Bill Maher asks Gov. Josh Shapiro about his Jewish faith and how young people now think it’s “kind of cool” to hate Jews. MAHER: “You’re a Democrat running possibly for [president], and you’re Jewish.” SHAPIRO: “Yeah.” MAHER: “And this is somehow maybe a complete deal breaker in the Democratic Party.” “I mean, the speed at which antisemitism has gone to a place where I never imagined it would go.” “Just this past week, bombings at synagogues in Toronto, Belgium, and Michigan.” “The guy drove a truck with explosives into the largest synagogue in West Bloomfield, Norway. They arrested someone. Suspicious behavior outside of the synagogue in Rotterdam, the Netherlands.” “I see a pattern here.” “And somehow it got to where among the young people, antisemitism got to be kind of cool.” “You think you could, if you did run for president, you could fight this and convince the Democratic Party that being Jewish isn’t like the worst thing a person could be?” Watch how Shapiro answers in this two-minute clip. How do you think he did?

In @TheAtlantic on the Michigan terror attempt. theatlantic.com/ideas/2026/03/… "If the Jewish state is the source of world evil—meriting its eradication from the “river to the sea”—then it’s just a matter of statistics that, sooner or later, somebody will decide to begin the eradicating against easier targets closer to home. The project of encouraging anti-Zionism without fomenting anti-Semitism is reminiscent of many other attempts to separate marginalized groups from their aspirations to equality: anti-feminism without misogyny, anti-desegregation without racism. It’s not theoretically impossible, it just doesn’t happen very often or very naturally in the real world."

The case for bringing in Ryan Mason 1. The argument for Mason isn’t tactical brilliance, it’s time compression. A mid-season survival run requires: •minimal tactical learning curve •emotional reset •clear communication Mason already knows: •the squad personalities •the training routines •the roles players are comfortable in So the team could revert quickly to something familiar rather than learning Tudor’s aggressive man-oriented system. That alone can produce a short-term improvement. 2. The strongest case for making the change: If the dressing room has lost Tudor, then his system becomes unworkable. His approach depends on: •intense pressing coordination •defenders trusting man-to-man duels •high physical commitment If players don’t buy in, the result is exactly what you’re describing: •chaotic spacing •defenders isolated •constant transitions against you At that point the manager cannot fix it on the training ground. Tudor has made no positive impact . 3. What Mason would likely change immediately: He would almost certainly simplify: Defensive shape •back four rather than hybrid pressing shapes •more zonal defending instead of strict man marking Midfield roles •keep Xavi Simons (chatgpt://generic-entity?number=2) central consistently •use Archie Gray (chatgpt://generic-entity?number=3) as a stabilizer in midfield Attack •quicker service to Dominic Solanke (chatgpt://generic-entity?number=4) •less complicated build-up The idea would be stability, not ideology. 4. The main risk with Mason: The same reason West Brom moved on from him: •he hasn’t yet proven he can sustain structure over a long run of matches •tactical adjustments mid-game can be limited But in a short survival window, that matters less than buy-in and clarity. 5. If the club were making the decision strictly on survival odds; the hierarchy would ask: •Is Tudor losing the dressing room? •Are players actively resisting the system? •Are performances deteriorating rather than stabilizing? If the answer to those is yes, then a reset, even with a limited coach, should be able to add 3–6 points quickly, which in a relegation fight can be decisive. We’ve gotten no bounce from Tudor. We’ve gotten them before with Mason. All the warning signs are present. Tudor must be replaced ASAP. Mason’s familiarity could create the fastest short-term stabilization, even if he isn’t the long-term solution. I’d take the risk. If we go down, let’s go with one of our own. @VFTLpodcast

French Prime Minister Calls for Resignation of UN's Francesca Albanese. “Today, there is a semantic strategy of turning the accusation around, depriving Jews of their history, turning them from victims into perpetrators. Talking about ‘genocide’ in Gaza to strip them of their memory of the Holocaust. To relativize. To invert.”

@mitch_fretton I was impressed with him when we played his Marseille in the CL. Seems like he’s captured the niche coaching lane of a successful interim. He’s a good crisis manager.

Worth noting that Igor Tudor took over from Thiago Motta in 2024/25 at Juventus. They lost one of their remaining nine matches that season and qualified for the Champions League. Tottenham need that same impact.

