"The Treatment of Iran’s World Cup Team Exposed the West's and FIFA's Double Standards"

Iran’s football captain was asked about LGBT rights. So, why then wasn’t the U.S. team captain asked about the U.S. bombing of the girls' school in Minab, asks Fatima Bhutto for Zeteo?

“Farage Whinges About a 'Media Pile-On'. The Truth Is, the Media Made Farage”

At every stage of his political career, the Reform UK leader has been helped on his way by the media machine he now affects to despise. And he is still manipulating them with ease.

"Lindsey Graham, Proud War Hawk, Has Died. Here He Is in His Own Words"

The South Carolina senator and staunch Trump ally, who passed away suddenly on Saturday night, wanted to 'level' Gaza and invade Cuba, joked about killing Ted Cruz, and salivated over bombing Iran.

The Arrested Tate Brothers Are Tied to the Trumps: Why Won’t Dems Exploit This?

The manosphere influencers, arrested in Florida on serious UK charges, including rape, treat the first family and top Republicans as friends. Plus: it looks like Maine has a successor to Platner.

Happy 250th birthday, America 🇺🇸 !

We continue the struggle for a ‘more perfect union.’

And I continue to agree with James Baldwin: “I love America more than any other country in the world, and, exactly for this reason, I insist on the right to criticize her perpetually.”

This is embarrassing

Aaron Rupar @atrupar.com

TAPPER: I know you don't want to talk about any other issues out of respect for Lindsey Graham, but we would love to have you back sometime bc I do have a lot of other questions TRUMP: Sure. We're trying to have CNN go on a normal path T: I'm on a normal path right here, sir TRUMP: Good. You are.
