Olise is my favorite player because (1) he plays absolutely beautiful soccer for France and (2) I would get a higher grade than him on a French test.

FIFA Man of the Match on my World Cup debut. #WorldCup2026

mbappé at halftime realizing he’s mbappé and this is the world cup

Alexi Lalas needs to call in sick for the rest of the #WorldCup. Ibra just sonned him on live television. No way they last 37 more days 🤣🤣😂🤣🤣🤣

It’s like watching Tocqueville live tweet Democracy in America, and I think that’s beautiful

The Internet is sleeping on the Japanese in Nashville but they’re having a time too

@Pontifex the pope called it soccer, so its soccer

[Josh Billinson @jbillinson]

it’s a lovely gesture, but you really didn’t have to do this while this city is being terrorized by a gigantic frenchman in the finals

[ESPN FC @ESPNFC]

Antoine Griezmann received a guard of honor from his teammates and coaches after his final home match ❤️

Not a dry eye in the building 🥹

I wrote a guest column for The Daily Memphian on the recent redistricting and how our beloved river town must resolve to fight for itself. A big thanks to @ericbarnes2 and the DM for running this.

We should never get used to this being the official voice of our government.

If Memphis really matters, don't carve it into thirds. Column: https://t.co/eSNttWYufI

@CadessborX Gov. Lee said he wants the districts to represent "the will of Tennessee voters." Cracking Memphis so that the people who live there do not have a representative who represents their will hardly fits with his promise.

[James Surowiecki @JamesSurowiecki]

I remain baffled by the idea that a non-gerrymandered map can eliminate a congressional district that fairly represents the citizens of Memphis.

The definition of waste and abuse.

[Larry Sabato @LarrySabato]

You don’t have to like Jim Comey to understand that anyone on Trump’s enemies list is a target for frivolous prosecution—a key step to full-blown authoritarianism.

[Sam Levine @srl]

DOJ continues unbroken losing streak in cases seeking voter roll information. Judges in California, Oregon, Michigan, Massachusetts, Rhode Island, and now Arizona have ruled against the department. No judges have ruled in their favor. https://t.co/BxGQ37nKgq

Todd Blanche must believe that Matt Gaetz confessed here to murdering Kevin McCarthy and Mitch McConnell.

[Justin Amash @justinamash]

The FBI spent almost a year investigating a dumb Instagram post. If this constitutes a prosecutable “true threat,” then the thing that’s been eighty-sixed is the First Amendment.

[James Surowiecki @JamesSurowiecki]

Principle-less Clay Travis endorses prosecuting Comey. Disgusting nonsense.

[Preston Battle @PrestonBattle]

I think the @EPA just shut down the Ghostbusters’ containment system over at @MLGW

[Preston Battle @PrestonBattle]

I truly don’t understand why Adam Silver seemed to struggle with being bullish about Memphis, but he did. Memphis is an amazing city. We may not be Nashville, but we have a lot of good going on.

[Pardon My Take @PardonMyTake]

The Memphis Grizzlies aren’t going anywhere
