Immigration/Border Security Policy Thread

I'm not a huge fan of Rapinoe and her shenanigans but that is a ridiculous reading of her expression after the kick. That was a textbook example of a "I can't believe I just did that" wry smile. She was probably on the edge of a breakdown like Sophia was.

I don't know what was going through her head (did she say what you said in a post game interview?) but at the very least the optics weren't good. Especially given the context of us losing the game.....

Didn't have to. One doesn't have to be a mind reader to see profound heartbreak in missing a game winner.

But if you're curious, she called the situation a "sick joke." That tracks. Say what you will about her, but she hates to lose and this will haunt her. Hopefully not too much because her career is a storied one.

On Tuesday, Bass again condemned Abbott for sending the buses.

"This evening, Los Angeles received another bus from Texas. That means that while we were urging Angelenos to stay safe, the Governor of Texas was sending a bus with families and toddlers straight towards us KNOWING they’d have to drive right into an unprecedented storm," Bass tweeted on X. "Evil."

My favorite part is that they said everything that means wall but the word wall.
