my favorite subplot for this summer's World Cup is that if Iran and USA both finish as runners-up in their groups, they would immediately face off in the Round of 32
the game would be on July 3rd (!) in Dallas, Texas lmao
i am BEGGING for a 'Battle for the Strait of Hormuz'
NEW: The World Cup of Ugh
What was supposed to be a joyful American summer is clouded with angst and dread. High ticket prices. Slumping demand. Travel bans. ICE agents. A war. And so much Trump

From @TheAthletic: “He’s the best player that’s ever walked this earth,” Dodger catcher Will Smith said about Shohei Ohtani after their win.
Ohtani fired six scoreless innings, went 3-for-4 at the plate and reached base five times on Wednesday.

Rep. Mike Thompson: "I've searched hard to find constituents in my district who believe this economy is golden…Electricity bills are up 8.5%. Is that golden?"
Bessent: *refuses to answer*
Thompson: "Health insurance costs are up 26% — that's not golden. Childcare costs are up 9% — that's not golden. Gas prices are up nearly 50% — that's not golden. Grocery prices are still straining family budgets — that's not golden."
