BREAKING: Trump’s National Fair was just exposed for scamming donors, possible wire fraud, and corrupt contracts to Trump allies. @RepHuffman

@zacdayvis A gob of Croatian hair gel and we would have been in overtime.

“There’s a sensor in the ball” Convenient! No offside lines to draw. We just have to take FIFA’s word for it! Ignore what your eyes see! Sorry, Croatia. Should’ve been a legendary goal.

@Its_Kene VAR was originally created to prevent Mexicans from tiptoeing across the border. But when that became unpopular, they sold it to FIFA and now we get to see Croatia lose because their striker didn’t wear hair gel today

Croatia have been absolutely robbed there!! I've never seen a referee go to VAR for a offside call. They have re-refereed the game. Ref and VAR have absolutely gifted Portugal the win.

@patrickgaspard You’re telling me we can’t keep Mexicans from crossing the border illegally but if Modric’s nose is offsides in Seattle I can see it live from my basement in Scranton? What is going on???

@juliaioffe Let’s let refs ref and put the VAR on the border with Mexico where it belongs.

VAR just stole an all-time World Cup moment away from us Regardless of it being the right or wrong call, you have to feel for Croatia. They fought and fought and fought and to have VAR play a role in two massive moments must be a hard pill to swallow, but that’s the game in 2026 I suppose

@mannyfidel Teams need to go high and tight and tape those ears back. Modric was lucky his nose was nowhere near

the most brutal offside call i've ever seen in terms of impact. if the croatia player had a shorter haircut, we'd be going into extra time. his head didn't even change the trajectory of the pass, and now they're going home. it's not why the rule was made. gutting

@adammocklerr Disgusting. A back hoe lifting the border fence was one of 49,999,999 other reasons why this all happened.

@DerekCressman Think about Africa as you step over our own homeless here at home. No more junkets.

The gap for the future is being filled now- by Africans themselves and countries with actual money that are much closer. Aramco is right there and is the most valuable thing in existence pretty much. The USA send LGBTQ and condom training while China builds actual bridges. The idea of another debt ridden American bureaucracy to deal with this is old and outdated. We can focus on our own people for a while and silence the critics of foreign intervention. Nicolas Kristof trips arent helping. Africa have their own journalists and they have internet thanks to Elon. They can send their stories via email and dropbox and the rich Times staff stay can stay home. No more junkets. Trillions later and its clear its not working. In fact "the work" you do now will be criticized as interference again in 20 years.

Starting in early 2025, Elon Musk and the Trump administration began terminating USAID's programs and firing its staff — with Musk himself boasting about "feeding it into the woodchipper." One year ago today, USAID was officially dissolved, its remaining programs haphazardly folded into the State Department. Amid all the lies and misinformation that have followed, some facts about what has actually been lost: • USAID saved more than 3 million lives a year at a cost of less than $10/month per American. That is what was destroyed. On purpose. • According to Boston University's Global Impact Counter — which tracked deaths attributable to the cuts until it stopped operations in February 2026 — an estimated 781,000 people died preventable deaths in the first year, including 518,000 children. • Global child mortality (the number of children who die before their fifth birthday) rose in 2025 for the first time in 35+ years — by 200,000 additional deaths. • USAID's 50-country disease surveillance network — the system that cut outbreak response times from 2 weeks to 48 hours — is gone. We are now watching an unprecedented Ebola outbreak unfold in real time — with the highest first-month caseload and death rate in modern history. • Programs reaching 93 million women and children were cut 92%. TB programs cut 56%. Water and sanitation cut 86%. Over 2,000 health facilities permanently closed. • 25 million fewer people received humanitarian assistance in 2025. The overall humanitarian budget was slashed 74% — from $14.1 billion to $3.7 billion. • 363 million people face acute hunger in 2026. The famine early-warning system that would have seen it coming went dark for five months. • $1.7 billion in democracy and governance funding (election monitoring, anti-corruption work, support for independent media and civil society) was terminated. • 360+ independent media outlets lost funding. Hundreds of legal clinics closed. • Far from saving money, the Trump administration itself has already said the dismantlement will cost taxpayers at least $19.2 billion in cancellation fees, severance, and penalties. That's more than half of USAID's annual budget — spent on destruction and closeout, not support for vulnerable people. • American farmers, universities, and businesses are among the casualties too. USAID partnered with more than 3,500 U.S. companies and maintained 17 university-based research labs. Its work with U.S.-based contractors and the private sector generated hundreds of thousands of American jobs and multiplied the return on every dollar spent. Those markets and partnerships are gone.
