ST. PAUL, Minn. — The United States Men’s National Team will close out its spectacular run of fall friendlies on Tuesday, Oct. 6, when it takes on its regional rival Canada in St. Paul, Minn. It’s the USMNT’s first match against the Canadians since falling 2-1 to them in the Nations League in March 2025. Both teams have evolved considerably since then. The USMNT, fresh off unearthing a new generation of teenage talent, is undefeated in its run of post-World Cup friendlies; Canada, while working with an older player pool, has raised its performance floor and found much-needed consistency under coach…
Editor’s note: This guest column is part of a Seattle Times Opinion series exploring the First Amendment and its five freedoms.I was standing at Thomas Jefferson’s grave at his Monticello home, looking at the inscription that he chose. I am fascinated by Jefferson, both as a journalist who has written about him and as an ordained minister who has paid attention to his views on religion.There was nothing on Jefferson’s gravestone about being the third president of the United States.There was note of him as the author of the Declaration of Independence and his pride in founding the University of Virginia.…

Out of the three undefeated teams remaining in the NFL a month into the season, the unlikeliest of the group is the one that can’t score touchdowns.Since it erupted for 39 points in a season-opening win, the Minnesota Vikings’ offense has scored just one offensive touchdown in its last three games. It has gone 18 consecutive possessions without reaching the end zone. No other team in the NFL has thrown for fewer yards through four games, and only six have averaged fewer yards per rush. Offensive numbers like that might normally doom a team. The Vikings have found a workaround,…
France is burning again, and at some point we have to stop pretending this is normal. As many as 500 high schools are closed or partially closed because the government cannot guarantee their security. Twenty-four schools have reportedly been burned or ransacked and 78 education employees injured. In Paris, hooded individuals piled combustible material against the entrance of a school and set it on fire. When masked thugs are setting schools on fire, you are watching the breakdown of civil society. The radical left has helped turn legitimate frustration into another excuse for confrontation with the state. What began with…
