Any politician who’s willing to throw away one group’s rights is willing to throw away everyone’s rights. It’s that simple. Every single consultant, pundit and candidate who’s shown a willingness to abandon trans rights needs to be shunned from the party forever

Choosing not to be annoyed by stupid low-level bullshit can be exhausting, even if it's (almost?) always the right thing to do.

First college and pro football season since switching to Threads as my primary social media and I can't hit "not interested" fast enough...

Good-faith concern on this issue would be going, "hmm, professional sports leagues should probably have some standards in place to ensure trans competitors aren't getting an unfair advantage," googling for 5 minutes, realizing every sports league already has those standards and dropping it.

This was the US in 2006, by the way. Only team not to lose to the eventual champions.

Sure the USMNT has blown the best opportunity ever to make soccer hugely popular in this country BUT tonight they have created an entire army of bitter cynical children who will feed the USMNT posting ranks for years to come

The one charitable thing I will say is that the Round of 16 is, in fact, quite hard.

I feel like Haaland pinging one off the far post from twenty yards out against Brazil is like when the Velociraptors in Jurassic Park figured out how to turn a doorknob.

Honestly, this is a better song for England after that match than Wonderwall. Captures the uptempo vibe and thematically appropriate. youtu.be/4_98jd4iRj0?...

Everything about this Balogun suspension reversal is ambiguous enough for everyone to claim it supports their opinion no matter what their opinion is. We continue to live in the stupidest timeline.

This was always likely to play out like a cup tie with a lower-division side with the exception being that the result doesn't matter. ##WorldCup2026 #USMNT

Throwback Thursday to my first "game 3 of the group stage." #WorldCup2026 #FIFAWorldCuo

After the 2022 World Cup Final, where Mbappé made his case to be the new top dog before Messi said "not yet," I could imagine a scenario where France goes farther in this tournament, giving Mbappé the chance to break Messi's new goal-scoring record. #WorldCup2026 #FIFAWorldCup

If you watch the Obama Library, the World Cup, and the Knicks parade this afternoon -- and nothing else -- you can actually see the America we're supposed to be at age 250

Old enough to remember being super impressed with Lionel Messi (and Carlos Tevez) for Argentina in the 2008 Olympics. Yes, he had already played (and scored) in his first World Cup by then, but I feel like those Olympics were his real coming-out party?

I assume that they're gonna make James Corden start every one of his "after hours" shows by pointing out that West Ham got relegated.

Canadian head coach Jesse Marsch is almost certainly the only participant in this World Cup who would recognize and remember me if I walked up to him and said hi. #cf97

Who is most likely to punch Alexi Lalas on air before this World Cup is over, Thierry, Zlatan or Rebecca?

maine, summarized: 1. graham platner sucks 2. he is going to win the primary 3. he is, still, probably going to win the general 4. he’s going to be better than susan collins, because even joe fucking manchin would be better than susan collins 5. we will need his vote to do reconstruction 2.0

Hey @theweek.com your email newsletters no longer render properly on mobile screens (as of Saturday by the looks of it) and I'm hoping this was a coding error and not a conscious decision.

Antonee Robinson with a clinical penalty at the end of the first half for Fulham. You could say it was a Jedi mind trick, which would make it the unlikeliest tie-in for The Mandalorian and Grogu. #fulhamfc

If you see this, post a concert photo you took

This PSG-Bayern semifinal is off to the races so far

If Kam Buckner gets this PILOT thing through Springfield and it ends up keeping the Bears in Illinois, does that give him a glide path if he runs for mayor of Chicago again?

They used to do this with 00s boy bands, which included a different cover on the front page of the website every day. I know this because I was in charge of web analytics and suggested killing off the member of N'Sync who had the fewest page views in my daily report to management.

CHICAGO FRIENDS! Come out to Montrose Saloon THIS SATURDAY as The Band Calderisi once again will be playing at the INTERNATIONAL POP OVERTHROW Festival. Part of a great night of music that starts at 7, and we're on at 8. #chicagomusicscene #powerpop #livemusic

It’s profoundly ignorant to suggest that the Pope should be fighting crime on behalf of the Catholic Church. Anyone who was remotely familiar with Roman Catholicism would know that that’s what Daredevil is for

Moving political conflict "off-axis" is a very high-leverage way for Democrats to win more House and Senate seats

Fulham, losing on a late goal to Southampton in the FA Cup back before everybody was doing it.

I feel like the next non-warmonger president is going to oversee a massive economic boom purely due to rebuilding military stockpiles. Which I get may not be the ideal growth engine but that doesn't mean it won't happen.
