State statutes permitting early voting are dependent on the specific definition of "election." Four Virginia Supreme Court justices absolutely decided to engage in partisan hackery in a way I've never seen before in the Commonwealth.

I really love this plaintextsports.com

The Cleveland Browns org has done some surprisingly good things. The team's owners are also responsible for trading for Deshaun Watson and signing him to the richest contract in NFL history despite 22 different women accusing him of sexual assault. And now they're NWSL owners.

The way my kids are public transit obsessed.

Pros like Brianna Turner have made it abundantly clear what women athletes need — attacking and excluding trans and intersex athletes isn't on the list.

Don't get me wrong: I'm relieved that this case is shaping up as either 8-1 or 7-2 against the Trump executive order. But the case is a gift to the Supreme Court. By rejecting an outlandish position, it will earn credibility as apolitical, even as the Overton window moves far to the right.

Happy International Transgender Day of Visibility!

After 531 days, major knee surgery, and becoming a mom, Andi Sullivan is back in uniform for the Spirit.

Kansas is sending letters to trans people telling them that their licenses will be revoked as of tomorrow and that they risk arrest for driving on a suspended license. This is pure cruelty. www.erininthemorning.com/p/kansas-sen...

Some things are always true.

Happy National Girls & Women in Sports Day ✨ Today is about celebrating all the women & girls who inspire us in sports—including trans & non-binary athletes. For those who paved the way and those that will follow, we continue the fight for inclusivity and community in sports 💛

Seven years ago yesterday, this ad ran during the Super Bowl.

The EEOC, which protects workers from sex-based discrimination and sexual harassment, just hired a guy who was suspended by his college over a rape accusation and then sued the university alleging it had violated his gender rights theintercept.com/2026/02/04/e...

the Epstein files make it very clear why the MeToo backlash was so extreme and why so much of elite society preferred Donald Trump ruling us like a king to the barest hint of accountability

Who judges are and whether they’ll uphold the Constitution matters SO much. They must be confirmed by the Senate. And it’s our job to make sure our senators do theirs by only confirming qualified judges.

Imagine what’s happening in the camps.

You have to read this. Firsthand affidavit from one of the women who was there and recording the video. She talks about how Alex Pretti was directing traffic when she arrived. She watched him be killed in front of her. She's afraid to go home, worried she'll be arrested.

This would be a great time for the USWNT players to pick up the mantle of Pinoe and Becky and Press and start some form of protest again. An arm band, a kneel, anything. Defend the country you represent.

ICE is now responsible for 66% of the homicides in Minneapolis this year.

Editorial in the National Catholic Reporter: "The vice president's comments justifying the death of Renee Good are a moral stain on the collective witness of our Catholic faith. His repeated attempts to blame Good for her own death are fundamentally incompatible with the Gospel."

So, if you’re an NWSL GM, you are not allowed to decide yourself — using all of the tools of a pro team’s front office — that a Player has a High-enough Impact to warrant a certain salary. But you *are* allowed to vote on a list that would determine that that Player has a High-enough Impact. Sure.

Per NY Times’s Michael Grynbaum on X, this is Sharyn Alfonsi’s email to her “60 Minutes” colleagues in full:

Update. I asked nicely for her to raise the salary cap. I said please and everything. And smiled. So.

I hope Berman is sitting in front of me again today at the game. We could get a little “raise the cap” and “pay the players” chant going.

ofc i’m team no cap but the thing that infuriates me is that even a bump to $5m, 7 or 10 would be enough. like ok if you’re worried about parity because you know you still have broke bois, they can handle $10m. keeping it below $4m, in this era, is telling many of your best players to leave.

you could fact check this — there aren’t 30 million illegal immigrants and there is no evidence that the presence of an immigrant in say houston has any impact on housing in madison, wisconsin — or you could note straightforwardly that this is just nazi rhetoric

No Kings includes Angus

My family has been without half our income for 40 days. It has been.. very hard. We are willing to feel that pain so people can have health care next year, or to undo these illegal recissions. We are not willing to have been put through this for NOTHING.

Every day I move closer to having Miss Stacy hair.

Last night, we went to the USDA building to send a big message to Trump: Half isn't good enough—FULLY fund SNAP. Trump has the power to stop this but chooses politics over people. One in eight families rely on SNAP, and half funding means hunger. Don't starve families so you can play politics.

Hey USDA and Pres. Trump: women and families are tired of your political games. Half the funding for SNAP means many families will still be going hungry. It means moms will still skip meals so their children have something to eat. Enough.

A story indistinguishable from those depicted/dramatized in all the WWII / Holocaust movies and plays and novels we grew up with

It's clear: Trump thinks Black women don't deserve power, and and that the government is simply a tool to punish anyone who tries to hold him accountable. Trump is an authoritarian who wants to jail his enemies so he can make himself and his friends richer—and he's endangering our democracy.

I said a LOT about Joss Whedon. Maybe not enough?

Everyone here has an interest in pretending it’s not happening, because otherwise they’ll have to disrupt their lives. Of course, they have an even stronger interest in seeing the situation accurately, but they’re taking the path of least resistance until they can’t.

As usual with this issue, Harris is calling for a compromise that already exists. Every sporting body has standards for how long athletes must be on hormones before they can compete as women. The problem isn’t that we’re ignoring ‘reasonable concerns,’ the problem is that republicans are lying.

This made me do a double take.

I just can’t say this more clearly: if you’re not at Audi when the Spirit play, you’ve made a mistake.

Everyone deserves access to emergency medical care—period. That includes abortion care. We’re taking legal action to protect emergency abortion access under EMTALA, a federal law that guarantees patients get the care they need when their lives are on the line.

Today, we’re intentionally moving away from the bigotry and hatred that some Republican members of Congress were spewing yesterday. Instead, we’re focusing on this beautiful story by a member of our staff on why it’s important for her daughters—cis and trans—to play sports. nwlc.org/hey-marjorie...

Yesterday, I testified in front of Congress in a so-called "hearing" that was ultimately just a political stunt. But I went to defend trans athletes, because it's crucial that orgs like @nwlc.org continue to vigorously defend trans rights—in sports, at school, at work, and in all parts of society.

Today, Marjorie Taylor Greene’s DOGE subcommittee is wasting time and resources to hold an illegitimate and hate-filled hearing targeting trans athletes. It’s nothing more than a political stunt meant to reinforce harmful stereotypes.

We should understand this for what it is: an effort to build public consent for the president to ignore the Supreme Court. abcnews.go.com/Politics/jus...

In 2023, working moms were paid just 74 cents for every dollar dads were paid. That lost $19K each year could have paid for more than six months of groceries, six months of child care, and five months of rent. #MomsEqualPayDay nwlc.org/resource/equ...
