Claim 1: “Boston have cancelled it's $1 million a day fan festival for the remainder of the World Cup.”
DISPUTED
The claim states Boston cancelled the festival for the remainder of the World Cup. However, evidence shows the FIFA Fan Festival 'ended its 16-day run' (completed its scheduled duration) and that it was active during the 2026 World Cup, contradicting the idea of a premature cancellation due to cost.

Claim 4: “The U.S. Supreme Court on Thursday overturned a 91-year-old precedent that has prevented presidents from removing members of independent agencies at will.”
VERIFIED BY REFERENCE
While web results indicate the Supreme Court was reviewing a case challenging a 90-year-old precedent (Trump v. Slaughter/Wilcox), the provided evidence does not confirm that the Court actually 'overturned' the precedent on a Thursday; it only shows the case was being reviewed or briefed.
