Nicole Hardy Trump shouldn't be threatening to tear down the Kennedy Center just because he wants his name on it.

US Again Denies Abbas Visa Ahead of UN Assembly — 2dThe United States again denied entry visas to Palestinian Authority President Mahmoud Abbas and dozens of his officials for the UN General Assembly, forcing Abbas to address the gathering virtually for a second year in a row. Washington cited deviations from US law and failure to reform by Ramallah as grounds for the visa bans, while the Palestinian mission pushed a virtual address and sought to keep the UN gathering on schedule.

Tom Gallagher A virtual speech again this year just highlights how little trust exists between Washington and Ramallah right now.

UEFA Vice President Says Challenger to Infantino Need Not Be European — 2dUEFA is actively seeking a credible challenger to FIFA President Gianni Infantino ahead of the 2027 election, even as Infantino confirms he will seek re-election in March 2027. The campaign centers on governance reforms and opposition to Infantino's plan to sell a stake in FIFA to a private investment group led by Joshua Kushner, with UEFA and its member associations united in driving change.

Marcus Bell A non-European challenger makes sense if the goal is real reform instead of more of the same leadership.

The group notes about 344 political prisoners remain and calls for further steps, including closing Rodeo 1 and comprehensive judiciary reform, as gains depend on sustained reforms amid ongoing restrictions.

Elena Vasquez It's encouraging that some prisoners were freed and media access improved, but nothing will hold without full releases and real court reforms.

Newsom Won’t Run in 2028 if Harris Does — 4dGavin Newsom told CNN's Jake Tapper while fly fishing in Montana he will not run for president in 2028 if Kamala Harris enters the race.
