President Donald Trump on Thursday pledged a U.S. aid response for Venezuela after the nation was rocked by two devastating earthquakes outside the capital of Caracas.

INGLEWOOD, Calif. – Few could fault U.S. men’s national team head coach Mauricio Pochettino for being as obvious as possible with his heavily-rotated team for Thursday’s game against Turkiye, even if it was a bit comical upon first glance. Then again, the concept of a dead rubber game at a World Cup, where the stakes are as high as they could ever be, is hilarious in its own right.

Foreign policy Muddling Through on the MOU It’s too early to see through the fog of warring and negotiating, but J.D. Vance’s stock is rising—with Trump’s backing. Over 250 years of U.S. history, Wikipedia tallies some 500 American military interventions. Some we remember, and most—such as the First and Second Sumatran Expeditions—we don’t. So now today, amidst all those hundreds, where will the Iran War fit in? Wise minds say of the impact of great events, “It’s too soon to tell.” In the meantime, the stock market is up (the Dow Jones is up some 3,000 points from where it…

Uruguay face Spain at Estadio Guadalajara in the early hours of Saturday morning in a match they must win to guarantee their place in the World Cup round of 32.Two draws have left Marcelo Bielsa’s side second in Group H on two points, level with Cape Verde on goal difference. A win over Spain — a side they have never beaten in ten previous meetings — secures automatic qualification.

The sweep of socialist candidates in New York’s primary election on Tuesday fulfills a warning Charlie Kirk gave in 2020. Candidates backed by socialist Mayor Zohran Mamdani swept their Democratic primary elections on Tuesday night, winning congressional races against incumbent Reps. Dan Goldman and Adriano Espaillat. A third Mamdani-backed candidate won the primary for a seat in which the incumbent congresswoman is not seeking re-election, CNBC reported. And at the state level, Democratic socialist Aber Kawas, who has blamed the Sept. 11, 2001, attacks on “capitalism and racism, and white supremacy,” also prevailed in her New York state senate primary.…
