The big soccer tournament starts today so I am going to be doing a lot less sight-seeing for the rest of my trip but we did sneak in a ferry trip to Bainbridge Island — thanks to so many of you who recommended it! — on Tuesday. A few snaps I took are below.

State Assemblyman Zohran Mamdani pulled off a MASSIVE upset Tuesday night, outpacing former New York Gov. Andrew Cuomo, who conceded the Democratic primary for New York City mayor shortly after 10 pm eastern time. So, what does it all mean? First of all, be careful reading too much into a single primary in a massively liberal enclave like New York City. One race is one race. It doesn’t tell us everything we need to know about the future of the Democratic party.

Seattle! How have I never been here before? It’s 65 degrees. Sunny. Birds are chirping. And I just got great coffee at a local coffee shop. This, my friends, is the life!I wanted to share a little of my trip — when I can — with you all so I picked a few, um, pics from Monday that captured our day. The first thing we did was head to a noon (pacific time!) kickoff at Lumen Field between Paris Saint German (PSG) and Seattle Sounders in the Club World Cup.

I am writing this from about 50,000 feet up — as I jet toward Seattle. (Insert joke about this being the highest I have ever been while writing a Substack post.)Fun story: My flight was supposed to leave at 9 am on Sunday. Wanna guess what time it left? 7 pm!!!!Just your average 10-hour delay. (And, no, I will not out the airline — as much as I want to!)Anywho, we are making it — albeit very, very late.

I expected that after buying time with his I-will-make-a-decision-in-the-next-two-weeks pronouncement late in the week that Trump would wait (and wait) until he could find a way to make a deal with Iran on its nuclear ambitions. My thinking went like this: Trump sees himself as the world’s greatest dealmaker.

Someone in my weekly Friday Mailbag post asked if I ever worried about being fired or canceled for a social media post back when I worked for legacy media. Here's my response: https://t.co/wPdnt4qsHY
