Trump is full of himself at the moment but has not thought for one second of the potential consequences to US citizens and service personnel at home & abroad.

I’m not sure I know what I’m watching with today’s IndyCar race. The overdriving is ridiculous on a track where precision has been the hallmark of its success. Fox are doing an awful job the commentary is very poor, camera work embarrassing and a poor satellite feed with the picture freezing.

Looking from the outside in it appears that all these ICE agents are picking up people who have committed no crime. Yet there’s no reports about violent gangs or drug dealers being arrested. They are just going for soft targets rather than ones where they might end up with a cracked fingernail.

The Isle of Man TT race is like no other motorbike race. 1st lap Davey Todd 134 mph average lap from a standing start 😬.

Really hope Peter Hickman is okay after the accident earlier this evening. That’s the first red flag of the IOMTT, hopefully it will be the last one.

In my happy place for the next fortnight

I’ve got the feeling that I’ve been sat down for 90 minutes just to watch Max win again. Just thinking there will be a red flag when people get a bit racy at the end of the race.

Ah great days 1979

Here’s a suggestion for the Monaco Grand Prix having recently seen the formula E race at Monaco. Let’s get smaller F1 cars again and we’ll see overtaking the end of Monaco in the formula E race was so entertaining because there was overtaking (lots of it).

Well said Martin Brundle, we may well get an exciting finish this race but it will be very artificial.

Ah Monaco a spectacular sight but a race that will probably be decided by strategy and luck.

I’m not sure what Lewis was expected to do coming round the corner and seeing two cars there .

Fabulous, absolutely fabulous

I’ve never been happier about a football match in a very long time

What a season Crystal Palace are having, the team isn’t afraid of any opposition I just hope that resolve continues 🦅

I believe this article is aimed at every Apple user…..

What a performance by Crystal Palace, I just hope they can repeat exactly the same performance in a few weeks time. I think they could’ve beaten any team in the premiership today.

The tension is unbearable but we are going to the FA Cup Final !!!!!!!!!! Eagles!!!!!

There’s been more commentary errors on this sky F1 broadcast than I’ve heard before.

Gutted for Pierre Gasly, his finishing record has ended

Safe race first entertaining second

6 days on I’m still thinking about the 3 & 4 rounds of the US Masters. Sport at its very best and entertainment of the highest level. When you don’t tinker with the sport, how it’s played, rules etc the history of the game gets improved every year. I wish other sports didn’t mess with the package.

Watching F1 practice at Jeddah, I can’t help feeling if two F1 cars get together in the high-speed areas it will be dreadful if a car gets launched into those catch fencing. Racing cars and suspended fencing don’t mix, Indycar has got far too many tragic stories in that regard.

Japanese Grand Prix really looking forward to this one. Old school test for the drivers a challenge hope it’s a safe one.

The F1 was an absorbing race, not a classic. I hope to see good racing from the IndyCar race although I find the thermal club track and overall layout soulless and looks the elitist with the properties next to the racetrack.

Looking forward to this Grand Prix the Chinese circuit it does allow overtaking for these modern Formula One cars so it could be a very good race 🤞🏻#44

Brilliant, well done Lewis, superb. Just a shame it wasn’t Saturday qualifying but it’s a start.

Sat in a supermarket car park and a friend messaged me about Eddie Jordan‘s passing and I commented on how sad it was. At that moment a humble old Citroen in stinging bees colour scheme turned up how ironic but it made me smile. A life well lived Eddie you’ll be missed.

I’m really grateful for sports last weekend, Formula One, golf, football just about made me forget briefly everything that’s happening in this world. Roll on next weekend for more of the same please although my heart goes out to those that don’t get that opportunity to forget.

Come on down to the White House Tesla Auto Mall!

So glad to have the 2025 Indycar championship starting today, it’s been a long off-season. Hoping that Pato has a great year, although he’s got some work to do today.

I remember posting this three years on a platform I’d rather forget now. It seems appropriate to remind myself of that given the events in the last few hours.

From my admittedly very poor recollection of history J Edgar Hoover was no saint but we could sure use him to whittle out the communists out of the Republican Party. If not him there must be somebody, anybody out there who can??? Please I’m begging you I can’t cope with the madness of Trump .

How good does that look #44

Trump is a bully he goes after weaker allies, Canada Mexico, Europe and now Ukraine. He won’t go up against Putin an equal bully and would rather team up. The USA has given the keys to a Russian puppet. I hope the more sensible American citizens can educate others of their folly and lead to change.

❌ Ukraine started the war ❌ America provides more funding than Europe ❌ Ukraine needs immediate elections Sir Ben Wallace fact checks President Trump's recent 'fake news' about Russia's war in Ukraine.

Essential listening today. As Trump blames c. 150,000 deaths to date on Ukraine for having the temerity to be invaded by Russia @mrjamesob.bsky.social asks "Has Putin won" www.youtube.com/watch?v=5Gsl...

@philgoodstory.bsky.social Tottenham V Man U, it could be a really entertaining game unless both teams are decidedly nervous about losing. A win today could put your team level with the mighty Palace!

Jon Stewart and @jenpsaki.msnbc.com try to figure out WTF is going on. A new episode of The Weekly Show drops tomorrow! #politics
