EXCLUSIVE: Aaron Schock traded congressional disgrace for what he said was his shot at a Venezuelan gold mine — and the chance to remake himself in Trump's Washington.
On his remarkable return as a jet-setting influence broker directing a transatlantic operation to keep the United States out of war.

Northview, an Indiana megachurch, didn't fire its minister last year when he was accused of propositioning a woman during counseling (he said it was a "pressure test"). Then, this week, C. J. Johnson is suddenly fired.

Wrap up the World Cup’s opening weekend with @SophiaCai99’s mesmerizing insider account of the political machinations that made it possible.
It is a story of how the US government broke FIFA — and then made it stronger than ever. —>

putting the deal right on JD‘s shoulders…
I am pleased to hear the memorandum of understanding with Iran to allow the Strait of Hormuz to open has been agreed to. I will be watching closely the ensuing negotiations regarding Iran’s nuclear program and other matters.
I am somewhat concerned that Iran’s view of the agreement seems different than what the American negotiating team is claiming.
Under our law, any nuclear deal with Iran will be sent to Congress for review and a vote. I look forward to reviewing the final product and I believe it is imperative that the architect of the deal, Vice President Vance and his negotiating partners, be part of the process in presenting the final deal to Congress.
Congratulations to all in getting us to this point. Time will tell.

We saw this complexity right away as they started the game. My son, who has been following frustrations after frustrations of @USMNT for many years, turned to me and said “Dad, I can’t believe we are seeing this”.
As a lifelong USMNT fan, I find it so pleasantly disorienting to read stuff like this.

Gustavo Alfaro, the Paraguay coach, puts defeat down to the "complexity" of the US approach. "They dominated tactically, technically and physically... they create a pentagon in midfield... they have a solution to every problem".

This 4th goal was just beautiful. In my head it was a lot of passes… turns out it was a LOT. Just incredible composure and confidence to keep it moving and then finish it with a bang.
