There is something special about the World Cup.

Meghan, those excited European visitors are visiting the very liberal cities that you constantly trash.

Boston
NYC
LA...

Very rare that I agree with him, but yeah…

[U.S. Senator Bill Cassidy, M.D. @SenBillCassidy]

Reagan is rolling over in his grave. Iran’s nuclear ambitions were not curbed, and they have learned that threatening the Strait of Hormuz works and will undoubtedly leverage it in the future. Now, Iran gets to build brand-new infrastructure under this deal.

Before the war, the strait was open, Iran was being crushed by sanctions, and 13 service members were still alive. Now, 13 Americans are dead, families have paid billions at the pump, sanctions will be lifted, and the bombing has stopped. This is the worst foreign policy blunder in decades.

Truth. Chicago is such a great summer city.

[Christian Schneider @Schneider_CM]

Really wish Chicago and FIFA could have come to an agreement over hosting World Cup games. Not having games there is criminal.

Anyone who has ever been to Scotland knows this is true. I got a pre assignment briefing on excessive drinking before I moved to Scotland. 3 years later - I quit drinking for 6 months when I moved back to the US. Needed to give my liver time to heal.

I’m currently living somewhere to “test it out for retirement” and one of the high points of renting for the first time in 15 years…I’m renting from a Vietnamese family and they have installed fancy Asian toilets/bidets in all of the bathrooms. #iykyk

Shout out to Braden, Fletch and Trey.

Incredible seniors that bought into the Purdue way and gave us four incredible years of dedication, hardwork and entertainment.

One Era ends, the next one begins.

#ThankYouSeniors

Or look at a used sedan - my brother and I both started out with used Toyota Corollas. I had mine until I moved overseas and he’s still driving his (it’s 20 years old).

[Notorious N.I.C. @the7maxims]

My kid is a rising senior. We’re looking at cars for her. She asked to look at the new Broncos… 😵‍💫😵‍💫😵‍💫😵‍💫😵‍💫 $35000 & up.

I decided to look at a RAV4 thinking I could find something less than $20000. They’re $30000 plus. I guess entry level vehicles are a thing of the past.

[Erin P @erin2024]

I think this is true.

[Michael Strong @flowidealism]

If your child becomes a reader, about 80% of the education job is already done. That's my honest assessment after working in education for over thirty years. Everything else is secondary. Most parents think science education is important. Yes it is. But if you can't read the biology textbook, you're not going to learn biology.

Reading is the meta-skill that enables all other skills. History requires reading. Science requires reading. Even math increasingly requires reading as it becomes more sophisticated. The child who reads voraciously will figure out everything else. The child who doesn't will struggle with everything.

Exclusive: Prior to Iran attacks, CIA assessed Khamenei would be replaced by hardline IRGC elements if killed, sources say https://t.co/hszaIuUz3t https://t.co/hszaIuUz3t

[Dan Pfeiffer @danpfeiffer]

Barack Obama reached a deal that prevented Iran from getting a nuclear weapon.

Trump ripped up that deal.

Now we are at war with Iran to prevent it from getting a nuclear weapon.

[Rania Khalek @RaniaKhalek]

Explosions reported in Bahrain, Abu Dhabi and Qatar, which all host US military assets.

The Iranians are retaliating.

The U.S. has just ignited a totally unecessary regional war.

[Erin P @erin2024]

Seriously. Who in the fuck voted for this?

[The Bulwark @BulwarkOnline]

Trump: "I am allowed to cut off any and all trade…I can destroy the trade, I can destroy the country, I'm even allowed to impose a foreign country destroying embargo…I can do anything I want to do to them…I'm allowed to destroy the country, but I can't charge a little fee."

[Erin P @erin2024]

It is seriously a bit strange - having just gone down that Wikipedia rabbit hole.

[Tripp Whitbeck @trippwhitbeck]

The French Ice Dancing team dance to a piece from The Whale... about a morbidly obese man, and his physical and emotional struggles.

Gotta be honest, thematically, it's a weird choice... especially since they're dressed "like water" (of which The Whale has none)

Did I understand a single word of it?
I did not.

Was it a vibe?
It was.

So I expect to see you sponsoring a national ban on gerrymandering, @tedcruz?

[Ted Cruz @tedcruz]

A brazen abuse of power & an insult to democracy.

47% of VA voted Trump. They will now get just 9% of the seats.

52% of VA voters voted Harris. Now they get 91% of the seats.

(By comparison, in TX, 56% voted Trump; GOP gets 79% of the seats.)

Low key - one of the most liberating, yet terrifying things was telling the packers to not pack any(!) pantry items. I swear I had spices still from Houston, round 1 (2012…).

Just in case anyone was curious - it’s not easy to fly from Tel Aviv to Equatorial Guinea.

Oh dear god.

TRUMP: "We're going to have our very large United States oil companies, the biggest anywhere in the world, go in, spend billions of dollars, fix the badly broken infrastructure, the oil infrastructure, and start making money for the country."
