Tom Brady among those in Donald Trump's suite at FIFA Club World Cup
Tom Brady took in Sunday's FIFA Club World Cup between Chelsea and PSG as a guest in President Donald Trump's suite at MetLife Stadium. Pam Bondi, Sean Duffy, Kristi Noem, Rupert Murdoch and FIFA president Gianni Infantino were also among those in the suite, via The Guardian's Hugo Lowell. President Trump and First Lady Melania Trump arrived to the match to a loud applause. New England Patriots owner Robert Kraft was also in attendance, and seen with Brady prior to the start of the match. In a 2022 interview with Variety, Brady said he hadn't spoken to Trump 'in a lot of years.' The relationship between the two reportedly went south when Brady pulled out of the Patriots' White House Visit after they won in 2017. The two were friends years ago and previously golfed together, and Brady said in 2015 that a Trump presidency 'would be great.' He told Brady told Variety that their friendship was "mischaracterized a lot." 'My personality isn't ever one to insult anybody. I have plenty of my own flaws,' Brady said. 'I'm not here to point out anyone else's flaws. There are things that I agree with. There are things that I don't,' he said. 'There are things I agree with my wife about. There are things that I don't. I love her to death, but we don't always see eye to eye. I don't see eye to eye with anyone. And I'm not responsible for what other people say. I'm really responsible for what I say. So if people want to say things that I said or that I'm about, that's up to them, and I'm not going to respond to all those things all the time either.'

The 2025 America's Best Cities list is here—see which city came out on top
Start spreading the news: New York City has once again snagged the title of America's Best City, topping Resonance Consultancy's prestigious 2025 ranking for the ninth year running. The Big Apple is on a winning streak and it's not just because of the pizza. In a moment when American cities are grappling with everything from climate volatility to housing crises, New York stands tall—literally and figuratively—claiming the No. 1 spot across all three of Resonance's key metrics: Livability, Lovability and Prosperity. In short, that means the city is thriving, dazzling and making money while it's at it. New York ranks in first place for both culture and landmarks, fueled by a comeback of Broadway, blockbuster museum exhibits and more than a few Michelin stars. The city welcomed nearly 65 million visitors in 2024, and while international travel is projected to dip this year, NYC is betting big on 2026's FIFA World Cup Final and major infrastructure upgrades to turn the tide. With a skyline that's still growing, a hospitality sector revving back to life and a talent pool that's as deep as its subway tunnels, New York isn't just back—it never left. 'This recognition is a testament to the enduring appeal of the five boroughs,' said New York City Tourism + Conventions CEO Julie Coker, noting that the city's cultural and economic vibrancy are still drawing the world in droves. Elsewhere on this year's list, New York's West Coast cousin Los Angeles claimed the No. 2 spot: "While wildfires, water scarcity and housing affordability remain challenges, the macro bet is clear: a once-in-a-lifetime convergence of mega-events, climate-friendly rail, adaptive reuse policies and institutional capital is resetting Los Angeles's value proposition," reads the ranking. And rounding out the top three is Chicago, IL, which is "firing on all cylinders" as of late with "an expanding talent pool and relative affordability."
