We're 474 days out from the 2027 World Cup and Emma Hayes's squad is starting to come into focus. What a time to be a USWNT fan 🀩

Ford: Canadians' absence being felt on Hawaiian beaches and in shops Reading about the decline of Canadian tourism to the United States is one thing β€” to experience it in person is another.

The beach isn’t deserted, nor is the swimming pool. But the reality of what’s missing here in Hawaii is blatantly obvious. Given that tourism is this state’s largest industry, the damage is seen in closed shops and restaurants, and the absence of friends.

I call bullshit, just like most of the posters here. The BLS numbers are far more trustworthy and most certainly don't show "solid" growth in either jobs or pay.

I hate to sound like a geezer but the price of ground beef has become freaking ridiculous.

Green onions went up 10 cents this last week. A 24 pack of Coca-Cola is now 16.99 a dollar increase from last month.

Beef is absurd in price now.

Well, the other thing that should embarrass you is being so uninformed that you don't know Hawaii's economy is utterly dependent on tourism and is now in serious trouble as fewer "white people" (I assume you mean fellow U.S. citizens) bother to go there in the face of "native" hostility.

MarkWayne Mullin’s mother intended to change his name but they just left it that way. It wasn’t supposed to stay MarkWayne. His dad had the plumbing biz, MWM got govt contracts. Got busted for ethic violations in 2013. Oh yeah, he dropped out of trade school. He is a tRUMP puppet.

Sincere respect for, and condolences to the family of this brave man, Coast Guard Petty Officer 2nd Class Tyler Jaggers.

While i never needed your services over the many years sailing those waters, i knew you were there, and it made me feel better.

My thoughts are with the loved ones of Aviation Survival Technician Second Class Tyler Jaggers and all those serving at Air Station Astoria following his passing.

Coast Guard members put their lives on the line in unforgiving waters to keep our communities safe. We’re in their debt.

This is Coast Guard Petty Officer 2ndΒ Class Tyler Jaggers, an aviation survival technician based out of Astoria, Oregon.

He died Thursday after suffering critical injuries Feb. 27 during a rescue off the coast of Oregon, the Coast Guard says.

RIP.

Ben Stiller is calling out the White House after it used a clip from Tropic Thunder in a video promoting the Iran war.

β€œWe never gave you permission and have no interest in being part of your propaganda machine. War is not a movie,” Stiller wrote.

Louisville and Lexington players paused the USL Championship season opener for 60 seconds after kickoff, letting the clock run without play. A fearless show of unity from the USL Players Association as negotiations reach a critical stage. It’s time for the league to act. #StandUpForStandards

Former FDA heads, Sen Cassidy push back on FDA official’s claim of 10 COVID vaccine deaths β€œWe are deeply concerned by sweeping new FDA assertions about vaccine safety and proposals that would undermine a regulatory model designed to ensure that vaccines are safe, effective, and available,"...

It’s been more than 3 months since RFK Jr. appointee Vinay Prasad claimed, without evidence, that COVID19 vaccines killed 10 children.

Where are the peer-reviewed data, Prasad? Having a little bit of trouble finding someone who will publish scientific misinformation?

The Trump family has pocketed more than $4,000,000,000 from their crypto schemesβ€”using the office of the President to line their own pockets.

That’s why I wrote the End Crypto Corruption Actβ€”we need to stop this grift in its tracks.

Cryptocoins are a scam to benefit the rich. Goldman Sachs will buy up $0.00000001 coins on the game that it will become $0.000001 that they can sell. Avoid it. It's a pet rock for the corrupt.

When you put it like this, a $75 million bribe to Melania and gutting the Washington Post seems like a small price to pay.

DoJ cases against protesters keep collapsing as officers’ lies are exposed in court String of embarrassing defeats for prosecutors as experts condemn DoJ effort to cast people as β€˜violent perpetrators’

Because cops don't actually know the law and just do what they're told to do, or arrest ppl that irritate them (not an arrestable offense), or just lie like they always do.

Noem’s masked anonymous Federal agents have killed three Americans

They are illegally conducting surveillance of Americans exercising their First and Second Amendment rights

And they are arresting people who should not be arrested.

Since Proton Mail's sole claim to fame is privacy/anonymity, their willing release of identifying data to the FBI should be publicized far and wide. They're cowards and hypocrites.

Thomas Keller, owner of The French Laundry, has a lot to say about affordable housing in Yountville β€” in a region powered by farmworkers and restaurant workers.

The people who harvest the ingredients and keep kitchens running shouldn’t be forced into long commutes to sustain Napa’s success. (1/2)
