Tonight's Cardiff City news as Warnock says club have made mistake and star linked with exit These are the Cardiff City stories making headlines on Monday, July 14. Former Cardiff City boss Neil Warnock (Image: Robbie Jay Barratt - AMA/Getty Images ) These are your Cardiff City headlines on Monday, July 14. Warnock: Cardiff have made a mistake Former Cardiff boss Neil Warnock says the Bluebirds have made a mistake in letting Joe Ralls leave the club. City stalwart Ralls announced his departure last month after a 15-year stay in the Welsh capital. Ralls held talks with new boss Brian Barry-Murphy before he left, and the decision to allow the club legend to leave was a big call, something which Warnock thinks might be the wrong one. Join the Cardiff City breaking news and top stories WhatsApp community Warnock thinks their efforts to get out of League One will be tougher than some may think. 'I don't think it will be straightforward to get out,' said Warnock when speaking to The Athletic. 'It's why I believe Cardiff have made a mistake in allowing Joe Ralls to go. Joe has still got a lot to offer at 31. Article continues below 'Whether it was out of the manager's hands or not, I don't know, but I'd certainly have looked to keep him. The manager would have had a big ally on the field.' The Bluebirds, currently in Spain on a pre-season training camp, have yet to make a signing so far this summer. The third tier awaits next month but Warnock is under no illusion on where Cardiff should be playing their football. 'Cardiff is a big club,' added the 76-year-old. 'As a city, it could easily sustain Premier League football. You look at clubs like Leicester and Southampton, who've had lengthy spells up there. To me, Cardiff are on that level as a club, or should be.' Tsunoda linked with exit Japanese journalist Kazu Kakiuchi reports that Yokohama F Marinos are closing in on a move for Ryotaro Tsunoda. The centre-back has endured a torrid 18 months since signing for the Bluebirds and reports now suggest he will now be heading back to his former club. During his time with Cardiff he has spent two spells with KV Kortrijk and suffered an extremely troublesome hamstring injury. Kakiuchi wrote on X: "#YokohamaFMarinos Moving to acquire Cardiff's DF #RyotaroTsunoda from England's 2nd division, a versatile left-footed CB (Sponichi Annex)." An article on Sponichi Annex states "negotiations are going well" for a "permanent transfer" for Tsunoda. Colwill: Move helped me learn Joel Colwill says he learned a great deal from his loan spell with Exeter City last season. Colwill spent two stints away from Cardiff last term, firstly at League Two side Cheltenham, next with the League One outfit The Grecians. He netted nine goals for the Robins and although he didn't manage to net during his time at St James Park, the 20-year-old says the experience was invaluable. Sign up to our daily Cardiff City newsletter here. "The loan spells were both really good for my development," he said. "The staff at Cheltenham Town were brilliant with me, I scored my first professional goals there, and I learnt a lot about my positional play. "Going up to League One, I didn't score the goals that I would have liked at Exeter City, but I probably learned more from my loan there. I played 20 games of League One football, and now I've got some experience. "A lot of the lads have played in the Championship or higher, but they haven't played in League One, and it can be a bit different. Hopefully me and Kingy [Eli King] can use our experiences to help the team." Colwill got on the scoresheet during Cardiff's win over Southend in Spain at the weekend. The youngster says he hopes to contribute more this coming season and picked out a relationship he hopes will flourish. "I'm really happy to score," Colwill added. "The goal came from the team pressing hard, Ollie [Tanner] played a nice pass in, and it was nice to score. "In the heat, it's been hard, but we've still got another couple of weeks left of pre-season to get fitter, so it should get easier as we go on. "I do really enjoy peeling out wide, trying to slip Ollie in, working with him and making runs off him. The goal today, he's played me in, so it's nice to have a relationship with a wide player, making runs off each other. The half-space out there, I think you can get a lot of the ball, so I'm hoping to get a lot of it and score more goals." Goutas gets new club Dimitrious Goutas has signed for Turkish club Genclerbirligi. The centre-back left Cardiff last month upon the expiry of his contract. He has signed a two-year deal with the Super Lig outfit. A short statement on the Turkish side's website read: "Our team signed a contract with Greek defender Dimitrios Goutas. "As part of the new season transfer process, our Red-Blacks have reached a 2-year agreement with Dimitrios Goutas, who last played for Cardiff. "Goutas, who started his football career in his home country of Greece, played for Skoda Xanthi, Olympiakos, Kortrijk, St. Truiden, Lech Poznan, Atromitos, Sivasspor and Cardiff respectively. "Goutas, who played 410 matches in his career, contributed 5 goals and 3 assists in 84 matches for Sivasspor, where he played in our country.

