Honest question for people who don't link to the source of info they are describing on social media -- why not?

And what was that first DC poll about? What do you think? I can't believe here we are 80 years later

Good teams have bad games where nothing works. Five days ago, Belgium was losing 2-0 to Senegal in the 86th minute before coming back to win. U.S. GK Matt Freese probably hasn't stubbed his foot trying to kick a ball since high school. Decent run with 3 solid wins, good luck to U.S. women in 2027!

"Trump’s role transformed what might have been a narrow disciplinary dispute into something larger: a politically charged test of FIFA’s independence, with the Americans’ World Cup path hanging in the balance." Rick Maese & @ddiamond.bsky.social nail it -> wapo.st/3QZfAPR

As U.S. men's national team coach Mauricio Pochettino tries to impart his aggressive, high-energy style on to the squad, he is in many ways relying on the kind of soccer he learned as a boy in Murphy, Argentina.

What's behind Janeese Lewis George's strong performance Tuesday night in the D.C. mayoral race? Our Washington Post-Schar School poll earlier this month showed liberal voters uniting behind JLG, while her attacks on Kenyan McDuffie's character appear to have landed. ->
