The short history of one of the league's steadier teams, even if recent years haven't been as good for #NYCFC.
Good year, better timing in 2025.
That stadium is a blemish. #MLS (1/2)

At least two dreams heavily centered on crime-scene reconstruction, one of them featuring video review on par with the Reagan assassination.
Think the mystery in both was whether I bought Jessie Plemmons a beer.

NO SENATE VOTE TONIGHT
Couldn’t get all senators to allow a speedy vote. Schumer tells reporters Lindsey Graham is blocking it. “That’s the holdup,” Schumer tells reporters. Graham wants to keep a provision letting him sue to pocket $500,000 over J6 phone records seized.

More people were deported under both Barack Obama and Joe Biden than under Trump. They both accomplished this without sending armed masked goons into the streets to harass, brutalize and murder American citizens.

It is hard to grasp but large masses of Americans are both racist/xenophobic AND not racist/xenophobic enough to applaud what Trump is doing. It's goldilocks shit, they want a level of racism/xenophobia calibrated exactly to their personal preferences, and you just can't make that policy. Don't try.

RAND PAUL: If a country bombed our air defense missiles, captured & removed our president, & blockaded our country, would that be considered an act of war?

PAUL: Of course it would be an act of war!
