According to Edsall, American politics was so much easier and less wedge issue when straight white men ran everything.
Larry Glickman@larryglickman.bsky.social · yesterdayFrom Tom Edsall’s column.

It’s so cool to elect republicans and use ballot initiatives to overturn all their policy
Stephen Wolf@stephenwolf.bsky.social · 18h agoMissouri Republicans have relentlessly tried to destroy ballot initiatives after voters used them to protect abortion rights, legalize weed, raise the minimum wage, and reform redistricting. They are currently sabotaging a veto referendum that should have suspended the GOP's new House gerrymander

the player Bruno allows us to do without is more Odegaard than anyone else. he is more of an 8/10, his progressive passing and pressing profile matches Odegaard. Expect to see Rice, Bruno, Zubimendi/Merino/Havertz midfields in big games.

genuinely can't believe Chelsea keep trying to get rid of this guy. was a little concerned he would go to Villa.
