🔊 Just listen to Old Trafford when it was announced that Diogo Dalot was being subbed off.

I've been in politics for a quarter century. It's hard to express how staggering it is to see a conversation like this on corporate US media. The Morning Joe panel gobsmacked by the directness of @AbdulElSayed's points.

The government obviously needs to make up the cost of bringing Bayern Munich and Ajax to Nairobi but there's need to understand who the real football fan in Kenya is.
One of the reasons why original European football jerseys don't get sold in Nairobi and why DStv has had to reduce prices is because the local football fan is used to buying match tickets for an average price of Ksh200. Charging these fans Ksh2,500 for “a government event to open a taxpayer-funded stadium” feels like daylight robbery but that's the reality because it’s not cheap to bring a Ballon d'Or winner, World Class players and a former Man United player to East Africa.
Just two weeks ago Kenyans complained of ‘exhorbintant’ ticket prices for the match between the Harambee Stars and South Africa which was set at Ksh500 against the routine Ksh300.
Tickets will still sell as in recent times the national team has attracted a different calibre of fan compared to the regular Kenyan Premier League attendee. However, going by the reality on the ground, Ksh2500 is too expensive for a regular KPL fan but again this is an expensive product.

Mike Rogers claimed victory in Michigan just before Abdul El-Sayed won one of the most closely watched races of the night.

Tonight, the American people sent a clear message — they want a politics that brings people together rather than divides them, and leaders who offer concrete solutions to the challenges they face.
These results were only possible because outstanding candidates stepped forward in every region of the country — including in areas once considered long shots. They came from different backgrounds and represented a range of political perspectives, but were united by shared values, a belief in public service, and a commitment to putting the people of their districts and states first.
We also owe a debt of gratitude to the thousands of election officials and volunteers from both parties who helped ensure a smooth election and carried out one of the most essential functions of our democracy.
While this administration has another two years in office, our job now is to roll up our sleeves, make changes wherever we have the power to do so, prevent further damage, and lay the groundwork for the future.

🇺🇸 Democrats have won control of BOTH chambers of the U.S. Congress in the 2026 midterm elections, securing majorities in the Senate and House of Representatives.
The party is projected to have won 53 Senate seats and 220 House seats, surpassing the respective majority thresholds of 51 and 218.
The result would end Republican control of Congress and leave President Donald Trump facing a Democratic majority in both chambers for the remaining two years of his presidency.
That would give Democrats control over congressional committees, investigations and the legislative agenda, while significantly restricting Trump's ability to advance his domestic policies.

James Thomas has been running the New York City Marathon since 1980, and tonight he completed his 43rd. After crossing the finish line as the last man in the race, he told me this would be his final marathon. His mind still wants to keep going, but his body can no longer do it.
What an incredible way to close this chapter. Congratulations on 43 New York City Marathons, James. ❤️
