Jen Pawol Will Become the First Female MLB Umpire This Weekend
Jen Pawol Will Become the First Female MLB Umpire This Weekend
A significant moment for Major League Baseball will come this weekend when Jen Pawol is called up: AP Exclusive: MLB is promoting Jen Pawol to be the league's first female umpire. https://t.co/sgczohqej0— The Associated Press (@AP) August 6, 2025 Jen Pawol gets the call! This weekend, the Minor League ump will become the first woman to umpire in a regular season MLB game: https://t.co/XyJv3Fx1Kf pic.twitter.com/5mLakGdHH7— Minor League Baseball (@MiLB) August 6, 2025 Pawol, 48, has been umpiring in the minor leagues since 2016, working her way up to Triple-A. She’ll be a base umpire during the Marlins-Braves double-header on Saturday. “This historic accomplishment in baseball is a reflection of Jen’s hard work, dedication and love of the game,” baseball Commissioner Rob Manfred said in a statement to the AP. “She has earned this opportunity, and we are proud of the strong example she has set, particularly for all the women and young girls who aspire to roles on the field.” A very cool moment for the sport overall, and for girls and women who hope to get their foot in the door if their skills are commensurate with that of boys and men who’d already long had a shot.

Zia, an Afghan interpreter who risked his life to help U.S. troops, is being detained by ICE in Massachusetts.
He's been living in the U.S. LEGALLY for fear of retribution if he returns to Afghanistan.
Targeting Zia and other Afghan allies is dangerous and wrong.

I got two tickets to the Rilo Kiley show at Red Rocks tomorrow before they announced their NYC shows and I would be happy to find them a good home for super cheap with someone who lives in Colorado. I can't use them on account of not being in Colorado!

7/ You may not think this case matters to you. But Abrego Garcia was legally in the U.S., just like all the rest of us. His status as an immigrant doesn't matter as a matter of law.
If Trump can lock up or remove ANYONE - no matter what the courts say - we are all at grave risk.
