Truth.

[Amelia @amelia_tweetz]

Watching the World Cup has me asking questions. Do Europeans get issued 8 weeks of vacation, unlimited airline miles, and a trust fund at birth? Because every match I turn on there are 40,000 fans following their team to a different state or country on a Tuesday afternoon while Americans are hiding in a work bathroom checking scores.

[Matt Basta @mbasta4]

Very good to know.

[FIFA @FIFAcom]

All fans will be permitted to bring in one, soft, plastic, 20 ounces (590ml), factory sealed disposable water bottle into any FIFA World Cup 2026 match in the USA and Canada. ✅

As FIFA World Cup 2026 Chief Operating Officer, Heimo Schirgi, explains, fans will not be permitted to bring in hard sided, reusable water bottles due to safety and security reasons. ❌

We can’t wait to welcome the world to the biggest FIFA World Cup in history! 🌎🏆⚽

The NFL is expanding its ticketing ecosystem with the addition of Tixr as the newest licensed channel of NFL Ticket HQ. https://t.co/d2RCsPRmQd

My 13-year-old son just said, “Mum, I think I have a good idea. The people in America protesting ICE should call themselves LAVA — Local And Very Angry. And lava melts ice. You should post that and see if it's a good idea"

We’re about as far away from the United States as you can get, here in Perth, Western Australia. But I hope the people over there know that even a young boy on the other side of the world can see when something isn’t right.

@TSA Thank you. We appreciate you keeping travelers safe.

@KatieMiller here is a good idea: just don't subscribe to Netflix. It's a free country. Why do you get to dictate the programming at Netflix?

Dear @SouthwestAir,

Now sitting on our plane while we wait for connecting luggage to put be on plane? Really I hope I make my connection.

Sincerely,
A Passenger

[Matt Basta @mbasta4]

Dear @SouthwestAir ,

Delayed flight not good because there was no ground crew to connect gate to plane so the passengers could exit and we can board the same plane. Hope we make are our connecting flight.

@RogerMarshallMD The GOP has been promising since 2010 that it will repeal and replace the ACA with its version of affordable healthcare. Nothing. Why now?

[Matt Basta @mbasta4]

@MarshaBlackburn Can you please tell me one Democrat who said he or she "won't budge until planes from the sky"? I sense this is some fearmongering here. Thank you for your attention to this matter.
