this *is* the story, this is the *whole* story
"The White House has released few details on the project’s funding — and has not sought permission from Congress, which is empowered with authorizing all federal spending." is in the story
President Trump’s plan to build a White House ballroom has underscored an overlooked aspect of presidential power: no one could stop him.

“Our hands are tied,” Rebecca Miller, executive director of the D.C. Preservation League, said.

Ok, let's say you accidentally got a nazi tat. Would you not break the speed limit driving to the shop to get it covered up the second you found out

My sincere hope for the Mariners is that every move they make from now to Opening Day is marked by new ambition. You just got your teeth kicked in, but you were a bad pitching change away from your first World Series, and in a year when much of your rotation was banged up. Go get better.

I can't really explain fully why this is the thing of all things that got my jaw on the floor but I guess it's such a literal symbol and also such a jaw dropping amount of money while small businesses are struggling to survive the tariffs

Such a visible "go fuck yourself"
Scoop: Trump has started demolishing the White House's East Wing facade to build his ballroom. The president had claimed construction of the $250 million building wouldn’t ‘interfere’ with the existing White House structure. /W @ddiamond.bsky.social wapo.st/4hqBNiU

Grant's 1996 Princeton senior thesis is all about the connections between soccer & politics [in Argentina]. While working on it, he received anonymous threats & had his laptop stolen. In his professional work, he showed us what a corrupt enterprise FIFA is & continues to be.
Believe it or not, I have colleagues who think teaching a class about Sport is not “academically meaningful” when stories like this pop up just about every day.

There are not enough hours in a 5 credit college course to even scratch the surface of the issues inherent in sporting culture.
La Liga asked broadcasters not to show player protests against game in the U.S.

Remember April 2009 when about 250,000 people took to America’s streets in Tea Party rallies and the media was like “oh man, the Dems are in trouble?” Approximately 28X as many people took to the streets to protest Trump yesterday. Didn’t even make the NYT front page.
In April of 2009 I observed the Tea Party rally in Salem. As this front page story says, there were a couple hundred people there. This past weekend in Salem there were roughly 2-3000 people at the Hands Off rally. Yet the Tea Party coverage seemed to take that event far more seriously.
LARGE EXCELLENCE
