The Indiana House voted 57-41 today to approve a gerrymandered congressional map that could eliminate the state’s two districts currently held by Democrats. The GOP-controlled legislature held the vote after facing months of intensifying pressure from Trump.

The map now heads to the Indiana Senate.

The US, Mexico, and Canada are hosting the World Cup.

Did anyone notice there wasn't a single Mexican superstar on stage at the draw today?

Tom Brady, Shaq, Gretzky, and Heidi Klum.

Leave it to Trump to fuck up the World Cup Draw.

He turned a 15-20 minute event into a 3-hour disaster.

Poor production, audio dropping out, lighting terrible.

Even Kevin Hart was invisible on the screen.

FIFA determined who is the man of peace.

Fucking farce.

Trump had FIFA create an award for him.

He even hung the medal over his own head.

This is as close to blowing someone on TV as Fox will let you get.

Nativity display outside Saint Susanna Parish in Dedham, Massachusetts.

Mary, Joseph, and baby Jesus were swapped out for an ICE sign.

Below it, another message claims “the holy family is safe in our church” and instructs people to call a number if they see immigration agents.

RFK may make measles common again. More kids will be hospitalized, some will lose hearing, some will die.

A comeback will be costly. A study estimates that an outbreak w/2 cases is >$240,000. An outbreak the size of West Texas' is estimated around $12.6 million.

🧵Kushner and Witkoff don't represent the interests of the US or Ukraine.

They are selling the interests of the US and Ukraine for a price.

Just remember:

The 28-point peace plan drafted with Kushner’s help includes a key priority of the Saudi government, which pays Kushner $25 million annually.

McCrery Architects out.

Shalom Baranes is now the new ballroom architect.

Which means the invoice came in from the previous architect, and Trump sacked him.

Dems should be slamming their fists on how such a deal could be made.

The relatives Trump let in are just as ruthless as El Chapo.
