’s a Democrat.”

This is why Trump has consistently tried discredit the news, calling it “fake news.” It’s an attempt to get away with these kinds of things. He’s trying to control the narrative.

This is some Putin shit. Some Kim Jong Un shit. He’s trying to be like his heroes.
More news breaking at Bounces about Donald Trump's visit to the US Open men's final.

The US Open has sent an email to broadcasters, obtained by Bounces, ordering them to censor any reactions or protests from the crowd to Trump's appearance.

Guns are the problem. Having guns never results in fewer deaths.
Way, way too common that a tragedy like this happens in America.
