I don’t see how you can have any international event, in the U.S. during the Trump/Vance era.
Move World Cup and 28 LA Olympics.

GOP senator torpedoes Trump’s pick to serve as US attorney for DC
Sen. Thom Tillis (R-N.C.), a member of the Senate Judiciary Committee, who faces a tough re-election race in 2026, has informed the White House that he will not support Ed Martin, President Trump’s choice to serve as U.S. attorney for the District of Columbia, torpedoing the controversial nomination.
Martin is currently serving as the interim U.S. attorney for the District of Columbia and has coming under strong criticism for helping to organize the “Stop the Steal” movement after the 2020 election and for serving as defense counsel to people charged with Jan. 6-related crimes.
Tillis told reporters Tuesday morning that he will not support Martin’s nomination to remain as U.S. attorney for the District of Columbia because of his advocacy for people convicted of Jan. 6-related crimes.
A “no” vote from Tillis kills the nomination because Republicans have a 12-10 majority on the Senate Judiciary Committee and all Democrat on the panel also oppose Martin’s nomination. The nominee could not advance on an 11-11 deadlock.
Martin met with Tillis Monday afternoon in an effort to allay the senators’ concerns, making the argument that many people charged and convicted of Jan. 6-related crimes were over-prosecuted.
But in the end Tillis and Martin couldn’t see eye-to-eye on the 2021 storming of the U.S. Capitol, which forced the evacuation of Senate and House members as they convened to certify Joe Biden’s victory in the 2020 presidential election.
“Most of my concerns relate to Jan. 6,” Tillis said Tuesday. “I think that anybody that breached the perimeter should have been imprisoned for some period of time, whether it’s 30 days or three years is debatable but I have no tolerance for anybody who entered the building on Jan. 6 and that’s probably where most of the friction was.”
Tillis said Martin argued to him that some people who were prosecuted for Jan. 6-related crimes “got caught up” in the crowd that entered the Capitol.

Well, let's see how the people in all those red states where hurricanes strike like it when the leopards start eating their faces:
Leader of FEMA Is Dismissed as Trump Administration Takes Aim at the Agency
Cameron Hamilton, the acting head of the Federal Emergency Management Agency, was pushed out of the job on Thursday, according to several people familiar with his departure. His ouster came a day after he told members of Congress that FEMA — which President Trump has suggested should be disbanded — was vital to communities “in their greatest times of need” and should not be eliminated.
The agency, which coordinates the federal response to natural disasters, confirmed in a statement that Mr. Hamilton was no longer serving as acting administrator. Many other senior leaders have been fired or decided to leave as the agency has faced an uncertain future. Mr. Hamilton’s firing was reported earlier by Politico.
On Tuesday, Kristi Noem, the homeland security secretary whose agency includes FEMA, testified before lawmakers that FEMA should be eliminated. Mr. Hamilton, appearing before Congress on Wednesday, said instead that FEMA “must return to its roots,” helping state and local governments respond to disasters.
“Communities look to FEMA in their greatest times of need,” Mr. Hamilton told lawmakers, “and it’s imperative that we remain ready to respond to those challenges.”
Mr. Hamilton added, “I do not believe it is in the best interest of the American people to eliminate the Federal Emergency Management Agency.”
