My wife is better than me at most things. Interested in how we can generally be better people, individually and collectively. And Tottenham.

The USA will have the largest parking garage in the world before it runs a train that’s faster than it was 60+ years ago.

Love me a nice modern airport as much as the next traveler, but this is not what we need. We need high speed rail and clean energy infrastructure. We need to do the urgent hard stuff if we’re gonna stop climate change. A Dulles airport renewal is easy, flashy, & a distraction.

$2.7 billion to kill wind power. $1.125 billion to prop up coal.

That’s $3.8 billion of your tax dollars Trump has spent this year alone, not to lower your energy bill, but to make sure the cheapest electricity in America never reaches the grid.

Yes, you heard that right. The President of the United States is literally spending your tax dollars to make your energy bills more expensive.

You’re paying for this twice: once when the government spends your tax dollars to block the cheapest energy available, and again on your electric bill when utilities have no choice but to keep running expensive coal instead.

The European mind understands it perfectly. This is what imperial decadence looks like: public institutions converted into branded spectacle, civic memory replaced by adrenaline theater, and the People’s House turned into a content backdrop for regime propaganda.

The joke is not that Europe cannot comprehend it. The joke is that America no longer recognizes what it is becoming.

USA. A Mexican restaurant. We had not yet ordered anything, and the food was already arriving.

Chips. Salsa. Unrequested. Free.

I stopped the waiter. "We have not earned these."

"They just come with the table, man."

They come with the TABLE. In my land, hospitality is a debt. Every gift creates an obligation, weighed carefully, returned in the proper season with interest of feeling. Here, the gift arrives before you have even proven you can pay for dinner.

This is not an appetizer. This is a declaration: we trust you. Eat.

I ate with the gravity the moment deserved. And then — I must report this calmly — the basket emptied, and a new one appeared.

"Did we…?"

"Refill," the waiter said. "It's bottomless."

Bottomless. They have wells of salsa. The supply lines of this nation are beyond anything my ancestors imagined.

My friend warned me. "Don't fill up on chips, dude."

Too late. I had accepted three baskets. Honor demanded each one be finished — an unfinished gift is an insult. By the time my actual food arrived, I was a ruined man.

I was not hungry. I was not comfortable. I had been defeated by a courtesy.

Generosity that arrives before the request cannot be repaid. It can only be survived.

I know the rule now. I have made my peace with the basket. One basket. Two at the most.

Who am I deceiving. There is no number of baskets I would refuse. The trust of a nation is in that salsa, and I intend to honor all of it.

Let’s be honest, we’re all going to watch the world. But we have to start hitting FIFA in its pockets to end this corruption and Infantino’s capture of the beautiful game. A boycott of all sponsors would be a good place to start

[Aidan McLaughlin @aidnmclaughlin]

"For the past year, FIFA has leased an office on the 17th floor of New York’s Trump Tower that has sat all but empty. The rent goes to President Trump’s family business, but soccer officials say the space sits largely idle." https://t.co/3CrHrid6ls

WOW -- Trump crashes out and cuts his interview with Welker short as she presses him on his lack of evidence for claiming elections are rigged

"You're either crooked or you're stupid. Let's call it quits. Because I've had enough. Thank you darling," he tells her."

"I traveled all the way to Wisconsin for this interview," she pleads.

[Jordan Wilson @jlanewill]

@clashreport What a horrible horrible man. The absolute worst. So immigrants and refugees are nazis, foreign invaders, people to be fought akin to the great battles of WW2? Tasteless, classless, an embarrassment to the history of great Americans who fought on those beaches

[Mike Levin @MikeLevin]

This New York Times piece is worth your time. Here’s what is happening, as simply as I can put it.

Back in January, Trump sued the IRS, an agency he controls, demanding $10 billion over the leak of his tax returns a number of years ago.

IRS lawyers did their jobs. They wrote a memo laying out the defenses that could beat the suit, including the fact that Trump filed too late. His own lawyer was in court when the leaker pleaded guilty in October 2023, more than two years before Trump sued.

The Justice Department never showed up to court. Never argued back. Never used the defenses sitting on their desk.

The judge got suspicious and ordered both sides to explain whether they were actually opposing each other or just colluding. The day before that brief was due, Trump dropped the suit.

Same day, his Justice Department announced a $1.776 billion taxpayer-funded “anti-weaponization fund.” 

Trump gets a formal apology. The IRS agrees to drop any audits of him and his family, even though a 2024 Times report found a loss in an ongoing audit could cost him over $100 million.

The acting Attorney General, Trump’s former criminal defense attorney, picks the five commissioners who decide who gets paid. Trump can fire any of them. Proud Boys and Oath Keepers are not ruled out.

This is the most corrupt thing I’ve ever seen from an American president.

Where in the hell are my Republican colleagues?

At last, the ballroom we've all been praying for lo these many years.

VAR should never be used in this way. If not clear and obvious within 10 seconds then the decision shouldn’t be overturned. No freeze-frame, no slo-motion. Look at it from each angle in real time and make a call. This is painful to watch and it’s killing the game.

@MizunoGolfNA Hi @MizunoGolfNA I ordered my m-15 irons on April 4 and still have not had a response. I love my mizuno putter and my jpxs and was looking forward to the upgrade in my irons but if I don’t hear anything soon I may need to look elsewhere :(

[Jordan Wilson @jlanewill]

This really happened. It’s a fake Bible verse from a film. And Pete Hegseth really quoted it in prayer as if it was real. What a tool and symbolic of our faithless downfall

[Mike Nellis @MikeNellis]

No greater metaphor for this entire week than Pete Hegseth quoting a fake Bible verse from the movie Pulp Fiction to Pentagon staff.

Reporter: Did you post that picture of yourself depicted as Jesus Christ?

Trump: It wasn't a depiction. I did post it and I thought it was me as a doctor. And had to do with red cross as a red cross worker, which we support and only the fake news could come up with that one.

Decision makers are betting on Trump’s war with Iran & getting rich doing it – literally gambling with our troops' lives.

Introduced the BETS OFF Act with @ChrisMurphyCT, @RepYassAnsari & @RepCasar to stop prediction markets from letting insiders wager on outcomes they control.
