If the Dems who win in the 2026 midterms get squeamish about prosecuting this administration, we'll need to elect a bunch of new people running on Nuremberg shit for 2028. This isn't a joke. It's the law. It's justice. Biden let Trump back in the WH and this happened because Joe didn't do his job

She expects people to just “discover” the NWSL off the coattails of the men’s tournament but I think lots of people will get into NWSL because of feeling disillusioned by FIFA’s greed and wanting a much more community-centered way of watching footy.
Also the post-World Cup boost will not be for the reasons she probably expects
Usually it means someone gets screwed in the process, and in this case, it is the players subject to this arbitrary criteria!
