English people are funny. It was very wrong for the UAE to plough a billion dollars into Man City. None of the other billionaire team owners could keep up! But thanks for the other money you put into Manchester. And please please please give Oxford and Cambridge lots more money!

The Guardian: Israel 0-3 Ireland The second half barely mattered, the game itself was a sideline to far wider issues in itself, and there are no handshakes between the teams at the final whistle. Both of them stay apart, the Irish exchanging high-fives, the Israelis showing their disappointment.

This is completely depraved. Robert Krafts abound.

Hearing from several sources around Ireland hotel that agents are telling players you must play our you'll never play for a US owned team in the UK.

How grim and predictable from faceless agents who profit in the background.

Sen. Susan Collins helped steer millions in federal defense contracts to Navatek, whose CEO illegally funneled thousands of dollars to her campaign. The FBI sought to launch a probe and was eyeing Collins and other lawmakers. Then Trump gutted the unit in charge. THREAD 🧵

This seems like a pretty big deal: donors made illegal contributions to Susan Collins and then were awarded lucrative contracts after her office intervened with the Navy. An FBI investigation was dropped under Trump. www.propublica.org/article/fbi-...

To skirt campaign finance laws and conceal the source of the funds, Navatek planned to funnel the donation through a shell company. The CEO wanted assurance that Collins would know where
the money came from. Reed confirmed that she would, the executive said - and that Navatek would get its government contracts.
After the Corner Bakery meeting, Navatek's CEO, Martin Kao, sent an initial $150,000 to the Collins super PAC using the shell company. Two months later, he told Navatek executives that Collins committed to getting the company $32 million in naval contracts, according to an internal company email reviewed by ProPublica.
