CNN did a segment on Freddy, the German soccer tourist, and sports analyst Christine Brennan claimed "I saw some conversation, Wolf and Pamela, about how the rest of the world is looking at the United States and feeling that we are—it's a foreboding image and that we are inhospitable...But how wonderful again, that sports can bring people here and show people that the United States and you know, the South is welcoming a German tourist in a way we would never have anticipated" Who is "we"?

Elias: Why does California have signature matching? They have it to satisfy the same right-wing zealots who claim there’s fraud, right? So they do this whole kabuki theater that takes all of this time in order to contend with the fact that people say that if you don’t do signature matching, there’s going to be fraud. And then they get attacked for taking the time to do that very thing. The fact that the New York Times thinks there’s a middle ground here… Here’s my message: I don’t compromise with Republicans because there is no middle ground between a firefighter and an arsonist, and they are trying to burn down democracy.

This the basic difference. Republicans believe that that if you let the wealthy spend capital it will make Americans prosperous. Democrats believe that the federal government investing in the healthcare & education of our people will make America prosperous & productive.

Another woman, with left-wing views, comes forward about her experiences with Graham Platner. She joins several others to confirm he’s been lying about not knowing about the meaning of his Nazi tattoo until recently. He also was apparently engaged while sleeping with her.

Buttigieg: Nowhere in the Constitution does it say that there have to be nine Supreme Court justices. That one doesn't even take a constitutional amendment. It just takes a readiness to set up a court that fits this country.  We could have 13 seats matching the district structure of the federal judiciary, but also a process that makes it less partisan. We cannot have partisan warfare every time there's an opening on the court

Everyone always talking about “talent density” in Silicon Valley when we really should be talking about how 80% of pretzels in America come from a small region of Pennsylvania

Breaking: Florida unveils $1.45 billion plan to renovate Ben Hill Griffin Stadium. The project is expected to be the most expensive stadium renovation in college football history. @Swamp_247: 247sports.com/college/florid…

Good morning SportsCenter.

New: Brett Kavanaugh takes on a starring role in Maine’s Senate race Platner and Democrats plan to re-weaponize Susan Collins’ pivotal vote to confirm him; in 2022 he cast a pivotal vote to nuke Roe. Collins indicated in 2018 he wouldn’t do that. She’s said she was misled on that front but stood by her vote. Her campaign says Dems are repackaging “6-year-old leftovers” that failed in 2020, all to “distract from the complete dumpster fire happening on their side of the street.” And there’s another Kavanaugh link in this race that is ruffling feathers. @natashakorecki & me: nbcnews.com/politics/2026-el…

Tom Steyer spent $558 million over the last six years on two races to remain a private citizen.

What verified cases of election fraud have happened in the U.S. since 2000? NC-09 in 2018 is one example. What are the others?
