They are also gearing up to play the team Morgan described as likely their biggest competitor, Sweden.

[...] This will be the first Olympic Games since 2008, in Beijing, where Morgan isn’t suiting up for the U.S.. She’s played in every World Cup for the USWNT since 2011. [...] The USWNT, which hasn’t won Olympic gold in a dozen years, kicks off its campaign on July 25, against Zambia in Nice, a day before the Opening Ceremonies. No Morgan. No Rapinoe.

Evidence (2023-07-08): "Megan Rapinoe is one of the most important players in women’s soccer history and a personality like no other," said U.S. Women’s National Team head coach Vlatko Andonovski. "She has produced so many memorable moments for her team and the fans on the field that will be remembered for a very long time, but her impact on people as a human being may be even more important. It’s been a wonderful experience to coach her in the NWSL and for the National Team and I’m looking forward to her being an important part of our team at the World Cup." [...] "Megan is a generational talent," said USWNT general manager Kate Markgraf, whose international career overlapped four years with Rapinoe. "When you talk about players performing on the biggest stages, she’s right up there with the best to ever do it for the U.S. Women’s National Team. And that’s just her contributions on the field. Her contributions off the field are the epitome of someone who saw that she had a large platform and used it for good."

Evidence (2023-01-05): In September, Sen. Cantwell and Capito joined leaders of U.S. Soccer, USWNT, the U.S. Men’s National Soccer Team (USMNT) and Seattle OL Reign player Megan Rapinoe for the signing of historic Collective Bargaining Agreements guaranteeing players are paid equally. [...] Before, men and women could be compensated differently for representing Team USA in the same sport. For years there have been stories – from the women’s national teams in many sports being paid consistently less, to women’s teams flying in coach to games while men’s teams sat in business class, and waiting months for medical reimbursements. The bipartisan Equal Pay for Team USA Law requires that all athletes representing the United States in global athletic competitions receive equal compensation and benefits in their sport, regardless of gender. It also requires equal payment for medical care, travel and expenses.

Evidence (2024-06-20): Megan Rapinoe helped lead the United States Women’s National Team to a 2-0 victory over South Africa in her final cap for the red, white, and blue. Rapinoe didn’t score in the September 24 game but performed her iconic goal pose one final time at the behest of teammates and received a video tribute before tearfully addressing fans following the match. "I feel like I was able to grow up in front of you," she said. "It has been such an honor to wear this shirt and play out my childhood dream." Her family, friends, and fiancée, former WNBA star Sue Bird, were all in attendance. Still to come is her final game with Seattle’s NWSL team, OL Reign, which Rapinoe has played for since 2013. That final appearance is expected October 15. [...] Rapinoe was part of the USWNT for the 2020 Olympic Games, held in Japan the following summer due to a COVID-19 pandemic delay. She scored twice in the third-place match, as the U.S. left the Games with a disappointing bronze medal. However, the star forward didn’t make the roster for the 2022 SheBelives Cup, a four-team international tournament.

Evidence (2024-06-27): "Today, I'm disappointed about not having the opportunity to represent our country on the Olympic stage," Morgan said in a statement on her social media accounts. "This will always be a tournament that is close to my heart and I take immense pride any time I put on the crest." [...] She was the last one standing of her generation with the USWNT, the group that won back-to-back World Cups and captured the attention of a nation while fighting for equal pay. Megan Rapinoe's retirement last year and the quiet exit of former captain Becky Sauerbrunn after missing the 2023 World Cup due to injury have created a noticeable shift away from experienced, outspoken leaders on the USWNT. Hayes says she relishes developing leaders -- and she'll need them in France. [...] But it is also the unfortunate reality of the profession, even for the legends within it. Missing out on this Olympic squad won't detract from her two World Cup titles and Olympic gold medal, but that doesn't make this apparent end for Morgan's time with the USWNT any less harsh.

Evidence (2009-01-01): John Adams on the abolition of slavery, 1801 A Spotlight on a Primary Source by John Adams On January 24, 1801, President John Adams responded to two abolitionists who had sent him an anti-slavery pamphlet by Quaker reformer Warner Mifflin (1745–1798). In the letter, Adams expresses his views on slavery, the dangers posed by abolitionists (who at the time were mostly Quakers and unpopular religious radicals), and emancipation. Of slavery Adams writes, "my opinion against it has always been known," noting that he has "always employed freemen both as Domisticks and Labourers, and never in my Life did I own a Slave."

