[David Axelrod @davidaxelrod]

.@MittRomney is no Communist. Nor is he disparaging of wealth.
But here he puts his finger on the problem:
When so MUCH wealth is accumulated in the hands of a few, and money speaks so loudly in our campaigns, it also represents a concentration of power that skews our democracy.

[León Krauze @LeonKrauze]

With all due respect.
What makes this case extraordinary is not that a red card was rescinded. It is that the rescission occurred amid public pressure and lobbying from the highest levels of political power in the host country of the tournament.
The comparison isn't with a missed penalty call or an unfortunate refereeing decision. It's with one of the foundational principles of international sport: that political power should not intervene in the administration of competition.
The "spirit of the game" argument isn't some quaint European attachment to suffering nobly. It is the recognition that sporting institutions derive their legitimacy from the perception that they operate independently of political influence. Once a government (particularly the government of the host nation and the world's most powerful country) appears capable of influencing disciplinary outcomes, the problem is not a “red card”. The problem is the integrity of the competition itself.
And yes, FIFA's history is riddled with corruption, hypocrisy and political accommodation. But that is not an argument for accepting yet another breach of sporting independence. Quite the opposite!!
It is precisely why even the appearance of political intervention should alarm anyone who cares about the credibility of international competition.

This is the fellow who was railing yesterday against communism.

[Christiane Amanpour @amanpour]

Trump's "net worth is off the charts, bigger than what it was prior to this presidency." @maggieNYT says we're just scratching the surface when it comes to how Trump has used the presidency to inflate his wealth.

[Jared Moskowitz @JaredEMoskowitz]

Watching a President of the United States fly a plane personally gifted to him by a foreign government isn’t just corrupt, it makes us look weak to the world.

Y Trump dijo que iba a “drenar el pantano” de la corrupción!

[Scott Robertson @sarobertson_]

Haberman on Trump: The start of the document says, essentially, "Donald Trump is the most powerful person who has ever walked the face of the earth." And then he proceeds to tick off what he describes as the top 10, Mao, Hitler, Stalin, Tamerlane, Genghis Khan...

He was making no moral distinction at all between people who had murdered and people who had conquered or people who had built empires. It was that they had power and they were willing to use it. And that was how he was seeing himself.

[Scott Robertson @sarobertson_]

Haberman: [Trump] has become so invested in the idea that things always work out for him ... Part of why he believes that's true for him is because, as we describe it, he's been something of a walking moral hazard his whole life, where he takes actions and somebody else holds the bag.

my god. the inhumanity of what putin has done, on every front, is staggering.

[León Krauze @LeonKrauze]

Impresionante.
En la trituradora bélica de Putin, un recluta en el ejército ruso tiene una expectativa de vida de entre 10 días y tres semanas.
Lo que Putin le ha hecho a sus jóvenes (por no decir nada de los crímenes horrendos en Ucrania) será juzgado de manera implacable por la historia.

[Republicans against Trump @RpsAgainstTrump]

GOP Rep. Thomas Massie:

“I think it's ironic that we control the House, Senate, Supreme Court, and the White House, and we're yelling 'election fraud'? I mean, we won all the damn elections."

[Jared Moskowitz @JaredEMoskowitz]

As a member of the Foreign Affairs committee I will put in a formal request to @SecRubio to immediately send the USNS Mercy or the USNS Comfort. @chefjoseandres

[The New Yorker @NewYorker]

A new book by the Times reporters Maggie Haberman and Jonathan Swan contends that Trump ran in 2024 for one reason above all: “This was about staying out of prison.” https://t.co/tiWqJrmDWc

[ian bremmer @ianbremmer]

trump thought maximum pressure would force iran to cave.
it didn’t.

just like with china and the trade war.
the adversary pushed back.
and trump backed down.

[Brian Krassenstein @krassenstein]

Imagine using the National Guard to protect green algae but not US democracy on January 6.

Trump is sickening.

[ian bremmer @ianbremmer]

the world needs the strait of hormuz reopened. should have happened months ago, but today’s outcome is the best option available.

having said that, iran war has been a disaster. no agreement on nukes, ballistic missiles, support for proxies…and one of the world’s most brutal regimes remains in place…and is getting paid off.

biggest foreign policy failure of trump administration by a long margin.
