Here is my one take on the 2026 World Cup draw.
The expanded draw will dilute the quality of group stage competition. Except for England's group, the top two of each is obvious. I see little opportunity for a suprise. One report call Group 1 the "group of death." I tried not to laugh out loud.

They are resigning because of this? They never needed to edit the documentary to say Trump encouraged the 1/6/2021 attacks. He explicitly did.

Preach.
Hey GOP in the spirit of bipartisanship, here’s how you stop the tidal wave:
1. Swear in Grijalva
2. Reopen govt and fund SNAP
3. Release the Epstein files
4. Stop the ICE raids
5. Repeal the tarriffs
6. Pass a bipartisan budget
7. Tell Trump this is his last term
8. Reverse gerrymandering.

The government shutdown has entered its 36th day, breaking the record as the longest ever and disrupting the lives of millions of Americans with federal program cuts, flight delays and federal workers nationwide left without paychecks.

I’m a US citizen and a veteran. ICE arrested me for no reason.
Jailed for three days without an explanation or ability to notify anyone, George Retes argues the only path to healing starts with the government taking accountability for its actions.

What a bitch fucking team. Nothing has changed with this squad. Whine. Moan. Complain. Overpaid children. Grow up. You will never get the calls at St James. Move on and actually play. Liverpool gives Arsenal a gift, and the club are to fucking it up again. Typical. #NEWARS #COYG I guess.

Telsa currently trades at around $426 with a P/E of $238. The book value of the stock is about $19. All risk no reward. Why even buy this crap?

I'm glad someone's saying it
Pritzker on Trump sending troops into cities: "He has other aims other than fighting crime... he would like to stop the elections in 2026 or frankly take control of those elections. He'll just claim there's some problem with an election and then he's got troops on the ground that can take control."

Everything the rich have ever wanted is being delivered, a further weakened labor movement, a gutted regulatory regime, a public sector being strangled in a puddle. The rest was hokum invented by academic scribblers searching for a logical rationale for the rich to be more dominant.
I'm totally baffled abt the markets. Where is Capital? Trump is messing w/ govt data; imposing tariffs; flirting w/ default; meddling in corporate management.
Where are the CEO complaints? The bond vigilantes? Where are billionaire hedge funders who trade on good data? Was Capital's power a mirage?
