Surprised you weren’t wearing an Iran jersey, senator.

Lots of people out in Tucson to watch Mexico take on England. Tucson and La Rosa sure know how to do the World Cup!

Kelly has not posted himself from this account in an American jersey for any game of the World Cup so far. Just Mexico.

What do we think about US politicians putting on jerseys from another country — in a tournament the US is playing in — and rooting for the foreign country in public? Zero percent chance any American sports fans I know would do this.

Politician in Mexico? Nope - Sen. Mark Kelly (D) of Arizona, rooting for Team Mexico.

I’m shocked that people like Clay Travis have actual followers who believe what they say. These people just make shit up on a daily basis.

Sources: President Trump, commerce secretary Howard Lutnick, and White House task force head Andrew Giuliani put together a team of elite lawyers — from outside the government — to challenge the Flo Balogun red card. Specifically they challenged the use of slow motion instant replay to give the red card, which they argued violated FIFA rules. The president also conveyed to Gianni Infantino, FIFA’s president, that the appeal had been filed and he believed the red card penalty was excessive. FIFA’s independent committee reviewed the decision and agreed the penalty was incorrectly given, rescinding it under their rule 27 authority.

The @nytimes also reported what I did, just six hours later. Is there no honesty in the Big J journalist community? This time with two “journalists.” For shame, for shame. nytimes.com/2026/07/05/us/tr…

Trump Asked FIFA to Review U.S. Player’s Suspension. Now He’s Eligible to Play.

The reversal of Folarin Balogun’s World Cup suspension is highly unusual. It was the first time since 1962 that FIFA has nullified a suspension for a red card received during the World Cup.

So eight hours after my tweet below @wsj has a three person bylined article that just reiterates everything I said in my Tweet. But makes no mention of my Tweet. I expected more honesty from the Big J journalist community. Sad. wsj.com/sports/soccer/white-…

Inside the White House Campaign to Overturn a World Cup Red Card

The decision by FIFA to rescind U.S. striker Folarin Balogun’s one-game suspension followed a rapid response from the Trump administration—and a personal call from the president.

“House of the Dragon” has significantly improved so far in season three through three episodes. My only criticism is the number of ancillary characters that can make some plot lines feel strained and difficult to follow. (Back to England-Mexico.)

Awesome time at Mt. Rushmore. Perfect place to celebrate America 250. Great discussion with @seanhannity on American exceptionalism, makers vs takers and meritocracy in sports— while rocking my US soccer jersey!

Huge win for US soccer fans as Balogun will now play tomorrow against Belgium after FIFA rectified its errant red card ruling.
