@Evan_P_Grant Exceptionally good piece. And I'm neither a Rangers fan nor part of the Bruce Bochy fan club. Just really nice writing and a sense of immediacy. — PolitiTweet.org

This may be the most frequent line to come out of the World Cup: "a FIFA rep [later] apologized." https://t.co/jtTAEf7ch7 — PolitiTweet.org

@jarowley That is the point that the Times series is hitting hard. I was trying to augment the Times articles by also pointing out the risk of athletes throwing games. — PolitiTweet.org

@SykesCharlie Only thing worse in politics than “no-mentum” is “Joe-mentum” from Lieberman in 2004. — PolitiTweet.org

Reading the Times series on the explosion of sports gambling, I fear we are close to a replay of the Black Sox of 1919 or the basketball point-shaving scandals of the 1950s. There’s so much money out there that a few players will be tempted. — PolitiTweet.org

I strongly endorse this @jackshafer piece: "Until the press can prove they’ve gained super-skills at predicting the future, news outlets should feel free to accept their own limitations and retire from this sordid and misleading racket." https://t.co/2dEHfV1mUo — PolitiTweet.org

After reading the WSJ's in-depth look at the fall of FTX, I look back on my wasted life. Why was I so conventional in my 20s that I didn't have the gumption to come up with an amphetamine-fueled scheme to blow through $8 billion of my investors money? https://t.co/GzrWTm46Lx — PolitiTweet.org

Two of the biggest stories on the front page of the Times (print) are that FIFA (which award the World Cup to Qatar) and the sports betting industry are corrupt. The reporting is excellent. But I already knew that before I waded through all the details. — PolitiTweet.org

@DickPolman1 So love the original mobster story. And it is a perfect image. With "a long grey beard and glittering eye," Trump will be like the Ancient Mariner, who "stoppeth one of three," to tell them a convoluted tale about Dominion Voting Machines and 1,000 mules. — PolitiTweet.org

@JillDLawrence The main argument against special counsels is that their investigations never seem to end, as there are always new charges. But in the case of Trump and his enablers, I don't think that's necessarily a bad thing. — PolitiTweet.org

Very strong @JillDLawrence column arguing for Trump to be brought to justice. I am more on the side of Merrick Garland and his innate caution for I deeply fear a "not guilty" verdict if anything is rushed. But I admit I could be wrong. https://t.co/jwGsDMjeoe — PolitiTweet.org

My hot take: Not having been a prosecutor, I've no idea if appointing a special prosecutor to go after Trump is a good idea. But I do know that being cautious is wise if it lowers the odds that Trump would be acquitted. For a “not guilty” verdict is the worst possible outcome. — PolitiTweet.org
