Zelensky didn’t wear a suit to a White House meeting and was disrespecting the dignity of the office and now we’re going to watch dudes give each other permanent brain damage on the White House lawn sponsored by budlight

If Obama did this he would be impeached

When Russia hosted the World Cup in 2018, it had to suspend normal visa rules for the tournament. Foreigners with tickets could enter visa-free, using a scheme called ‘Fan ID.’

Russia also had to do weird stuff to keep FIFA’s sponsors happy. For example, small shops near Fan Zones and stadiums could only sell Budweiser beer on match days.

So yes, FIFA absolutely does dictate conditions to host governments when it suits FIFA. Infantino pretending otherwise is nonsense.

Iranian Football Federation announces the 8% ticket quota allocated to Iran has been revoked by the U.S., leaving the federation currently unable to distribute tickets to supporters.

A case study in political interference, discrimination and FIFA looking the other way.

It’s such a perfect metaphor to have something that gives joy to tens of thousands get ruined by one Republican billionaire asshole

Even Hitler's Germany did not prevent athletes and officials from entering the country to take part in the 1936 Olympics.

This is pristine racism and @FIFAcom stands disgraced for allowing Trump to disfigure the beautiful game in this way.

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.

🚨 خلـوا العـالم تعـرف أن الولايـات المتحـدة لا تستحـق تنظيـم كـأس العـالم،

تم أحتجاز لاعب المنتخب العراقي أيمن حسين 🇮🇶 للتحقيق لمدة 7 ساعات من قبل السلطات الأمريكية في مطار شيكاغو!!!!!!

تخيلوا رحلة مدتها 12 ساعة بالأضافة 7 ساعات حجز للتحقيق بدون سبب واضح، ضاع يوم اللاعب.

Remember when they said Zelensky desecrated the sanctity of the White House by not wearing a suit

De pire en pire : les Etats-Unis 🇺🇸 ont révoqué le permis de voyage de nombreux fans écossais 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿 qui avaient déjà tout payé (billets, hôtels) pour assister à la Coupe du Monde !

Ces derniers avaient également payé les 40 dollars pour obtenir l'ESTA (il s'agit globalement d'une autorisation de voyager aux USA qui ne nécessite pas de tampon sur le passeport) mais Washington s'en moque bien.

Quelle Coupe du Monde...

They published a 900-page book in 2023 that told everyone exactly what they planned to do if/when Trump won.

Many people chose not to believe them.

[Paul Graham @paulg]

This is an actual page on the White House web site. It reads like something written about a third world dictator. So embarrassing. I have not seen any branch of the federal government sink this low in my lifetime.

This is an insane story. The DOGE whistleblower who said that login attempts were made to the NLRB from Russian IP addresses minutes after DOGE got access had his brake lines cut and photos of him walking his dog from a drone taped to his door after Musk attacked him on Twitter

[OSINTtechnical @Osinttechnical]

The House has passed bipartisan Ukraine Support Act, providing $8 billion in military financing loans for Ukraine to buy US-built equipment, extending USAI through 2027, and placing major new sanctions on Russia.

The Senate is not expected to vote on the Act.

Screwworms in Texas. Ticks and alpha gal across the Midwest. Center rates among 30 year olds up 5 to 10x normal rates in some states. Invasive tree-killing beetles spreading across the country.

That’s America first, baby.

People in the 12 mile quarantine zone are being asked not to move warm-blooded animals. Asked.
