Rapinoe at Interbay Soccer Stadium in Seattle on June 5

MEGAN RAPINOE THRIVES ON NOISE.

Most athletes strive to be "in the zone" that state of quiet mental focus enabling players to block out the cheers and jeers of stadium crowds, allowing performance to peak. Rapinoe, however, takes in all the chatter. "I'm hearing the crowds, I'm hearing the fans," she says. The two-time defending World Cup champion forward for the U.S. is reclining on a restaurant couch in Seattle, where she plays for the OL Reign of the National Women's Soccer League, wearing rhinestone-studded jeans and a tricolored shirt-white, red, and black with a flower pattern running down the sleeves. "Every time I go over for a corner kick," says Rapinoe, "I'm always like, 'Hey, what's going on here?'"

OUR AGE OF DISTRUST

In 1624, the English poet John Donne wrote, “No man is an island entire of itself.” And yet in 2026, the Edelman Trust Barometer finds that 7 out of 10 people across 28 nations are hesitant or unwilling to trust people who have different values, approaches to societal problems, or backgrounds than they do. For most people, distrust is now the default instinct. Only one-third tell us most people can be trusted.

The most under- appreciated movies of the 21st century

WHENEVER I BROWSE THROUGH SOCIAL MEDIA or Letterboxd to see what movies young film lovers are discovering, I often see the usual suspects: pictures made by Hitchcock, Coppola, and Scorsese, with a smattering of classic films noir or romantic comedies thrown in.

The D.C. Brief

PRESIDENT DONALD TRUMP LAST year successfully wrestled control of one of the nation's dominant performing-arts stages with unheard-of efficiency. He ousted its leader, installed a loyalist at the helm, made himself the chairman of its reconstituted board, scrambled its programing calendar, alienated cultural leaders, exiled its resident opera company, declared himself the M.C. of its biggest fundraising gala, and treated it like an annex of the White House for events that cast him as the headliner.
