A Siena, città alla quale sono molto legato, si sta in casa ma si canta insieme come se si fosse per la strada. Mi sono commosso

Trump taps US attorney Jay Clayton, who days ago appeared on CNBC to baselessly speculate about fraud in the LA mayoral election, to serve as Director of National Intelligence

Chef Marcus reminds us that no matter where we're from or what team we support, we have more in common than we realize—and that this summer, we can channel that energy into something bigger.

So, ahead of the opening World Cup match, some thoughts. There's something about the lead up to this tournament, stateside at least that just feels so weirdly disjointed beyond the obvious infrastructure, ticket prices and like disorganization issues.

Ja’Kobe Tharp just broke the world record in the 110m hurdles during the NCAA Championship prelims.

He ran 12.75(Previous World Record was 12.80 in 2012). Tharp’s personal best before this was 13.01. Dropping .26 seconds in the 110m hurdles is absurd.

@bmarcello @davpresto How much you wanna bet that's not a coincidence? No, seriously, how much

"How to ruin a vibe" by Sleepy Don. All the energy of Knicks fans, the excitement around this series, the communal feeling with celebs mixing with regular folk, and this is the visual we're left with. His narcissism is unchecked, his death touch is intact. #MassiveFail

[Jeremy Corbyn @jeremycorbyn]

What an absolute disgrace. A FIFA-certified referee being denied entry to the United States purely because he is Somali.

The World Cup is meant to bring people together. This is racism, plain and simple. Shameful.

The summer of our 250 birthday with the entire world coming for a visit could have been such a beautiful moment for the USA. And those moments still might happen--in the stands, in the pubs, and elsewhere. But Ian is Wright, USA soccer fans are hurting as they watch this mess.

[Mukhtar @I_amMukhtar]

Big up, Uncle Ian Wright for speaking up, and he's 100% correct.

Look how Qatar got dragged when they were hosting the World Cup.

His hand is blue, his face is orange, but wearing the colors won't save him from Knicks fans and their wrath. 13-game win streak gone, momentum gone, love fest gone. But Trump's streak is very much alive--everything he touches turns to shit

“Right now, CBS News is on fire”

Scott Pelley: “We need adult supervision and at the moment we don’t have it. We have people who’ve been installed in these jobs who through no fault of their own have no experience in television. It’s not their fault, but they don’t know what they’re doing. There’s a subtle political bias that I’ve never seen at 60 Minutes or CBS News before. That is my hope, a return to sanity. A return to honor, a return to courage. We used to have all of those things in abundance and now we don’t. We can save this. It’s possible to land this plane. But right now, CBS News, in my view, is on fire”

[Marco Foster @MarcoFoster_]

Scott Pelley responds to Trump saying he doesn’t care about the country: “I’ve never worn the uniform, but I’ve been in combat for this country. In Afghanistan, and Iraq, Kuwait. Been shot at. Spent nights in foxholes filling up with water in the desert. I’m not aware that the president has ever done any of those things for his country. You become a journalist because you love the First Amendment, you love the country. While all the other descriptions the president used about me might be applicable, not that one”

[Niall Stanage @NiallStanage]

This is a devastating interview.

Scott Pelley tells the NYT that Bari Weiss directly put a “thumb on the scale” for Trump over the killing of Renee Good.

Here’s his explanation of exactly what happened.

[Edward Luce @EdwardGLuce]

Trump told me this a couple of hours before Bibi struck Iran. He has turned himself into a prisoner of other people's decisions.
