Good morning. North Carolina has more Stanley cups in this century than Canada.

[Roy Cooper @RoyCooperNC]

Lord Stanley’s Cup is coming back to North Carolina! What a team! What a year! Pure joy!

[Nick Byrne @NKByrne]

Flashback to memories of summer 2006 living on Gorman Street and running into Commodore hoisting the Cup around the General Assembly flooding back. #GoCanes

On the siren. Fully robed.

The World Cup begins tomorrow, and many will watch the matches. Soccer reminds us of something we must not forget: life is not a race to show off on our own, but a path we learn to walk together. Anyone who does not know how to pass the ball, even if they have talent, has not yet understood the game. Anyone who does not know how to live with and for others has not yet understood life. #ApostolicJourney

I LOVE MY COUNTRY NORTH CAROLINA

What's amazing to me is that, 10 years apart, there are the exact same clouds in the exact same positions.

DC truly is a magical place

Remember when they said Zelensky desecrated the sanctity of the White House by not wearing a suit

Forever, I’ve said the loudest sports arena I’ve ever been in was the old Chicago Stadium. After these first 2 #StanleyCup games in Raleigh, I might have to rethink that. My ears still hurt!

[Team Roy Cooper @TeamCooperNC]

On a serious note, we’re ALWAYS excited to welcome new Caniacs to the crew.

But in case you want to keep cosplaying for votes, @WhatleyNC, we got you a gift:

This is what happens when everyone around you is too afraid to say, “Sir, that’s fucking stupid”

Wow. Even Trump did a better job not answering/fumbling a soft ball when asked about his fave Bible verse (no comment/"too personal") and then Old vs. New Testament ("probably equal"). #soundthesiren

[Jordan Monaghan @jordandmonaghan]

🚨NEW: @WhatleyNC CANNOT name a SINGLE Carolina Hurricane as they play in the Stanley Cup Finals

Gets asked THREE TIMES to name just one player and totally fails after looking "exasperated"

One thing is clear: Michael Whatley does NOT know puck

Italians: oh no our massive favorite Sinner just lost in round 2

Also Italians: hold our aperol, here’s Cobolli, Berrettini and Arnaldi all into the quarter-finals in that same half

I worry that Wembanyama will get caught up in the distractions of New York City, like the Rose Reading Room at the public library or the upcoming conference on participatory futures at The New School

[Dan Connolly @danconnolly2016]

It's official. The Montreal Canadiens are out of the playoffs and my favorite stat holds for another year. A U.S. team has won the Canadian Football League's Grey Cup (Baltimore Stallions, 1995) more recently than a Canadian team has won the NHL's Stanley Cup (Montreal, 1993).

[Maria Shriver @mariashriver]

An appropriate birthday present on my uncle's birthday today. A federal judge ruled that President Trump and the Kennedy Center Board acted unlawfully in renaming the Kennedy Center. The judge held that only Congress can change the Center's name and blocked the planned two-year closure. I know they'll probably appeal and the story isn't over, but for today let’s celebrate a great birthday gift.

Need the Pope to release an encyclical against Teams calls

[NYTPitchbot @DougJBalloon]

I converted to Catholicism last week. Here’s why the Pope’s woke encyclical is a disgrace.
