Welcome to the World Cup—Please Show Your Papers

The U.S., Canada, and Mexico are about to host the largest FIFA World Cup in history—millions of fans, billions in revenue, and the world watching. And what did Vice President J.D. Vance say? “Of course everyone is welcome… But when the time is up, we want them to go home; otherwise, they will have to talk to Secretary Noem.” That’s not diplomacy. That’s a thinly veiled threat. We’re hosting THE WORLD —and our second-in-command is already barking orders like it’s a detention center, not a celebration. Meanwhile: • Trump “doesn’t know” if the Constitution applies to him. • Vance is channeling 1984 in public statements. • And the Cabinet looks like people who think checks and balances are optional—like pants on Zoom. Congress is pushing donor-written laws. ICE is roaming schools, hospitals, and churches. And public service? It’s become self-service—with loyalty oaths and press briefings that sound like Saturday Night Live routines.(Honestly most people can’t tell the difference.) This administration has treated democracy like a tool to pry open more power. They don’t understand the law, and they clearly don’t care how we look on the world stage. So fix it. Speak out. Stand up. Make it clear: America welcomes guests with dignity—not suspicion and threats. Are we great yet or just embarrassed?
