There is no sight that more efficiently puts the lie to immigration “court” than the common sight of children “representing themselves.” Children too small to climb into the chair, children in pajamas who don’t know where they are, children not yet old enough to speak.

“Today we cry, but it is proud tears.
The tears have to be proud because we have excited people in Vancouver, we have created something that people want to watch.”

Elon Musk is against the European Union being the European Union —he posted this after X (fka Twitter) was fined for violations of the EU’s Digital Services Act.

A neat thing about birthright citizenship is how it tests whether a person cares at all about the Constitution. There's no argument against it, birthright citizenship is the unambitious text, the obvious intent of the drafters, and the undisputed way it was followed for the past 150+ years.
I continue to think that Matty coming out against birthright citizenship a few months ago should have been taken as a major warning sign that the group chats have already decided to surrender on this.

A team full of stars, plus the greatest player of all time, just barely edge out the Vancouver Whitecaps for #MLSCup.

A game of inches — specifically, inches one way or another on a goal post. Vancouver have nothing to be ashamed of. They were the better team today. But Miami, as they do, get it done. #MLSCup

There’s something about this tech that makes me feel like I’m on a second rate version of Star Tours for soccer (laudatory).
The Ref Cam at MLS Cup Final is very, very cool.
This is the tech in soccer we love.

Already prepping my ultra-annoying "those Miami players couldn't even score a single goal against Vancouver" if this result holds.

The Yoshida to V-Varen Nagasaki rumors are actually kinda fun!
I’ve loved Maya at #LAGalaxy, but wouldn’t be crushed to lose him — and it’d be so cool for Nagasaki to get a big name for their J1 run.

Ahem:
Said this IRL a couple months ago, but: my prediction is Marc Dos Santos winds up #LAFC's next coach. He's a "company man," and knows how Thorrington wants the team to play.
I could see a flashier signing overriding him, but I bet he's the default.

First, let's dispense with the theater: the question of whether DOGE "still exists" as a formal entity completely misses the point. The always-misleadingly-named "Department of Government Efficiency" was never really about efficiency. It was Elon Musk's excuse to gain access to the federal government's fundamental systems and wreak havoc, Twitter-style—smashing anything that got in his way, enriching his allies, and dismissing any consequences with a wave of his hand.

Corporate Dem Rep Henry Cuellar & his wife were indicted in March 2024 for accepting hundreds of thousands in foreign bribes.
Trump just pardoned them.
Hakeem Jeffries is praising Trump’s decision as “exactly the right outcome” & praising Cuellar as “a beloved member of the House.”
Ridiculous.😐
