• Chargers midseason grades: Offense, injuries to blame

  29-10-2019 23:33 via ocregister.com
  
  A one-point win in Chicago against a top defense wasn’t enough. The Chargers needed to make a coaching change after eight disappointing games.
  The Chargers ended their three-game losing streak after defeating the Bears last week and cut ties with offensive coordinator Ken Whisenhunt on Monday night. The move meant the Chargers were looking ahead to key games against the high-octane offenses of the Green Bay Packers (Week 9) and Kansas City Chiefs (Week 11).

  Most members of Congress are wealthy, highly educated, white-collar workers. But they’re charged with creating policies that help Americans who, on average, have vastly different life experiences.
  A bill that passed the House of Representatives today with unanimous, bipartisan support aims to chip away at that gap by making it easier for everyday people — particularly working mothers and fathers with young children — to run for office in the United States.
