CRAZY game clinching sequence. Draymond obliterates Sengun on the screen. Steph misses but Draymond intercepts the ball and finds GP2 for the reverse dunk. Warriors are gonna take the series lead 2-0. And they did it while Jimmy got to rest and recover. #DubNation

Absolutely FILTHY rocker step from Steph. Running the other way before it hits the net. And he knows he's a bad man.

I ride to Union Square every morning. The number of drivers who try to kill me has been nearly reduced to zero, and *every single intersection* that was formerly jammed with the box blocked is now properly open to traffic.

this guy is a world class asshole

BREAKING: The ACLU says the Trump administration has deported three U.S. citizen children.

recent polling is just a total repudiation of the idea that full spectrum opposition to trump across every area was/is a bad idea

NEW: Statement from attorney for Judge Dugan. "Hannah C. Dugan has committed herself to the rule of law and the principles of due process for her entire career as a lawyer and a judge. Judge Dugan will defend herself vigorously, and looks forward to being exonerated."

Like I cannot emphasize enough as someone who was worked on immigration for a decade & continues to be impacted by it: democrats *choose* to be weak on immigration. It’s their *will* to give the GOP an upper hand on the topic. Its why the party loved Eric Adams in 2021: anti-immigrant Black person

Hardcovers make great gifts, too!

Pedro Pascal accuses J.K. Rowling of "heinous loser behavior" for her celebratory post following a U.K. court decision that did not recognize transgender women as women.

Academics self-citing

That the head of a cosmpolitan but authoritarian religious hierarchy had more feeling for the world's displaced and persecuted than nearly all the rich world's "liberal" politicians is an indictment of what nationalism does to our brains and our hearts.

dirty ass rockets man, can’t stand this fuckin team

TIL Katy Perry has financially manipulated so many old people out of their homes for her own benefit that she's got a law named after her www.forbes.com/sites/hughmc...

They need to make JTA a regular in the studio

if you're an old-ass democrat waiting to announce your retirement today STAY IN LINE

I will say it again — DEI has always polled well and the idea that it's broadly upopular is wholly the invention of pundits nursing their own grievances and projecting them onto an imagined average American. Many such cases.

If these abductions do not push every single one of you to question the existence of immigrant "detention" centers and the conditions of ALL prisons and jails, then you are really doing life wrong. Conditions in detention, jails, and prisons in the U.S. ARE TERRIBLE. They are awful every single day.

Let's goooooooooo. Now do Chuck.

Van Hollen awakening the thirst for productive displays of doing stuff in his colleagues

If 50% of USians supported a return of chattel slavery, one does wonder how to Democratic party would respond.

BREAKING: A new Gaza solidarity encampment is being built at Yale, one year after dozens were arrested here. They demand immediate divestment from Israeli weapons manufacturing. Despite the Trump admin abducting activists like Mahmoud Khalil nationwide, hundreds of are here anyway. FREE PALESTINE!

look at Pete Hegseth’s sideburns and tell me this man isn’t drunk shaving

really brutal chotinering right here www.newyorker.com/news/q-and-a...

Musk is a sleazy, mumbling, bloated sack of insecurity

If it's possible for you and a few others in your communities to band together now and to start planning back to school free stores, children's clothing swaps, school supply giveaways etc... definitely do it. There's going to be a lot of need.

i’ll tell you what: that detroit arena is gonna be a fucking MADHOUSE for game 3

still cracking up at Ian Eagle saying "not A Complete Unknown, Jalen Brunson" when Timothy Chalamet stood up and clapped after a Brunson bucket

Fat Joe lookin like the Easter Bunny at the Knicks game.

"We want to eliminate the entire Department of Education except the part that breaks kneecaps"

"almost every night since Oct 2023, even during his hospitalization, Pope Francis made a daily phone call to the only Catholic parish in the Gaza Strip to check on their safety and offer words of prayer and support. His last public act, the day before he died, was to call for a ceasefire in Gaza."

This is why you should live every day like it’s your last. Because who wouldn’t want their last act to be telling JD Vance not to be such a knob? www.europesays.com/2009702/

Pope Francis has died at 88. Born Jorge Mario Bergoglio, he became the first Jesuit pope from the Americas in 2013.

Maybe people should pay close attention to the fact that Gavin Newsom's political instincts actually SUCK. Keep that in mind if/when folks start to tell you that you HAVE to vote for this person.

Breaking: a judge in GA ordered that the fed'l gov't CANNOT pull the visas of foreign students. The order applies ONLY to students who are part of the lawsuit. If you want to join the lawsuit, reach out to: [email protected] and [email protected] youtu.be/FS6B8CM8uf4

Eight steals for the Warriors at halftime. Three for Butler, two for GP2.

Yep the Israeli cabinet minister charged with building Jewish settlements in occupied east Jerusalem and the West Bank is an accused serial child rapist

Btw I’m pretty sure the three DoD staffers who got fired earlier this week were the sources for this story. One wonders what other tea might be spilled in the coming week.

Q: "How do you respond to Governor Newsom?" Sen. Van Hollen: "I think Americans are tired of elected officials or politicians who are all finger to the wind...Anybody who can't stand up for the Constitution and the right of due process doesn't deserve to lead."

I worked in corporate media for decades and to me the real reason this happens is that the people running things look at white offenders and see their kids. They need to explain the evil away because of course he had a reason. No one else is given that grace.

Simultaneously the most wholesome response to RFK so far and also somehow the biggest flex
