More Colombians fight on Ukraine's front than any other foreign nationality — about 7,000 men, the largest single contingent by a wide margin. Decades hunting guerrillas, paramilitaries, and cartels at home prepared them for the trenches of Donbas. — United24. 1/

Colombia is home to about 2,000 bird species, more than anywhere else on Earth. Decades of conflict kept people out of many areas, preserving the birds’ habitat. Now birders are flocking in. @AndersonCooper reports, Sunday. 60Minutes.com

Trump’s net worth has nearly tripled in his second term, reaching $6.5 billion. His administration is the most brazenly self-enriching in American history. My @Morning_Joe Chart.

The secretive contracts between FIFA and U.S. World Cup host cities offer few details about costs to taxpayers. “These cities are going to invest a lot of money in hosting FIFA, and the people who are paying for that should know,” one expert said. propublica.org/article/world-…

In March Kristi Noem went to Costa Rica and signed an agreement to let ICE send up to 25 third-country nationals to San Jose each week. There have since been 3 flights. 72 people, 18 countries. More in tomorrow's WOLA Border Update.

Wow Scott Jennings blows up at Adam Mockler: “Get your fucking hand out of my face” Mockler: We all know that Scott Jennings is more than happy to defend a war with a country that starts with letters Ira that we are currently failing that is going to put us trillions and trillions of dollars more in debt. I was only a few years old while you were in the administration defending prior endless wars.

President Trump has, in private conversations, begun thinking about himself less as a peer of Washington and Lincoln, and more as an addition to Hegel’s immortal trifecta: Alexander the Great, Caesar, and Napoleon, @AshleyRParker and @michaelscherer write. theatlantic.com/politics/2026/…

From @TheAthleticFC: It was a truly logic-defying game in Paris on Tuesday. This Champions League semifinal was unquestionably the best match of the European season, and presumably the best many people watching it around the world have ever seen. nyti.ms/4dehjJu

It was fitting for Luis Diaz to score the goal that keeps Bayern within one goal of Paris Saint-Germain ahead of next week's second leg. The Colombian is in a special category. Technical, dynamic, and capable of spectacular moments, he also plays with a relentlessness that can be immensely valuable. He does not make the game look easy. Compared to Michael Olise, who glides across the grass and caresses the ball, Diaz plays with clenched fists and a thumping heart. What a pain he must be to face. What a nightmare for a defender, the way he comes back and back for more. But what a marvel of a player. And what a goal. 📝 @SebSB 🔗 nyti.ms/3R9iBg8
