I love a good road trip, but this is brutally out of touch: a Trump Cabinet member making a documentary about himself while regular families can’t afford road trips anymore, because Trump and his war put gas prices through the roof.

When the Savannah Bananas revived a Negro Leagues team I was v. intrigued. The Indianapolis Clowns are a historic/fraught franchise. I spoke w/players+a Bananas exec+historians to see how they're thinking about Clowns 2.0. Read my feature in @theatlantic.com www.theatlantic.com/magazine/202...

Cobi Jones could hardly believe he was a professional during most of his career. As he becomes immortalized in bronze this weekend by the LA Galaxy, he is eager to be a voice helping players navigate a very different soccer landscape in the U.S. www.usatoday.com/story/sports...

Today's struggle:

NEW — Iran had already presented a 10-point plan. Then Trump wakes up today and threatens to blow up Iran's "whole civilization" if they don't bend. And then, just an hour before his deadline, he announces a ceasefire, citing Iran's "workable" 10-point plan.

Happy Easter, everyone.

Now they know what it’s like for contractors doing business with Trump Org over many decades.

Younger people won't believe this, but the Republican Party used to complain that Barack Obama was too self-centered.

It's out! The second episode of Football Cities is live. I went to Monterrey to explore the rivalry between Tigres & Rayados, let you know how to get to the gleaming Estadio BBVA, &, of course, show you the best tacos, coffee & activities the Sultana del Norte has to offer. youtu.be/v93pQ9sWW_8?...

With voucher applications closing, data shows less than 1% of Texas public school families applied for a voucher. Last year, I warned the Senate that vouchers would mainly benefit private school kids who can already afford to pay. This was never about school choice. Watch below:

REPORTER: Yesterday you told us Israel was going to strike Iran and that's why we needed to get involved. But today the president said Iran-- RUBIO: No. Were you there yesterday? REPORTER: Yes. I asked the question

WELCH: Mr. Yoho is also the husband of your former spokesperson, Tricia McLaughlin? NOEM: Yes WELCH: So your former assistant and her husband are the ones that got the DHS no bid contract for $143m. Any dispute about that? NOEM: No.

Yesterday the Texas Rangers erected a statue of a segregationist cop at Globe Life Field. A statue that was removed from public property in 2020 because of its racist history. @mlb.com has refused to comment. www.cupofcoffeenews.com/cup-of-coffe...

Will Petar Musa finish the 2026 season with FC Dallas? @3rddegree.net

Trump plans to send $10 billion in funds that Congress hasn’t appropriated from the US Treasury to an organization that he will continue to chair personally even after he is out of office. This is looting.

2+4. 3+3. What do these mean when it comes to MLS roster building? Is there a clear benefit choosing one or the other? Is one model a ‘cheap’ way in building a roster? For FAM, today we’re analyzing MLS Roster Construction Models.

If this were the Concacaf Curling Championship, Real España would concede.

Love how LAFC, under the radar, got Nkosi Tafari for peanuts from FC Dallas and, with Aaron Long injured, has emerged as a starter for them week in and week out.

I don't play fantasy MLS but what the hell is this league doing with this whole KickBase thing? In fantasy football, I've never had to pay for it/watch an ad to see my score. But apparently, on this new app you do? And you have to pay to see players' pictures? Why?

Legit a really good get for Atlético. Luccin had a really aggressive, fun style of play in his interim reign. We’ll see what tweaks he makes to it now as a FT coach. He’s super familiar with Dallas after being here for so long and is highly regarded as a coach with his playing pedigree. Home run

I hope all who have enjoyed the amazing work of @3rddegree.net in the last 30 years, will find their way to this event and wish well, "my Hero, your Hero, everybody's Hero." 🥲

New video analysis from the Times: “A frame-by-frame assessment of actions by Alex Pretti and the two officers who fired 10 times shows how lethal force came to be used against a target who didn’t pose a threat.”

AOC: This is quite a bit of market concentration. Agreed? CVS HEALTH CHAIR DAVID JOYNER: No. I'd suggest it's a model that works well for the consumer AOC: It works well for CVS. Health insurance gets a cut, pharmacy benefit manager gets one, drug manufacturer gets one, & the patient gets screwed

Well that sucks.
