The Spirit Squadron’s statement on the ongoing negotiations regarding Trinity Rodman’s contract and the salary cap.
We are disappointed by the NWSL’s decision to veto the contract between Washington Spirit and Trinity Rodman, and we stand with the NWSLPA in opposition to the “HIP” rule. Such a rule will create two tiers of players: those who are considered “high impact” and those who are not, based on nebulous criteria. It will also allow the league to continue to interfere in negotiations between the players and the teams. Instead, we urge the league to adopt the NWSLPA’s proposal to raise the salary cap. Commissioner Berman has stated the league will “fight for” Trinity, but its actions demonstrate otherwise. The league’s actions so far undermine free agency, and they will suppress wages and harm the league’s growth. This is greater than one player and one team. Current and former NWSL players fought for years for adequate pay and the right to decide where they play. We will not go back.

Per NY Times’s Michael Grynbaum on X, this is Sharyn Alfonsi’s email to her “60 Minutes” colleagues in full:
News Team, Thank you for the notes and texts. I apologize for not reaching out earlier. I learned on Saturday that Bari Weiss spiked our story, INSIDE CECOT, which was supposed to air tonight. We (Ori and I) asked for a call to discuss her decision. She did not afford us that courtesy/opportunity. Our story was screened five times and cleared by both CBS attorneys and Standards and Practices. It is factually correct. In my view, pulling it now-after every rigorous internal check has been met is not an editorial decision, it is a political one. We requested responses to questions and/or interviews with DHS, the White House, and the State Department. Government silence is a statement, not a VETO. Their refusal to be interviewed is a tactical maneuver designed to kill the story. If the administration's refusal to participate becomes a valid reason to spike a story, we have effectively handed them a "kill switch" for any reporting they find inconvenient. If the standard for airing a story becomes "the government must agree to be interviewed," then the government effectively gains control over the 60 Minutes broadcast. We go from an investigative powerhouse to a stenographer for the state. These men risked their lives to speak with us. We have a moral and professional obligation to the sources who entrusted us with their stories. Abandoning them now is a betrayal of the most basic tenet of journalism: giving voice to the voiceless. CBS spiked the Jeffrey Wigand interview due to legal concerns, nearly destroying the credibility of this broadcast. It took years to recover from that "low point." By pulling this story to shield an administration, we are repeating that history, but for political optics rather than legal ones. We have been promoting this story on social media for days. Our viewers are expecting it. When it fails to air without a credible explanation, the public will correctly identify this as corporate censorship. We are trading 50 years of "Gold Standard" reputation for a single week of political quiet. I care too much about this broadcast to watch it be dismantled without a fight. Sharyn

Yes to this!

It's a no-brainer for Democrats to run by fostering a reaction against the shocking corruption of the Trump years, the degradation of our political system, and the mounting inequality that has come to define our American life.

Not a Disney fan but you know who would have a more interesting backstory than Gaston the obnoxious Frenchman? Dr. Facilier and how he became so Machiavellian after years of constantly being exploited and undervalued by Jim Crow-era New Orleans.

NWSL said it would fight for Trinity Rodman. It’s only fighting with itself
One way or the other, the league will set a precedent with Rodman. The NWSL has the power to choose what that looks like.

That Oliver Stone made a movie lionizing Jim Garrison's ludicrous prosecution of an innocent man (Clay Shaw) is one of the most egregious historical transmogrifications in cinema. Imagine in 20 yrs a Stephen Miller hagiography starring Chalamet, that's the artistic crime level we're talking.

We do know who killed JFK. The Warren Commission was an incredibly thorough and good-faith effort to prove and document what had happened, which they did. The conspiracy theories arose in spite of best efforts to avoid them, but there really isn't anything they could have reasonably done better.

My first political memory - exactly 62 years ago right now, a 4-year-old boy trying to understand his mom's tears - is still the biggest event in my lifetime. We still (IMO) don't *really* know who killed JFK, but we know the public's trust was shattered. It's a straight line to today's mess
