Big day for Pulisic. He will get fouled often, harshly and early. I’m going with an goal by Angry Pulisic in the 37 minute to put us up 1-0 and we go on from there.

Let me fix that tweet for you:
1. The people rioting in Paris are criminals who are committing crimes.
2. Destroying hard-working people’s businesses is evil and not a valid form of protest.
From the high schools of France to the streets of Madrid to the universities of Tirana, young people are telling their governments the same thing: in an age of massive wealth inequality, they want a future they can believe in.
In France, students and teachers are asking for safe schools, enough teachers and smaller classes.
In Spain, for affordable rent and housing.
In Albania, for good jobs and an end to corruption.
@JDVance says this is what happens when a nation lets in too many immigrants from the global south.
He is not just morally wrong, but misreading the moment.
The is what happens when nations let wealth and power accumulate in the hands of a few.
This is what happens when young people lose hope in their future.
In America, let us listen to our young.
We need an economic and political transformation.
America's Next New Deal.

You see, it just “caught fire.”
This is the moment a town hall collapsed as protests sweep across France.

The first duty of government is the physical protection of the citizenry. President Macron should act to save his country -- now. Without law and order, a free society is not possible. "Ordered liberty" is the name of the game. The adjective and the noun, equally indispensable.

Dear @katiezacharia — speaking as the world's leading expert on short White House tenures: turn off the news and go enjoy your family. In time you’ll realize that the Universe did you a major favor.

The Trump Administration’s Outlook Toward Ukraine Is a Moral and Strategic Atrocity nationalreview.com/corner/th…
@smerconish the speculation and conjecture is off the charts today. Did the WSJ have any technical data regarding the outage?
The actual facts about SpaceX in Ukraine:
- SpaceX is a private company with zero obligation to help Ukraine, yet it stepped up when governments dragged their feet.
- Starlink and Starshield are not the same. Starshield is under U.S. government control. That is who made last night’s call.
- Ukraine accounts for only a micro fraction of SpaceX’s revenue, while the company bears the risks of operating amid Russian attacks and geopolitical pressure. The financial return hardly justifies the exposure. SpaceX helps because it chooses to. Starshield access, meanwhile, is up to the US government.
- SpaceX has every right to set limits on how its technology is used. They own it and bear consequences for it. This is while they actively collaborate to take down Russian access to Starlink that threatens to collapse Ukraine.
- Throwing tantrums over not getting all your demands, including offensive use, or simply because Elon disagrees with you, while SpaceX risks its assets to help, says plenty about your character.
- Demanding a company be nationalized so you can just take its product is the loudest confession that you cannot build anything. You can only steal.
- Europeans should try to build their own. As a space fan, I'd celebrate it.
- I don't care about the politics. But attacking the company that stepped up when it had no obligation to help is pathetic.
The truth is, without Starlink saving Ukrainian communication in the early days, their reality would have severly looked very different today, and they should be grateful.

For me, Malik Tillman should be the face of the U.S. National Team. No debate. But wait, I forgot… he wasn’t born in America.
Enough with the politics. Let’s talk about football!
I represented this country for seven years. I’ve seen things, heard things, and experienced things firsthand. So when I speak about what needs to change in American soccer, I’m speaking from experience, not from the outside looking in.
And I will continue to speak about what I believe needs to change for the betterment of the game in this country.
I’ve said it before, and I’ll say it again:
In Europe, you have to BECOME a star. In America, they MAKE you a star.
There’s a big difference.
It’s time we put football first. Let the performances on the pitch do the talking.

Thanks @FoxNewsSunday for having me.

The reaction to this has been sad. They just donated $6.25 *billion* to low-income kids, which is one of the largest charitable acts for children in history. And I’m not sure if anyone actually knows that, because everyone is just talking about Susan Dell’s face. It sucks.
Susan Dell, wife of Dell Technologies CEO Michael Dell, encouraged families to register for Trump Accounts while speaking alongside the president on Wednesday. After Mrs. Dell’s speech, President Trump asked Mr. Dell whether his wife was considering running for office and gave her his "complete and total endorsement." The Dells previously pledged a donation of $6.25 billion to the Trump Accounts.

Brian Roberts, Comcast’s controlling shareholder, has long given mostly to Democrats and was described as an Obama golf partner.
Comcast spun most cable networks (including MSNBC, rebranded MS NOW, plus CNBC and USA) into Versant, and in June 2026 announced a further spin of NBCUniversal; Roberts stays actively involved and the dual-class control structure carries over. The corporate PAC hedges both parties.
One woman, @TheDemocrats megadonor Laurene Powell Jobs, controls @TheAtlantic She has hosted Harris fundraisers and given millions to pro-Harris groups.
One family, the Ochs-Sulzbergers, controls The New York Times. @nytimes Publisher A. G. Sulzberger sits on a trust that has held the paper since 1896. It is the largest U.S. news site by traffic and editorially center-left to liberal.
The structural point Sanders is making is real and not unique to Ellison.

CA High-Speed Rail’s Acting head of external affairs Matt Rocco won’t say why project CEO Ian Choudri refuses to speak with reporters here.
He wants us to submit questions via email and suggests CEOs prepared remarks here are enough.

🚨 BREAKING: Becerra backs out of next week's Univision debate, citing a “scheduling conflict.”
We offered to accommodate. But they declined—just after he was exposed for LYING about his family origins.
If you can’t be bothered to EARN people's votes, you don’t DESERVE their votes. Becerra promised MULTIPLE debates. Don't let him forget it!
@smerconish I can’t call in but to provide balance, I agree with everything Mark Halpern wrote about this morning. PS, I never voted for President Trump.

LA TIMES DEBATE: Becerra backed out, but I showed up anyway.
Surely Xavier will come to the next one. After all, he promised MULTIPLE.
Great conversation. Thank you for the invitation!
