Per @adamschiff.com: “Donald Trump promised to let Elon Musk self-police his conflicts of interest. The result? Those investigating his companies have been fired. Cases against his companies have been dismissed. “The corrupt self-dealing is staggering.”

That says it all! How any woman can vote for these horrendous people is a mystery to me.

Mirra Shatters the Ceiling For the first time in nearly 19 years, we'll have a 17yo inside the WTA top 10. Mirra Andreeva plays flawlessly from 6-6 in the 1st set, racing through to defeat Clara Tauson, 7-6¹, 6-1, and take the title in Dubai. Andreeva is now the youngest ever WTA 1000 champion 🎾

Reluctant portrait, but happy for me to share it as she quite liked it. Funny how my ma has the same "give it a rest, Fleming" expression as the tolerant obstetrician. Sony A200, Minolta 50mm F/1.7. #photography

A new website created by about a dozen federal employees, called “We the Builders,” aims to be a secure outlet for government workers to share stories about how their workplaces are being impacted by DOGE, and a place to explain the real-world impact of its access to government tech systems.

He's Rublevitating! Andrey Rublev puts on a clinic in the final set to defeat Jack Draper, 7-5, 5-7 6-1, and lift the 17th ATP trophy of his career. The win reverses a very lackluster start to the 2025 season for the 27yo, moving him from #45 to #8 in the (very early) ATP Race standings.

Went to see Alison Moyet at Bridgewater Hall last night. Hugely talented. Her voice is sublime. So many musical styles and great songs. Pics of concert attached. Hopefully give feel of atmosphere and lighting.

For THE LOVE OF GOD, stop taking money from RUSSIANS. We don’t want our politicians OWNED BY RUSSIA. It’s not rocket science & surely by now, we should know better. If you agree, repost.

Draper Chase Jack Draper can't hit the top 10 next week... but he could get awful close! The top-ranked Brit gets the win over the recently resurgent Matteo Berrettini, 4-6, 6-4, 6-3, to reach the final four in Doha. The win moves him up to #14 in the live rankings. A title would move him to #11.

Happy Go Lucky... Loser After falling to JuanMa Cerúndolo in the final round of qualifying, Jaime Faria has made the most of his lucky loser status. The 21yo from Portugal pulls off a big upset over Jaume Munar, 6-4, 2-6, 6-3, to reach the quarterfinals in Rio and guarantee a top 100 debut. 💪 🎾

Get In (Lucky), Loser! We're goin' to the quarterfinals in Rio. Well, "we" aren't, but Camilo Ugo Carabelli is. The Argentine gets past Damir Dzumhur of Bosnia & Herzegovina, 6-4, 6-4, to move into the quarterfinals. The win puts TWO lucky losers in the final 8, joining Jaime Faria of Portugal.

Rollin' in Rio The final 8 is set in Brazil as Alexandre Muller follows up his win over Joao Fonseca with an even bigger upset (by ranking) in round 2. The frenetic Frenchman bounces 8th seeded Tomas Etcheverry, 7-5, 7-6⁵, to set up a quarterfinal clash with 4th seeded Francisco Cerúndolo.

Andreeva on the Edge Last year, Jasmine Paolini made a career-altering run to the Dubai title. This year, Mirra Andreeva is looking to follow in the Italian's footsteps, following up her massive upset over Iga Swiatek with a 6-4, 4-6, 6-3 victory over Elena Rybakina to book a spot in the final.

Rublev Returns Andrey Rublev hasn't really been the same player since a disturbing outburst in Dubai got him defaulted. (Though he has made 2 Masters finals since then.) But, with the 1-year anniversary of that incident coming up next week, Rublev defeats Felix Auger-Aliassime to reach the final.

Tauson Triumphs! It might not be the final people expected, but it sure is exciting! Clara Tauson creates a massive opportunity for herself with a thrilling 6-4, 6-7⁴, 6-3 win over Karolina Muchova. The win sets up a clash with 17yo Mirra Andreeva to win the biggest title of their careers. 🙌 🎾

Draper Gets It Done He's had trouble staying healthy, but when Jack Draper plays... he wins. Playing just his 2nd event of 2025, the British #1 fights past Jiri Lehecka, 3-6, 7-6², 6-3, to move forward in Doha. The win sets up a championship clash between Draper and Andrey Rublev on Saturday.

Champ Stamp Last year's winner is still in the hunt for this year's title in Rio. Sebastian Baez ends the run of Taiwanese qualifier Tseng Chun-Hsin in the quarterfinals, winning 6-4, 6-1. The Argentine moves forward to face his compatriot Camilo Ugo Carabelli to return to the final.

Camilo Comes Through! Playing in his first ever ATP quarterfinal, Camilo Ugo Carabelli takes things a step forward in Rio. The 25yo books a spot in the final 4 with a 7-6⁵, 6-4 win over Jaime Faria. It was just the 2nd time two lucky losers faced off in a quarterfinal in ATP history.

Muller Marches On Welp! It was almost an all-Argentine final 4 in Rio, but the same guy who bounced Brazil's own Joao Fonseca in the 1st round puts an end to that Alexandre Muller topples Francisco Cerúndolo, 7-5, 6-1, to set up a semifinal match-up against ANOTHER Francisco... Francisco Comesana

Comesana Steps Up I told y'all Francisco Comesana was this year's breakthrough Argentine! The 24yo from Mar Del Plata disposes of top seed Alexander Zverev, 4-6, 6-4, 6-4, to hand the German another early loss on their year's Golden Swing. The win sends Comesana into the semifinals in Rio! 🙌 🎾

I understand & appreciate the value of players who use slice, angles, and consistency to win. But, there's just something about 2 players going big on every shot and smacking winners from everywhere on the court that I'll always get excited about. The Tauson/Andreeva match is delivering so far! 🎾
