Love to see those Vancouver fans holding up their scarves at the red card. 🤌

Watching San Diego get dismantled has been so enjoyable

The Whitecaps are deservedly ahead in the Western Conference final, and they acquired their lead defender and midfield focal point for $525,000 in *total*.

Let the record show that I was on the right side of history and for voted Sørensen over Carnell for COTY.

So many of you could've voted Jesper Sørensen for Coach of the Year and chose instead to vote for the guy who was like "run as fast as you can and kick people."

I keep hearing how much more impressive the Eastern Conference was this year but NYCFC was clearly the team out of place among Vancouver, San Diego, NYCFC and Miami

Hope is so cruel
That is an absolute gut punch for Leeds. Were doing so well and then Foden has a moment of magic from outside the area, shooting through a crowd of bodies. #lufc

“Exclusive: Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth gave an order to “kill everybody” in the first strike on suspected drug boats in the Caribbean. After two men survived, the mission commander ordered a second strike to comply with Hegseth’s instructions, according to two sources.”

Good thing the NYTimes isn’t letting its readers know either.
Trump refuses to directly admit his administration granted the DC shooter asylum and then wraps up the press availability
November 28, 2025 at 12:37 AM
Does the NYTimes know they don’t need to frame a story the way DHS wants them to?
“Biden Asylum Cases” is NYT’s framing for a story pegged to a man who got asylum 3 months into the Trump administration

Another typical Kavanaugh stop
Miles, an Indigenous actor best known for her roles in “Northern Exposure,” “Smoke Signals,” “Wyvern” and “The Last of Us,” handed them her tribal ID from the Confederated Tribes of the Umatilla Indian Reservation in Oregon.

Yet, Miles recalled one agent calling it “fake.”
‘Northern Exposure’ actor gave ICE agents in Redmond her tribal ID. They called it ‘fake,’ she says
Indigenous actor Elaine Miles of "Northern Exposure" was detained by ICE at a Redmond bus stop. When she showed them her Tribal ID, they told her it was fake.

Every year there’s a million think pieces explaining how to navigate taking to your right wing relatives at Thanksgiving—but none of them address the elephant in the room: this is why the NFL has three games on today. No need to discuss politics with your uncle.

Leeds enjoyed relative success early this season by going long to Dominic Calvert-Lewin - so why did they stop?

Reuters reached out to everyone that Trump or his subordinates singled out publicly for retribution, and reviewed hundreds of official orders, directives and public records. The result: the most comprehensive accounting yet of his campaign of payback.
