Paraguay’s 🇵🇾 last game prior to the World Cup…. 👀 incredible fan base.

Thank God we play them in the 🇺🇸, the USMNT would not stand a chance playing away.

I am so hype for this World Cup bc we’re going to hear sentences like this that have never been uttered before

Austin has spent $2 BILLION on nonprofit funding since 2019—with zero accountability. 🚨

Official audits show @austintexasgov repeatedly lowered performance benchmarks after providers missed goals. A loop of blank checks with your tax dollars. 💸

They're asking for $750M more in an upcoming November Bond Package—including $220M for more nonprofit infrastructure. 🛑

If they can’t track the billions they already spent, they don't deserve another dime.

Let's send a message. Throw every single council member out of office in November.

I want you to imagine a GOP congressional candidate was close associates with and a defense witness for a white supremacist terrorist. And that he volunteered for a white supremacist militia.

Would the mainstream press care? Would they cover it?

We all know the answer.

FIFA make last-gasp change to World Cup stadium rules: BANNING fans from bringing refillable plastic bottles, so fans must buy water in stadia

As of May, empty bottles permitted so fans could refill amid heat concerns. Not now

Six years ago. This is when the public health apparatus lost its credibility. We were told it was too dangerous for kids to go to school, but not too dangerous for thousands of people to gather for the “right” cause. Feels like a fever dream.

I simply wasn’t prepared for how sophisticated FIFA was in its extortion. It’s like trying to trade against Jane Street.

[Ewan MacKenna @EwanMacKenna]

FIFA block booked hotel rooms across the US to create artificial demand and drive up prices for football fans. They cancelled all the block bookings now.

That's insane.

Seven properties, a Mercedes G-Wagon, sneakers worn by Kobe Bryant and a Mickey Mantle rookie card worth $1.5 million. All of these things were bought with taxpayer money.

Paul Randall pleaded guilty in one of the largest Medicaid fraud schemes in the California history – diverting more than $270 million in tax dollars.

Two days ago, Spencer Pratt held a cookout at Jim Gilliam Park in the Jungles. A week earlier, Rolling 60s territory. Politicians avoid these neighborhoods, scared of the anger from decades of neglect.

Spencer showed up anyway. Broke bread. Listened.

This is a new Los Angeles.

Another banger from @dsonoiki for @spencerpratt

[Jason Howerton @jason_howerton]

But CNN called them on the phone and made them promise they were not doing fraud!! This must be a mistake.
