I thought we were supposed to keep politics out of sport? Now we are just giving out fake peace awards? FIFA is the worst. God this is disgusting. Especially as we rip apart families here in the US. Why does the game I love have such a corrupt and awful governing body? #FIFAsucks

I stayed at a @Staybridge in Pittsburgh area last week to find the hotel had unregulated gaming machines in the lobby. As an @IHGOneRewards member…this was infuriating. Can we do better, please? I wonder how @IHGCorporate feels about this?

Truly honored & humbled to be recognized by @CityAndStatePA as one of their 2025 "40 In Their Forties" honorees. It’s a privilege to be on this list with so many outstanding leaders making an impact across Pennsylvania. Congrats to my fellow honorees https://t.co/fSrCiHREZG

Good luck! Ironically, I am sitting at PHL with my 13 yr old taking a redeye to London for him to play w/ @NCESoccer in games against some academy teams in London this week! In a few years @ucwv_msoccer we will swing by Charleston for his official recruiting trip. 🦅 #proudalum
Here is the travelling party for our preseason tour of the UK. Our first test comes tomorrow afternoon at Finch Farm, the home of Everton Football Club. Games against Burnley FC and Tottenham Hotspur follow later this week. #WingsUp 🦅🏴

This is wild. The lengths they go just at mere suggestion that they be regulated and taxed. https://t.co/tZqbXKwBqR

The skill game industry has operated by its own rules in Pennsylvania for more than a decade, as lawmakers have failed to agree how to regulate and tax the machines now found in gas stations and bars.

This is why ALL gaming should be subject to the same regulatory standards. Imagine an entire gaming product and scheme with zero regulation, checks, or balances to ensure fairness and root out bad actors. 👀 I mean…thats crazy, right? Right? 🤷♂️
A single pitch linked to a major gambling scandal is as old as the Chicago Black Sox throwing the 1919 World Series for cash. In Game 1, Sox pitcher Eddie Cicotte hit the first Reds batter with a pitch, a signal requested by gambler Arnold Rothstein that the fix was on.

Who would have thought that “Canadian Bacon” would become a documentary. 🤦♂️

Actually if we analyze this as a WWE storyline, the US would be the heel, no? We started the bullying about 51st state nonsense & trolling Canada. Canada is actually the face. And sure its good for Marsh, just like being this blind is good for Lalas. Its a role for all involved.
Jesse Marsch is smart, articulate, and confident. I disagree with his depiction of America, but I love that he’s leaned into the heel role as the American coaching Canada. This stokes the rivalry and is music to Canadian ears (and his employer)…which is the point. Well played.

Forget anything else…this game is why I will never want Canada as a state! #USA #Crysby #MakeHockeyAmericanAgain low key tho … Canadian National Anthem 1/2 in French 1/2 in English is peek sports for me. I got to see it live when we went to a Habs game years ago.

My daughter’s dance studio shares a parking lot now with a skill parlor and a vape shop. Classy. The new commercial standard in our communities, I suppose. I am so angry.

Its funny…the criticisms of the #SuperBowl halftime show that I see the most is that it wasnt DEI enough. #HereForIt #Top5HalftimeShow

Let’s solve more problems together, starting with regulating skill games. Because if we want Pennsylvania to continue to compete and win, we have to take some of the money that goes into those slots and put it in our state coffers. Let’s treat skill games just like any other

Although the devil is in the details…it is refreshing to hear @GovernorShapiro call out skill gaming in his budget address. You all know how I feel…so its good to see Shapiro plant a flag in the ground that recognizes the dire need to regulate and tax these machines.

Wait, what now?
Four Pennsylvania Democratic state lawmakers said they received the below email from the "White Civil Advocacy Project" asking if they will "serve the needs and interests of your White constituents." The group says it will be cataloging and publishing the responses.

Huge THANK YOU to @RepDeasy for his support of Green Tree Park renovation that is home to the @PointParkSports baseball team. Funds are made possible by local casino gaming revenue & managed by Allegheny County w/approval by the state’s Commonwealth Financing Authority. #LSA
Bringing money back to the district for local projects is one of the most important functions I have as your state representative. Information on the latest round of state dollars coming to the 27th District can be found here: https://t.co/BnYUtVwm3e
