If you haven't decided yet who to vote for, here's why I think you should vote for Harris.

[Barack Obama @BarackObama]

John McCain and I didn’t always agree, but he understood that some values transcended parties. He knew that if we got in the habit of bending the truth to suit political expediency or party orthodoxy, our democracy will not work.

John McCain had character. That’s what I think about so much these days because it’s so different from what we see out of the Republican nominee.

The Oakland A’s were killed by greed. Do not allow the people responsible for this to spin it any other way. John Fisher did not have to move this team. Major League Baseball and its owners did not need to be complicit in it. This was a choice. A wrong one. History will sneer.

@GuchidaWasTaken I went to Shorewood and haven't watched them play this season so I can neither confirm nor deny that statement😬 I will say that Shorewood was a 3 seed in state last year and lost 3-0 to Ballard, which was the #4 team in Metro to make state.

[Alex Payton @apay26]

No disrespect to Blanchet ⚽️ but they play in Metro’s 2nd division. Goes to show RPI doesn’t mean much.

Alabama has a new, fairer congressional map that gives Black voters an equal opportunity to elect a candidate of their choice. 

This is a historic win for voting rights and democracy, and it happened thanks to the hard work of Black voters, advocates, and organizations like @RedistrictFdn.

I won’t be doing any interviews about Kevin Keegan’s comments. I won’t be bringing light to misogyny.He’s irrelevant. But I would absolutely
“ Love it “if he would Shut up!Those comments are not needed. It’s a shame people feel threatened by some of us. Unlucky for those people!

[Alex Payton @apay26]

This idea that professional women footballers can’t talk about the men’s game is archaic and ignorant.

[Lianne Sanderson @liannesanderson]

Received a lot of abuse today from some Newcastle fans. Everyone is entitled to their opinion but nastiness? Quite frankly I don’t care what you think of me, or every other female broadcaster. So you will be getting blocked. Because I don’t need that type of energy in my life 😁

[Alex Payton @apay26]

@fire_feeds Any more updates?

[Alex Payton @apay26]

@RealColoSoccer Any update on DGSP?

[Alex Payton @apay26]

@RealColoSoccer Are the 3:30 kickoffs at Dick’s canceled?

[Alex Payton @apay26]

@owen4record Mannnn when Ibarbo got a RW card and you could put him up top in a 3 with Gervinho and Doumbia it was over. Aubameyang as a RW for Dortmund too.

[Brett Kollmann @BrettKollmann]

The fact that the two best teams in the league were throwing haymakers at each other for 58 minutes only for the refs to basically decide the game is really a tragedy.

No professional sports season should end like this.

[Bill Simmons @BillSimmons]

Of course. Of course the season was gonna be decided on a shit call. Of course. Of course. Of course,
