Thomas Massie should dedicate his remaining 7 months in congress to burning it all down and revealing every last name on the Epstein list, including Trump’s.

In 2023, Jozy Altidore said he would build the USMNT around Yunus Musah. He’s been so impressed by the midfielder. Three years later, Musah is unlikely to make the World Cup squad. What went wrong? That’s the question Altidore was asked on Unfiltered Soccer podcast this week. “I'm a bit surprised, you know,” Altidore said. “This is a guy that I felt like would continue to progress. I think he had all the ability and the tools. “I would love to understand, like a lot of fans, kind of what went wrong there, and the sense of him being called up quite frequently to now one of the guys that's on the fringe. “I'd love to understand more about that, because I think he’s one of the guys I put in the category of, like, even like Gio Reyna, where they just offer something totally different, they can plug into a number of positions at a very high experience level. “He’s been playing at Milan, Valencia, so I think he's a guy, in my opinion, when you're looking for a team of flexibility like a World Cup roster, you want a guy that can plug in everywhere. “And I think he's one of those guys, but hasn't featured, and you know, I'd be really curious to understand why, because again, seems like a bubbly guy, nice to be around, but you know, has been missed around the team over the last few rosters.” Musah hasn’t played for the USMNT since the Nations League games in March of 2025. Still 23, he’s been on loan at Atalanta this season and played 26 games across all competitions. Is it a mistake for Mauricio Pochettino to ignore a player like Musah? 👀

A strong Canada that prioritizes hard power over rhetoric benefits us all. Unfortunately, Canada has failed to make credible progress on its defense commitments. DoW is pausing the Permanent Joint Board on Defense to reassess how this forum benefits shared North American defense. 1/3
