Especially the majority of the press corps in attenance - who happen to be men

Lots of hate and cowardice on display here.
Would it kill somebody to say “Nancy is not stupid.” It pains me to see the WH press corps just accept the abuse. Sends the wrong image to Americans and the world IMHO.

If this leads to #CPL into downtown Toronto it'll be good for the CPL, Good for Canadian football, & actually good in the long term for #TFC

I'm a "lapsed" Y9 SSH from year one and a year one current TFC SSH. I want the Reds to know that if they price people out of BMO Lamport is steps away!

Putin told reporters that the fighting will end when Ukrainian forces withdraw from the territories they currently hold.

three name changes in six years does not hide the fact that until they move from that dreadful stadium (location makes it dreadful) this will NEVER WORK!!!

Happy Inter Toronto Eve to all who accidentally celebrated.

Struck me today that the first time I saw #CANMNT play was in 1985 (and we qualified for World Cup 86) - 40 yrs ago!

I could'nt comprehend any future that would allow me to see them play at a World Cup match in my stadium in my country.

This means the WORLD to me!
Can't hardly wait

I'm from small town Newfoundland originally. Remember seeing a blue whale once

as big as a submarine

what magnificent creatures they are - they NEED to survive
Blue Whale songs dropped 40%; a signal that they’re starving & that we’re on the verge of ecosystem collapse. I know some y’all don’t wanna hear it, but the only response should be to go #vegan. It’s not somebody else’s problem. While you’re doing your boycotts, be sure you boycott what matters. 🌱🐋☯️

I swore an oath to the Constitution in 1986. I've upheld it through 25 years of service and every day since I retired.

If Trump's trying to intimidate me, it won’t work. I’ve given too much to our country to be silenced by bullies who care more about power than the Constitution.

This shouldn’t be the story of Valour FC.

But Wade Miller and WFC didn’t care, they let the club spiral without giving even half a look.

Valour’s sad demise should be attributed to nobody but Miller and Co.

Today Doug Ford and his government passed Bill 60: a vindictive attack that puts renters at greater risk and deepens Ontario’s housing crisis.

They also voted against my motion to strengthen tenant protections and bring back real rent control.

What an amazing day for Arsenal and for Eberechi Eze. Incredible for him in any context, but with his history, his journey, it's just really, really special.

Also a massive win, and a statement/fuck off win in this title race after the results yesterday

Huge day, lots of fun to be had after this!

If they just could have found a way to become competitive instead of being a day one doormat they might have been able to make it.
Having your club fold instills an unsettling, deviant strain of anger and powerlessness that you don't quite know what to do with, and can't simply shake off, even if you saw it coming.

I'm so sorry, Winnipeg.

The US has to understand, it's not the fact that Trump was re-elected that shattered the reputation of the US. It was the fact that he could be re-elected. The US has fallen to Banana Republic status, and it will take a whole restructuring to change that.
