The last time President Trump attended a US Open match, as a presidential candidate in 2015, the booing was so loud that multiple news outlets wrote stories about it. He will be back on Sunday, attending the men’s final, prompting a question: What will ABC/ESPN show and how? >>>

Whether Trump is met by jeers or cheers at Arthur Ashe Stadium on Sunday, the US Tennis Association says it wants the focus to be on the court.

🚨 Trump posted today, declaring war on the city of Chicago. So why is the US Open allowing him to attend the men’s tennis final tomorrow — and censoring broadcasters?

🚨BREAKING: TRUMP GAVE IRAN HIS PERMISSION TO STRIKE A US MILITARY BASE IN QATAR

“They said we’re going to shoot them. Is 1 o’clock ok? I said, it’s fine.”
Don’t lose sight that Trump has no clear foreign policy for anything, including #NATO. The U.S. is no longer leading, not trusted to honor its commitments, nor attractive to our European allies. His bullying has spurred Europe in a way that only makes us less connected, and thus less secure.
Brilliant piece by my brilliant friend, Kori. And exactly why I started Elevation Global Strategies, to help build and expand our community of global partnerships and connections that run deeper than short-sighted, self-destructive policies.
American power relies on cooperative international support Trump takes for granted but is destroying. My @foreignaffairs.com piece:
Dispensable Nation
America in a post-American world.

Trump’s trip to the Middle East is revealing more about America’s actual (narrow and outdated) perceptions of the Gulf states than anything. Especially Qatar. My take? There’s work to be done. The gifted 747/AF1 plane story hasn’t helped.
Going to #Miami? See you there! I’ll be down for the #F1 #MiamiGP taking meetings with officials, sponsors, and events teams, plus some parties and races. DM if you’d like to connect! www.elevation-live.com

Donald Trump fired the heads of the National Security Agency following a meeting with far-right conspiracy theorist Laura Loomer. @defensebaron.bsky.social lays out how these firings give U.S. adversaries the chance to “start trouble.”
