As soon as I heard Tata was returning to Atlanta I figured he'd get the band back together. Josef was good in SJ and seems like a great dude and teammate, but they needed someone who can press and defend as well as score goals. I would be shocked if he doesn't play for Atlanta next season.

Finding Your Path Forward: Career Resilience in Global Development’s New Reality Reflections after moderating a NASPAA panel on navigating careers post-USAID

"It's been traumatic," a panelist said about the #USAID collapse. Before we talk pivots, we need to acknowledge grief. I wrote about what 3 dev leaders taught me about finding your path forward when traditional careers disappear. voxsouley.wordpress.com/2025/11/03/f... #GlobalDevelopment

Western Conference: What we learned in Game 2 & what comes next | MLSSoccer.com The Round One Best-of-3 Series grind of the Audi 2025 MLS Cup Playoffs rolls on – for some teams.

I love they way @mattdoyle.bsky.social said Portland should play in Game 3 vs SDFC: how Neville will pull out "...anyone who’s playing with anything less than wild-eyed, end-of-days coded zealotry in general." That was a true LOL for me.

What Extreme Poverty Looks Like Ten percent of humanity struggles to live on under $2 a day. That, and the gap between the extremely poor and the more privileged, is important to see.

Nearly 10% of humanity (~800M people in 2025) struggles to live on less than $3 a day. It’s important for Americans to appreciate that reality — and the growing gap between the extremely poor & the extremely privileged — because, as USAID demonstrated, our nation has the power to change it.

Thanks @mattdoyle.bsky.social for putting this one into your column! Glad it sparked a response! Thanks for all you do, you're the über sicko!

Tail of 2 for-sale teams - Vancouver & San Jose.... Vancouver hires new to MLS coach who delivers amazing success with modest roster turnover. San Jose hires legendary winningest of all time Bruce Arena who brings in half his NER favorites plus Chicho and Josef... actually I have no question. :)

San Jose! They need good defenders!

Deep dive: The unraveling of USAID Over the last six months, here’s how the world’s largest aid donor was torn apart.

This is painful to read but pretty thorough. Thanks to the great team @devex.com for all the important journalism you've done throughout this mess.

Was thinking about this - it's literally ALL 18 LigaMX teams, even the weakest ones, with basically MLS's top 18 teams, give or take. So MLS's better teams should take out the weaker LigaMX's teams. Some outliers for sure.

Why would they reject the bid? Do you think it was Nico's request? Hard to reject going to La Liga...

100% Minnesota is always a problem for the Quakes. Super frustrating-I was thinking that Fisher investing in Bruce Arena, Chicho, JM, etc is to spruce up the team to sell it. Maybe a shiny new DP & top 6 playoff position would make the team even more valuable in the short term. but what do I know...

Too bad Minnesota absolutely destroyed them. sheesh.

7. Beat Dallas and Minnesota (watch for long throws!) and tying Seattle. Hopefully no injuries to Daniel or the front three.

Hey @mattdoyle.bsky.social and @tombogert.bsky.social - Who should buy the San Jose Earthquakes? What will you want to see in a new owner? What ownership group would want this team vs Vancouver? Have you heard anything?

OMG my inner 12 year old is freaking out happy!

How Gen Z Sees the World A conversation with Zoomer author and commentator Kyla Scanlon.

This is super interesting to me, a parent of Gen Z kids. I can see the levels of nihilism or fatalism with respect to how the system has failed them. Time will tell which way things go.

Awesome. My home USL team almost took you guys out! I wish I could say that they carried that confidence into the rest of their regular season that year, but it did not! USL is like watching college basketball - glimpses of brilliance with lots of errors and misses. Ex MLS with some NCAA stars...

I was at a Monterey Bay (California) FC USOC match 2 yrs ago (my home team) - we'd beaten the SJ Earthquakes for a cupset. LAFC, as the reigning MLS cup champions, had a bye to meet the winner of that game. MBFC took LAFC to 2 overtimes/penalties, down to like the 18th penalty. Never say die. 😜

This is a great geek-out on how in the US, Major League Soccer #MLS can be like Japan, and more deliberately and considerately change their calendar to match the international seasonal calendars, with similar concerns to US club owners.

And he did it in WAY fewer games! That's pretty amazing. Hope he gets a few more braces and hat tricks! They should let him take penalties to crush Landon Donovan's record. :)

Nearly 60 years ago, Patti and I joined the Peace Corps—a decision that changed our lives.

Yesterday, we stood with returned volunteers outside Peace Corps HQ to defend one of the most effective tools of American soft power.

If there is one thing Peace Corps volunteers know how to do, is to organize with minimal resources.

RPCVs, now is the time to do the work we have always done to save the work we have done to make sure it continues.

@booker.senate.gov thanks so much for fighting for us!! You’re a legend!
