RE: Holy smokes! If our poll is accurate, things are looking bad for the U.S. games in next year's World Cup, the Olympics 2028, and tourism in general. Of the respondents, 14% said the news that U.S. Customs might require tourists to provide DNA and social media details would make them reconsider traveling to the country. 84% were already not even thinking about going to the U.S. And the 2% of respondents who chose the "something else" option were Americans who are advising friends from other countries not to visit, and folks who have close family living in the USA who can't themselves travel. "I live here but would not travel someplace with this requirement," said [@tallastro]( ). View quoted note β†’
U.S. Customs and Border Protection could soon demand tourists' DNA, in response to an Executive Order by Donald Trump for visitors to be "vetted and screened to the maximum degree possible." The new proposal also requires applicants who enter on ESTAs to provide social media details, names, dates and places of birth of close family members, and more. There are 42 ESTA countries including the U.K., France, Australia and South Korea. Here's more from [@Independent]( ). We want to know: If you don't live there, has this new proposal affected your desire to visit the U.S.? #Travel #Tourism #Lifestyle #USGovernment #TrumpAdministration #Immigration
Yikes! Political journalist Olivia Nuzzi's memoir, "American Canto," is a massive flop so far. It was savaged in reviews and according to NPDBookScan, has sold 1,164 hardcover copies in its first week on shelves. A book industry insider told [@politico]( ) it was a β€œpublishing debacle of epic proportions" and said the expectation would have been sales of at least 5,000 in the first week. https://flip.it/KZt2Hu #Books #Bookstodon #OliviaNuzzi #Culture #RFKJr
