WOW: "Some colder-market owners sought mitigation for expenses and loss of revenue that would come with the calendar flip, including renovations to stadiums and training facilities. Other owners in warmer markets pushed back on those requests, according to sources." www.nytimes.com/athletic/680...

The Trump administration is desperate to NOT food Americans. GET IT YET?!?! HE DOES NOT CARE ABOUT AMERICANS (unless you're rich)
This is insane. Trump is jumping through hoops to block SNAP. Follow the law, fund SNAP, and feed American families.

What line is too far? It may already be too late.
Donald Trump is weaponizing the Department of Justice against his political opponents. This is just the latest example. Everyone who cares about democracy and the rule of law needs to speak out loudly and clearly that this is wrong. www.democracydocket.com/news-alerts/...

So the #Rapids96 are now paying Paxten Aaronson, who identifies as a 6/8, as much as Djorjde, who was the #10 we needed, is now making at Toronto? AND they paid more for Paxten than we got for Djordje? Do I have that right?!? Someone convince me that Paxten WASN'T a panic buy that won't work out...

Corporate greed is literally killing this nation. It is past time to change the laws to ensure everyone working makes a living wage. If all these people starve to death, who will work their shitty jobs and buy their crappy products?!?!
The Walton family (who own Walmart) are worth over $400 billion, yet many of their employees are on SNAP.
Bezos is worth over $400 billion, many Amazon employees require SNAP.
The people who need help are not the problem.
It’s corporate greed. It’s an unwillingness to pay a living wage.

The ICC should charge Trump with war crimes, since it’s clear Congress isnt going to get its head out of its ass.
Trump has deployed an aircraft carrier to the Caribbean and launched a series of missile strikes that have killed dozens.
From Colombia to Mexico, leaders are calling it a war crime—and warning that the U.S. is reviving its old habit of gunboat diplomacy. Read the story here.

There is zero reason for ICE to have these weapons for their stated mission, therefore there is another mission being prepared for… maybe look into that @jayapal.house.gov ?!?

This is nuts. And we would like to know more about these "guided missile warheads."

ICE’s spending on weaponry has soared more than 700 percent this year
The $71.5 million spent so far has paid for guns and armor, chemical munitions, “guided missile warheads," and "explosive components.”

Thank you Colorado #Rapids96 for showing heart and fight in the final game of the season. It is unfortunate that so many other games this season didn't show this level. The Team falls just short of the stated goal of "perennial playoff team" (making two in a row is the bare minimum).
