This quote stuck out for me from Andrew Giuliani: âThis is not going to be a slush fund that a leftist politician can use for whatever theyâd like,â said Giuliani, who discussed the reimbursement process in his meeting Tuesday with host committee executives. My interest in WC26 wanes each day.

Yes, a bonus for sure, but 1 point up over Chicago, with two matches in hand is not great.
Mark Fishkin (@markfishkin.bsky.social)
Ordinarily, holding Columbus to a scoreless draw would be a victory, but thatâs two points lost at home for #RBNY. Five matches left. May not be enough.

With O'Neill (apparently) taking over CDC (if they ever get around to firing Monarez), I think it's worth looking back to Project 2025 and asking what they actually intend to *do* to CDC. So, I went to remind myself today. Here's what's in store:

When asked about the support from the Front Office, Schwarz says he understands the question, especially without a 3rd DP or 4th U22 player. He adds a consideration the injuries to Morgan and Harper. He wants all to focus on the team as it stands, as Schwarz says they needs fan support. #RBNY
Mark Fishkin (@markfishkin.bsky.social) reply parent
Schwarz says Lewis Morgan continues to work individually but has not yet returned to training with the team. Calls the Portland match, after the international break, a question mark for Morgan given the playing surface. #RBNY
Mark Fishkin (@markfishkin.bsky.social) reply parent
Schwarz says he "so happy" that Julian Hall has been called up to the US U-17s. On Columbus: "Every knows how they are playing, especially with the ball. They're so connected. We have to be very aggressive against them." #RBNY
Mark Fishkin (@markfishkin.bsky.social) reply parent
Schwarz responds to a question about the team's road performance by saying his sole focus in on Columbus at home this Saturday. #RBNY
Mark Fishkin (@markfishkin.bsky.social) reply parent
Schwarz: "We are very satisfied with John McCarthy in our roster. His experience and is leadership. Buy Carlos Coronel is our number one goalkeeper." #RBNY

Schwarz: "Mosquera was last week on the bench. Gustav is no in our team training sessions. He's been in three team training sessions. We'll make a decision tomorrow. I'm unsure if he's a candidate for the starting lineup, but we'll discuss whether he's ready to be a substitute." #RBNY

Dr. Demetre, in his resignation from the CDC, said this: âI have never experienced such radical non-transparency, nor have I seen such unskilled manipulation of data to achieve a political end rather than the good of the American peopleâ. It is an outrage that RFK Jr. remains as head of HHS.
