Scary scenes out of D.C. as Trinity Rodman limped off in tears against Monterrey. Spectators report she was unable to put any weight on her right leg. The Spirit forward had only recently returned to play a nearly 4 month absence due to a back injury. Wishing for a swift and full recovery ❤️‍🩹

Anytime any reporter asks something that hints at any wrongdoing by a member his party, who is also a member of the organization that he purports to lead, Mike Johnson hasn’t seen or heard of it. He seems to be a Federal employee who’s very bad at his job.

Q: A judge in Florida issued a restraining order against Cory Mills for threatening and harassing his ex-girlfriend. Do you think this is an ethical violation?

MIKE JOHNSON: I have not heard or looked into the details of that. I've been a little busy.

HT: #usmnt 1-1 Australia. US bounces back after a slow start that saw Australia go ahead 1-0. That seemed to wake the US up from its lethargy and then equalize through Wright. Not sure why US isn't trying to get behind more as the space is there. Some heavy challenges by Australia got US fired up.

As the old saying goes

“you can’t leave it to the ref”

I think the ref has missed a couple of calls in this one though…

Vamos #USMNT!

Hope to see our players’ confidence grow, a lot of the game is mental/ attitudenal, right?

Gimme that Diego Luna substitution in the second half

I see Sadio Mané got a brace for Senegal in their 4-0 win in WCQ today.

Love that guy

USMNT international windows usually involve two match locations.

The March 2026 window is looking more and more likely to be one: Atlanta.

🗣️Jürgen Klopp on Florian Wirtz:

“He is a once-in-a-century talent and at some point, he’ll show that in every game again, as he did at Leverkusen.” 🇩🇪 🔴

He would have turned in the family hiding Anne Frank.

A tweet by Bill Melugin reads: “Regardless of how one feels about immigration policy, according to U.S. law, this is a felony. Harboring of aliens. 8 USC 1324.”

A tweet from Laura N. Rodríguez Presa reads: “During a military-style raid on a building in Chicago’s South Shore, one resident heard a knock on his door. It wasn’t the feds — it was a mom and her 7-year-old daughter, pleading for help. He let them hide in his unit for the next 3 days.”
