Could not have been more excited about having another World Cup here, and FIFA is dead set on ruining it.
We @theathleticfc.bsky.social have now published the full list of updated 2026 World Cup ticket prices here:

That’s exactly what everybody wants, the ability to “negotiate” your health insurance when you need chemo.
Trump: "I want the money to go into an account for people where they buy their own health insurance. It's so good. The insurance will be better. It'll cost less. Everybody is gonna be happy. They're gonna feel like entrepreneurs. They're actually able to go out & negotiate their own insurance"
