You can't blame Ed Sheeran for caving in to American stadium owners I suppose. I mean, take these guys in the 60s, they refused to play to racially-segregated audiences in stadiums in the southern states of the USA and who remembers them now?

There were still 2 justices who voted in favor of Trump influencing the election, which the Constitution makes very clear he has ZERO ability to do so.
I think we all know who those 2 were just by guessing.

We @democracydefendersfund.org were proud to file a brief in support of this outstanding outcome for LULAC & working with CLC
Also a VERY important signal of how Trump's other election sabotage efforts will be treated

If you have a problem with Mayor Mamdani attending the 9/11 ceremony you’re simply a racist piece of shit, I’m sorry, that’s on you, you’re gonna have to live with that until you figure out how to be a better human being
This is somehow still going, and it’s not just a few random families now; it’s also a former mayor of NYC and governor of New York. There is, again, no way to reason to argue Mamdani shouldn’t attend this commemoration that isn’t fundamentally bigoted

My gosh. Fetterman pretended to be sick to avoid meeting three paralyzed veterans from rural PA…and then went to do a Fox interview on Israel.
He agreed to meet a lawmaker who drove from PA to talk about homeless and working people…and then bailed & met pro-Israel Bruce Pearl.
