We’ve ruined youth sports. Here’s one coach getting it right. ⚽ On Georgetown's Brian Wiese.

On Sunday night, I went to watch the Georgetown men's soccer team play.

In a sea of professionalization, one-year rental players and a glut of internationals, Georgetown is the rare program that still does it the right way.

I wrote about it here: chriscillizza.substack.com/p/weve-ruine...

Donald Trump pushed Elise Stefanik in front of the political bus.

No one should be surprised. Or feel bad for her.

In my weekly "Mailbag" post, someone asked about Trump and the Saudis.

I dropped a little truth.

Donald Trump is hoping everyone forgets about the Epstein files.

I think that's … unlikely.

Steve Israel spent 16 years in Congress representing Long Island.

He quit a decade ago to open a bookstore.

He's never been happier.

Democrats spend a whole lot of time patting themselves on the back as the "pro-democracy" party.

They don't vote like it.

The 427-1 House vote is a big deal.

And don't let Mike Johnson tell you different.

Donald Trump made a BIG bet that he could tell MAGA to just ignore calls to release the Epstein files and the story would go away.

He bet wrong.

Bigly.

The 22 most stunning lines from Majorie Taylor Greene's incredible CNN interview Utterly remarkable.

The interview Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene gave to CNN on Sunday was truly remarkable.

MTG apologized for her contributions to our toxic politics and insisted she is committed to taking a different path.

So What | Chris Cillizza | Substack An independent news creator. I call balls and strikes no matter what uniform the batter at the plate is wearing. Fair and fearless. Not owned by a billionaire or a massive media conglomerate. Click to...

I am going through the transcript of Marjorie Taylor Greene’s interview on CNN on Sunday.

I am not exaggerating when I say it is one of the most remarkable interviews I have ever seen a politician give.

Stay tuned for my full breakdown on my Substack later today!
