USMNT is special to me. This group of players is a microcosm of what makes the United States singular. It's a group of players with different backgrounds coming together for something greater than themselves. It's a chance for us to all get behind something and put our differences aside. If that is not something to be patriotic about, I don't know what will get you there. I urge everyone to unconditionally get behind this team and help make this tournament the greatest positive inflection point for this sport in this country. A big thank you to all of you for being a part of the community and conversation. I can't wait for the boys to put on a show tonight. I truly believe they will.
Matt Turner on the HBO documentary on the USMNT: "It doesn't look one specific way to be American. It doesn't sound one specific way to be American. This is the beauty of being an American."
If everyone would listen and believe that, what a country this could be
Btw speaking of theories of attention, Ossoffs thing of popping up every month or so to drop a novel way of saying that a lot of people are mad about is another good one
Ossoff: This is the cruelest and most arrogant group of people who have ever ascended to high office—and their cruelty and arrogance are matched only by their incompetence.
Thought this was a very correct and very well-written take on…whatever all of that was.
This isn't about "digital vs. not digital." It's about whether the 20-year-advent of social media should change how we think about strategy itself.

I wrote about the @headquarters68_ debate.
I hope this is validating for the digital staffers who have been slugging it out on campaigns for years, and constructive for those who manage them.

Cynics and defeatists share the same story as authoritarians do: that nothing is worth trying, the conclusion is foregone, hope is naïve, and attempts to resist are too small or futile.
Don’t listen to them. Do not give up. Try. A better world is possible. We will win. We must.
In 2022, we (DOJ) updated the federal use of force policy for the 1st time in 20 years. It included a duty to render medical aid and specifics on how firearms may not be discharged at a moving vehicle in most circumstances. Every law enforcement agency, including ICE, adopted it. This effort was led by former Associate AG @vanitaguptaCR and the memo has not been rescinded.
This is critical in the wake of the Minneapolis ICE shooting. Full memo here:

People are paying 13 percent more for their utilities since Trump took office and his response is to stop energy projects already under construction.
It's sabotage and it will raise costs even more and kill many more jobs.
Congressional Republicans, last seen voting for a massacre of the clean energy production that is the only chance of meeting data center demand, now all trying to find the guy who did this…
President Donald Trump soon will be traveling to Pennsylvania to tout his economic agenda ahead of the 2026 midterms, a White House spokesperson told Newsmax on Thursday. newsmax.com/politics/donald-…

JUST IN: The Trump administration asks the Supreme Court to stop — by 9:30 tonight — the court orders requiring payment of full November SNAP benefits.
Nancy Pelosi didn’t just make history, she used her power to make people’s lives better.
Health care. Climate action. Equality. A generation of women leaders.
Few have done more to move this country forward. Forever grateful for the one and only @SpeakerPelosi.
Mikie Sherrill put energy costs at the center of her campaign, promised to freeze utility prices, and built a double digit advantage on this issue.
Now she’s the governor-elect.
There’s an energy crisis, clean energy is the solution, and we should say it with our chests.
Dems went toe to toe with the Trump cult on energy prices in Virginia and New Jersey tonight. The foes of clean energy got clobbered. Turns out people like cheaper electricity from clean sources. Big wins tonight for clean energy.
Mamdani, Spanberger, and Sherrill are three very different candidates.
But they all three ran disciplined campaigns, laser focused on costs and affordability.
And they’re all three racking up huge wins tonight.
