Can’t argue with that logic in that context. Still international to me tho.

It is for me as an American πŸ˜‰ It was nearly impossible to find EFL (or any Euro football) on American tv outside world cup coverage until the early 2000s. We had to get international newspapers and football magazines to catch up until the internet and decent streaming.

Holy shit there are a lot of soccer haters on bsky. Wouldn't have thought that. I'm not among them, played as a kid and still love watching decades later. Used to be incredibly difficult to even find matches on tv in the 80s through late 90s. Saturday morning EPL is the best way to enjoy a coffee.

It will not go to the 5th Circuit. By law it goes straight to SCOTUS. Ron DeSantis is a moron.

When Texas tried to steal 5 seats, I said to watch the litigation my law firm had filed because we had a good chance of winning in court. Today a federal court BLOCKED THE MAP.

While the legacy media ignored our case, Democracy Docket covered it from gavel to gavel. Subscribe now. hubs.ly/Q03M8rql0

Hey Pam Bondi. This is John Mitchell. Gird your loins because you actually work for the people and not the president and you will eventually find out what that means.

No way. Bessent is β€œWe, we, we have a plan, I’m a farmer, you don’t understand”.

Nutlick is β€œeverything is about to go boom! Trump is the best!’

Hassett is β€œI just want to say it’s all fantastic, please believe me”

Kegsbreath would just say β€œBomb SCOTUS warrior ethos!”

Bondi can’t sneer in text

60 Minutes Obeys in Advance Read more here.

When I read the full transcript of the interview, I realized there had been no pushback, no corrections, no challenging follow-ups. The entire interview had been an open-ended opportunity for Trump to tell rambling lies, only to have them cleaned up into a more polished product.

I continue to wonder when Americans will decide enough is enough. As Frederick Douglass reminds us:

β€œSpeaker Johnson, many Americans are wondering why you’re unable to see or hear any developments in the news. Some are speculating that you were kicked in the head by a horse; others theorize that you’ve been huffing spray paint. Which is it?”

Every day, more details come out that show just how deep this plot to protect the wealthy and powerful goes.

They are being shielded from justice. Rep. Thomas Massie and I are fighting to bring them to justice and release the files.

Whenever people complain about the number of folks relying on food stamps, it is worth reminding them that SNAP is, by too large of a degree, a subsidy for corporations that refuse to pay a living wage and their political allies who reject public policy prescriptions to reduce income inequality.

Republicans bowed to pressure from Donald Trump to midcycle gerrymander at the expense of minority voters β€” only to be sued by my law firm within hours or days.

If they expect us to eventually give up and back down, they are sorely mistaken. www.democracydocket.com/opinion/repu...
