As much as a U.S. loss at soccer may sadden us, the upside is that it’ll free everyone up to root for the Viking dude from Norway like we all secretly want to do anyways
This is what the beautiful game is all about.

W/Mendoza fired, Stearns was essentially asked why he should get to stay: "I believe that we are building the foundation of an organization that will deliver what we all want. I don't think our record is indicative of some of the advancements we've made in the organization."

@SteveGelbs The team sucks.
Sterns has failed.
Mendoza is a deer in the headlights. Every week they find a new low.
The same talking points ‘this can’t keep happening’, we’ve got to do better’.
Utter disaster.
Burn it down.
Clean house. @StevenACohen2#Mets
This is unconscionable.
The Governor of CA, an elected official meant to serve the constituents of this state, both individuals and their companies, is urging us to AVOID a company here. Incredibly unethical and disqualifying.
No doubt a spiteful response to @Chevron informing the CA citizens that the reason our gas is always outrageously expensive is because of the CA gas tax. That is a FACT cause by the CA Gov.
I will be intentionally buying gas at Chevron this week in LA.
The woman who runs Baby2Baby - the NGO that will be funded by state money to deliver on this promise - sits on the board of Gavin Newsom’s wife’s company.
This is just graft hidden in plain sight.
Ok… most of you know I was in the organic baby formula business, but what you don’t know is I dabbled in diapers as well.
I also know this baby2baby “non profit” and have had past interactions with them.. I’ll leave that out for now..
Let’s dive into this absolute grifting nonsense. Prepare to be shocked.
California is about to spend $20 million of taxpayer money to give 100,000 newborns 400 diapers each through Baby2Baby.
Do the math with me:
100,000 babies × 400 diapers = 40 million diapers
$20,000,000 ÷ 40,000,000 = $0.50 per diaper!!!!!
Now walk into any Costco in California and you can buy the same quality diapers for .12 to .15 cents each!
That’s $48 to $60 for 400 diapers.
So the state is paying 8–10x more per diaper than a regular family buying in bulk.
They could’ve just handed every low-income new mom $100 cash and told her to go to Costco. She’d get more diapers, better ones if she wanted, and still have money left for formula, wipes, or whatever the hell she actually needs.
But nah… that wouldn’t let Gavin and his connected “nonprofit” girls running the show there cut ribbons, take photos, do galas and be friends with celebrities and brag about the “first-in-the-nation” program while skimming their cut for “administration” and “partnerships.”
This is peak government stupidity!!!
Spend way more money to feel good and look good, instead of just trusting parents with their own damn money.
We’re not helping babies. We’re funding another bloated nonprofit-government grift.
Math doesn’t lie. The diaper math is brutal.
What a scam and a joke!!!!!