Evidence (2022-10-20): Debt has been identified as an excuse for human slavery since the days of early Mesopotamia up until the present. Debt has also justified coercion in relations between states. The Hague Conventions of 1899 and 1907 on ‘Restricting the Use of Force to Recover on Contract Claims’ were the first international efforts to restrict this practice, that was still common as recently as the early 20th century. [...] One of the most striking pieces of analysis on the Chinese debt-trap begins with this telling paragraph: "American statesman John Adams, who served as president from 1797 to 1801, famously said: ‘There are two ways to conquer and enslave a country: one is by the sword; the other is by debt.’ China, choosing the second path, has embraced colonial-era practices and rapidly emerged as the world’s biggest official creditor." This idea – of a China that tries to conquer and enslave – could be an exaggeration for the reasons stated (i.e., that borrowing is a common and bidirectional practice). Besides, the sword and debt are not mutually exclusive – and China’s expansionist agenda across the Himalayas, on the South China Sea, or the Taiwan Strait are stark reminders of this fact.

Claim: Claims that Thomas Jefferson once said, "The reason Christianity is the best friend of Government is because Christianity is the only religion that changes the heart." (Viral Quote, 2019-08-08)
Evidence (2023-02-02): In July 2022, readers asked us to look into the veracity of quotes that appeared in a meme titled, "Damn Those Pesky Facts." The meme had been shared on Facebook and displayed several quotes about Christianity and religion that purportedly came from four men, three who were Founding Fathers. The names shown above the remarks included former U.S. Presidents Thomas Jefferson, John Adams, and James Madison, as well as author Thomas Paine. [...] The second quote with Jefferson's name next to it said, "Christianity is the most perverted system that ever shone on man." According to Monticello.org, a website that is managed by the Thomas Jefferson Foundation, Inc., this was a paraphrase of something Jefferson wrote in 1801 to a clergyman, political theorist, and physical scientist" named Joseph Priestley. The quote was transcribed like this: [...] The final quote that was attributed to Jefferson in the "Damn Those Pesky Facts" meme read, "Religions are all alike - founded upon fables and mythologies." According to Monticello.org, there's no known record of him ever saying these words.

Evidence (2014-03-09): He was said, at the time alluded to, to be unfriendly to Christianity. It is possible this may be true. His notes [probably a reference to Notes on Virginia, which Jefferson composed six or seven years later] contain some expressions which favour that opinion. In my conversations with him in Philadelphia while he was Vice President he denied the charge, and said he believed in the divine mission of the Saviour of the World. . . . He said he believed further in the divine institution of the Sabbath, which he conceived to be a great blessing to the world, more especially to poor people and slaves.Footnote 90 [...] Several modern historians, most recently Peter Onuf, Thomas E. Buckley, and Eva Sheppard Wolf in essays published in Seeing Jefferson Anew, join Gaustad, Burstein, and Sanford in viewing Jefferson as possessing a spiritual temperament, and in Onuf's case, as deeply sympathetic with evangelical Christianity in his final years.Footnote 106 Onuf claims that, in his old age, Jefferson supported the idea that parochial schools fill the void left by Virginia's failure to provide adequate tax-supported public schools for its citizens. (In fact, Jefferson consistently opposed such an alternative, and Onuf provides no evidence for his assertion.) According to Onuf, as Jefferson aged he viewed the Second Great Awakening "in an increasingly positive light." But Jefferson was essentially lukewarm even toward his Baptist and Methodist allies. He never praised their revivalistic religious techniques; indeed, he never said anything positive about them, despite Roger Williams's ancient Baptist association with religious freedom.
Claim: Claims that Thomas Jefferson once said, "The reason Christianity is the best friend of Government is because Christianity is the only religion that changes the heart." (Viral Quote, 2019-08-08)
Evidence (2024-09-13): Religious views of Thomas Jefferson The religious views of Thomas Jefferson diverged widely from the traditional Christianity of his era. Throughout his life, Jefferson was intensely interested in theology, religious studies, and morality.[1][2] Jefferson was most comfortable with Deism, rational religion, theistic rationalism, and Unitarianism.[3] He was sympathetic to and in general agreement with the moral precepts of Christianity.[4] He considered the teachings of Jesus as having "the most sublime and benevolent code of morals which has ever been offered to man,"[5] yet he held that the pure teachings of Jesus appeared to have been appropriated by some of Jesus' early followers, resulting in a Bible that contained both "diamonds" of wisdom and the "dung" of ancient political agendas.[6] [...] Deriving from this statement, Jefferson believed that the Government's relationship with the Church should be indifferent, religion being neither persecuted nor given any special status.
