Resident of Mexico buys entire men's national team Rolexes as a thank you in advance of a win. FIFA makes team return watches because "bribes" are bad for football. FIFA having a problem with an honest gift & calling it a bribe is some comedic gold. brobible.com/sports/artic...

Trump celebrating Balogun’s eligibility to play for Team USA when his administration would strip Balogun’s citizenship tomorrow if he didn’t play world class soccer is really a chef’s kiss.

JUST POSTED: An updated tally is in, and the count of Trump followers turned financial losers is even bigger than first thought. Much bigger. 988,905 buyers of #$TRUMP memecoin have lost a total of $3.81 billion. www.nytimes.com/2026/07/04/u...

In a video message Pope Leo urged Americans to uphold the ideals of the Declaration of Independence. “…the moral greatness of a nation is manifested above all in its capacity to support, protect and cherish the lives of all, especially the most vulnerable and those whose worth is questioned.”

The policies being enacted look far more like Nazi efforts to push Jews and LGBT people out of Germany, as noncitizens of the Reich, than previous government efforts to keep certain classes of people “in their place” as second-class citizens. trib.al/RG9afqU

I'll summarize this: Mamdani asked NYers to keep air conditioning at 78 degrees. A wave criticism hit online. A MSNBC broadcast pointed out the US Department of Energy recommends that 78 degree figure. Immediately after, the US Department of Energy deleted 6,000 web pages related to energy saving.
