Soft launch 😂
One of the things the data analysts on our side obsessed over was "composition"—whether the electorate looked close enough to 2024 for Republicans to win. And despite polls that showed a Democrat blowout, the data kept on telling us the same story: in some states turnout was merely OK, in other states it was downright amazing, and in no state was it catastrophic. There was a genuine sense of optimism on our team: our people were showing up. So, I asked the smartest data guy I know, does that mean we're going to shock the world? "No," he told me. "We might do better than the polls suggest. But the data is telling us that a lot of Trump/Vance 2024 voters are pissed and planning to vote for the other guys. Our voters are turning out, but they may not vote for us." Well, that looks prophetic now. Our voters did show up. In Florida, for example, the electorate was 9 points more Republican than Democrat, just a couple points worse than 2024. Undoubtedly there were places we could have done better on turnout. But the main problem is not turnout. The main problem is that many people who voted for Trump/Vance in 2024 voted for Democrats in 2026. There will be a lot of infighting and arguing over what happened and why that is. One of the pollsters I really respect told me that our economic messaging wasn’t sharp enough down the stretch. I’m sure that’s true. But the real reason we lost is obvious to almost everyone. Another pollster—one of the smartest people I know in politics, told me yesterday we’d lose the generic ballot by 13 points. I felt negative going into Tuesday, but even I was shocked by this. In his polling, he saw that a lot of Trump 2024 voters were angry and planning to vote for Democrats. He asked those voters who had abandoned us what would cause them to come back on our team. The top four answers, accounting for nearly all of the responses were: 1) End the war 2) Focus on cost of living/inflation 3) Put America First 4) Change our relationship to Israel Our voters showed up. And the above four reasons are why many of them voted for Democrats. This is according to a pollster who nailed the results. While many spent Monday attacking Rachel Campos Duffy for calling for a diplomatic resolution to the conflict, it turns out her political advice was sound. (She’s also a great person.) In the next few months, there's going to be a lot of gaslighting. Expect to hear any number of establishment politicians say the solution to our woes is amnesty. I'm open to the idea that we should change enforcement—by focusing more on businesses that hire illegal labor, for instance. But anyone pushing amnesty is lying to you. The reason we lost is the war. The president himself said so last night. If you'd like to argue it was worth it, that losing the Senate for the next 6 years was worth it, then do so. Argue it was a worthwhile cost to pay. Agree or disagree, that's at least honest. But everyone knows why we lost. And any honest conversation about where we go from here must start there. I remain hopeful about our country. To the people who are pissed off and want to say, “I told you so”: you’re right, you did tell us so. Take that energy into electing Republicans who share your worldview. To the people who are just pissed at the results, you should be. Let’s take that anger and get back to the work of saving our country.

Well said.
Mikel Merino on whether being a super sub frustrates him: "I mean, I can't say that it's disappointing when they're saying something good about you. If I was playing, I would have, I mean, if I come as a sub, I want to do as good as I can. And if they're telling me that I'm doing a good job, it's something I take pride in. It's not easy to come off the bench, and it's not easy for players at this level that we are either World Cup winners or Euros winners, or we come from clubs that we all play regularly, to adapt to a new role and context. "But this is what football is nowadays. You can't win big trophies or be alive in every competition till the end if you don't have a very deep squad. And we all have to fulfil our roles. That doesn't mean that I'm happy with the role I have or the role my teammates have. It's about trying to do your best, whenever you have the chance of playing. And if you do your best, you're gonna have more chances to play. And then who knows, maybe you, you're a regular starter." Then asked: "And just among the guys that aren't playing regularly in the Premier League, is there that sort of determination among you to get into the Premier League team because, you know, you want to be starting matches?" "Yeah, absolutely. That's the determination that we all have as players. We are very competitive and we want to play every single game. The ones that are starting regularly want to keep playing. The ones that are on the bench, they want to come on and make the difference and start the next game. So that's massive competition that you need in a squad to push each other as teammates. And that's what we did all last season. And you could see that every player that came on the pitch did their job. And in the end, we won the Premier League because of that."

You would never imagine the level of water wasting during wudoo as an African until you travel out. I couldn’t believe my eyes.
Honey wake up, they are using AI generated videos to preach about the harms of wasting water!

If we keep arsene Wenger making these decisions we could be playing a totally different sport in the next 3yrs.
🚨🌍 𝐎𝐅𝐅𝐈𝐂𝐈𝐀𝐋 | FIFA want to keep players on the ball more often and keep matches flowing. They are trialing new rules at the u15 World Cup for this, reports @OneFootball. ✅ • Unlimited substitutes • Kick-ins instead of throw-ins • Offside only applies beyond special marked lines 14 metres from goal line Arsene Wenger: "At this age, the most important thing is to play. When you love a sport, you want to know how good you are."

paid 142ghs for 500GB for month, roaming inclusive. The problem we have in a nutshell is that those supposed to protect our interests are either in bed with, or at the mercy of those ripping us off.
I always say this paying 400 cedis every month for mobile data should at least get me 500GB+ We have gotten too used to being cheated…smh

Is that a long lasting solution? Synthetic teams like Man City have played and won with about a quarter of the size of United. You can’t depend on fans bellowing for you to beat Roma, and if you ever find yourself needing that after 9 winless games, then it’s a short term solutn.
Wayne Rooney urges Old Trafford to turn up the volume against Roma... and for the players to respond! 👹🔴 New Stick to United drops tomorrow on YouTube & Disney+! 🔥

A terrifying moment on the football field involving Detroit Lions linebacker Jack Campbell. Praying for Jack Campbell and hoping for a full recovery. 🙏 #JackCampbell #DetroitLions #SpinalCordInjury #Neurosurgery #NFL

Nobody’s saying you’re shite. You’re the only one who’ve maintained some reasonable level of performance. You’re champions, it’s time to ditch the incessant crying.
