So far at the 2026 FIFA Epstein Cup before a ball kicked:
- Senegal & Uzbekistan squads treated like criminals upon arrival given full cavity searches;
- Africa’s best referee sent back to Somalia despite having a diplomatic passport;
- Iraq team photographer sent back despite valid visa;
- AIPS (international sport journalist association) calling on FIFA to sort out unacceptable visa issues of African & Iranian journalists;
- 90% of Moroccan fans with tickets denied entry
- 14 members of Iran backroom staff denied visas
Not a word from Gianni ”today I feel black/gay/disabled etc” Infantino.
It wasn’t just him. Trump’s next U.S. Attorney in Virginia, Erik Siebert, looked at the Comey case and also refused.
Career FBI agents refused.
The Secret Service refused.
Every person who said no was Trump’s own pick.
Todd Gilbert, the former Republican Speaker of the Virginia House, took a U.S. Attorney job from Trump and quit 37 days later. His only public comment was a "boy, that escalated quickly" meme.
Today, we learned why. He wouldn't manufacture the charges. Genuine courage, and rarer in his party than it should be.
FL police use A.I. to identify a vehicle theft suspect from surveillance video. Based on an "85% match" they arrest and charge Jalil Richardson. He spends 3 months in jail. He loses his job, his home, and custody of his kids.
Richardson lives in N.C.
He's never been to Florida. And his timesheet shows him at work at the time of the crime. No one checked before charging him. https://t.co/2AcQYwq30f
JUST IN: 111 ex-federal prosecutors who served in the Northern District of Illinois have issued a statement about U.S. Attorney Andrew Boutros' office, expressing concern about an exodus of talent, grand jury irregularities, collapsed cases and a breach of trust with judges:
There is a massive DOJ scandal going on in Illinois right now that national media is ignoring for reasons I think we all understand b/c let me tell you folks, if this shit was going on under Joe Biden, that's all you'd fucking hear about.
This shit pisses me off so fucking much. Every business in this entire set of 10 blocks gets cut off during one of the biggest nights of the year for the city all because one orange dickhead needs to come watch the game. Also what happens to all the commuter traffic coming into and out of Penn station? Thousands of people planning to come in and out on NJ transit and the LIRR, anyone on the ACE or 123 lines do what exactly? Absolutely ROBBING the city of their homecoming game.
Just noticed that NIST withdrew its 2021 inclusive-language guidelines (which ended its use of "master"/"slave," "whitelist"/"blacklist", etc.) in response to Trump's anti-DEI EO.

This is a devastating interview.
Scott Pelley tells the NYT that Bari Weiss directly put a “thumb on the scale” for Trump over the killing of Renee Good.
Here’s his explanation of exactly what happened.
UPDATE: New World Screwworm is no longer contained to Texas.
USDA says that the infested dog announced earlier today lives in Lea County, New Mexico and will be reclassified as the first detection in that state.
And now a goat in Gillespie County, TX, has also been confirmed.
The US has quietly deployed 82nd Airborne paratroopers to Israel, per deployment order leaked to me.
The deployment is tied to new US-Israel joint contingency plans for seizing Kharg Island and carving out coastal territory inside Iran.
