I’m constantly astonished that billionaires would rather ignore the climate crisis and prepare to live in a bunker with dvds and baked beans than devote a modicum of their bottomless wealth to saving the planet where we have fresh fruit and soft grass and blue skies.

🚨🗣️New: Zlatan Ibrahimovic on Vinicius Junior refusing the mandatory halftime interview with FIFA at the World Cup:

“People are shocked that Vinícius walked away from a halftime interview. I am shocked that anyone thinks he should have stopped in the first place.

Halftime is not a television studio. Halftime is not a podcast. Halftime is not a red carpet. Halftime is the heartbeat of a football match.

For 45 minutes, players are warriors in a storm. They run, they fight, they suffer, they bleed. Then they get 15 precious minutes to recover, to breathe, to listen, to think. And FIFA wants to spend part of that time chasing soundbites? That is like pulling a Formula 1 driver out of his car during a pit stop and asking him how the race is going.

And FIFA’s idea is to shove a microphone in the player’s face and ask, ‘How do you feel?’

How do you think he feels? He’s exhausted.

This is modern football’s biggest disease. Everything is content. Everything is sponsorship. Everything is television. The match hasn’t even finished and they’re already trying to manufacture headlines.

They tell us they care about player welfare. Really? Then why are players playing more games than ever? Why are tournaments expanding? Why are injuries increasing? And now they want halftime interviews too? The hypocrisy is unbelievable.

Halftime is sacred. It belongs to the players and the coaches. That’s where games are won. That’s where tactics change. That’s where injuries get treated. That’s where leaders speak. It is not a media circus.

And don’t tell me this is for the fans. Fans want better football, not a tired player giving a robotic 20-second answer because somebody sold another broadcast package.

Vinícius understood that. He chose football over public relations.

The funniest part? They threaten him with a fine. A fine. As if that changes the principle. If I were there, I’d pay it too. Because some things are worth more than money.

If FIFA really had their way, they’d put microphones in the dressing room and call it innovation.

Football should come first. Not content. Not commercials. Not corporate greed.

For once, a player pushed back. And that’s exactly why so many people are angry.”

🚨 BOMBSHELL! Tucker Carlson confirms Donald Trump personally shut down the investigation into his own assassination attempt. He reveals Dan Bongino was completely terrified when confronted with hidden FBI evidence.

The White House is covering up the Butler shooting!

THE VIBES IN TORONTO RIGHT NOW 🇨🇦⚽️🇨🇦⚽️

[Devin Heroux @Devin_Heroux]

Canada’s March to the Match continues to work its way through the Toronto streets toward the stadiums.

Beautiful scenes as fans chant and cheer and high five fans who are lining the streets.

It’s going to be electric inside the stadium today.

Graham Platner: “Billionaires don’t exist today because they worked hard. Corporations don’t have the consolidated wealth and power they have just because they made good investments. They got it because they cheated. All of this has happened because of decisions that have been made by establishment politicians who serve those who donate the most money to them”

[Sen. Bernie Sanders @SenSanders]

This week, my amendment to ban billionaire-funded super PACs received unanimous support from my Democratic colleagues.

The momentum is growing. It’s time to repeal Citizens United, ban super PACs and move to the public funding of elections NOW.

In Denmark, McDonalds workers make $25 an hour and, if they are over twenty, the company starts paying into a pension plan for them, and in addition they have a full 6 weeks of paid vacation.

Now how much do you think this costs customers? The Economist looked into this and found out that the Big Mac costs 76 cents less than it does here.

Don't believe the lies that raising the minimum wage would force prices to go up.

Today, Jon Ossoff offered an amendment to stop insurance companies from denying or delaying medically necessary care.

Republicans blocked it.

[Adam Mockler @adammocklerr]

86% of Americans want this. But Republicans block it every single time.

Entering month 6 of the Mamdani mayorship of NYC and Robberies are down 11%, Retail theft is down 19%, and Murder is down an astounding 21%.

And he did so without "Adding 5000 new cops" to the streets. Instead, he's invested in public safety with free childcare, accessible infrastructure, and better funded schools and libraries. He's proven once again that if we want safer communities, we must invest in People—not Punishments.

JUST IN: ALBANIANS CALL FOR PM EDI RAMA TO RESIGN AFTER STRIKING DEAL WITH JARED KUSHNER FOR PROTECTED COASTLINE

“Albania is not for sale. Albania belongs to the Albanian people, and we decide what we want to do here.

It's not that some corrupted politicians can decide what they can do with our property.

He's trying to trade our country as a personal property of him and his family and his collaborators.

We want him to resign.”

[Team Ossoff @TeamOssoff]

Ossoff: Last September, the President of Kazakhstan calls Donald Trump and says he wants to grant tungsten mining rights to an American company. And the very next month, Eric and Don Jr. get a stake in the American company pursuing the mining deal.

Six days later, six days after Prince Eric and Prince Don get their stake, Kazakhstan announces this company will get, “The largest known undeveloped tungsten resource in the world.” A few more weeks go by, and then the U.S. government, run by their father, sets aside 1.6 billion of your tax dollars to fund and finance their mining project. In Kazakhstan.

All this while you pay more for gas, for groceries, for health care, and that's just the tip of the iceberg.

More than half of the publicly identified donors to President Trump’s White House ballroom project have won new or expanded federal contracts worth more than $50 billion, according to a report from a government watchdog group. https://t.co/wEAqxMA7AG

[Mike Levin @MikeLevin]

This is so insanely corrupt, I can’t even believe it.

More than half the donors to Trump’s $400 million White House ballroom just won over $50 billion in new federal contracts in six months.

And here’s the part that should make your blood boil.

Sixteen of these 27 donors were facing federal enforcement actions, antitrust reviews, labor cases, securities charges. Many of those cases have been quietly dropped or scaled back since Trump took office. You write a check, your legal problems disappear. That’s not a coincidence.

The White House won’t even release the full donor list. They’re hiding it on purpose, because daylight is the one thing pay-to-play can’t survive. A federal judge already ruled ballroom construction has to stop until Congress authorizes it.

Government is supposed to serve the people, not auction itself off to the highest bidder. When access goes to whoever pays the most, working families always end up paying the price.

We either end the corruption, or the corruption will end us.

The House Armed Services Committee just voted to merge our military with Israel's. This is utterly insane!! @RoKhanna tried to stop it and nearly all the Democrats voted against him, too! Nearly our entire Congress is bought by the Israeli lobby. This is a core betrayal.
