Congrats Alex! Vamos! 🇵🇭
Alex Eala has stunned former Miami champion Iga Swiatek 6-2, 7-5 to make the Semifinals of a 1000 for the first time.

An absolutely stunning upset, Iga came in a 95% favorite in the odds, but falls in the Quarters here.

Now it makes sense why Trump didn’t put his hand on the bible. He didn’t plan to keep his oath. He meant to destroy it.

Trump is hinting that may be a recession in America but he is downplaying it as if it’s not going to affect the lives of regular people. But people don’t know how long it will happen. Crazy.

Is this true? Duterte is stuck in Dubai? @rappler.bsky.social
President #Duterte from the Philippines on his way to The Hague, but stuck in #Dubai. Flight to Rotterdam-The Hague airport postponed. Little chance of a conviction, says the lawyer of several of his African mates held by the ICC. #Duterte is not of the same material as #Netanyahu or #Putin
