With his sentencing in New York now postponed indefinitely, it's safe to say the attempt to prosecute Donald Trump has come to an end. I've collected all my @NYMag stories on Trump's trials in one place. You can find the archive here andrewrice.net/trumptrials

Phillies announce top prospect Aidan Miller will be out 6 to 8 weeks to undergo a minimally invasive back procedure. Hopefully some resolution here at least

Scandalous how few questions fifa’s executives have taken on the ticketing fiasco, outside of very softball Gianni appearances on stages at expensive conferences. If he wants to act like a head of state, he really ought to take the scrutiny that comes with it.
I believe we now have evidence of FIFA's World Cup ticketing shell game: FIFA is colluding with third-party resale platforms for its own supply management. Look at this SeatGeek map (secondary market!) for Saudi Arabia vs Cape Verde. The circled areas are not random single resale tickets, but large, contiguous blocks of seats: entire rows and swaths in sections 101/102, 112/113, 119/120, 134–137, 139, ... The blue circles appeared weeks ago, then the purple blocks suddenly showed up a day or two ago, and the red blocks seem to have appeared recently too. That's not what ordinary fan or even commercial scalper resale looks like who resell pairs, fours, and scattered seats. Instead, this looks like inventory being dumped in bulk onto secondary markets, at prices below FIFA's official site. Why doesn't FIFA just lower prices on its own site Probably because official price cuts could trigger refund demands, chargebacks, or consumer-protection headaches from fans who already bought at much higher prices. Instead FIFA keeps official prices high, avoids openly admitting the market-clearing price is lower, and moves unsold inventory through third-party resale platforms instead.

My latest @NYMag feature was a fun change of pace from writing about all things Trump. It’s about FIFA, Gianni Infantino, all the expectation and tumult surrounding this summer’s World Cup. And oh yeah … also Trump nymag.com/intelligencer/arti…

I wonder if anyone has told the governor of New Jersey that with the simple movement of a few cones at the exit of the Lincoln Tunnel, she could really cause some traffic problems in Weehawken
The latest twist in the tension between New York, New Jersey and FIFA: Gov. Sherrill wanted a name change at least on one part of stadium (name has been New York first since the bid in 2018…) to reflect investments and role played by New Jersey in tournament…. Full story :

Not one second of World Cup soccer is being played in New York
New York isn’t just hosting the World Cup. New York is the World Cup.

Can we blame Zohran Mamdani for this somehow?
Braves 5, Phillies 3 The Phillies lose their 10th consecutive game. It is the franchise’s longest losing streak since an 11-game losing streak from Sept 4-14, 1999. It is only their fifth losing streak of 10 or more games since 1972.

The DOJ has been under great pressure from the White House to bring cases against NGOs that are deemed to be anti-Trump and his movement. Reuters has reported Stephen Miller is playing a “central role.” More of these cases likely to come reuters.com/legal/government…
Today, a grand jury in Alabama returned an 11-count indictment charging the Southern Poverty Law Center with wire fraud, false statements to a federally insured bank, and conspiracy to commit concealment money laundering. @splcenter stands accused of manufacturing and creating the very extremism it purports to oppose. Instead of dismantling extremism, @splcenter was funding it. I would like to thank our partners from @USAO_MDAL and @FBI for their incredible efforts in bringing this case. Today is just the beginning, stay tuned.

The thing in this interview I found most striking is that you can be a former US Senator and university president, privileged in every way, and still find out you're dying in a phone call from a doctor who initially can't be bothered to pull over his car nytimes.com/2026/04/09/opini…

My contribution to the cover package is a feature on the many efforts in the works inside the DOJ to investigate and potentially prosecute Trump’s targets. The new acting AG, Todd Blanche, has been in the middle of the internal battles over how far to go nymag.com/intelligencer/arti…
