James Dolan invited his friend Donald Trump to watch Game 3. In order to do that, they have to ban the organic, historically joyous parties happening outside MSG for fans who can't afford to be inside. Modern sports in a nutshell

No one is stealing anything, and it’s totally possible to run a fair and accessible election whose outcome is known quickly.

[John Hagner @JHagner]

California vote counting is a useful litmus test both for which online Republicans are close-to-the-surface conspiracy theorists and which online Democrats can’t understand how blue state governance failures make it harder to win.

@jyazman2012 It would be better if the northern state was called Outdiana

file this one away for after the stealth bomber takes out the Trump arch at the climax of the 2029 inauguration

[Kyle Cheney @kyledcheney]

In appeals court fight over the White House ballroom, DOJ says the federal government could quickly bulldoze the statute of liberty and no one would have standing to sue over the changes once the demolition is done.

This feels like a victimless crime in that anyone stupid enough to make bets about George Santos attending a speech is clearly a person who doesn’t deserve nice things.

You can’t make a “George Santos commit crimes here”button and be surprised when he pushes it.

[The Associated Press @AP]

Prediction market Kalshi has reported former Rep. George Santos to prosecutors over a bet he made on himself, a person familiar with the investigation says. https://t.co/26MdbxO8yq

@goldenhedgehog1 it's embarrassing but linkedin games are phenomenal

@MattHerdman I only logged in this year under duress

[John Hagner @JHagner]

I would rather read 1000 Bluesky posts about the Michigan Senate Primary from people who live in NY and DC than a single word of a Biden WH memoir, that's how strongly I feel about this.

Congrats @aishabbwahab on advancing to the #CA14 general election! Aisha ran on her impressive record of fighting for tenant rights, expanding health care & taking on corporate monopolies and powerful special interests. We look forward to supporting her in the general election!

@rdthorsett @RDiBernardi @admcrlsn Problems that exist, but that can be solved with money and political will.

[John Hagner @JHagner]

The clearest sign that a political analyst has no idea what they’re talking about will be any talking about the partisan composition of California primary voters today. It will be literal weeks before we know (which should be embarrassing for lots of people).

[John Hagner @JHagner]

@RDiBernardi @admcrlsn The most defensible reason is that they prioritize accessibility and count ballot postmarked election day. Moderately defensible is that they have long ballots and it's a big state. Indefensible is that they don't put nearly the resources they should into counting.

[John Hagner @JHagner]

What we do know is what hasn’t been counted is a lot more Democratic than what has been. Anyone who pretends otherwise is a hack.

We encountered hundreds of people on this journey in red state America, many of whom probably don’t agree with me on much politically, and every single one of them knew we were a gay couple adopting a baby and every single one was kind to us. There is place for us here.

[John Hagner @JHagner]

Watching this tweet get discussed today as I worked from Florida, where my gay husband and I are waiting for the paperwork from adopting our daughter, was fascinating. Because what the last month of being in a FL NICU every day is that the people who think like Ogles lost.

[Jamie Dupree @jamiedupree]

After taking flak from other Republicans on Capitol Hill, Rep. Andy Ogles R-TN has deleted this tweet

@emiliepfrank I hate it so much but it works
