JFK was 43 when he became president in 1961. There's no reason why Jon Ossoff shouldn't be POTUS in January 2027 aged 39. The US has to rebrand itself and shake off the curse of gerontocracy. #ossoff2028

I wonder if Russell Brand’s fanboys and girls - you know, the rape apologists - have watched the Netflix documentary today? It’s called Open Secret. It’s pretty devastating. And remember, there’s so much more to come out. Like I said in a recent post, it’s Savile-esque. Brand is a monster. He’s exactly where he belongs.

Svitolina d. Aryna Sabalenka 6-3 3-6 6-1
ELINA REACHES THE WTA FINALS SEMIFINALS FOR THE 1ST TIME SINCE 2019.
This is also her 1st win over Aryna in 6 years and her 1st time beating her on a hardcourt.
10th top 10 win of 2026… the only player with more this year is world No. 1 Elena Rybakina.
✅53rd top 10 win
7 years have gone by since she last qualified for this event.
To see her back here after becoming a mom, injuries, and surgery is a story of pure passion.
Life has tested her, but resilience has no limits. 🥹
🇺🇦💙

It’s shocking and heartbreaking to hear that Dan Hicks has passed. 💔 Dan Hicks called every one of my Olympic races, from Sochi to Cortina, and his voice is etched into every one of those memories. He was professional, and impactful. He was always prepared and always let the moment shine. Ski racing was so lucky to have him. Sending all my love to Hannah, their girls and the @NBCOlympics family.
"Just get to the line." I'll hear his voice shouting that forever. Thank you, Dan.🙏

Jet-powered Russian drones with Nvidia chips are now breaking into Ukrainian airspace and killing people because Starlink restrictions hinder Ukrainian air defense.

The US is once again deliberately allowing Ukrainian civilians to be killed
We have detected speed restrictions on Starshield on our Ukrainian territory – in the temporarily occupied parts of Ukraine. The speed limit is back at 161 kilometers per hour – that’s 100 miles per hour.
This directly affects our ability to intercept Russian jet-powered “shahed” drones. These drones come from those areas, and because of the speed restrictions, we simply cannot catch up with them in time.
Near the frontline, we cannot use our aircraft. Only drone interceptors can operate there. And without the speed we need, shooting down these “shaheds” becomes much harder.
This means more Russian strikes get through, and more of our people are killed by Russia. We are trying to get the details from the American side, but so far, we know very little.
If someone in America is making decisions that basically treat Ukrainian territory as if it is not Ukrainian, then this tells us where things are going. We need to be clear and never recognize Russia’s occupation of Ukrainian territory in any way.

Mélanie Meillard ist heute beim Slalomtraining in Levi gestürzt. Die 28-Jährige erlitt dabei eine Distorsion des rechten Kniegelenkes, das von Verletzungen bisher verschont wurde. Aus diesem Grund wird sie morgen beim ersten Weltcup-Slalom der Saison nicht am Start stehen, sondern kehrt für medizinischen Abklärungen in die Schweiz zurück.

Undici anni fa, gli attentati terroristici di Parigi sconvolgevano l’Europa, spezzando la vita di 130 persone innocenti. Tra loro c’era Valeria Solesin, una giovane italiana di appena 28 anni, uccisa al Bataclan.
Oggi vogliamo ricordarla attraverso le parole di sua madre, che custodiscono tutto l’amore, il dolore e la forza di un legame che nessuna violenza potrà mai spezzare.
Nel ricordo di Valeria e di tutte le vittime di quella terribile notte, rinnoviamo il nostro impegno a difendere la libertà, la vita e i valori che ci uniscono.
Per non dimenticare. Mai.

The American public spoke clearly last week. They rejected Trumpism. But we have yet to earn our mandate. That will require bold leadership.
I called on Sen. @ChrisVanHollen to lead our caucus as a candidate back in April because he leads with courage and experience. We need both right now. Which is why I’m proud to stand with him in his bid to lead our Senate majority.

Europeans want levels of public spending they can no longer afford while fragmented parliaments and populist politics make it almost impossible to fix the problems other than by borrowing
