The only person who came out of that interview with any credibility was @JoeSquawk.

We need more hosts willing to grill people who come on television chasing publicity.

Jeremy Grantham has built his fortune from markets rising, then gets attention by repeatedly predicting their collapse.

Pessimism sells. Accountability matters.

[Fred Wellman @FPWellman]

This is the most corrupt words to come out of a Speaker's mouth imaginable. The job of Congress isn't to protect the President and his family. It's to provide checks and balances on the Executive Branch. You're damn right we will investigate crimes and corruption. Who moved $180 million in oil futures 15 minutes before Iran announcements? Who has gotten sole source contracts because of their connections to the Trump family? Where did our social security data go when DOGE downloaded it into portable hard drives? Where are the rest of the Epstein files? On and on this Congress has chosen covering up crimes instead of stopping them. That ends in November. @WellmanForMO

Pete Hegseth is removing or blocking the promotions of all military officers who he has determined would not participate in an illegal pro-Trump self-coup (auto-coup) in 2028.

You can believe me now or believe me in 2028.

Either way, stop seeing what Hegseth is doing as random.

🇦🇺 v 🇵🇾 - World Cup Matchday Review (Santa Clara/San Francisco/San Jose/Bay Area)

I have loved my time here in he Bay Area so far, however, the overall fan experience left me pretty underwhelmed.

Firstly, the game was marketed as being in "San Francisco." In reality, it was played in Santa Clara, over an hour away by Uber and, from what I experienced, with pretty poor public transport options. If you're a travelling supporter staying in San Francisco, it's a long and expensive trip.

What surprised me most was that there was virtually nothing happening in downtown San Francisco on matchday. No fan festival, no obvious meeting point, no streets full of green and gold or Paraguayan colours. The only organised gathering for Australian fans ended up being... a car park near the stadium so we could march together, no pubs or bars within walking distance.

The stadium itself is genuinely beautiful. One of the nicest I've been to. But it's also in the middle of nowhere, surrounded almost entirely by parking lots. Once you leave the gates, the atmosphere disappears instantly. Compare that to World Cups (or Vancouver/Seattle) where supporters spill into pubs, restaurants and city squares before and after matches, and it just felt like something was missing.

Then there was the crowd.

When the USA took a 2-1 lead over Türkiye, the stadium erupted into loud chants of "USA! USA! USA!" at an Australia vs Paraguay match. 😫

That was bizarre to me.

Maybe it's just a cultural difference, but if I'm wearing my national team's shirt, I'm going to watch my national team. Not someone else's match because there's football on. It felt like there were thousands of locals treating the game as general World Cup entertainment rather than supporters adding to the atmosphere of the fixture they were actually attending.

And that's what I think many Americans don't realise.

The World Cup isn't special because it's hosted in America....

It's special because hundreds of thousands of travelling supporters from around the world bring the culture with them. They're the ones who create the atmosphere that makes a World Cup unforgettable. The host nation's role is to embrace that and make it easy for those supporters to gather and celebrate.

One final kick in the teeth...

One beer, one spirit and two bottles of water came to US$77 (roughly AU$100+). That's hard to justify, even by major sporting event standards.

Would I go again? Absolutely. 😅

The stadium was excellent and seeing the Socceroos at a World Cup is something I'll never forget.

But if this tournament wants to be remembered as one of the greatest World Cups ever, I think the matchday experience outside the 90 minutes still has a long way to go... well in San Francisco anyway.

We March On 💚💛

This week someone targeted my family for harm with a false report. We’re physically OK, but that doesn’t mean we weren’t harmed. I am beyond furious.

Whatever your politics, this is awful, wrong, and can never become normal. https://t.co/72wxaVLzVT

THERE IS A FORTRESS IN CHINA THAT HAS NO NAME, NO KNOWN BUILDERS, AND ALMOST NO HISTORY.

It hides in the loess cliffs above the Yellow River. Its doorway literally hangs in midair. There isn't a single record of it in the chronicles for hundreds - perhaps even thousands - of years. How is that possible in a country where almost every fortress was documented? It looks like a portal to another world.

AOC: Mike Johnson paints this as though it’s some partisan witch hunt. But if you don’t want to be prosecuted for crimes, don’t do crimes.

And he’s talking about running a protection racket. And we are already seeing that this Trump administration has run what some have called one of the largest pedophile protection programs in American history.

And so when Mike Johnson tells a group of wealthy donors, I'm the only thing standing between you, and a consequence that should rattle at the conscience of every American.

What he wants to do is create—or rather, not even create, because it’s already been created—but protect a class of impunity in America that says, “You can commit whatever crime, and so long as you pay a check to us, we will protect you.”

And that is a model of extortion in American politics. And you know what? That’s their pitch.

Today’s ruling in favor of Monsanto proves what I have said for a long time: government agencies don’t protect citizens from large corporations, rather they protect large corporations from citizens.

Our government is illegitimate and no, your “side” is not going to fix it.

DILLON: “Bari Weiss is taking over CNN now— and has isolated herself on the 6th floor of CBS, with guards.”

@TimJDillon tells Joe Rogan Bari Weiss’ loyalty to Israel is behind her takeover of CBS/CNN to help Trump, saying it’s not antisemitic to question motives of pro-🇮🇱 donors
