  • With 985 goals, Ronaldo leads the all-time scoring list, ahead of Lionel Messi with 937 and Pelé with 762 goals.

  • Ronaldo says he does not diet and allows occasional treats; reported staples include lean meat, fish, and plenty of vegetables.

  • In 2025, Ronaldo called sleep his most important tool; he goes to bed between 11 p.m. and midnight and wakes at 8:30 a.m.

  • In May 2025, former coach Luis Castro told Sky Sports that Ronaldo's routines, diet, sleep, and recovery contributed to his longevity, in his view.
  • “His behavior is all tailored towards sports performance — his diet, his sleep, and his recovery. He is a person deeply concerned with eating well, sleeping well and preparing his body properly. In my opinion, this is clearly where Cristiano's longevity comes from.”— Luis Castro, who worked with Ronaldo at Al Nassr, said this to Sky Sports in May 2025.

  • The final sizes of the projected majorities remained undetermined while vote counting continued.

  • The majorities give Democrats greater scope for investigations and subpoenas; in the Senate, they can block Trump’s judicial nominees.

  • Trump’s veto and the Senate’s 60-vote threshold make passage of large parts of the Democrats’ preferred agenda very unlikely.

  • CNN’s voter poll found that more than six in ten respondents disapproved of Trump; two-thirds said his policies had worsened the economy.
  • “If anyone wants to come after California, or any one Californian, they better be ready for a fight.”— Xavier Becerra said this in his victory speech after CNN projected him to win California’s gubernatorial election.

  • During his shortened campaign, Jackson linked Collins to her party and Donald Trump and advocated policies to make life more affordable.

  • The ACLU welcomed the announcement and remains involved in a legal challenge alleging California’s death penalty statute is racially discriminatory and unconstitutional.
  • “I take this action because I firmly believe that state-sanctioned killing is incompatible with California's values, undermines the foundations of our legal system, and diminishes each of us.”— California Gov. Gavin Newsom, in a letter explaining his decision to commute the state's death sentences to life without parole.
