@marknelsoncomic It doesn’t show England winning, so at least they likely got that right.

Today on Yanks don’t have a fucking clue about football

From @TheAthleticFC: Hearts have been broken, but finally we know the identity of all 48 teams that will be at the 2026 World Cup. We ranked the teams from No. 1 to 48. Here's who is most likely to win it all in New Jersey on July 19. nyti.ms/4bXqNHd

If you’re under 55 and vote for this party you are an unfathomably large idiot.

🚨 WATCH: Nigel Farage formally commits to the state pension triple lock if Reform UK win the next election "The people to whom pensions are being paid, certainly compared to a younger generation today, are those who have actually worked and paid into the system"

Fun Fact: Mass deportations have created virtually no jobs for American workers. None.

CUT the defense budget. Not “slow increase” — cut it !
Bloomberg@business
Trump is preparing to release a 2027 budget plan that will frame his party’s midterms message around a massive defense buildup, partially paid for by cuts to domestic agencies and health-care entitlements bloomberg.com/news/articles/…

It is almost as if we’ve repeatedly said this would happen with the voucher scam
Senator Sarah Eckhardt@SarahEckhardtTX
Texans were sold on the notion that vouchers would serve the kids who needed them most to "escape" failing public schools. But now that applications are closed, the data shows 73% of applicants are already enrolled in private or home schools. We are hurtling toward an outcome that was predicted from the very start: a massive transfer of our public money into private hands with no accountability. #txlege

It's strange how Republican voters keep thinking Democrats increase the deficit.

The reasons government exists in the first place are to secure public health and the common defense. We’ve abandoned public health. We’ve mutated the common defense into a trillion-dollar-a-year abomination.
More Perfect Union@MorePerfectUS
The CDC has paused rabies, smallpox, and monkeypox testing for state and local public health departments amid drastic staff reductions. By July, the NYT estimates the rabies team will be down to one person, while the pox team will have none.

The federal government spends 6x in absolute dollars (and 10x per capita) on retirees versus kids and young adults.
Jessica Riedl 🧀 🇺🇦@JessicaBRiedl
New Penn-Wharton study shows per-capita federal spending on each age group: Seniors: $43,700 Children and young adults: $4,300. Clearly, the answer is to eliminate the FICA cap, use all "tax-the-rich" revenues on more SocSec & Medicare costs, and push that ratio to 15:1. 🙄

Yes quite literally we are in debt to ourselves. All money is just exchanges of debt. The entire ecobomy is built upon the idea that debt can be traded
Jum@JesterJum
The entire Earth is $348 trillion in debt. TO WHO?!?!? EACH OTHER??? If you took all of the money in the world....all of it....that would only be enough to pay back 1/3 of that debt!! Am I the only one who this makes absolutely no sense to???

Republicans agree that strict construction for constitutional amendments is wrong — we need to reassess in view of modern realities.
Big news for the Second Amendment crowd.
Doesn’t change 14th Amendment though ;)

The Supreme Court’s debate today: What did people who have been dead for 150 years intend for their law to mean for a modern situation they never conceived could ever occur?

You might think this claim seems too far fetched to be true. You'd be wrong.
Russ Greene@GreenPlusAnE
@PTBwrites On a per capita basis retirees receive 10 TIMES more than young people.
English
William retweetledi
“Retirees received the equivalent of about $43,700 per person — 10 times the amount that children and young adults received, at about $4,300 per person.”

@hamezhill @PotatoMcWhiskey Spending 4 GBP seems incredibly reasonable for dinner. Does this guy think people would just eat instant Ramen instead ?
English
Avocado toast and lattes getting downgraded to a Tesco meal deal in 'here's why you can't afford a house' twitter is the clearest measure of inflation there is.
Slimfit@iSlimfit
British people will spend £4 on a meal deal every single working day, never cook, never calculate the annual total and then wonder why they can’t save. £4 a day is £1,040 a year. Eaten in a park. Under grey skies. In a triangle sandwich. This is not judgement. Just observation.

If Trump and Stephen Miller’s immigration crackdown was really about law and order, why did Trump’s DOJ drop 23,000 criminal investigations this year?
Embezzlement.
Elder abuse.
Investment fraud.
All declined before a judge could hear a single case.
Meanwhile, DOGE claimed to be rooting out waste, fraud, and abuse. But more than 900 cases of federal program and procurement fraud went ignored, more than triple the rate of any recent president.
This is not law and order. It is selective enforcement in service of a political agenda.
Watch what they do, not what they say.

It took a almost a century for the United States to build a global system of trade, security, and cooperation, and these guys are going to throw it away because they screwed up and have to save face.

Hegseth indicates reopening the Strait of Hormuz is not a core US objective: "We've been willing to lead, President Trump has led the entire time, but it's not just us. You might want to start learning how to fight for yourself."
