What everyone is getting wrong about âwokeâ | Will Bunch Newsletter (opens the original)
Read excerpt
In 1964, I was a) only 5 years old and b) living in the New York suburbs, so while Iâve been hearing all my life about the notorious collapse of the Phillies that September, I didnât get to experience that feeling of existential dread in real time. But I was almost there last week, as the 2026 Phillies nearly became the first team to blow a four-game playoff lead with five games to play. Almost. Sundayâs 7-3 win over Tampa Bay sent my beloved/cursed midlife baseball team back to the playof

Too many law enforcement agencies in Schu

Some days itâs hard to know whatâs worse for America: the wars Donald Trump is losing â most notably in Iran, as U.S. motorists pay painful reparations at the gas pump â or the ones heâs winning, like his onslaught against a free press. This February will mark 10 years since the president first declared that journalists are âthe enemy of the people,â and he has spent much of the last decade making good on his threat â in constant lawsuits, in wielding federal licensing power like
