The Milwaukee Brewers are headed to the 2026 World Series after they swept the Los Angeles Dodgers in the National League Championship Series. The franchise, which has never won an MLB title, will be making its first appearance in the Fall Classic since 1982. Thursday’s result, a 6-4 Brewers victory in Game 4, ended the Dodgers’ hopes of earning dynasty status. Los Angeles entered the postseason as two-time defending champions, and a third straight title would have put it in rare air — the New York Yankees and the Oakland Athletics the only other teams to have accomplished such a feat. “We’re just happy for our fans and everybody that has been part of this organization and stuck with us over the years,” Brewers star Christian Yelich said.

Those columns we’ve been noticing right by The District are for a new pedestrian/bicycle bridge over Green Valley Parkway, just south of the 215 at Village Walk Drive. It will connect the two sides of The District at Green Valley Ranch and tie into the 215 Beltway Trail, so pedestrians can cross Green Valley without dealing with the traffic below. The columns are going up now, then they’ll build the ramp walls. The actual bridge structure is scheduled to arrive in March 2027, with the bridge substantially finished around April.

MORE SS MONEY IS ON THE WAY IN 2027
76 million Social Security and Supplemental Security Income beneficiaries will receive 3.6% more in 2027, the largest increase in four years. The COLA will equal an additional $75 a month for the average retired worker and an additional $59 a month for disability and survivor beneficiaries. The increase matches the fifth-largest Social Security COLA in the last 35 years, topped only by 2022 (8.7%), 5.9% (2021), 5.8% (2008) and 4.1% (2005). The change will come in January 2027 for traditional Social Security retirees, survivors and those with disability. SSI recipients will receive the increase on their Dec. 31 deposit, which will arrive a day early due to the Jan. 1, 2027, federal holiday.
FOOTBALL LEGEND, MIKE DITKA DIES
Legendary Chicago Bears coach Mike Ditka, who led the team to its only Super Bowl victory in 1986, has died, his family announced. He was 86. “It is with profound sadness that we announce the passing of our beloved husband, father, grandfather, and friend, Mike Ditka,” his family announced in a statement on Friday. “While the world knew Mike as a Hall of Fame football player, legendary coach, and leader of the Chicago Bears’ Super Bowl XX championship team, we knew him as the heart of our family,” the statement said. “Mike will be missed beyond measure and remembered forever.” Tough and pugnacious, Ditka personified the hard-hitting team he led to a 46-10 thrashing of the New England Patriots in Super Bowl XX and was called “Iron Mike,” both because of his gruff demeanor and that he hailed from a steel town in Pennsylvania. But Ditka, who was born Michael Dyczko, on Oct. 18, 1939, was a beloved figure in the Windy City.

She was a prolific television performer, collecting five Emmy nominations and winning one for the 1990 miniseries “People Like Us.”
