Fact check: Trump’s lying spree about inflation

Grocery prices. Gas prices. Prescription drug prices. Overall prices. Over just three days, Trump made false claims about all of them. | Fact check

Never met anyone who loved golf more than Trumpy. What a good man.

The arc of the moral universe is long, but it bends towards justice. Except it doesn’t bend on its own—it bends because we pull it in the direction of justice. What keeps me hopeful during times like these is being surrounded by people who are doing just that.

Also. Worth. The. Wait.

Very few sports broadcasters are organically original, their impact on a sport lasting forever. I was lucky to work with one of those analysts: Johnny Miller. John Madden was in that stratosphere. And then there is Ray Hudson. Magisterial, indeed.

My neighbor in Orlando mentioned this EXACT concern to me last night!

The President of the United States is threatening to go to war with an American city.

This is not a joke. This is not normal.

Donald Trump isn't a strongman, he's a scared man. Illinois won’t be intimidated by a wannabe dictator.

Worth. The. Wait.

This column is spot-on.

The party of small government is now the party of big brother.

White House Announces Comprehensive Review of Smithsonian Exhibitions

Think about this for a second. It’s grotesque and dangerous.

With The Open upon us, the folks at @rlgchoylake.bsky.social allowed me the space to explore the broad and deep connections between their club and this year’s host, Royal Portrush Golf Club. There were more than I expected.

What a No. 9. Great player and person. Thank you Callum!

Trumponomics 2.0 will erode the foundations of America’s prosperity The Big Beautiful Bill is symptomatic of a wider malaise

To the extent that Donald Trump’s “Big Beautiful Bill” tightens the belt, it does so in the wrong places.

Official projections suggest it will add nearly 12m to the number of Americans without health insurance. That is a scandalous number

The big beautiful bill reveals the hollowness of Trumponomics Republicans battle to pass a profligate but insubstantial law

Donald Trump’s signature legislation will menace the American economy for at least a decade. It is a showcase of fiscal incontinence and ideological exhaustion https://econ.trib.al/niw18BO

Plus, his putting stats were inexplicable. 123 total putts—tied for 6th most by any major champion last 30 years—when he was only 9th in GIR (last 4 Oakmont Open champs had been 1-1-3-1.) Yet, he led field Putting inside 5 feet (52/52), Putting inside 10 feet (60/64), and Feet of Putts Made (402).

But J.J. Spaun’s turnaround mid-round (and others’ downward turns) was beyond belief. 40-32. That 8-stroke improvement was the largest ever by a U.S. Open champion in the final round. And a champion hadn’t even began his final round by going out in 40 or more since Francis Ouimet in 1913.

Few closing thoughts on Sunday, a U.S. Open finish quite unlike the previous 30 I’ve experienced. Six players having at least a share of lead on the final nine was a first (as many as nine at Shinnecock Hills in 1986 was just before my booth time).

Death, love, sex, mistakes, marriage and 'More.' Pulp is back after 2 decades Pulp was the wittiest, bitterest star in the Britpop constellation. On More, the band's first new album in 24 years, singer Jarvis Cocker is learning to trust his feelings.

UEFA CHAMPIONS LEAGUE - WE ARE BACK! 🤩

Three things made the US a rich and powerful nation: the rule of law, its science & innovation system, and openness to foreign talent. Remarkable how Trump has taken a sledgehammer to all three. No enemy of this country could do more.

What a photograph.
