@AndrewKSchlecht So weird.
Also, what is San Antonio's weird obsession with making mascot tails stick straight up? They're just trying to show their ass.

@StorminInNorman Fans were not booing Fears. They were chanting "Lu" just like they do when he shoots a basket.

Chet Holmgren on his annual Thanksgiving community event: “Foster families are very important — especially for kids who aren’t given the quote-unquote normal upbringing. Anybody who’s willing to bring a child that isn’t theirs into their home and look after them is somebody with a very big heart. I just want to do something special for them.”

Also revealed he donates tickets every game to a foster family: “So we can share Thunder basketball with them.”

By the way after all that chatter, take a wild guess how many free throws OKC got in the third quarter?

Zero.

The DOJ’s cuts to Community Violence Intervention (CVI) programs are not just a policy shift—they’re a step backward at a time when we can least afford it. Let’s be clear about what this means: more shootings, more trauma, and more patients on our operating tables and in our trauma bays.

CVI isn’t abstract. It’s a public health approach to gun violence that centers on the individuals and communities most at risk. CVI teams—made up of trusted, trained community members, often with lived experience—work in neighborhoods, hospitals, and schools to interrupt cycles of violence, mediate conflicts, and connect people to jobs, education, housing, and mental health care. The data speaks volumes. In cities that have implemented CVI models with fidelity—like Oakland, New York, and Chicago—firearm homicides have dropped by 30 to 60%. Hospital-based violence intervention programs (HVIPs) have reduced reinjury rates by up to 50% and helped stabilize families during some of the most dangerous and traumatic moments in their lives.
This work is bipartisan. Governors and mayors across the political spectrum have embraced CVI because it delivers results. It’s grounded in science, driven by communities, and more cost-effective than downstream emergency and incarceration costs.

And yet, despite this evidence—and in the face of rising youth firearm deaths—federal CVI funding is on the chopping block. That’s not just fiscally short-sighted. It’s dangerous. As a trauma surgeon, I’ve seen what happens when we don’t intervene upstream. When a young person arrives in the trauma bay with a gunshot wound, it’s not just a clinical emergency—it’s a failure of systems. We should be doing everything we can to keep people out of harm’s way in the first place.

These cuts will ripple across the country, weakening the very networks that have been preventing violence every day—quietly, effectively, and without fanfare. We should be scaling CVI. Embedding it in Medicaid. Making it part of hospital accreditation and community benefit. Instead, we’re gutting its core support.

Here's Kamala Harris talking about her faith and what it means to love your neighbor.

There is only one person of faith in this Presidential race.

Wow. Amanda Gorman “tomorrow is not written by our odds but by the audacity of our hope.”

“The American dream is no dream at all but a dare to dream together.”

God, she’s magnificent.

When @GovStitt rejected federal dollars to feed children across Oklahoma this summer, we didn't hesitate to step in and help the kids who live on our reservation, both Native and non-Native. That's the Cherokee way. #CherokeeGoodness

[GIFFORDS @GIFFORDS_org]

Gun violence harms us all in so many different ways—through loss of life, injuries, trauma, and stress.

We’re grateful that @Surgeon_General Murthy is calling out this problem for what it is: A public health crisis.

After Kamala Harris was pulled off her college tour, we found her gossiping with suburban white women. And it turns out Kamala is stealing The Five’s material.

This is a painful story that so many families around America now know too well: Amanda was denied the medical care she needed, and it nearly took her life.

More than 1 in 3 women in America now lives under an abortion ban, with more on the way.

Donald Trump did this.
