Personal news dump: I first fell in love with college football watching SEC on CBS as a kid with my dad.
So it is a dream come true to announce that today is my first day covering college football for @CBSSports. I can’t think @SilversteinAdam enough for the opportunity

We’re about to spend $300,000,000,000 rebuilding Iran after spending $80,000,000,000 destroying it, while telling Americans on Medicaid to take a hike.
America First.

“My mum could not be here either for a visa issue, and the money we had to pay for it.”
This is genuinely sad. What FIFA and the U.S. have done in this WC should not be brushed off as just another tournament controversy. A historic disgrace.

“I cried because I grew up with my grandparents and they could not be there. They passed away. My mum could not be here either for a Visa issue, and the money we had to pay for it. We did not manage to do this in time”

They've destroyed so much of the place they had to put up a picture of the Whitehouse in front of the Whitehouse like some Coyote and Roadrunner visual gag.

There’s something so inherently wrong with a society that can’t go 45 minutes without an ad.
🚨The 4th referee had to wait for FIFA’s broadcast team to signal the restart of USA vs. Paraguay which was delayed by commercials

One thing the world cup has done is shown people across the world how logically flawed punitive immigration laws actually are in a globalised economy

Maybe I’m just falling for propaganda but the world cup stuff does give me a glimmer of hope that internationalism is the truly natural state of human beings

This is the America I know and live in. The world needs to see more of this. Not our dysfunctional government that does not represent our hearts.

A reminder that Flo Balogun would not be on the US Men's National Team if Trump's birthright citizenship order was in place when he was born in NY. The first US man to score more than one goal in a World Cup match since the very first World Cup in 1930.

- 745k are homeless in the US
- medical bills are the #1 cause of bankruptcy
- over 60% of Americans live paycheck to paycheck
- bottom 80% of Americans have just 7% of the wealth
Yet this criminal is now a trillionaire. We’re a failed country.

It is a moral failure of our country that we changed the rules to create a trillionaire while doing nothing about the 771,000 homeless and over 18 million who do not have enough to eat.

The whole nonchalant gimmick worked out so well for the US at the World Baseball Classic, glad to see the USMNT is adopting it
“For me personally, it’s not like all that much is changing. It’s just another big tournament, to be honest.”
USMNT star Christian Pulisic is on latest edition of GQ magazine.
He knows people are excited about the World Cup, but he’s relaxed about it.
“I get texts from my family and close friends—they're definitely all excited about it, for sure,” Pulisic said.
“I mean, I feel like I’m constantly playing in big games. For me personally, it’s not like all that much is changing. It’s just another big tournament, to be honest.
“A lot of people are trying to make it even more than it is. I get it, it’s a huge tournament [shrugs].
“I’m looking forward to it.”
Let’s see if this relaxed attitude can ease pressure off of Pulisic and help him shine in the World Cup.

ITV News and the BBC referred to Omar Artan as a “Somali refugee” and “Somalia’s top refugee” instead of correctly identifying him as a professional referee.
They’re shamelessly pushing a narrative about a man who was travelling for work