Trump administration reverses course on DOGE-driven closure of water science center
Chattahoochee Riverkeeper Jason Ulseth leads a team in monitoring water quality and groundwater levels along a river that provides drinking water to millions of Georgians. Photo contributed by Chattahoochee Riverkeeper The U.S. Geological Survey's South Atlantic Water Science Center in Norcross will remain open following backlash over the Department of Government Efficiency's proposal to terminate the lease. The U.S. Department of the Interior announced this week that the center will not have its lease terminated in order to continue critical water quality testing along the Chattahoochee River, which supplies drinking water to millions of Georgians. Interior Acting Assistant Secretary Tyler Hassen sent letters this week informing the Georgia U.S. Sens. Jon Ossoff and Raphael Warnock of the decision. Earlier this year, the Elon Musk-led DOGE listed the property among 164 Interior buildings and offices under consideration for closure as part of its campaign to reduce government spending. The DOGE website previously projected the federal government would save $1.3 million by not renewing the lease for the Norcross center. This spring, Warnock and Ossoff urged the feds not to eliminate vital work that includes monitoring E. coli bacteria and flood levels throughout Georgia, North Carolina and South Carolina. 'In some cases, the department took action to reverse a termination due to the critical nature of the mission, unavailability of alternative, cost-effective solutions, or the specialized nature of the facility,' Hassen wrote. 'You will be pleased to know that the GSA rescinded the termination of the USGS lease in Norcross, Georgia.' Hassen, a former Texas oil executive, served on Musk's DOGE team and is awaiting Senate confirmation for his new role with the Department of the Interior. For several years, the Norcross water science center has worked with Chattahoochee Riverkeeper on the BacteriALERT program, which provides live updates to the public of the amount of E. coli contamination in the river. 'Chattahoochee Riverkeeper is pleased that the Department of the Interior has reversed the termination of the lease for the USGS South Atlantic Water Science Center,' Chattahoochee Riverkeeper Jason Ulseth said Friday. 'We thank Senators Ossoff and Warnock for their leadership and are grateful for their work to ensure this vital resource remains in place for all who depend on it.'

Democrats join faith leaders to denounce Trump's budget bill
June 10 (UPI) -- Democratic senators joined hundreds of faith leaders on the Capitol steps Tuesday in Washington, D.C., to denounce SNAP and Medicaid cuts in President Donald Trump's massive budget proposal. The event -- called the "Moral Budget Vigil" and organized by the Georgetown University Center on Faith and Justice, Sojourners, Skinner Leadership Institute and the National African American Clergy Network -- included prayers, song and scripture. A meeting with Democratic senators followed. Democratic Sen. Raphael Warnock of Georgia, who is also a reverend at Ebenezer Baptist Church in Atlanta, criticized the budget for "giving wealthy people a tax cut." "Show me your budget and I'll show you who you think matters and who does not -- who you think is dispensable," Warnock said. "My mind and my imagination and my heart had been arrested by the heartbeat of children who should not lose their food and who should not lose healthcare in order to give wealthy people a tax cut." The budget, which the White House calls the "Big, Beautiful Bill," cleared the U.S. House in May by a narrow margin. It would make Trump's 2017 tax cuts permanent and could add trillions to the national debt, according to analysts. Faith leaders claim the bill would also cut Supplemental Nutrition Assistant Program -- or SNAP -- and Medicaid coverage for millions of low-income children, families and people with disabilities. Trump has said he only wants to eliminate "waste, fraud and abuse" from the Medicaid program and would not make direct cuts to benefits. The bill also calls for changes to SNAP by imposing stricter work requirements. The Rev. Jim Wallis, who advised the Obama administration, called the budget plan a "big, bad bill," which he argued would "take 60 million people off of health care." Democratic Sen. Chris Coons of Delaware claimed the bill "literally takes the food from the mouths of hungry children to pass an enormous tax cut for the very wealthiest and is the definition of an immoral bill before this Congress." Warnock, who calls it the "Big Ugly Bill," recounted how he protested another Trump budget bill eight years ago with prayer and song inside the Capitol rotunda. "As I stood there, I said then what I want to say today: That a budget is not just a fiscal document, it is a moral document." Warnock was arrested during that protest in 2017 and credited the Capitol Police for being professional. "Here I am eight years later, having transformed my agitation into legislation," Warnock added. "I'm here today because I still know how to agitate -- I still know how to protest. I'm not a senator who used to be a pastor. I'm a pastor in the Senate." "If we raise our voices together, we can beat this."

