Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov said Trump had made some important statements about wanting to end the Ukraine war during his campaign, but only time would tell if they lead to action.

Last night, the boys and I fell asleep at 10 p.m. without yet knowing who won the election. The results were not good — especially for women, immigrants, LGBT+ folks, the list goes on and on. Good men, thoughtful women, smart teenagers, and giggly children are all around us and aren’t going anywhere. I did get knocked down flat in front of the whole world, and I rose. Thousands of starfish had been washed up on a beach after a storm.

While the events around the World Cup are the climax, there is a patient scene setting. Players had complained about Quereda as early as 2011 and the team complained collectively in 2015 after a disappointing World Cup exit. The documentary highlights just how powerless the players were as Vilda operated as sporting director and manager, essentially being his own boss. Rubiales’ behaviour at the World Cup went far beyond the forced kiss of Hermoso. Mapi León, who does not feature in the documentary, has not played for Spain since withdrawing from national team duty before the World Cup.

The Santa Barbara County Public Health Department and the Santa Barbara County Air Pollution Control District issued an Air Quality Watch for Santa Barbara County due to the transport of wildfire smoke from the Mountain Fire in Ventura County. The Mountain Fire is producing significant smoke, and wind conditions are blowing the smoke plume offshore towards the Channel Islands. Currently ground level air quality conditions onshore throughout Santa Barbara County are good, but these conditions can change quickly if the wind direction changes and pushes the smoke plume onshore. This is a dynamic situation, and local air quality conditions can change quickly. All Santa Barbara County residents are encouraged to stay alert to local conditions by visiting www.ourair.org/todays-air- quality or fire.airnow.gov.

According to UKHSA, they had been isolating since being identified as a contact of the first case, and so no further contact tracing is required.

My colleague wrote recently about the deeper meaning of the “promise of America” that Kamala Harris invoked on the campaign trail. This America is cruel and vicious, uninterested in equality or justice, instead intent on indulging its basest desires.
