Remarkable victory for the town of Foxboro, who held their nerve against Boston World Cup host committee & Kraft group, refusing an entertainment license over $7.8m funding gap, and now have secured commitments for the town to incur no costs & not needing to front the money.
Next time a $70 concert ticket turns into $180 at checkout, you can thank Trump.
The government had a case to break up the Live Nation–Ticketmaster monopoly, but Trump just let them off the hook. They control 70% of tickets and venues, so they set the prices, the fees, and where artists play.
That $50 “service fee” isn’t the market. It’s a monopoly ripping you off and Trump is letting it happen.
These are four U.S. soldiers who were killed in an Iranian drone strike in Kuwait over the weekend.
They are Capt. Cody Khork, 35
Sgt. 1st Class Nicole Amor, 39
Sgt. 1st Class Noah Tietjens, 42
Sgt. Declan Coady, 20
Two other soldiers were killed in the same attack; their names have not yet been released.
RIP.
.@JamesTalarico’s message to Gen Z: “You may not be interested in politics, but politics is interested in you.
Your boss cares about politics. Your landlord cares about politics. Your insurance company cares about politics.
And until you care about politics, they're gonna keep using the political system to screw you over.”
The killing of Alex Pretti is a heartbreaking tragedy. It should also be a wake-up call to every American, regardless of party, that many of our core values as a nation are increasingly under assault.
New: House Democrats DEFEAT a Republican bill to let employers deny overtime pay or minimum wage to workers if they classify time worked as "job training" or "education."
6 Republicans joined us and the vote failed; GOP leaders then cancelled votes on two more anti-labor bills.
People. Trump’s lust for Greenland is not a troll. He will absolutely move on it unless he is stopped or costs are too high. Congressional action, clear public opposition, prospect of military resignations, threat of European sanctions are all relevant. If Europe shrinks from the fight to preserve NATO, it will lose the fight and lose NATO. A predatory America strips the alliance of any meaning, and tells us the United States would never come to their defense anyway. Any American citizen or Member of Congress who values NATO needs to communicate clearly to Trump: hands off Greenland.
Fact check: The 2026 World Cup was awarded in 2018 to a joint U.S.–Canada–Mexico bid after years of planning, and the 2028 Olympics were awarded to Los Angeles in 2017 after a long city-led process. Trump didn���t “get” either; he inherited both and took credit.
Blaming everything on immigrants isn’t working. Trump’s underwater on everything from the economy to immigration because he’s used the presidency to enrich himself and his friends at the expense of everyone else. No amount of racism will change the facts.
Never, ever, ever, ever in the entire history of humanity has one human being’s ego needed to be stroked so much. It’s so fucking pathetic. And shame, shame, shame on all the ego strokers.
Unlike Texas - California voters overwhelmingly approved of the new redistricting map.
You're suing the wrong state.
Another day of two-tiered justice from Trump's p̶e̶r̶s̶o̶n̶a̶l̶ ̶l̶a̶w̶y̶e̶r̶s̶ Justice Department.
