1 week ago Trump has called the US postal service ‘a joke’. But don’t expect Amazon to replace it | Niamh Rowe

Amid financial struggles and presidential criticism, USPS is facing challenges. But it plays an essential role in US lifeIn towns where Washington DC is an abstraction, the post office is the front desk of American democracy – sometimes the only public space at all. Here, postmasters are “the human side of government”, as the senator Jennings Randolph put it in 1976. “When such offices are closed,” he warned, “the American flag really comes down.”Championed by Benjamin Franklin in 1775, the roots of the US postal service – whose mandate is to “bind the nation together” – are older than the republic itself. The constitution calls for “post offices and post roads”. The USPS is still legally obligated to provide a “basic and fundamental” service to all Americans. In Scottsbluff, Nebraska, a rural carrier drives more than 700 miles a year to serve just two households.Niamh Rowe is a New York-based writer and podcast producer Continue reading...

1 week ago Tom Brady says critics of his role as NFL owner and broadcaster are ‘blinded by distrust’

Dual role has raised claims of conflict of interestBrady says he is committed to integrity of his sportTom Brady has said only the “paranoid and distrustful” doubt that he can work as both a broadcaster and team owner in the NFL.Since he retired from playing, Brady has become a minority owner of the Las Vegas Raiders and taken up a role as an analyst with Fox. As part of his broadcasting role, Brady has access to others teams’ players and coaches, an option unavailable to owners of other NFL teams. Some believe his dual role brings up a conflict of interest and gives Brady and, by extension, the Raiders an unfair advantage over other teams. The topic drew even more debate last week when Brady was seen in the Raiders’ coaching booth during the team’s loss to the Los Angeles Chargers. The NFL said Brady did not break any rules.

When Scott Pendlebury zipped up his tracksuit top, you knew it wasn’t the Magpies’ day. But make no mistake: Brisbane were the superior teamDuring finals sign up for our free weekly AFL newsletterDarcy Cameron executed the perfect tap, Nick Daicos executed the perfect kick and Mason Cox executed the perfect stuff up. Sometimes in life, and in football, you just know it isn’t going to be your day. And when the ball ballooned off big Mason’s belly button, a bad Collingwood moon was rising. A few minutes later, Scott Pendlebury was zipping up his tracksuit top, done for the day and the year. He’s their compass and their second coach but he also plays a critical defensive role at stoppages. Several times in the opening quarter, the Lions waltzed out the front of packs where Pendlebury would normally have been the doorman.One thing Collingwood had in their favour was precedent. So you’re three goals down at quarter time, all at sea and without one of your best and most experienced player...
