I was a poll worker yesterday. It reaffirmed my faith in America

This week’s election felt like the most divisive of my lifetime, but instead of doom-scrolling my way through it, I found a place where people still put politics aside.

What Elon Musk really wants

The Tesla CEO played a pivotal role in securing a second Trump presidency. Here’s where he stands on the issues.

The Falcons’ secret weapon is unleashing their running game.

If I were making a list of the most fun offenses to watch in the NFL right now, the Atlanta Falcons would be near the top of that list. Ever since the loss to the Steelers (sans a hiccup against Seattle), the Falcons have been an incredibly well-designed, well-functioning machine, placing ninth in EPA per play and Sixth in Offensive Success Rate.
