ESPN implies that Gianni Infantino personally told Iran plans had changed and they had to leave the US for Mexico immediately after last night’s game in LA, leaving no time whatsoever for recovery.
Iran’s next game is in… LA.
🚨🗣️New: Luis Suárez reacts to Uruguay’s arrival in the United States for the World Cup, where the squad faced sniffer dogs and rigorous security checks:
“I’ve been in football a long time, and I’ve seen tournaments all over the world. But what we’re witnessing here with the USA hosting this World Cup is deeply concerning. Take the Uruguay team arriving — world-class players like Manuel Ugarte, standing there with arms folded, looking utterly bewildered as sniffer dogs go through their bags like they’re common criminals. That image says it all. These are ambassadors of the game, not suspects at the border.
This isn’t hospitality; it’s humiliation dressed up as security. You’ve got a Somali referee, one of Africa’s best, denied entry despite a valid visa — a man who dreamed of officiating at the pinnacle of his career, turned away at the airport. African and South American delegations facing extra screenings, visa chaos for fans and officials from qualified nations. This is the ‘land of the free’ rolling out the red carpet? It feels more like a fortress with razor wire.
The beautiful game deserves better than being turned into a political football or a paranoid checkpoint. FIFA chased the dollars — and there are billions to be made, no doubt — but they’ve sold the soul of the tournament to a host that treats global football stars and supporters like potential threats. Meanwhile, American taxpayers and host cities are left holding a bill running into hundreds of millions for security and logistics that FIFA largely pockets.
Football has always been about unity, passion, and bringing people together across borders. Right now, under this hosting, it’s being strangled by suspicion and overreach. The world is watching these scenes and cringing. If this continues, it risks leaving a bitter taste that lingers far longer than any on-pitch glory. We needed a celebration of the game — not a showcase of division. Something has to change.”
BREAKING: Chuck Schumer Just Delivered A Brutal Assessment Of Trump's Iran War.
Schumer argued that nearly every major justification offered for the conflict has moved in the wrong direction.
His list:
- Iran's regime is more radical.
- Iran has greater influence over the Strait of Hormuz.
- Gas prices remain significantly higher than before the war.
- Americans are still waiting for a clear explanation of what was gained.
"We are worse off than before Trump began this foolish war of choice."
President Trump’s name is off the Kennedy Center. The building’s exterior reads “The John F. Kennedy Memorial Center for the Performing Arts” once more.
D.C. resident Bruce Bon said he was "very happy" that Trump's name was removed, but was concerned about how long a tarp covering the removal would be left up. https://t.co/BhynRqzyTA
The store hated your deal where you agreed to pay $3 for a gallon of milk.
But they loved my deal where I agreed to pay $12 for a gallon of milk.
Therefore, my deal is better, because the store loves it.
New documents obtained by The Washington Post show the price to build the ballroom has ballooned to $600 million, up from the initial $200 million estimate, with more than half expected to be paid by U.S. taxpayers. https://t.co/5gHW6YI9vm
Trump: "Qatar is the closest to Iran, physically. With other countries, I noticed they had to travel about 45 minutes to get there. With you, you could walk right across the border."
There's no land border between Iran and Qatar. They're separated by the Persian Gulf.
@winstonchill29@MouthyMom61@bridgetekelly No proof Trump is a pedo? He’s in the Epstein files more than Epstein, has fought tooth and nail to keep the files concealed (Innocent people don’t do that). He’s a convicted rapist, bragged about walking in on Miss Teen USA when the girls were nude and grabbing women by the p
@MouthyMom61@bridgetekelly You are a racist asshole and she owes idiots like you less than nothing. Yes it was free speech and it was also racist. They aren’t mutually exclusive.
President Trump's investment accounts traded between $212 million and $695 million in stocks and other securities over the first three months of the year, an unprecedented sum for a sitting president. Microsoft, Amazon, Meta, Netflix, Oracle and AMD were among the companies that appeared most frequently in the portfolio.
President Trump’s name came off the Kennedy Center in the dead of night Saturday.
More than 60 hours later, almost no one has seen it gone as the tarp and scaffolding remain up. https://t.co/zeXGDaX88m
I was told we needed a billion taxpayer dollars to build a ballroom at the White House to hold events for security, but the administration just held a giant outdoor event on the front lawn of the White House.
How does that work?
The U.S. government just made a land deal with the world's first trillionaire. Not a sale. A trade.
Because apparently that's how we do things now.
715 acres of the Lower Rio Grande Valley National Wildlife Refuge - built by Congress in 1979 to protect one of the most biodiverse wildlife corridors left in North America - handed to SpaceX.
Endangered ocelots. Aplomado falcons. Piping plovers. Land the Carrizo/Comecrudo Nation of Texas has called sacred since long before there was a United States.
SpaceX built a rocket launch site next door. Then came the explosions. Concrete and metal hurled six miles across refuge land. A 2024 study found that after one launch, every single monitored shorebird nest near the site suffered egg damage or loss. The Fish and Wildlife Service's response was not enforcement. It was a land swap.
FOIA documents show internal planning for this transfer started as early as April 2025 - while Musk was running DOGE and threatening to fire federal workers who didn't justify their jobs to him. The agency developed what they called "the most expedited schedule possible" to get it done.
Part of what's being handed over includes the Palmito Ranch Battlefield - the site of the last battle of the Civil War. A National Historic Landmark. Once transferred, SpaceX can restrict public access whenever they want.
25,000+ people submitted public comments. Most opposed the deal. The government moved forward anyway.
A coalition of tribal and conservation groups filed a federal lawsuit this week to stop it. Because someone has to.
Why are we cutting real estate deals with a trillionaire when we could have just made him pay for it?

Trump is giving $300 billion to Iran. This could pay for:
— Student debt elimination for 7.6M Americans
— An end to homelessness in America
— Healthcare subsidies for 22M Americans for nearly a decade
— Medicaid coverage for 3.2M Americans for a decade
— Food assistance for 41M Americans for 3 years
— Federal cancer research for 40+ years
— Free school lunch for every kid in America for over 4 years
— Replacing every lead pipe in America
— Free pre-K for every child in America for over 7 years
Stephen Miller wants to flip a switch and erase one of your oldest rights.
It’s called habeas corpus.
Fancy words but a simple idea that the government can’t just grab you and lock you away. It has to prove to a judge why you’re behind bars. That right is 800 years old.
It’s older than America itself.
And Miller tried to kill it.
New reporting confirms it. Inside the White House, Miller pushed to suspend habeas corpus so agents could seize people, detain them, and deport them with no judge, no hearing, no chance to say “you’ve got the wrong guy.”
Even Trump’s own lawyers put in writing that this is illegal. Miller pushed anyway.
Miller screams “invasion” because the Constitution only allows this sort of thing during an invasion. But this same crowd brags every day that border crossings hit record lows. So which is it?
The right to challenge your own detention is the line between a republic and a regime. Lose it, and the government can disappear anyone.
I will fight this with everything I have.
The Constitution is not optional.
Not for Stephen Miller. Not for anyone.

🇺🇾🇺🇸 Uruguay landed in the U.S. for the World Cup and got welcomed with sniffer dogs and full security checks.
This came just one day after their plane was reportedly blocked from entering U.S. airspace, forcing the team to spend the night stranded at a resort in Mexico before their opening match.
FIFA and the airline blamed each other. The pre-match press conference was cancelled.
So this is the World Cup 2026 welcome: a football team treated like a threat before they even kick a ball.
