??? UEFA says kick off is at 3 PM ET, not 5 PM.

Hopefulness can be hard to come by these days — that probably makes it all the more important.

It's bad for any club to lose their key guy for 3 weeks. With DCU it is catastrophic. There is a real dearth of talent on our downtrodden club.

I imagine he was very interesting! R.I.P.

The Wright Brothers book was outstanding. I also quite enjoyed '1776' and 'John Adams.'

Great book! And author (I've read several books of his).

Opinion | I’m a Russian Scientist in ICE Detention (Gift Article) I was detained at Logan airport after I did not complete a customs declaration for frog embryos.

A Russian biologist — here LEGALLY — was arrested & has been incarcerated for 3 months. Her science could extend healthy lifespans & help treat Alzheimer’s and cancer. This is not only cruel but will result in the world's best & brightest going elsewhere. This hurts us all. dub.sh/ScientistDetained

YouTube video by Jeffrey Franco Chesapeake Kayak Camping Weekend 2025

Adventures on the lower Chesapeake (VA eastern shore) — a premium east coast sea kayaking spot. Amazing videography by Jeffrey Franco!

Not pictured: The 15-20 mph hour winds we had at the start. After that challenging 1st hour things went swimmingly; the winds calmed down and the weather was great.

😂 Don't you think if thousands people were being paid to protest that eventually some Republican operatives would be able to sneak into a "paid" protest and expose it by showing the checks they got or the deposits to their accounts?

Come on, man. Think through that ridiculous allegation.

Every reporter there should decline to ask another question until she either answers that one or explicitly says that she will not answer it.

Large protests matter (that's why they're banned under authoritarian regimes). Still, ONE event, no matter how big, will not change things UNLESS it's the start of sustained public pressure. As the economy craters these will get bigger and moderate R's in Congress will feel real anti-Trump pressure.

I despise Musk but any sane person should oppose torching Teslas. It's a crime and it's dangerous.

Demonstrate. Speak out. Contact your reps. Vote. Civil disobedience.

Give it a rest.

Editor-in-Chief Jeffrey Goldberg was understandably concerned it wasn't real. He thought the texts might be “part of a disinformation campaign, initiated by either a foreign intelligence service, or, more likely, a media-gadfly organization” seeking to embarrass journalists.

I share the sentiment but I reflexively cringe when anyone states anything that "real Americans" believe (even though I do think the vast majority of us support Canada).

I don't like it when the other side says it, and still don't like when we say it. No one gets to say which Americans are "real."

No. We absolutely do not need violence. That would be a mistake of historic proportions.

Many on their side would be happy to to have an excuse for a violent crackdown to accelerate their move to complete authoritarianism. Remember, they have control of all the levers of governmental power.

Thanks, Steve.

"What you are seeing is a president who ran for re-election to avoid prosecution and to get revenge on people he accused of stealing the 2020 election. He never had a coherent theory of the biggest trends in the world today and how to best align America with them to thrive..." dub.sh/Friedman-on-...

Can someone explain what you are referring to? What did Arriola do?

The destruction of the Washington Post continues. 😡

Come on now. I think very highly of Rachel Maddow‬ but I imagine even she would say there are other legitimate voices on the left in media/analyis/opinon who we should be also be watching, listening to or reading.

Sometimes the cost-savings buying life-altering drugs online is the only way to afford them. Tragically, it's a values trade-off — two competing important ethical/economic priorities (supporting local businesses vs affordable medication).

Just one more way that the American healthcare system sucks.

$$$ 😡

I really hate FIFA.

Trump administration plans to cut 80,000 employees from Veterans Affairs, according to internal memo The Department of Veterans Affairs is planning an “aggressive” reorganization that includes cutting 80,000 jobs from the sprawling agency.

This will decrease the quality & availability of medical care, mental health services & disability compensation. It will also affect veteran homelessness & suicide prevention. Since 1/3 of VA employees are vets themselves it will increase vet unemployment.

This is a betrayal.

Norwegian fuel supplier refuses U.S. warships over Ukraine Haltbakk Bunkers will cease supplying fuel to U.S. forces in Norway and American ships docking in Norwegian ports, citing dissatisfaction with recent U.S. policy towards Ukraine.

Seems to be true, and yeah, good for them. I hope this is just the beginning of people push back. ukdefencejournal.org.uk/norwegian-fu...

Always the public hand-ringing from Murkowski...and then she falls line with her MAGA-controlled party.

Editors are so unnecessary. Just ask Bezos. 😂

Well, done, Matt.

FAA targeting Verizon contract in favor of Musk’s Starlink, sources say Turning the $2.4 billion project over to Musk’s company would be a major test of conflict-of-interest rules in government contracting.

WashPost: "Who’s looking out for the public interest here when you get the person who’s cutting budgets and personnel from the FAA, suddenly trying to benefit from still another government contract?"

This is an egregious violation of conflict of interest rules meant to protect taxpayers. #Oligarchy

I happen to think Pete Buttigieg is a brilliant guy, but these ideas don’t require brilliance—just basic competence in governance.

There is no end to the lies. This is simply outrageous incompetence and corruption on display.
