## Resource

Former President Donald Trump allegedly intervened with FIFA in November 2022 to help Nigerian soccer star Folarin Balogun play in a World Cup match against Belgium — a bizarre twist of political power in international sports. Meanwhile, Maine’s Democratic Senate candidate Graham Platner is facing mounting pressure to drop out after a serious sexual assault allegation surfaced, forcing the campaign into a high-stakes reckoning. Both stories highlight the unpredictable intersections of politics, power, and public scrutiny. Listen in comfort: Get a discount on a Soli Pillow: http://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
