Sen. Josh Hawley, R-Mo., appeared at a General Motors plant in Wentzville, Missouri, earlier this week to join members of the United Auto Workers on the picket line against the Big Three automakers. There, he called himself “pro-worker,” challenged the companies to give workers a pay raise and more time off, and said he’s with the workers “100 percent.”While he is rallying against the Big Three now, he has previously received campaign contributions from the automakers. During his first run for Senate in 2018 and through 2020, Hawley’s PAC received $8,500 from GM’s PAC, according to records filed with the Federal Election Commission. His Senate campaign received $3,500 from Ford’s PAC and another $1,000 from a GM executive during that same time period. His PAC and campaign received an additional $13,000 from PACs associated with Toyota, a Japanese company notorious for running non-union shops in the United States.Asked about the donations, a spokesperson for Hawley pointe...

Viktor Hovland and Ludvig Aberg, Europe, def.

Leipzig parts ways with a key executive linked with Bayern Munich a day before playing Bayern

Published Wed, 19 Feb 2025 20:48:08 GMT

LEIPZIG, Germany (AP) — Leipzig parted ways with its top sports executive Max Eberl on Friday citing a “failure to commit to the club” amid speculation linking him with Bayern Munich. The decision came a day before Leipzig plays Bayern in the Bundesliga.Leipzig said Eberl had been “relieved … of his duties with immediate effect.” The club denied the decision was linked to the team’s performance or signings.“His failure to commit to the club has led to us making this decision. It has nothing to do with the squad’s rebuild or results on the pitch,” the club said. Reports in Germany in recent days have indicated that Eberl could be of interest to Bayern, which has shaken up its own management structure after difficulties on the field last season and off-field issues including the firing of coach Julian Nagelsmann in March and replacing him with Thomas Tuchel. Eberl, who was a Bayern player in the early 1990s, had pointed to his Leipzig contract when asked about the sp...