@ChrisCowlin Touching

Richarlison's message to Thomas Frank... "Thanks mister for everything!!!" #COYS #THFC

I mean, that is just ridiculous.

@InvertTheWing Me too. Spot on.

Just do not know what it is, man. Never rated him as much as someone like Moore, or even LWB. But I just get the feeling Dane Scarlett will make it at Tottenham one day. Whether it be under Frank, or the next manager. But I just see it. The guy has NEVER looked out of place in his cameos.

When the terrorists came to the home of 83-year-old Shlomo Ron in Kibbutz Nachal Oz, they found him waiting for them, on a couch near the window. An 83-year-old man with a cup of coffee in his hands. He wasn't armed; he was just waiting. Hamas barbarians shot dead the man they thought was a lonely old man at point-blank range, murdered him, and moved on to the next house. That was why he sat that way. Inside the house's safe room were Shlomo's beloved wife, Chana, his daughter, and his grandson. Shlomo left the safe room so Hamas thinks he was the only one in the house and saved the lives of his wife, daughter, and grandson. He succeeded. Yesterday, his wife Chana passed away. May their memories be a blessing.

Statement from the family of Alex Pretti, Michael and Susan Pretti:  “We are heartbroken but also very angry.    Alex was a kindhearted soul who cared deeply for his family and friends and also the American veterans whom he cared for as an ICU nurse at the Minneapolis VA hospital. Alex wanted to make a difference in this world. Unfortunately he will not be with us to see his impact. I do not throw around the hero term lightly. However his last thought and act was to protect a woman.    The sickening lies told about our son by the administration are reprehensible and disgusting. Alex is clearly not holding a gun when attacked by Trump’s murdering and cowardly ICE thugs. He has his phone in his right hand and his empty left hand is raised above his head while trying to protect the woman ICE just pushed down all while being pepper sprayed.    Please get the truth out about our son. He was a good man. Thank you”

@InvertTheWing This has got to be left-footed VDV at LFB, Xavi @ 10, Solanke @ 9, Spence @ RW(where he looked terrific vs Dortmund)

WOW.

@InvertTheWing Ouch

Vicario leaving the club is better than 90% of the signings that you could make. It is like finding a cure for a terminal illness.

Actual footage of American history being erased.

@HotspurLane Love him

Can we speak about Kevin Danso? Hardly ever puts a foot wrong, another good performance yesterday. I can’t remember the last time we had a back-up CB we could rely on. 🇦🇹 ⚔️

I’m in the emergency room at Jerusalem’s Hadassah Ein Kerem hospital. Lying in the bed next to me is an Arab guy with two broken legs and a broken arm. Being treated by Jewish and Arab doctors and nurses. He was injured in a head on traffic accident while on a skiing holiday with his family in Georgia and has just arrived after being flown back. I don’t know whether he’s an Israeli citizen or a Jerusalem resident. It doesn’t matter. His father says how grateful they are for the medical treatment they are receiving here and how it’s the best. In an apartheid state, Arabs don’t go on skiing vacations abroad. They don’t come back home to world class medical treatment from both Arab and Jewish doctors. They don’t get treated like equals in a hospital. Because Israel isn’t an apartheid state. And if you have to spend any time in an Israeli hospital, you’ll see it for yourself. Oh, and I’m ok btw. 😷

MIssissippi's largest synagogue destroyed in an arson attack on the Sabbath. The fact this isn't the biggest story of the morning, or the day so far, should tell you just how normalized anti-Semitic action is becoming. mississippitoday.org/2026/01/10/fir…

Without doubt, THE best moment of 2025 🤍

@TheCinesthetic Absolutely brilliant. My go-to whenever I need a belly laugh.

Robin Williams explaining how golf was invented remains one of the greatest stand-up bits ever recorded.

@VivekGRamaswamy Exactly. So why is your president and party seeking to disenfranchise or deport some American citizens? As you said, an American citizen is an American citizen.

Here’s proof of why the “heritage American” ideology is a fallacy: it implies Biden is “more American” than Trump (son of an immigrant), Bernie Sanders is “more American” than Bernie Moreno (an immigrant), and Elizabeth Warren (Native American) is “more American” than Marco Rubio (son of immigrants). All of which is utterly loony. An American citizen is an American - period.
