The most melancholy happy trails to fellow 1989 @teppercmu graduate Jim Calo. Having another, remembering our old friend. A Boston fan through and through, watching Jim watch Danny Ainge play basketball was one of the funniest things I have ever seen. What a guy.

Sorry @FoxNews … that Alaska ballot is pretty clear who the two Dan Sullivans are . The ballot … is not confusing.

Love how Trump lies about the Canadian tariffs on dairy @JoeSquawk If all he gets from this trade war is a reduction from the “400 percent” tariffs that were never applied in the first place then even you have to admit that Carney has completely out played him.

BREAKING: Sen. Chris Murphy (D-CT) is in the hospital after a stroke. There's no word yet on his condition. Hoping for the best. Murphy is an incredible man and great Senator.

Quoting without comment
Havertz ahead of Gyokeres. Not the call I'd have made at Anfield. Let Kai connect the play, but we still need players running beyond him.

Carney was right not to sign the trade deal. Trump folding like a chair. Nothing says the tariffs are a piss poor policy when you have to relax them to try to win an election.

RFK Jr: "I was in Los Angeles last week and I saw people, this is true, driving around wearing masks alone in their car, still in 2026" Proceeds to wipe nose and wipes on Podium 🤣🤣🤣

Yes … and it will only come on line … 24 months from now? Why didn’t they think about all this BEFORE they started the war with Iran?
.@POTUS in IOWA: Tonight, I am announcing that my Administration is using the Defense Production Act to release $150M to increase American refining capacity and produce more diesel and more gasoline.

Trump admits inadvertently that Starlink WAS turned off on Ukraine and Elon Musk turned is back on. "Whether I called or someone else called, doesn't make any difference the bottom line is he put it back."

WTI is at $102.92. His tariffs on Canadian goods are causing, in part, inflation. WHO do you think needs a deal more?
Trump "Canada's working very hard to make a deal with us. And I hate to say this, but we have all the cards, both of them. We have all the cards. Just like I told Zelenskyy. We have all the cards"

A tale of 2 podcasts: @cycling_podcast during the Giro and Vuelta: @friebos “let me regale the listener with the high quality vegetarian meal I had last night, accompanied with the perfect wine.” @simongillphoto and @lionelbirnie on The Magic Roundabout “I’ll have the steak

What @FoxNews misses is that Putin has already proved he can’t sit at a table with Xi and Trump. Hell, he can’t even take out a country 1/10th its size, even when he had the element of surprise with him. Putin, Xi, and Trump is not the equivalent of Stalin, Churchill, and FDR.

Ted Cruz’s dad killed Kennedy
🤦‍♂️ El Sayed refuses to disavow Muslim Brotherhood terrorists.
Readers added context they thought people might want to know
When asked if he will disavow The Muslim Brotherhood, El-Sayed replied "Sure, yes, absolutely" x.com/AbdulElSayed/s…
