@RpsAgainstTrump Trump's other ass kissing lapdog Brendan Carr, FCC Commissioner, infringement on Free Speech by using corporate manipulation is nothing short of authoritarianism and yet the public don't give a shit 😔

[Mimzy @MimzyNGB]

@RpsAgainstTrump I love Scott Petlly - I literally grew up with his deep reporting. This is a sad chapter to the the CBS downfall via MAGA. 🥲

[Republicans against Trump @RpsAgainstTrump]

New statement from Scott Pelley:

“Last month, 60 Minutes lost its DNA when our entire senior leadership and two of our best on-air correspondents were cruelly fired without cause. Good people were silenced because they stood up for our audience. They stood for fairness against the forces of political bias; they stood for professionalism against chaos.

For my part, new management has instructed me to inject falsehoods and bias into a politically sensitive story. I’ve been told to include assertions that are unverified. To date, in every case, I have managed to ignore these instructions or refuse them. Recently, politicians have been invited to choose correspondents for interviews on the broadcast. Giving politicians control over 60 Minutes interviews is not how this is done. Finally, incompetence and unprofessionalism in the new management have wreaked havoc. In a case involving one of my stories, the entire program came within 19 minutes of not getting on the air at all.

At 60 Minutes, we have fought harder than anyone knows to save the program that became an American icon. We owed that to our millions of viewers. I am deeply moved by the thousands of wishes we have received to “keep up the good fight.” Most of the men and women of CBS News are still in that fight. But now the collapse of values at the top has become untenable. The leadership of 60 Minutes is no longer recognizable. The principles I hold dear are gone, and so I must leave as well.”

@ReaganGomez All I've ever heard about this guy is he's a reality TV star. He just woke up one day to run for mayor with zero experience. He wasn't even smart enough to buy fire insurance but thousands want him to run a city.

[Elizabeth Warren @ewarren]

Tech execs are saying AI will create a "permanent underclass."

Not on my watch. We need to:

Close loopholes rewarding AI over workers.

Wealth tax—CEOs shouldn't pay a lower rate than workers.

Tax AI data centers.

AI's success belongs to everyone.

Jennifer Welch: “Boycott every fucking thing on CBS News. From the morning all the way through to the evening. These are the same people that fired Stephen Colbert because Trump got his feelings hurt by a comedian. These people are the biggest bunch of pussies that masquerade with these grandstanding letters like they’re such badasses. These people don’t care about the truth, they don’t care about journalism, they don’t care about the Constitution, they don’t care about a free press. It’s just absolutely devastating what these oligarchs have done to our country”

@IanBegley Wemby doesn’t impact guards alone. The Spurs’ backcourt will direct him to Wemby.

@PodThorn Mid-range shots are not inefficient. Badly taken and missed shots are inefficient. Stop trying to change 🏀.

[LBL4Life1 @LBL4Life1]

@PodThorn @NetsFansYouKnow @NetsCifer @InsiiderJayy From your lips to God’s ears. I’ve seen what back injuries did to Larry Bird and Scottie Pippen. I’m still picking MBJ if he’s available at 6. It’s a no brainer.

[Dana Jacobson @danajacobson]

For half my time in Sacramento, Rick Adelman was the @sacramentokings HC. The respect he showed me, meant more than he could ever know. He treated me like the guys & I became a better, more confident reporter because of it. Thinking of his family, players&teammates. RIP Coach 💔

[Rep. Mike Levin @RepMikeLevin]

Let me get this straight.

Howard Lutnick, Trump’s Commerce Secretary, got caught lying about his relationship with Jeffrey Epstein. Democrats grilled him about it and finally got him to agree to testify before the House Oversight Committee.

Four weeks later, Lutnick wrote a $5 million check to the super PAC that funds House Republicans, including members who sit on that committee. Then he showed up for a closed-door interview where, despite pushback from Democrats, no cameras or recordings were allowed.

This is the most corrupt administration in American history and it’s not even close.

Someone else on here said that the 250th anniversary of America paraphernalia looks like an obituary for the country, and that's exactly the vibe going on this year.

The 4th will be on a Saturday but essentially feel like any other day because the wrong people are in charge.

[Mark Price @Mark25Price]

RIP Rick Adelman…He was a great player and a HOF coach, but even a better man! It was an absolute pleasure to have played for you during my career. Class Act! Coach, you will be missed!

[NBA Coaches Assoc. @NBA_Coaches]

The membership of the National Basketball Coaches Association joins the NBA family in mourning the passing of legendary Head Coach and Hall of Famer, Rick Adelman.

Rick Adelman coached in the NBA for 29 years, serving as a Head Coach for 23 seasons with the Portland Trail Blazers, Golden State Warriors, Sacramento Kings, Houston Rockets and Minnesota Timberwolves. Over his coaching career, Rick won 1,042 games (10th all-time), was inducted into the Naismith Basketball Hall of Fame in 2021 and received the NBCA Chuck Daly Lifetime Achievement Award in 2023. Coach Adelman also enjoyed an eight-year NBA playing career with the San Diego Rockets, Portland Trail Blazers, Chicago Bulls, New Orleans Jazz, and Kansas City-Omaha Kings.

Adelman will be remembered not only as a coach and a player, but also as a mentor to so many in the basketball community. Rick was a husband to Mary Kay for 56 years; father to Kathy, RJ, Laura, David, Caitlin, and Patrick; and a grandfather of twelve. Our thoughts and prayers go out to the entire Adelman family during this difficult time.

@BillyReinhardt @NetsDaily This team is so bad and so irrelevant. They need stars. They had five first rounders last year and have about 1.5 serviceable NBA players from it. Knicks win championship and we are even farther into the abyss

[EPop Dëmin Hunter @JamesT888888]

@BillyReinhardt How does this front office look at the absolute irrelevant state this team is in and think they have the goodwill to draft anyone for fit above BPA. Nate Ament at 6 is an abysmal use of what could be the last top 10 pick we see for a long time, no matter how they spin it.

[LBL4Life1 @LBL4Life1]

@Os91413Jon @PodThorn @NetsPressIG @JfromBk @NetsFansYouKnow @3Dboxingblog @ApartmentGamer1 Nah I want a higher pick

[LBL4Life1 @LBL4Life1]

@PodThorn @NetsPressIG @JfromBk @NetsFansYouKnow @3Dboxingblog @ApartmentGamer1 @Os91413Jon Can’t we offer a similar MPJ package?

[Evan Sidery @esidery]

An example of a trade the Thunder can soon offer by dumping Lu Dort’s salary, plus declining Isaiah Hartenstein’s team option to re-sign at a cheaper figure:

Pelicans receive: Aaron Wiggins, Isaiah Joe, Nos. 12 + 17 overall, Future 1st-round picks

OKC receives: Trey Murphy III

[LBL4Life1 @LBL4Life1]

How does this help New Orleans? They get a great versatile defender in Jones & a potential longtime young starting center in Missi. Lopsided deal

[Evan Sidery @esidery]

A legal framework trade the Lakers can offer on draft night for a win-now upgrade:

LA receives: Herb Jones + Yves Missi

New Orleans receives: Dalton Knecht, Jake LaRavia, No. 25 overall, 2031 1st
