It's both, because 1) "Football" is a catchall name for a game played on foot that involves a ball vs. sports that involved riding a horse (think polo or horse racing) 🧵1/3
From @theathleticfc.bsky.social: “Soccer” or “football”?
The origins of the various names for this sport, and the reason most of the world calls it “football,” are actually less clear than many fans assume. nyti.ms/49XShxc

The World Cup is coming to North America: So in 2026, is it ‘football’ or ‘soccer’?
As the world descends on the USA, Canada and Mexico, it's time to fire up the age-old debate of what to call the beautiful game

For generations, southwestern Pennsylvania has been a hub for production and innovation– and we’re seeing that again today.
The groundbreaking ceremony for the new Esplanade development is an example of this innovation, and what we can achieve when government, business, and community work together.

You can’t go to work if you don’t have a safe, quality place to care for your kids. It’s why @pahousedems.com push for funding like this - it’s good for families, business and our economy.
An investment in our teachers is an investment in our children.
In this budget, we're directing $25 million to our child care teachers to put more money in their pockets and bring more workers to the Commonwealth. I'm grateful to all of the advocates who have fought hard to see this in PA.

2M Pennsylvanians will lose SNAP benefits in November because Congressional Republicans refuse to reopen the federal government.
Republicans control the White House & Congress, and they have a responsibility to govern. There is absolutely no reason Americans should go hungry on November 1st.

It is our responsibility to leave the next generation a country that's stronger than which we founded and where good public service is the standard in government.
We can do this and face all of our other challenges when we work together.

Because Congressional Republicans shut down the government, nearly 2 million Pennsylvanians who rely on SNAP to put food on the table will not receive assistance in November.
That’s nearly 2M Pennsylvanians who will have less food to feed themselves and their families.

We've funded 1,500 new cops and invested hundreds of millions in violence prevention programs.
If he wants to get serious on safety, President Trump should invest more in policing and programs like these — not use the National Guard for a dangerous power grab.
