We are more lucky than anything. The biggest road block to FIFA and Infantino's plan is being put up by the last organization to try and pull a stunt like this.
Tom BogertThe most positive takeaway from this FIFA / private investment scandal? WE HAVE A VOICE. We are not powerless to stupid change dictated by — and serving — the power brokers of the global soccer and collective financial bottom lines. Well done to UEFA for being the first to step up.
I wrote about how immigration arrests are at all-time highs, even as ICE is trying to assume a lower public profile. How are they doing this? Look to your local police.
ICE’s Secret Weapon Is in Your CommunityWhile attempting to maintain a relatively lower profile, ICE is managing to arrest record numbers of people. Here’s how it’s doing that.newrepublic.com
Won't meet a nicer guy nor a better defender. Well-deserved award for our captain.

The midterms can't get here fast enough. At least this one aspect of the upcoming elections is going well and keeping Trump in check.
Democracy DocketTrump’s DOJ suffered its 18th consecutive loss in New Jersey as part of its nationwide crusade to force states to turn over sensitive voter data.
