I've studied the anti-vax movement for 7 years of my career and I can't believe I'm now at the point where I can't recommend the CDC as a trustworthy source of health information.
This is dangerous, insane, and embarrassing.

I've reclassified this guy as the First Lady. All he's doing, and all he cares about, is remodeling the White House. I look forward to his Christmas display this year
Trump: "Right behind me by the way, in about 2 years from now, is a much bigger room. This will be the entrance. That's a knockout panel. It looks pretty nice right now but it'll look a lot better in a little while... The future entrance to something that's really become very popular, the ballroom."

There was such a big opportunity for FIFA to not do this when every other sport/entertainment event in the US is. To not do dynamic pricing. To not fleece ordinary fans. To make the World Cup accessible and genuinely grow the game.

FIFA has raised ticket prices for dozens of 2026 World Cup games, in some cases by more than 20%.
Most upper-deck tickets to the World Cup final are now $5,055 or $3,450.
Increases for two of three USMNT games.

Here you have a Florida Fish & Wildlife officer detaining an individual who was fishing and admitting they have been directed to “check with immigration on anyone who gives us a passport and doesn’t appear to be a citizen”, which sounds a lot like racial profiling.
