“We know how it feels to be a child and have a ball at your feet. Every time I have the opportunity to help another kid have that feeling again, that's important to me.” ✨ Bukayo and his family's work has funded emergency housing and shelters for families affected by the devastating earthquakes in Turkey and Morocco and has also helped children in Nigeria, and all over Africa with transformative surgeries. A star on and off the pitch. Congratulations, Bukayo ❤️

We'll see, but the polls out of Texas are earthquake stuff. No TX Dem has polled as well as Talarico at the end of a Senate campaign since 1988. No TX GOP Sen nominee in the 2000s has been as unpopular as Paxton. Trump's the most unpopular GOP pres pre-midterm in the 2000s.

Ceci est du trumpisme, mais avec du bon français et des plumes.
J’ai pris note aujourd’hui de la nouvelle offre de Mark Carney d’obtenir le droit de m’assoir à sa table d’honneur à titre de spectateur, sans droit de parole ni droit de négocier au nom du Québec. Cette proposition revient à demander au Québec de rentrer dans les rangs, avec la vassalisation et l’invisibilisation du Québec que cela implique, en échange d’obtenir de meilleurs sièges de spectateurs pour regarder la partie. Comme premier ministre, je refuserai toujours que le Québec soit réduit au rôle de spectateur lorsqu’il s’agit de représenter et protéger les intérêts économiques et politiques des Québécois. La réalité est que nous sommes devant une stratégie de marginalisation du Québec sur la scène internationale et de subordination des champs de compétence du Québec à la volonté du fédéral. Je note à cet effet que tous les chefs de partis de l’Assemblée nationale ont indiqué hier que s’ils étaient dans la position de premier ministre et devant un tel sommet sur le territoire du Québec, ils s’attendraient à prendre la parole et à participer à part entière. À Ottawa, le chef de l'opposition officielle ainsi que le chef du Bloc Québécois ont également appuyé notre demande. J’ai donc pris la plume et j’ai écrit aux représentants de l’Union européenne pour leur rappeler que des ententes qui impliquent l’Europe et le Québec doivent forcément passer par le gouvernement du Québec, et à plus forte raison si le sommet se tient sur notre territoire. Le refus de nous donner la parole à titre d’hôte pour souhaiter la bienvenue à nos invités y est également mentionné. Je lance donc l’invitation pour une discussion bilatérale dans un meilleur contexte qui permettrait au Québec de ne pas être exclu. À ce titre, j’enverrai le diplomate en chef du Québec, Pascal Paradis, pour ouvrir ces canaux de discussion pour la suite.

This, IMHO, is what it looks like when the bottom falls out.
President Trump is scrapping a planned trip to Kansas this weekend to campaign for the embattled Republican incumbent Sen. Roger Marshall, opting instead to conduct a flurry of virtual tele-rallies, @Kevinliptakcnn reports.

🚨BREAKING: Federal Court ORDERS DOJ and DHS to identify, by noon tomorrow, every state they’ve sent demands to remove alleged non-citizens from the rolls, withhold mail ballots, or segregate ballots. A victory for DSCC, DCCC, DGA and the Nevada Democratic Party!

"Israel’s Election Destroyed the ‘It’s Only Netanyahu’ Lie" The country is in the grip of genocidal mania and any hope that change will come from within Israeli society is now extinguished. It is Netanyahu who will emerge victorious from the ‘deadlock’. zeteo.uk/p/israels-election-…

The New Yorker edges towards recognising the racism inherent in the Israeli electoral dilemma: "If you combine the Jewish parties and the Arab parties in the anti-Netanyahu bloc, they secured more votes. But the pro-Netanyahu bloc won more votes from Jewish Israelis. Many will view this as the election’s bottom line: that a “Zionist majority” is the only one that counts" newyorker.com/news/the-lede/…

Thank you to a former Trump official for saying what a lot of centrist Democrats refuse to. 👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👇🏽👇🏽👇🏽
Pretty rich for Haley Stevens to lecture Abdul El-Sayed about “hate” over an ad his campaign has explicitly disavowed while Mike Rogers is running one of the most racist and bigoted campaigns I’ve ever seen. The hate in this race is being directed at Abdul, not coming from him.