Dems join clergy to pray for 'moral reckoning' to fix Big, Beautiful Bill: ‘I still know how to agitate'
Several Democratic senators, including one who remains the preacher at Martin Luther King Jr.'s church, joined several clergy members for a vigil in opposition to the One Big Beautiful Bill Act on the Capitol steps Tuesday. "Clergy and leaders in robes, collars and religious vestments will offer prayers, sing songs, read scripture and testify to the Gospel, providing a moral reckoning at this critical moment in history," read an advisory announcing the vigil obtained by Fox News Digital. Rev. Jim Wallis, who advised the Obama administration on faith and neighborhood partnerships, told the crowd they "come today in spiritual procession – singing, reading Scripture and coming for a vigil on the Senate steps." "Some say that we should keep faith out of politics – we're saying while the Bible doesn't give us detailed legislation, it tells us who to care for," Wallis went on. "We don't want to let Jesus Christ be left outside the Senate chamber for this vote." Warnock Dodges Question From Nbc Host On Whether Biden Should Have Dropped Out Earlier Wallis called Republicans' budget a "big bad bill" that will purportedly "take 60 million [people] off of health care." Read On The Fox News App Sen. Chris Coons, D-Del., cited Luke 10, recalling the passage where a lawyer – "and it's always a lawyer causing trouble," he quipped – asks Jesus who qualifies as a neighbor and who one ought to care for. Coons claimed the GOP bill "literally takes the food from the mouths of hungry children to pass an enormous tax cut for the very wealthiest [and] is the definition of an immoral bill before this Congress." Mike Johnson, Donald Trump Get Big Beautiful Win As Budget Passes House Later, Sen. Raphael Warnock, D-Ga. – reverend of Ebenezer Baptist Church in Atlanta – said the vigil felt like "déjà vu." Warnock recounted protesting via prayer and singing in the Capitol rotunda in 2017 – alongside former North Carolina NAACP president William Barber II – and said he "drew the short straw" when he, but not Barber, was arrested. "As I stood there, I said then what I want to say today: That a budget is not just a fiscal document, it's a moral document." "Show me your budget and I'll show you who you think matters and who does not – who you think is dispensable. Right. And we stood there in 2017 making the same point," he said, crediting the Capitol Police for arresting them in a professional manner. Warnock recounted that when he was warned of being arrested, he said he had "already been arrested." "My mind and my imagination and my heart had been arrested by the heartbeat of children who should not lose their food and who should not lose healthcare in order to give wealthy people a tax cut," he said, suggesting the same was true with Republicans' latest budget bill. "Here I am eight years later, having transformed my agitation into legislation." "I'm here today because I still know how to agitate – I still know how to protest. I'm not a senator who used to be a pastor. I'm a pastor in the Senate."Original article source: Dems join clergy to pray for 'moral reckoning' to fix Big, Beautiful Bill: 'I still know how to agitate'
