@PeteRicketts Keeping men out of girl Sports as a matter of electing Republicans to continue ruining our government
English

Kallie Keeler's story is a reminder that the consequences of bad policy are real.
Keeping men out of girls' sports isn't just about fair competition. It's about protecting the safety and dignity of every girl who steps onto a field, court, track, or wrestling mat.
Girls should never have to bear the consequences of policies that fail to protect them.

NEW: Pope Leo XIV stood beside Cindy McCain — John McCain's widow — at the U.N. World Food Programme on Monday and told the world’s governments they have learned to feed their wars faster than they feed hungry children.
Within hours, MAGA influencers were comparing the first U.S.-born pope to Joseph Stalin and Mao Zedong. thelettersfromleo.com/p/why-did-pope…

“There is no way to respect the human dignity of 10,000 men, women and children jammed into a warehouse jail,” Brent Ward writes in an op-ed. “By definition, the idea is insane and inhumane. It is contrary to Utah’s values. It is not who we are.” sltrib.com/opinion/commen…

Brilliant!
“Trump, the peacemaker.” - Jonathan Pie
“Back to you, Sophie.
Thank you. It's interesting, isn't it, that Trump signed this deal in Versailles, you know, the location of another famous humiliating, total capitulation. But you know, of course, Trump will spin this as a massive success because he's got form in declaring he's won when clearly he hasn't.
But this war was a success in the same way that paying $14 million to have large chunks of blue paint floating in an algae-infested reflecting pool was money well spent.
The truth is, the United States has rarely looked weaker, and Iran has rarely looked stronger, having now worked out that if anyone doesn't do exactly what they want them to, they'll just close the Strait of Hormuz, and they've got the whole world by the bullbags.
We went from week one: "I will win. Victory will be easier than that time I kidnapped the president of Venezuela."
To week two: "I won."
To week three: "Why aren't you helping me win?"
To week four: "I don't need your help to win, but if you don't help me win, I'm going to destroy NATO."
Week five: "If you don't let me win, I'll annihilate an entire civilization."
It's quite a feat to give the Iranian regime the moral high ground, but luckily, Donald Trump shattered the illusion of American morality a long time ago.
Week six: "We're winning, and to prove it, here's an AI picture of me dressed as Jesus.”
Week seven: "The Pope is a soy-filled, woke, Guardian reader."
Week eight: "I'm getting bored now."
Weeks nine through to 14: "Really bored now, and I've got ballrooms to build and cage fights on the White House lawn to organise."
And four months later, victory!
Thank you very much, where's my peace prize?
And if the rest of the G7 can just clear up the mess and pay the bill, that would be great.
The outcome was always inevitable, but you know, it's been fun to watch.
Most of Trump's posts on Truth Social around the conflict have sounded less like the leader of the free world and more like a 14-year-old boy who's the only one left in the class not to have fingered anyone.
One particular highlight being on Easter Sunday, when Trump went on to Truth Social to write, "Open the fucking strait, you crazy bastards."
Which are the words of a true diplomat with supreme control of the situation.
He then spent some time at the White House Easter Egg Roll, where he gave a speech to a bunch of bemused primary school children about how he's thinking of starting World War III in Iran and Joe Biden's auto-pen.
But this conflict hasn't all been plain sailing. Trump got really angry with the UK, and Spain, and Canada, Australia, Italy—in fact, anyone who raised any objections to this gross example of imperial overreach was branded a coward.
It was as if he felt like we should all be grateful that his latest piece of American expansionism didn't involve making Canada the 51st state or carpet bombing the sleepy village of Greenland.
Perhaps if you want your allies to be good allies, then maybe start treating us like allies. Don't bully your allies, or slam illegal tariffs on your allies, or interfere with their elections by overtly promoting far-right parties across Europe whilst hurling insults at our leaders and threatening to invade Allied sovereign territory, and then demand we come to your aid just because you started a war because one, Benjamin Netanyahu told you to, and two, to distract from the fact that you appear in the Epstein files more times than Jesus is mentioned in the Bible.
But at least someone did all right out of this whole thing. Well, for me, the highlight of the whole shit show was the $2.1 billion in bets placed minutes before presidential announcements about the war in Iran.

Yesterday, for the first time in a long time, I felt something that has become unfamiliar: pride. Watching the living presidents gathered together reminded me that our story is bigger than any single administration, election, or demagogue.

Let’s talk about the World Cup.
Thanks to @POTUS Trump’s vision, this event is MASSIVE for our nation — 78 Super Bowls in just 38 days.
We’re facing some threats we’ve never seen before — including drones. @DHSgov components have come together with our partners to create one of the largest national drone defense systems.
We’ll continue working around the clock to ensure every match is secure and every fan is kept safe.

@PeteRicketts Yeah cuz the New York Post is a reliable source of information

About a quarter of the cost of a new home isn't lumber or labor. It's federal regulation.
Homebuyers pay that hidden tax before they ever pick out paint colors. The ROAD to Housing Act strips out the federal barriers that make a home cost more than it should.
Less red tape means lower costs and more families owning a home.

Pray with me
June 19, 2026
Heavenly Father,
When my heart is troubled, remind me that You are my refuge and strength, an ever-present help in times of trouble. When fear whispers lies and circumstances seem overwhelming, help me remember Your faithfulness. You have never failed me, never abandoned me, and never broken a promise.
Lord, bring to my mind the victories You have already given, the prayers You have already answered, and the grace You have already poured out upon my life. Let me not be consumed by what I cannot control, but anchored in the truth of who You are.
Like David, who strengthened himself in the Lord his God, teach me to preach Your truth to my own soul. When I am weak, remind me that You are strong. When I am discouraged, remind me that You are sovereign. When I am weary, remind me that those who hope in the Lord will renew their strength.
I declare today that You are my Shepherd, my Defender, my Provider, and my King. My confidence is not in my ability, my resources, or my circumstances. My confidence is in You.
Fill me with courage for today's battles, wisdom for today's decisions, and peace for today's uncertainties. Let my heart be steadfast because my eyes are fixed on You. May I walk forward in faith, knowing that the God who was with me yesterday is with me today and will be with me tomorrow.
I will not surrender to despair. I will not bow to fear. I will encourage myself in the Lord, for You are worthy of my trust and worthy of my praise.
In the mighty name of Jesus,
Amen
