“Knicks fans, this is not a dream!”

As I said (and this story confirms) Trump is keeping the tarp up. His spun-glass ego can't handle this. Meanwhile, we're losing a war, gas is still expensive, and some guys are gonna kick each other on the South Lawn. *golf clap* nytimes.com/2026/06/13/us/po…

Community policing looks a bit different when the @FIFAWorldCup is in town! Our officers celebrated alongside fans, both international and local, during Day 1 of @FWC26Boston Fan Fest on City Hall Plaza!

So much for Rubio’s attempt to mend ties with India on his recent trip there. The Trump administration continues to take actions that infuriate India — notably a recent military strike on a commercial ship near Oman that killed three Indian sailors. Now Rubio warns India.

This is absolutely insane. A "biolab" is a place where diseases (plant, animal, and human) are studied - kind of like the numerous BIOLABS across the US studying screwworm outbreaks and effective drugs to use to combat it. Framing literal normal science as some kind of sinister plot is psychotic.

The Trump admin continues to treat AI like a screwdriver that is also enriched uranium: That is, apparently advanced AI is such a normal technology that it’s crazy to limit chip exports to China but also such an abnormal technology that we can’t let British employees of NYC banks access it

Reyna shooting with the outside of his foot like that my lord what a pretty shot.

About 150 people are waiting for a 14-member crew to build the scaffolding needed to remove the 18 offending letters. The atmosphere is festival-like: People have brought their dogs, their partners and their kids. They oohed as lightning spidered across the sky and ahhed at a double rainbow. They cheered when a one-wheel rider zipped through the center's horseshoe driveway in a rainbow crop top and shorts, waving a bisexual pride flag. The Foo Fighters' "My Hero" blasted, followed by a request from a guy shouting to the workers above. "Remove the 'T' first!"

USA! 🇺🇸 USA! 🇺🇸 USA! 🇺🇸 #WorldCup

SCOOP: Despite insisting that a $1.776 billion “anti-weaponization” fund has been scrapped, the administration is quietly assuring allies that payout plans remain on track, @S_Fitzpatrick reports. theatlantic.com/politics/202…

Show of hands: who thinks “the Iranians” are privately telling Trump not just that they are desperate for a deal, but that they can’t believe how great their media coverage has been in the US?

I’m not saying it’s rigged, I’m saying it stinks to high heaven, and everybody knows that. Some of these efforts are so diabolical and so far upstream it’s impossible to prove. But I think everybody knows instinctively something is wrong here.

Look, I’m sorry but I just can’t believe the Knicks came all the way back. And I bet a lot of my fellow basketball fans feel similarly. This calls into question the legitimacy of their Game Four win.

Not Overheard at the Pentagon (b/c I am not allowed to go there anymore), from GWOT vet in response to the proposed Global War on Terror war memorial, unveiled today: "My idea was to have an eternal flame at the bottom of a big hole that you could just throw money at. That would reenact the war for me."

Counterpoint: No.

Cool cool cool, no doubt no doubt.

In a two-way race in 2024, Donald Trump got 26.5% of the vote in City of Los Angeles. In a three-way race in 2026, Spencer Pratt has 26.7% of the vote. I'm not sure what the mystery is that demands a conspiratorial explanation.

Trump's approval rating is in freefall

I was supposed to be in Uganda last week but… Ebola. So here’s a dispatch from Kenya, about how the USAID shutdown has let this latest Ebola outbreak spiral so quickly, and why Trump admin recklessness may turn it into the worst Ebola epidemic ever: slate.com/news-and-politics/…
