That's a hell of a win for the pride of Greenville, N.C., Tommy Paul in the 2nd round at Roland Garros. Down 2 sets, and then down 3-5 in the fourth set, the No. 12 seeded Paul rallies and survives, winning 6-4 in the fifth. Battling injury, Paul guts it out.

Scrubs is much better-equipped for a revival than a lot of other shows in the What Is Dead May Never Die era. That said, I hope they write JD like he was at the end of Scrubs proper, not like he was in his appearances on Scrubs Med.

Trump’s inability to keep his mouth shut sucks but also is a gift in these lawsuits. The fact that the Secretary of Education has decades of experience working with the PT Barnum of our time isn’t helping.

OKC 128, MIN 126. Just a hell of a fight. In the end, too many turnovers and too many offensive rebounds allowed for the Wolves to overcome some absurd shotmaking from SGA and Jalen Williams. Wolves now on the brink of elimination.

Tremendous ballgame i enjoyed thoroughly. OKC is so damn good and Minny is right there with them.

BREAKING: Scott Pelley just risked everything to make one thing clear: The attack on free speech isn’t coming—it’s already here. Journalists are being silenced, critics are being punished, and most of the media’s playing dead. This is state-sponsored suppression. This is dictatorship in real time.

just absolutely insane that this is what Trump accused Biden of doing, and now he's done it himself.

Bryan Shelton said he agreed to wear an earpiece/do live interviews during this match because it’s good for the game. He’s absolutely correct, and he consistently makes himself available to the media. Hopefully other coaches will follow suit.

A clearly insane and cognitively diminished President Trump rambled at length about a far-right conspiracy theory in front of the president of South Africa at the White House yesterday. Now here's eight articles about Biden's halting pauses and memory lapses.

Trump told us these people were so dangerous they couldn't afford due process to prove how dangerous they were. They had to go straight to the foreign concentration camp. Turns out at least one in five of them didn't even break US immigration law

This is—it bears repeating—ethnic cleansing and a war crime. It feels utterly pointless to say, and roughly equivalent to screaming into the void, but the United States should not be supporting or providing any aid to a state that has ethnic cleansing as a policy position.

This is also shows just how weak the liberal media are right now. Cuomo's a sex creep funded by Republicans and governed to give Republicans power when he was in charge of the state but they just can't get that across to the primary electorate.

NPR published a story 5 days ago about three high ranking Trump officials with clear ties to Hitler-admiring antisemites and it barely made a ripple. These are the kind of stories that used to end political careers. Now the subjects of the stories just hold up a middle finger and keep plowing ahead.

It was closer than the score indicates, but No. 1 Georgia gets its revenge and their first NCAA title since 2000, defeating No. 2 and defending champion Texas A&M 4-0. Second-year coach Drake Bernstein has coached four National champions now (NCAA singles, doubles, team and National Indoor)

This kid is 15, and so has a moral clarity and uprightness that no adult elected official would or could ever have. There aren't really and never have been two sides of this issue, but if it has to be argued as a binary thing I don't see how anything less than this could seem like the side to be on.

I hate that Pacroretty just scored one of the biggest Leafs goal in decades and my instinct is not to get excited until we find out if the offside challenge is coming.

So dangerous to create a personalist regime where no coherent policy is ever made and anyone who contradicts the leader is forced out. The governance of modern societies depends on planning and information flow.

A million times this. Like every other professional league, the MLB made partnerships with betting apps an essential part of their business model, and now they have to rehab former players who denigrated the sport because gambling is now a great thing.
