The FIFA is not a private equity fund. It is an association with statutes, regulations, and a fiduciary responsibility to protect the global game. If you sell football's crown jewels to private investors, you also sell part of the game – especially its soul. Money matters, but it must never become everything. #FIFA #Football #GianniInfantino
We are supposedly at war to stop Iran from enriching the uranium we “obliterated” over a year ago.
Yesterday we signed a deal to help Saudi Arabia enrich uranium.
The first time the United States has ever helped another country enrich uranium on foreign soil.
The Saudis refused the inspection protocol 140 other countries accept. Too intrusive, they said.
Trump agreed. He signed a national security waiver to get around the rule.
The Saudis paid Kushner $100 million. They put $2 billion into his firm. They put another $6 billion into LIV Golf, which pays Trump properties to host its tournaments. They signed ten billion dollars in Trump-branded real estate deals in Jeddah and Riyadh. All in just the last few years.
But sure. My paintings.
When the 2026 World Cup was announced for the United States back in 2018, I told myself there was no way I’d miss it. I was going to be there in person, experiencing a World Cup on home soil and I know so many of you felt the exact same way.
Fast forward to now, and the ticket prices are completely astronomical. Outrageously unaffordable. What was supposed to be the dream of a lifetime has been priced out of reach for regular fans like me. I’m going to miss watching my country host the biggest event in sports… something I may never get to experience again in my lifetime.
Yes, they��re going to make money off this massive event on U.S. soil. But the greed has gone too far. It’s ruining the beautiful game and turning it into something only the wealthy can enjoy. A World Cup should be for everyone not just those who can drop thousands without blinking.
This is an absolute shame.
We asked people around the world to rate the morality and ethics of others in their country.
The U.S. is the only place we surveyed where more adults describe the morality and ethics of others living in the country as bad than good. See our full morality report here: https://t.co/qBtj1ycDkP
Jon Stewart on the ICE murder of Alex Pretti: “They’re lying. We saw it. That’s how brazen they lie when they know we’ve seen the truth. Imagine how they lie when there’s no evidence to contradict them. Maybe that explains why Alex Pretti really was a threat. Because he was brandishing a weapon. A handheld, aluminum, 1080p, 60fps weapon of mass illumination. Because there is nothing more dangerous to a regime predicated on lies than witnesses who capture the truth”
“You’re a weirdo if you end friendships over politics” was always the lamest fucking take I’ve ever heard. Your politics are a reflection of your values and god forbid I only want people with actual morals in my life
Easy to see why, as a millennial, I've become more liberal the older I've gotten
When I was a college freshman, Bush won the presidency. Since then, Republicans have been wrong on every major policy issue of my adult life: Launching wars, voting rights, torture, LGBTQ+ rights, taxes, social services, COVID, healthcare, school lunch for children, vaccines, ICE, and immigration. Every single one
i am NOT a pedophile, and all the proof is right here in my I’m Not A Pedophile document. unfortunately i had to redact all of it but you can use your imagination.
Trump’s latest feud with Canada crystallizes his presidency.
1. He’s a baby. Ontario puts out an ad accurately reflecting Reagan’s beliefs, Trump throws a tantrum.
2. He’s a liar. Yes, Reagan used tariffs—intelligently. He didn’t tariff the world. Watch the video.
3. He harms ordinary Americans. We will all pay for Trump’s tariffs through higher prices. He doesn’t care.
We’re not even 5 months past Liberation Day and already:
- Job market has completely collapsed.
- We are in a recession.
- Inflation is surging.
- Our exports are collapsing as the world is boycotting us.
- We don’t have a single actual trade deal in effect.
Why did we do this to ourselves?
Why?
This level of corruption is not normal or acceptable. Even if we are exhausted by each report of it going further and further, we can never grow numb to it.
6 months ago we had magnets and rare earths and weren't paying 55% taxes on imports from China. This guy is the world's shittiest deal maker in history
