Time for my hobby horse again: it’s so weird and fucked up that the man exercising the powers of the American presidency has absolutely no knowledge of or attachment to American culture at any level.
Trump: "When you look at football in the US, soccer -- we seem to never call it that, because we have a little bit of a conflict with another thing that's called football. But when you think about it, shouldn't it really be called football? We have to come up with another name for the NFL stuff."

We were told for so long that there shall be no politics in the football.
In fact, we were told that exactly by Gianni Infantino's predecessor.
And I am told on a regular basis by countless Philadelphians to stick to sports.
So, who's not sticking to sports these days.

There is a very serious point to be made here on a mere football organisation publicly pushing such politicised interpretations of global diplomatic deals and talks.

I know it's too easy to grow numb to the constant flood of bigotry that comes out of his mouth but it does seem morally important you don't allow yourself or anyone else to become desensitized to this vile racism as a normal part of our politics
Trump on Somalis: "We're gonna go the wrong way if we keep taking in garbage into our country. Ilhan Omar is garbage. She's garbage. Her friends are garbage."

It certainly appears that the United States government is run by neo-Nazis.
Exclusive: The U.S. Coast Guard will no longer classify the swastika, nooses and the Confederate flag as hate symbols.
The military service drafted a new policy that classifies them as “potentially divisive.”

Just thinking out loud, but MLS moving to a winter calendar leaves a gaping summer sports vacancy in Columbus. We need a WNBA team more than ever.

All jokes aside, I love that three of the most powerful Republicans in the country dragged a single member of Congress into the Situation Room, spent the day turning on the juice but couldn't shake anything loose. Love to see them come away from that empty handed.
the key error was letting Boebert sit in those leather chairs they've got in the situation room- in theater seating there's no way she'll release her grip

LET ME BE PERFECTLY CLEAR: DOJ DID ALL OF THIS TO TRY AND STOP PAYMENTS TO PEOPLE UNDER AN ANTI-HUNGER PROGRAM.
Oh, this is wild.
DOJ went to SCOTUS *before* we got the First Circuit's administrative stay denial. (We know this because DOJ just filed a letter at SCOTUS about the admin stay denial.)
So, DOJ went to SCOTUS b/c the First Circuit did not meet its less-than-seven-hour "deadline" for a ruling.

The factional grifters will hate this, but the Mamdani-Spanberger-Sherrill axis actually suggests the outlines of a broad, emerging Dem coalition organized around both anti-Trump *and* affordability politics, not a party bitterly divided against itself.
These big wins will embolden Dems to take on Trump's lawbreaking and show there's a price for GOP enabling of him. Folks hate to hear this, but normal patterns are asserting themselves: Liberalism isn't dead, Rs are likely to lose in 2026, and Trump is really unpopular, not a magical exception.
