"Make Español Great Again" Spanish language sports coverage just had its biggest moment in U-S television history... and the numbers back it up.
Telemundo's coverage of the 2026 World Cup averaged six point three million viewers across all one hundred four matches... a jump of one hundred forty three percent from 2022. The final between Spain and Argentina drew twenty three point nine million viewers on Telemundo alone... the most watched soccer match ever on Spanish language television. Streaming told an even bigger story. Peacock and Telemundo's digital platforms averaged three million viewers per minute... nearly four times what they pulled four years ago. Fox still drew the larger English language audience for the final... nearly thirty nine million viewers to Telemundo's twenty four million.But NBCUniversal executives say the real shift isn't about one night. It's strategic. Spanish language programming is now central to Peacock's growth plans... and Telemundo has passed longtime rival Univision to become the number one Spanish language network on both TikTok and YouTube. Spanish language sports media didn't just have a good tournament. It crossed into the first tier of American media business.

NEWS FLASH?

A fact-check from April 2026 confirmed it: the claim that Karoline Leavitt said Trump lacks enough intelligence to make decisions about Iran is false. The quote circulated widely on social media as a satirical dig at Trump, but it wasn't something Leavitt actually said in a briefing, its a fabricated line that gained traction around the time Trump was making disputed claims about the Iran war and his foreign policy record.
What Leavitt has actually said on the record about Iran runs the opposite direction — defending, not undercutting, the administration's intelligence basis. In one March briefing, she pushed back on a CBS correspondent questioning Trump's rationale for military action, insisting his decision was based on intelligence and a year of negotiations with Iran, and stated flatly that the president "is not making this up." So to clear up, the line makes for a good punchline, but it's not a real quote.

LETTUCE PREY?

Lettuce prey... that's the question a lot of Americans are asking their salad bowls right now. Cases of cyclosporiasis... a nasty parasite-driven stomach illness... have exploded across the country this summer. Michigan alone has logged more than six thousand five hundred cases since late June. A state that normally sees about fifty cases... a year.
Health officials say the likely culprit is shredded iceberg lettuce. The F D A has tied part of the outbreak to lettuce served at Taco Bell in five states, and Taylor Fresh Foods has pulled iceberg lettuce grown in central Mexico off shelves nationwide.
The bug spreads through contaminated food or water... not person to person... and it's tough. Regular washing and disinfectants won't kill it. Cooking greens to at least one hundred fifty eight degrees... will.
Symptoms hit about a week after exposure... explosive, watery diarrhea... cramping... nausea... fatigue. Nobody has died in this outbreak. But a lot of people are looking twice at their lunch.

I was working there only recently and found more traffic, more tension and everything was a lot more expensive.

The short stay was trying to clean up a mess two years in the making. Nobody cared to follow the rules, so I was the fireman to the rescue.

Do you remember the US Mexico Wall? What about draining the swamp? There's no single agreed-upon number and trackers differ by scope and method, but PolitiFact's MAGA-Meter, the most systematic of the bunch, is tracking 75 specific second-term pledges. As of early 2026, roughly 20 percent were rated kept, about 45 percent in the works, nearly 30 percent stalled, with a small remainder broken or compromised. A slightly later read from Poynter, citing the same tracker, put "kept" closer to 19 percent, with about a third stalled by inaction in Congress or the courts, including the Supreme Court.

Other outlets tell a similar story with different math. Factually's research summary notes there's no single authoritative broken-promises count — estimates range from a handful of high-profile broken pledges to dozens, depending on whether you're counting Day-1 promises, first-100-days promises, or the full 2024 campaign menu. AllSides is running its own tracker mapped against Project 2025, and a independent site called Trump Tracker rates items Kept/Partial/Broken/Pending against Project 2025, the 2024 campaign platform, executive orders, CBO data, and the Federal Register, reviewed monthly.

Bottom line for a broadcast: "about 1 in 5 kept, roughly 1 in 3 stalled, most of the rest still in progress" is a defensible, sourced summary line.
Immigration — the clearest "kept" case, good for a script
Trump entered his second term with one of the most expansive sets of campaign promises in modern presidential history. Immigration is the area with the most measurable follow-through: mass deportations ran into the hundreds of thousands, and border crossings fell from over 200,000 a month to roughly 8,000 by spring 2025 (per DHS figures I cited earlier). That gives you a clean, factual segment. LegalClarity
