Trump going to game 3 of the NBA finals is straight up ruining it for the fans. The NY Knicks are recommending people get to MSG at least 2 hours before tip off because of all of the security. He doesn’t care of course but he’s ruining a good thing. Total loser
Jeffries: I don’t think he’s going to be received well. I think it’s very likely that, if his name is called or if he appears on the Jumbotron, he’s going to get booed.
Former “60 Minutes” correspondent Scott Pelley took to Instagram on Saturday to thank his fans for their support after the program’s new executive producer, Nick Bilton, fired him after an explosive confrontation.
“To all of you who have been so kind, you are the wind in my sails. So deeply grateful,” Pelley wrote, along with a photo of him looking elated at the helm of his sailboat.

Stephen A. Smith tells President Trump not to come to Madison Square Garden for Game 3 of the NBA Finals,
“He’s coming to Game three of the Finals, and I don’t want him there. It has nothing to do with politics, policy, or anything like that."
At 4am, Senate Republicans gave the greenlight for the IRS to drop ALL investigations into Trump and his family.
That means if Trump is evading taxes, we’ll never know.
I have a bill to make this illegal. And I won’t stop fighting to get it done.
🚨Game 2 at The Jeffrey🚨
From 7 until the tip at 830, we’re rolling back prices to 1973 — the last time the Knicks won a championship!
73 cent beers / 73 cent wings / 73 cent oysters / 73 cent hot dogs / 73 cent fries / 7.30 smashburgers
Let’s Go Knicks!!!
Nick Bilton walked into the 60 Minutes newsroom four days after Bari Weiss fired the people who built the show. He tried to pretend he didn't know about the firings. Scott Pelley, in front of the remaining staff, would not let that stand.
"She loves 60 Minutes," Bilton said. "She's murdering 60 Minutes," Pelley said back. "She does not love this place. She was brought in to kill it - and she's doing exactly that."
One of Weiss's lieutenants kept interrupting to say Pelley was being rude. Pelley kept going.
JVL's framing is the right one. The corrupter depends on the existing institution being too polite to say the obvious thing out loud. Christopher Wray resigned quietly to "preserve the integrity of the FBI." John Kelly gave print interviews after he left. Thom Tillis, John Cornyn, Mitch McConnell, Jim Mattis, Bill Barr - all of them saw it. All of them objected privately. None of them said it in the room where it was happening, to the person doing it, while the cameras were still running.
Pelley said it in the room. To the person's face. In front of witnesses. While he still worked there.
That is a different thing entirely. Not a memoir. Not an anonymous source in a tell-all. Not a carefully worded statement issued after the resignation letter was already filed. The true thing, said out loud, to the people who needed to hear it, at the moment it could still matter.
Authoritarianism counts on politesse. It counts on people deciding the fight isn't worth the awkwardness, the career risk, the label of being difficult. Scott Pelley decided it was worth it. The republic needs more of that calculation to come out the same way.
BREAKING: In an incredible moment, Congressman Brendan Boyle just silenced Scott Bessent for trying to blame Joe Biden for today's inflation. The American people aren't having MAGA's BS anymore.
Matthews: I will say that during my time working as deputy press secretary in the first Trump administration, Kaitlan Collins was the one reporter that scared Kayleigh Mcenany. And President Trump the most.
