This is essential. But has everyone in DC forgotten that Trump has a veto for the next two years? That word does not appear here once. The next two years have to be about getting everything lined up for 2029. And not overpromising deliverables in the meantime. www.washingtonpost.com/politics/202...

Trump’s opponents are planning efforts to reverse his changes to presidency
As the midterms approach, some of the president’s foes are working to ensure his aggressive approach to executive power doesn’t outlast him.

Hey, ProPublica reporter Jake Pearson here. I’m taking over the account to tell you about my new story. For months, I posed as a problem gambler on DraftKings to test the company's "responsible gaming" safeguards. Spoiler alert: They made me a VIP — and I lost $10K. Here's how it all went down. 🧵

There’s such an easy answer to this “gotcha” question and it’s “Sports are inherently unsafe and unfair and it’s ridiculous to single out trans athletes when we allow 150 pound linebackers to go up against 260 pound linemen in freshman football on a daily basis. Let kids play with their friends.”

Jeanine Pirro should be disbarred. It is absolutely indefensible and gross misconduct to rush through a criminal indictment for political reasons before an investigation has been completed, which resulted in false evidence being presented to a grand jury.

In 2023, Indonesia were stripped of the under-20 World Cup for refusing to allow the Israeli team entry. Fifa's justification then was the vague "due to the current circumstances". Quite a contrast to the hardline "FIFA is not involved in host immigration processes" now.

This is completely deranged: Iran is required to play games in the US but ISN’T ALLOWED TO STAY IN THE COUNTRY OVERNIGHT. They will instead have to fly back to Mexico. www.bbc.com/sport/footba...
Sheinbaum said her government had been approached by Fifa after the US made it clear it did not want Iran's squad to stay in the country during the tournament.
"We have no reason to deny them the possibility of staying in Mexico," Sheinbaum said.
"The United States does not want the Iranian team to stay overnight, but they are going to play three matches there.
"So they asked us: 'Can they stay overnight in Mexico?' And we said: 'Yes, no problem.' We have no problem."

Donovan, Joint Task Force Southern Spear conducted a lethal kinetic strike on a vessel operated by Designated Terrorist Organizations. Intelligence confirmed the vessel was transiting along known narco-trafficking routes in the Eastern Pacific and was engaged in narco-trafficking operations.
