Happy Saturday! The Saint Louis Blues tied the series against Winnipeg 3-3 last night in a resounding 5-2 win. Game 7 is tomorrow. The Cavaliers, fresh off a rout of Miami, play the Pacers starting tomorrow. The Derby is today. The Indy 500 is later this month. School’s almost out. Baseball is back, my Ohio teams are looking good, and we have a bunch of soccer matches coming to America. Summer is almost here.
Every time I see an ad or hear one for one of the international games coming through the Queen City, I wonder: is this going to be as much of a shitshow as I think it is?
Will foreigners regret coming? Time will tell, but even though there’s a pit in my stomach about American Summer 2025 in general, these reminders of a bunch of foreigners supposedly coming here to play soccer has me… uneasy.
Recessions… Totally OK now, according to Trump. Therefore, in a week’s time, all federally elected Republicans will be pro-recession in some form.
The Arctic Front… How Finland is preparing for a war with Russia.
3 ‘New Rules’ for Bill Maher after his dinner with Trump … The “Real Time” host didn’t seem to appreciate his pal Larry David’s satirical New York Times column, “My Dinner with Adolf” writes Anthony Fisher at MSNBC.
Who Changed? Matt Labash has an honest conversation about dishonesty.
COMMENTS! My daily version of Overtime didn’t have a comments section. The weekend edition does. Come on in, but remember the rule: We’re looking for two of the three in: “Kind, necessary, and true.” See you there.

Thanks for the conservative legal argument against Trump's power grab.
Yesterday’s secret pod gave me all the feel as I consider myself an OG reader and listener. Thank you for everything you all do. I am rooting for Winnipeg not because I have Trump derangement syndrome, but because I have lots of relatives living there :)
