New from me: He swiped right. She was recording everything.

In December 2024, Rob Field, then a top aide to Democratic Gov. Phil Murphy of New Jersey, met a woman on Bumble. Over five months of texting, dates and calls, he came to believe that the woman who identified herself as Leah Andrews might be his “forever person.”

But just over five months after they first met, surreptitiously recorded videos of their dates and calls were posted online by conservative influencer Steven Crowder. And “Leah” was not a progressive nurse. A lawsuit filed this week identifies her as a Florida woman named Alysia Gamble.

According to public records and online videos, Gamble — who is married with kids — was a former QAnon organizer.

NJ's Democratic governor is attempting to head off a surge of federal authorities, including Immigration and Customs Enforcement agents, that she fears could create the kind of chaos seen earlier this year in Minneapolis. https://t.co/FpJcCJEtBU w/ @danieljhan_ & @MyahWard

For the past 48 hours, FIFA has privately been upset with the White House for restarting strikes on Iran, less than three weeks before the U.S. is expected to host the Iranian team for its World Cup first match on June 15.

Iran’s training camp has already been moved from Arizona to Mexico.

[Ry Rivard @ryrivard]

The two states released dueling plans Tuesday to lower travel prices for ticketholders, a response by their affordability-focused leaders to a rising international concern that World Cup costs have spiraled unmanageably out of control.

[Ry Rivard @ryrivard]

The U.S., Canada and Mexico are figuring out how to stage a World Cup together. New York and New Jersey can’t.
