Barack Obama has design critiques for Trump’s White House? Has anybody seen his presidential library? Democrats’ star closer gave a totally unserious speech.

At San Jose State, Brennan employed 2 staffers whose job was "Beyond Football" to show players life after football in an effort to make them citizens. He's a true innovator, of the best kind in a world wired to produce pure portal pirates who see players as labor & not students.
After Arizona’s win over Iowa State, Brent Brennan stopped at Dirtbag’s and bought around 300 shots of tequila (a $2,000 bar tab) for UA fans and alumni in town for Homecoming. Brennan paid the tab and walked out. Brennan, on buying a round for Arizona fans at Dirtbag's: "I think it's important that if you want people to show up for you, you have to show up for them. ... It was an expensive five minutes, but it was a good five minutes." (Video via Arizona Athletics)

The World Series' last 2 games are the biggest bargains in elections. Guarantee someone paid this much for the Cowboys game last night just to reach Texas.
Cost for a single 30-second spot to air nationally on FOX tonight during Game 4 of the World Series -- $600,000

America could learn something from Israel on this - all voting in person, with ID, on Election Day - which is a national holiday so nobody can make excuses. We need this system, with precincts in every neighborhood so each can host a Freedom Potluck Picnic outside the polls.
Today is election day in Israel, which is a national holiday. All voting is in person, ID required. No mail-in or absentee ballots. Arabs vote same as Israelis. Contentious process, but it's a democracy-not many of those in this region!
Readers added context they thought people might want to know
The Arab voters are Israeli citizens. Listing them in contrast to Israelis is misconstruing the facts. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Arab_citi… cfr.org/backgrounders/…

Israeli elections are fun because: 1. Israel is the subject of intense global interest 2. Israeli politics is deeply polarized 3. Despite (2), the blocs don't really disagree about the thing that the world is interested in

Tips for reporters on how to interview Abdul: 1) You ask the Qs. He doesn’t. 2) When he asks you a Q, ignore him. Ask your Q again. 3) When he says, “That’s not the Q, the Q is” ignore him. Ask your Q again. 4) When he doesn’t answer, ask him why he refuses to answer. Do your damn job!

One way to prevent the ads from airing is to stop nominating candidates who fit the description.
Obama: “Par for the course is running all kinds of scary ads to make you think Democrats are radicals, or communists, or jihadists, or the woke police…”

You just can't do this, kids.
Rep. Mike Thompson's former staffer TJ Adams-Falconer cuts an ad for his challenger in #CA04: "Thompson's been there too long. ... Mike Thompson told me directly he plans to die in office. I was Mike Thompson's former communications director and I would vote for Eric Jones."

FACT: The annual funding Israel receives from the US amounts to less than one-tenth of 1% of the federal budget. Less than 1/10th of 1%. FACT: That annual funding would cover only a few hours of federal health care spending. A few hours. Yet politicians who specialize in scapegoating would have you believe that Israel is responsible for America’s affordability crisis. Like every form of scapegoating before it, it is a dangerous lie.

Michigan’s El-Sayed isn’t the Democrat fringe. He’s the poster child of the Democrat Party.

I loved running for 30 years. I was almost semi-good at it at times, but that stopped being why I did it years ago. Then I had to stop doing it all together. So for now, I hate runners. My column: bradleytodd.substack.com/p/i…

This is correct @mattgorman. Everyone should get out while they still can. But head north, not south.
If you’re still living in DC in 2026, jokes on you.

Democrats always scream "Trump" to distract from their own awful candidates. Case in point: El-Sayed can't get his own primary opponent to campaign for him, partnered with a guy who said America deserved 9/11, won't condemn the Muslim Brotherhood and won't answer why he signed a letter to Muslim Brotherhood president urging him to “purge the media and police”. His response to everything is "but Trump." El-Sayed is a sinking ship, and the Democrats know it.
