OUR REVOLUTION sent an email raising funds to Primary Senator Sinema.

Whatever you think of her, you’ll have a hard time convincing me that their preferred candidate would be competitive in a General Election.

(Also there’s the fact that she’s not up until 2024, but why spoil a good fundraising opportunity?)

NWSL Commissioner Baird resigns amid scandal

Source: AP News

National Women’s Soccer League Commissioner Lisa Baird resigned after some 19 months on the job amid allegations that a former coach engaged in sexual harassment and misconduct.

Baird’s resignation was announced by the league late Friday, a day after The Athletic published the accounts of two former players who claimed misconduct, including sexual coercion, by North Carolina coach Paul Riley.

Riley was fired by the Courage on Thursday and the allegations touched off a wave of condemnation by players that forced this weekend’s games to be called off.

Additionally, FIFA on Friday opened an investigation into the case. It is rare that soccer’s international governing body gets involved in a controversy involving a member association. U.S. Soccer also announced an independent investigation on Friday.
