Can JD Vance Win Over Skeptical Jewish Voters?
The vice president is attempting to unite conservative Jews with their antagonists in one coalition, as one appearance in Nevada on Monday showed. Some are uneasy about it.

100 games played in the world cup and we've narrowed it down to the teams that were ranked 1-4 before the tournament started.

I kinda hated this dude before the world cup and he remains very difficult to look at. But he has revealed himself to be an excellent poster over the last three weeks.

I was 10. Asked my dad to take me to see it. He said, you mean that movie with Ray Charles, Aretha Franklin, and James Brown where those two white boys do most of the singing? I went with a friend. But he wasn’t wrong.

It's not that it was a mistake to give the US the World Cup (though it was). It's that so many games take place in cities where the venue is totally disconnected from the city -- NY, Dallas, Santa Clara, etc.

Thank you! The Democrats had 59 Senators as recently as 2011. The Senate is a ridiculous institution. But it is not inherently slanted toward the GOP.

The NYT is the worst American newspaper except for all the others. People are, to my mind, too quick to call it mealy-mouthed and polite. But this headline is mealy-mouthed and overly polite. The president posted an image of black people depicted as apes. That's not an "echo" of white supremacy.

I know this is the least important thing happening right now. But the affectation of calling the Solicitor General “General” drives me right around the bend. The Solicitor General is a general solicitor. Not a general.
