Orlando has selected the son of Greg Anthony, Juwan Howard and Jason Richardson. They should’ve taken Bronny and Bol Bol just to complete the set

Portland is now able to play the rarely see quad big lineup - Clingan, Ayton, Williams, Hansen

NEW: Home rule in Douglas County is losing 72%-28% in initial returns. The GOP county commissioner pushing the plan claimed the opposition is funded by the Chinese Communist Party. (The opposition leader is Asian American) #copolitics

Is SGA going to up the grift in this half? Please no.

Dame, Tatum and potentially (hopefully not) Halli - the Myrmidons are building a stacked line up.

I’m betting on the Pacers to win Game 7 tonight because if a Republican-led US government is starting wars over spurious claims that Muslim countries are developing WMD programs, Haliburton is probably about to get a big win

As our nation girds for possible Iranian terrorist attacks, this is the person Trump put in charge of terrorism prevention. 22 years old. Recent work experience: landscaping/grocery clerk. Never worked a day in counter-terrorism. But he’s a BIG Trump fan. So he got the job.

WSJ remains opposed to “finding out” while steadfastly cheerleading effing around.

I'm going through UF Law book award winner Preston Damsky's twitter account, and it's worse than what the NYT reported. He thinks that Stephen Miller isn't racist enough. Because he's a Jew, and the "Jew clique ... is bringing America to ruin." x.com/preston_terr... x.com/preston_terr... 1/

"We will measure our success not only by the battles we win but also by the wars that we end − and perhaps most importantly, the wars we never get into. My proudest legacy will be that of a peacemaker and unifier." -- Donald Trump's 2nd Inaugural Address, 1/20/25

The Japanese were not at war with the United States, they were at war with Pearl Harbor

Hakeem heroically slaps the floor with both hands, before trying to take a charge.

Trump in 2013: “Remember what I previously said--Obama will someday attack Iran in order to show how tough he is.”

I was thinking that maybe, more than 20 years after the start of the Iraq war, media coverage would be more skeptical and less sycophantic No such luck

If the religious journey of Vance Boelter described in this article were Muslim, Americans would be scream about an extremist religious person who went on a terroristic rampage. But he's a Christian. So everybody shrugs "What could have caused this?" www.washingtonpost.com/nation/2025/...

Please read and share this statement from Sophie and Colin Hortman, children of Rep. Melissa Hortman and her husband Mark. (via WCCO reporter Caroline Cummings on X)

Why should anyone care what he thinks? What has he built? What tactical expertise does he possess.

Boelter's best friend and roommate says he adored Trump, hated all the Democrats, especially Walz and Biden, and got his news from InfoWars and Fox News.

Trump's Sunday night screed about Democrats who are "sick of mind" and "hate our country" is the exact sort of rhetoric that radicalizes people like Boelter to commit acts of violence. But instead of responding to the Hortman assassination by turning down the heat, Trump keeps ramping it up.

A top staffer to Sen. Tina Smith emailed Sen. Mike Lee’s top staffers on Monday about “how much additional pain you’ve caused on an unspeakably horrific weekend” Via Sam Stein on twitter

Katie Miller — a top Trump administration aide who is married to White House Deputy Chief of Staff Stephen Miller — ordered a government agency to lie in an effort to cover up a bogus claim by Elon Musk, according to a blockbuster New York Times report. www.mediaite.com/media/news/s...

He’s gonna send the troops into our cities to create violence as a pretense for shooting us to control the violence.

This is much better than Speaker Jeffries references to a vague violence, but it could be even more specific. Name actual individuals who need to be held to account. It will make the general charges stick and spark an actual news cycle as reporters ask them for comments and replies. Call them out.

political press is doing a real disservice by basically not reporting the nuances of public opinion on deportations, and creating the appearance that most americans support the stephen miller-style gestapo tactics

C.E.O. pay increased last year, and the disparity with what employees are paid is the highest since companies began reporting this measure. www.nytimes.com/2025/06/06/b...

Checked in with Tim Walz spokesperson and as of three min ago, President Trump had not called him, according to the governor’s office

It’s not just Mike Lee — Bernie Moreno is pretending that a registered Republican evangelical anti-abortion Trump voter who assassinated a Democrat and had more on his hit list is a representative of “the extreme left”
