The Toronto sports host likened the Azzurri's pedigree and playoff heartbreaks to the Leafs' Stanley Cup drought since 1967, but fans fired back with Italy's haul of two World Cups (1982, 2006) and two Euros (1968, 2020) since then.

Qadi (@Bigqadi) shared a meme questioning opposition to universal healthcare, arguing it stems from white people denying Black access, amid stats showing 27 million uninsured Americans—hitting Hispanics at 18-24% and Blacks at 10-12%, versus 6-8% for non-Hispanic whites.

While polls show 66% favor government ensuring coverage and 60-65% back Medicare for All, support splits sharply by party (90% Democrats, 26% Republicans), reflecting deep divides as costs burden nearly half of adults.
