Arrowhead Stadium and Berlin's Olympiastadion share similar capacities as World Cup venues. Yet Arrowhead has 19,000 parking spaces served by one local bus, while Olympiastadion has 660 spaces and three rapid train stations. We are truly not ready for the World Cup.

The irony of people doing this fake virtue signaling (after an entire campaign rife with fainting spells over the cost of eggs), is that their political deity is famous for manufacturing his clothing outside the US and for failing to pay American contractors.

How much Elon Musk makes from the government a day: $8 million. How much a senior on Social Security gets a day: $65 Guess which budget Musk and Trump want to cut?

We have a guy hell-bent on dismantling the government who is too lazy to actually read a contract, too careless to distinguish between different parts of a company, and perfectly happy to tweet out misinformation to 20 million people. It's a problem.

This is beyond grotesque. Shame on everyone and everything that is enabling this, especially a Republican Party that spent decades pretending to care about places like Ukraine.

We knew it, but seeing the data laid out – it's still shocking: higher taxes for most, deep cuts to Medicaid & SNAP—all to fund tax breaks for the top 1%. It's difficult to fully grasp the scale of the con being perpetrated on Americans right now by the Trump administration.
