This is Trump pretending like he doesn't hear and doesn't care when he obviously does. You can tell by the jaw thing, as well as his overall vibe.
Adam Schwarz@adamjschwarz.bsky.social · 2w agoTrump and Infantino are loudly jeered as they walk out to present the World Cup trophy.
They made the big one for Trump to take home, right?
Dan Diamond@ddiamond.bsky.social · 2w agoI could be wrong, but the FIFA Peace Prize seems larger than many of the actual FIFA awards being handed out today?
What the fuck is Trump doing up there? He didn’t win the World Cup and the Spanish players obviously didn’t want to take a photo with him. Sad and pathetic!!!
Appreciate the use of Spain “defeats,” not “defeat.” We fought a revolution to overcome that British collective singular!

there are few good uses for AI but one is definitely extracting his rotting husk from every world cup photo
Congratulations to Spain on its victory over Argentina. Millions of people around the world are celebrating, especially in Latin America and Spain, the new winners of the 2026 World Cup.
My latest-- Christians United for Israel, the largest Zionist group in the US, just held its annual conference in DC. An interfaith coalition led by Christians for a Free Palestine & @rabbis4ceasefire.bsky.social took the streets to demand faith beyond Empire religiondispatches.org/2026/07/16/r...

I assume the official FIFA and Spanish photos will take him out of the photo for it is a huge, global embarrassment for FIFA and an outrage to Spain who Trump has been crapping on and threatening for months. bsky.app/profile/ihav...

Many people are saying that they’ve secured Francis Ford Coppola to direct the sequel to The Odyssey. It’ll be about the Peloponnesian War and entitled “Acropolis Now.”
King Algamemnon@adamrothman.bsky.social · 2w agoI'm not posting Odyssey memes because one must be wary of GIFs bearing Greeks.
TBF, this is the highlight of his week. Way more fun hogging the stage in front of world champions than dealing with that pesky war.

"Come on, buddy, let the players have their moment." "But if I walk over there, I won't be on camera with them. The world will be sad if they can't see me, too. Five more minutes."

Trump, known as Jeffrey Epstein's best friend, was booed by 80,663 people at the 2026 World Cup Final between Spain and Argentina at MetLife Stadium in East Rutherford, New Jersey.
Thanedar has reported $3.9 million in investment losses this election cycle to date.
Just had to patch a bug on the @influence.citationneeded.news Michigan House District 13 election pages, stemming from Shri Thanedar reporting -$1.1 million in receipts. Why is Thanedar reporting negative receipts? He put $3.7 million of campaign funds into crypto. theintercept.com/2026/07/17/s...
Two-Thirds of Shri Thanedar's Campaign Cash Came Through AIPAC as He Lost Over $600K
Two-thirds of the Michigan congressman's campaign cash last quarter came from AIPAC bundlers after he invested millions in crypto.

Requirements for becoming a private school teacher vary by state. We recently reported on a woman who pled no contest to felony child abuse charges in Florida, but was still able to open a school. Here's how you can research private schools like an investigative reporter:

US First Lady Melania Trump was used as a human barrier to separate Canadian Prime Minister Mark Carney and Mexican President Claudia Sheinbaum from a Jeffrey Epstein associated convicted criminal and rapist, at the 2026 FIFA World Cup.
Here's something I post from time to time. My answer to a reader who asked me: what could journalists do NOW to break with some of their more corrosive habits.
They’re doing terrible, sir. Absolutely miserable.
IDK what happened to this woman's brain, but she didn't use to be this stupid.
Ted Lieu@tedlieu.bsky.social · 2w agoHard to believe, but maybe, just maybe, trump is lying, again.
(7/7) The administration is still likely to face the same legal and political headwinds that doomed earlier attempts. Moreover, election officials are calling out the strategic shift for what it is: "insulting" and "bizarre." And they’ve been clear they won't bend the knee. Read their responses:
Trump admin turns to threats, coercion after courts reject president’s assault on voting
Trump tried to shout and post his policy preferences into existence, then tried to sue them into existence, and now he’s trying to intimidate them into existence.

(6/7) SCOTUS AFTERMATH Following SCOTUS’ decision to expand presidential power over independent agencies, Trump fired all commissioners on the bipartisan Election Assistance Commission. The dismissals come after Trump has attempted to use the EAC to assert control over U.S. elections.
In sweeping attack on elections, Trump fires leadership of key federal voting assistance commission
The dismissals leave the elections assistance agency without leadership just months before the upcoming 2026 midterms.

(5/7) MEANWHILE, ON THE HILL Trump sycophants are yet again pushing to pass the SAVE America Act. The bill remains stalled in the Senate, but Trump has pressured Republicans to: ✔️Eliminate the filibuster ✔️Replace the Senate parliamentarian, who blocked it from advancing through a budget process
Johnson says House will pass stalled SAVE America Act ‘one more time’ after latest Trump demands
The announcement came a day after Trump used his Independence Day speech to again call for the voter suppression bill.

(4/7) COERCION FEMA is threatening to withhold 20% of funding until states prove compliance with new election security requirements set by Trump. This includes using a citizenship verification database that has wrongly flagged thousands of eligible voters as noncitizens.
FEMA threatens to withhold terrorism prevention funds unless states adopt Trump’s anti-voting agenda
The stakes are immediate and immense. States rely on this funding to prepare for real threats, including cyberattacks and emergency response failures.
