🚨NEW: Hakeem Jeffries declared his opposition to Medicare For All 72 hours after a Yale study shows it would save 100,000 lives & $1 trillion. Context: Jeffries raked in $391k from health PACs in 2026 & faced no primary pressure to hold the line on Dem priorities because a primary was blocked.

Those of you eager to serve wealthy MLB owners as volunteer Pinkertons won’t like to read this, but as usual Joe Sheehan nails the real problem:
Joe Sheehan: This trade is a microcosm of the real problem MLB has faced for decades. It’s not about haves and have-nots, but wants and want-nots. The Dodgers, and teams like them, want to win more than teams like the Tigers do, so they go out and acquire the Tigers’ best pitcher. MLB has built an entire labor strategy and media campaign around demonizing the Dodgers, when in fact it’s the Tigers who are wrecking baseball. You have to be through the looking glass to think the sport’s problem is the team that’s trying to win rather than the team that’s trading Tarik Skubal while sitting 2 1/2 games out of a playoff spot.

Compare this to MLS which feels like it's pushing its promo campaign more than the soccer itself. One reason for that is it wants to market MLS only. While the J.League, with its national pyramid, can say go to your local team, MLS wants you to spend money on MLS only, not other local leagues.

MLS has, and has always had, two problems: 1. No team has meaningfully grown outside of their expansion period or new stadium opening 2. Their games lack stakes No marketing team in New York is going to make a dent during the World Cup and it's silly to pretend the right commercials would matter.

Thomas Paine is my favorite founding father. He was famously abolitionist and one of the earliest voices to point out the hypocrisy of fighting for independence while keeping slaves. He also firmly believed that keeping any friendship which required compromising your morals made you a bad person.

Imagine if MLS weren't a deliberately terrible product that deliberately makes itself hard to find and deliberately shuts out millions of prospective fans from being able to make the top flight, all while owners underpay labor and hoard the 5th-most annual revenue of any soccer league in the world

Just like the Knicks winning the NBA title isn't about James Dolan, this USMNT run isn't about the shitty government that's trying to co-opt it. They can't take this team from the people.

Earlier, in a discussion RE: I'm a #Knicks fan versus a bandwagoner (the latter, basketball was just never really my sport), it occurred to me that I put the USA national soccer teams in the same fandom top tier as the #Mets & #Islanders To say I'm excited for tonight is an understatement #USMNT

Rex Heuermann-Gilgo Beach Killer-is pleading guilty to the murder of 7 women 15 yrs after the 1st body was found. He likely killed more. He was allowed to go on killing bec violence against sex workers is seen as their fault. I wrote abt it in @teenvogue.com in 2023 www.teenvogue.com/story/gilgo-...
