The massive turnout, encouraged by Iran's theocracy as a sign of strength, came as it negotiates with the U.S. over a permanent end to the war that killed the 86-year-old cleric.Read more at The Associated Press:Trump's FIFA Intervention Comes With 1 Very Awkward TwistCritics have pointed to the glaring irony of Donald Trump’s intervention in the 2026 FIFA World Cup to help get U.S. star Folarin Balogun's red-card suspension overturned ahead of Monday’s Round of 16 clash with Belgium.Read more here:The Hyper-Confident Progressive Spooking The Dem EstablishmentAbdul El-Sayed is very confident he can beat Republican Mike Rogers and win Michigan's U.S. Senate seat in November."He generally has the charisma of a doorknob," El-Sayed told HuffPost in a 45-minute interview last week. "He carries all the MAGA baggage, but he also has the aesthetic of the guy at a country club who sneers at you from his Lincoln. He’s not really hard to beat.""By the time I’m done with him, his golf buddies down in Florida are going to be calling him the names I call him,” he continued, referencing Rogers' time living in the Sunshine State following his departure from Congress in 2015. “I hope that 20 years from now, he still thinks of me."But his bravado is still not shared by the party establishment in D.C. or in Michigan, who fear his progressive positions ― he’s a longtime ally of Sen.
