$300 billion is 5 X as much as Congress spends on our roads & bridges annually. I’m tired of winning.

The U.S.A. “undertakes with regional partners to develop a definitive, mutually agreed plan with at least $300 billion for the reconstruction and economic development of” Iran.

This is the weakness of autocratic governments. If you can figure out how to push the buttons of the (80 year old) leader, you own the whole country.

@FIFAcom Japan doesn’t clean stadiums because FIFA asked them to. They clean because their culture teaches that the space you occupy is not yours alone, it belongs to everyone who comes after you. That’s not a football habit. That’s a philosophy most countries haven’t figured out yet

[FIFA @FIFAcom]

The reason Japan fans clean the stadium after each game. Respect. 🤝🇯🇵

I see your profile picture. That’s Johnny Cash. My hero too. Arrested seven times. Smuggled 668 amphetamines across the Mexican border in 1965. Took every drug there was and drank like I did. Cheated on his first wife. Slept with more woman than I ever did. Hit bottom in a cave in Tennessee in 1968 trying to crawl off and die. And then he got up. He got clean. He spent the rest of his life singing for prisoners and addicts and the people the country threw away because he knew he was one of them.

That was the whole point of the Man in Black. He wore it for the poor and the beaten down. He wore it for the prisoner who has long paid for his crime. He wore it for the ones who never heard a word of Jesus. He wore it for the addicted and the dying. He wore it as a standing witness that no one is past saving.

You picked his picture. You did not pick his message. Try listening to the words.

Dude he literally running New York like the average joe in a movie who gets elected into office as a gag and then fixes everything simply because he is not a politician and an earnest regular guy.

Workers have begun removing Donald Trump's name from the Kennedy Center

According to the recent NYT article, the person in the administration most against releasing the Epstein files is Trump, who'd have to resign if the allegations in there are true, and the person most in favor of releasing them is Vance, who'd become president if they're true.

Rocket Lab is being added to the Nasdaq-100 Index.

This is a landmark moment for the team. We're incredibly proud of what we’ve achieved, and even more excited about what is still to come.

Trump: I’m attacking Iran. I’m not attacking Iran. I’m attacking Iran. I’m not attacking Iran.

Ohio Republicans secretly awarded Google, Meta, and Amazon $600 million in tax breaks to build data centers.

The tax breaks were written to last 40 years and cannot be undone.

[More Perfect Union @MorePerfectUS]

BREAKING: Ohio secretly gave 100% sales tax breaks, lasting up to 40 years, to tech giants for data centers, per https://t.co/9Wr6itu0Jb.

The exemptions—signed by Gov. Kasich—give Google, Meta and Amazon at least $600 million each.

Legislators say the contracts can't be undone.

[Chris D. Jackson @ChrisDJackson]

Imagine spending years calling Joe Biden “Sleepy Joe,” only to become the guy falling asleep during televised meetings, ball games, and everything in between.

You can’t script karma better than that.

The man built an entire brand on mocking Biden’s age and stamina, and now he can’t stay awake when the cameras are rolling.

Sometimes karma takes its time.

But it always shows up.

[Hater Report @HaterReport]

Knicks watch parties canceled, extensive security checks, people waiting hours to get in the arena just for him to fall asleep watching the game 😭💀

[Rushi @rushicrypto]

Not only was he booed

Remember those were $6000 seats

He got booed by rich people

[𝕱𝖊𝖗𝖗𝖊𝖙 𝖆𝖑𝖑𝖊𝖓 @ferretallen]

Dude spent a decade calling Biden “Sleepy Joe” and he falls asleep at the NBA FINALS 😭

[@MysterySolvent @MysterySolvents]

Trump prevented everyone from celebrating near the game. He made everyone show up hours early. Women could not take in a bag. He inconvenienced the entire city. And then he fell asleep.

[AdequateEmily (PRIDE MONTH EDITION) @AdequateEmily]

Not to harp on it but its really funny to hear some people argue “hey it was a mixed reaction, it wasn’t all boos” and then you click on this and it’s just the deepest, from the gut, loudest boos you’ve ever heard. Like just objectively the most negative response from the crowd.
