Washington Spirit defender Tara McKeown has excelled at the rare transition from forward to center back. Now, she's becoming something else entirely.

The second evolution of Tara McKeown
You can say it now as if it has always been: Tara McKeown is a center back. Of course she is, and a damn good one at that. She's been playing the position for years, never you mind how many. Tara McKeown is a center back. Not just any center back either, her prowess at the position, which includes specialized 1v1 defending, has also made her a frequent starter for the U.S.

UPDATE: ICE is wildly unconcerned about where this man is and no one will tell me, his registered attorney. The universal answer so far is "let's wait and see where he ends up." This is deeply off.

My detained client was scheduled for a bond hearing this AM in a MA immigration court. He wasn't brought in, and he and his case have disappeared.
I then received this notice of activity on a nonexistent docket in which his name was changed to "N/A"
It's all happening a lot faster than I expected

To quote Sam Seaborn, "I tell you what, let's forget the fact that you're coming a little late to the party and embrace the fact that you showed up at all."
Rand Paul: "The whole [tariffs] debate is so fundamentally backwards & upside down. It's based on a fallacy & the fallacy is this: that somehow in a trade, someone must lose. That somehow when you trade with someone, someone is taking advantage of you... I have a trade deficit with my grocery store"

When a person is abducted, there's a number to call to report & identify. A habeas petition challenging the abduction is electronically filed in that district, by a lawyer admitted in that district, within 30 minutes of the call. Anywhere in the country, 24 hours a day.
Nothing else is good enough.

in a weekend of terrible and insulting ideas, this one at least we know will fail horribly with very little impact.
So Jessica Berman at the SB Summitt just said @nwslsoccer.com is going to push the Unwell partnership with a “League Supporter Group” called “Unwell FC” where they have their own section + Alex Cooper leads the chants

The business crowd pointed to the economy as a justification for getting super Trumpy over the past several years. Meanwhile, the US market under Trump is currently underperforming the same point in the Biden presidency by over 20%.*

So teens are getting to vote for the first time... this month!
And there's a tremendous amount of energy to get students to turn out.
