Amarius Mims delivered a dominant season opener, shutting down the Buccaneers’ relentless blitz with zero pressures or sacks while holding his own against rookie phenom Rueben Bain Jr. His career-high pass-blocking grade of 85.4 signals serious growth, and he’s already being eyed as a breakout candidate. Mims stays humble, focusing on protecting Joe Burrow and winning games over personal accolades, while pushing coaches for more athletic opportunities. Up next: a brutal test against Houston’s elite pass rushers — a chance to keep improving, not just impressing.

Shohei Ohtani sits out again for the Dodgers against the Reds, despite returning just yesterday after a four-game absence — a surprise move as he’s not quite 100% with arm and knee issues. Manager Dave Roberts says they’re easing him back in slowly, possibly using him off the bench tonight, with a return to the starting lineup expected tomorrow. Ohtani, speaking for the first time in three weeks, admits he’s still working through physical hiccups and is focused on playing through the rest of the season, even as his recent hitting slump continues.

Republicans are weaponizing the term “socialism” in the midterm race, painting Democrats as radical after polls show strong Democratic support for socialist ideas — especially in Kentucky, where DSA-linked wins are being used to fuel GOP attacks. But Democrats push back, calling it a distraction from GOP failures like economic instability and soaring costs. Candidates like Charles Booker reject the label, insisting their policies — like universal healthcare and fair wages — aren’t socialism but common-sense solutions. Even Governor Beshear admits voters crave bold change, even if he’s wary of the term. Meanwhile, democratic socialists say they’re gaining traction, with stigma at an all-time low — seen as a threat by those clinging to the status quo. The debate is national: a House resolution condemning socialism passed, though not without dissent, as Republicans use it to target Democrats who’ve moved beyond traditional party lines — including those who’ve fled communist regimes.
