In 1904, Henry Ford helped put the world on wheels. In a factory in Detroit, Ford Motor Company didn't just create a better automobile. He transformed the way automobiles were made. Using standardized parts and innovative manufacturing techniques, Ford reduced assembly time from twelve hours to just ninety-three minutes. The Model T that emerged changed history, turning the automobile from a luxury item into a practical and affordable product for ordinary families. Technology changes the world when it becomes accessible to everyone, not just a few. It is the same idea that helped put a computer on every desk and in every home.

He looks at me and he says 'No, but that article about Lue Elizondo being a liar sure sticks out in my head'." Matt Ford recounts an intimidating encounter he had at a bar after releasing a story on the CIA's Office of Global Access being behind crash retrievals.

The great Pedro Rodríguez - born OTD in 1940 - scored a plethora of victories over the course of an incredible career, but nine of them came behind the wheel of cars covered in the same legendary livery. In 1968, the Mexican drove a Gulf-liveried #Ford GT40 to victory at Le Mans - earning the American marque its third consecutive overall victory at the Circuit de la Sarthe. Two years later, he began winning again in the famed orange and blue, this time in a Porsche 917K at Daytona, Brands Hatch, Monza, Watkins Glen, Spa and Zeltweg. When it comes to racing legacies, Rodríguez's is hard to beat...

Peter Navarro: "The worst thing that ever happened to Canada was when Carney made a come from behind victory. He was down, I don't know, 30 points. And then he started his Trump derangement syndrome rhetoric and surged to win ... The deal you got, that you turn your nose up, you're never going to get that deal again. Apparently Ford was like the devil in Carney's ears."

Anthony Kim started the day 5 shots behind Jon Rahm and Bryson DeChambeau. He then beat Jon by 8 and Bryson by 11 in the final group to win by 3 in front of the largest crowd in LIV Golf’s history. You couldn’t have scripted it better. What a story.

Gerald Ford refused to run a television commercial that his campaign consultant Doug Bailey thought would have reelected the President. I tell that story in Chapter 17 of my new memoir, THE EDUCATION OF A SENATOR: FROM JFK TO TRUMP. After pardoning Nixon in 1974, Ford was 22 points behind Jimmy Carter in the 1976 presidential election polls. Bailey and his partner John Deardorff helped Ford cut Carter’s lead to two points by election day. To the tune of a campaign song, “I’m Feeling Good About America,” the consultants made a television commercial focusing on Ford’s likability. Two years later, when Bailey was my consultant in my race for governor, he showed me a Ford commercial that was not so cheerful. It began with gunshots recalling the September 1975 assassination attempts against the president. The black-and-white commercial was so unsettling that Ford refused to use it, though Bailey told me he believed it would have won the election. In THE EDUCATION OF A SENATOR: FROM JFK TO TRUMP, I paint portraits of the presidents I worked with, tell stories about what I saw behind the scenes, and recount the lessons I learned about American politics and our country’s future. THE EDUCATION OF A SENATOR: FROM JFK TO TRUMP is available now from Post Hill Press. You can use this link to order:

Doug Ford just gave the Canadian Mental Health Association $303 million over three years. This week, that same organization sent staff to a Barrie high school and they handed students a “safer snorting” booklet. It gets worse. They handed that, along with condoms. SEX AND COCAINE. No parental consent. The booklet includes instructions on how to make your own snorting equipment. Tips on how to protect your nasal passages while doing cocaine. And there’s also this line: “Adding a personal touch to your snorting equipment will help you better recognize your own when using with others.” Doug Ford is not a Conservative.

Mike Rowe reveals Ford has 5,000 unfilled mechanic jobs paying $120,000 a year. No degree required. AI-proof. And Ford still can't fill them. ROWE: "Not a week goes by when I don’t get a call from some CEO... elected official... freaking out." "They’ve done the math: for every five tradespeople who retire, two come in. It’s been that way for about 12 years now." “Jim Farley (Ford CEO) told me he’s got 5,000 empty bays at Ford. These are AI-proof six-figure jobs, right? $120,000 a year. He can’t fill them.” In a separation conversation with Shawn Ryan, Rowe said he visited a Texas data center and met three “debt-free” electricians under 30 making “north of $240,000/year.” All three of those electricians have been “poached” three times in the last 18 months because the demand for electricians is crazy high. THE BIG TAKEAWAY: If you're thinking about college but aren't sure what you really wanna do, trade school might be the smarter play. Chances are, you'll take on a lot less debt, make a lot more money — and AI won't be coming for your job anytime soon.

Brad Pitt had five minutes of screen time in True Romance and used it to create the most legendary stoner in cinema history. The story behind it is even better: Brad actually called Tony Scott a few days before filming and asked if his character could just be a permanent couch-dweller who never moves. He even found that iconic multicolored hat on the street in Venice, ran it through the wash, and wore it on set.

When you see the HBO logo, you think of classics. But Entourage was never just about Hollywood… it was about loyalty. Four friends from Queens against the world. No matter how big Vincent Chase became, the circle never changed. They celebrated together. Failed together. And when everything fell apart, they never left each other behind. The cars, the fame, the parties — that was all temporary. The brotherhood was the real story. Name a better friendship in TV history.

The way Ryan Coogler talks about his professor, the one who believed in him before anyone else did, who recognized that quiet spark, who gently helped shape his gift, is genuinely so touching. Every time he shares that story, you can hear the gratitude in his voice and feel how much it still means to him. It’s a pure, heartfelt appreciation 🖤
