The irony of Trump calling FIFA to overturn
a red card for Balogun because he knows the U.S. can’t win without Balogun, who only qualifies for the U.S. team because of birthright citizenship, which Trump just tried to overturn.

This wouldn’t be the first time Trump got compassionate use meds due to his office.

In October 2020 Trump got the Regeneron REGEN-COV monoclonal antibody infusion to treat his Covid infection. He was the first person to receive it outside of a clinical trial.

I was a young Mets fan when I watched the ball roll through Buckner’s legs for the win in 1986. The Knicks comeback tonight is as great a win - for me - as that

Have you heard of 60 Minutes? The unutilized news brand?

[Rhana Natour @RNatourious]

omg CBS fired 60 Min correspondent Cecilia Vega today.
Just this year she won the DuPont and the Polk for her stories on 60.
Her full statement is worth a read.

[APStylebook @APStylebook]

You've been asking for this one for years. We heard you.
We announced a change in AP style at the @ACESEditors conference today: It's now healthcare, one word, in all uses.
We also changed childcare and daycare, closing them up to one word rather than two.
This guidance is live on AP Stylebook Online now.

The Pentagon fired an ombudsman whose role is to preserve a military newspaper's editorial independence because she spoke out about efforts to undermine that independence.

These people behave as if someone else pays their legal fees when they get sued. Oh, right...

Secret memos by Supreme Court justices, obtained by The New York Times, show how they decided to bypass time-tested procedures and create the modern “shadow docket,” a controversial new way of doing business. https://t.co/xNu6GXxmdl

Very proud of my husband for forgoing his severance package to speak out about the desecration he witnessed of the “Trump” Kennedy Center. @theatlantic

Good thing the Trump administration killed the tax credit for middle class Americans to buy electric vehicles, tore up renewable energy projects, and canceled the very programs that would have allowed Americans to weather this better.

[Adam Nagourney @adamnagourney]

What's so good about @ShawnMcCreesh story is it would have been easy just to make fun of Bryon Noem. Instead, he writes a compassionate (and well-reported) story about the humiliation he's going through. Should teach this one in journalism school. https://t.co/ROdyRsyDh8

This is the work that can’t be replicated by AI or pursued by a reporter with a Substack. It requires time - during which a reporter isn’t producing a lot of copy. Building trust with sources so you can tell sensitive stories, that’s a process that doesn’t scale.

Was struck by this father’s plea I stumbled across online. Sign up to be a donor and potentially save a life. He says his son is on borrowed time, and out of 42 million donors has not found a match. If you’re 18-35 maybe it’s you? https://t.co/qjX6WkrNtt
