Section 3 of the 14th amendment is very clear. Unfortunately, the blinkered United States Priestly Body of Constitutional Dictations (SCOTUS) disagreed.
There's an argument that Trump was constitutionally barred from holding federal office after Jan 6 and therefore all his public acts since then are void. He has spent the last year validating that notion every single day. Letting any of this stand and ~Moving On~ after it's over would be a mistake

2. South Jersey--I've spent most every summer of my life there since I was 2, one of my favorite places! I love some tasty pork roll, boardwalk pizza, local fried flounder (shout out Fish n Fancy!) and coffee/crumb cake

West Ham are so hapless and lost. This group deserves to go down.

IOC vs FIFA is the godzilla vs mothra of corrupt assholes
The IOC has barred Ukrainian Olympian Vladyslav Heraskevych from wearing a helmet featuring portraits of Ukrainian athletes killed by Russia at the 2026 Games.

He plans to formally appeal the decision.

Setting aside the performative patriotism, it’s hard to not get fired up by this. NASCAR is for everyone!

This year.

It’s the 9th of February.
During the night, "Naftogaz" Group facilities in the Poltava region came under fire. There were hits and damage to equipment, but, according to preliminary data, no people were injured.

This is already the 19th targeted attack on the company this year.

You all should read this man’s book: I Will Show You How It Was
Once this war ends, I’ll become an illegal squatter in the Chornobyl Exclusion Zone.

I will fence off my courtyard with barbed wire, and I’ll be spending my days writing about whales, Arctic exploration, and the Moon landing program, I'll be strumming Beatles tunes on my Telecaster...

Can someone explain why the flag color next to “GRAY” is red when the cars are literally driving on the screen?

This Clash situation is leading me to believe that we must bring The Clash to Thunder Road in Barre, Vermont.

Fam, we went from “solved in 24 hours” to “look how short the list of open items is after a year”

Ukraine deserves better than these clowns.
Rubio on Ukraine and Russia:

"If you look at the checklist of open items that existed at this time last year, and the checklist of open items that remain now in terms of reaching a peace agreement between Ukraine and Russia, that list has been substantially diminished."

one thing the trump era has made clear, i think, is that the american people themselves are far more committed to the values of our founding documents than our elites

I can’t believe it’s Wednesday and there is NASCAR racing happening today

This is a great read. Something that’s not mentioned but is relevant are the two biggest US motorsports leagues: NASCAR has the multi-platform streaming/cable model and it’s a mess. IndyCar, on the other hand, is on basic FOX for every race. The numbers don’t lie: IC viewer numbers are 🆙
Today's story from our Business of Sports issue is from me, on how it's becoming harder to be a sports fan.
Our love for our teams is monetized. Our stadiums and arenas have become gated communities. Now we're paying even to watch on TV. When will we say enough?
