It's extraordinarily rare for a political event to break through to such a widespread degree as this. Dems should seize on it! This is resonating big time in exactly the info spaces that Dems struggle to reach, as I try to argue in this piece:
This is incredible: 81% of working class and 83% of young voters have seen video of Renee Good's killing, per new data I've obtained. Majority of working class disapproves of ICE enforcement. ICE brutality is breaking through big time.

I just don’t really know what you do about having a genuine psychopath as President man.
Trump doubles down on his Rob Reiner attack: "I wasn't a fan of his at all. He was a deranged person... He became like a deranged person, Trump Derangement Syndrome. So I was not a fan of Rob Reiner at all in any way, shape or form. I thought he was very bad for our country."

Let’s give Michelle Kang massive credit here. This contract offer and associated fight is her declaring war on her fellow owners and trying to drag them kicking and screaming into the future. None of this happens without her ambition and bravery.

This thread on tracking the $ in #NWSL is illuminating.
I finally tracked down a pair of datasets and put them together. This is Deloitte’s 2025 valuation of the wealthiest clubs in Europe, and Forbes’s 2025 valuation of NWSL.
Kansas City Current’s estimated annual revenue is bigger than Barcelona & Chelsea combined.

Agreed. We also need more pundits who are excited about international players. We’re an international team and I love that about us. Media love is really only there for homegrown players, though, with few exceptions. It’s easier for them to skip the work on building that knowledge base.

Yes. I’ve been gritting my teeth for a week since the entire punditry class is bff’s with those players. It was too much.
