For those wondering about the Grizzlies’ future: ask yourself why Memphis Mayor Paul Young and former Mayor Willie Herenton are filming a video in the FedExForum team store amid lease negotiations.
Hint: it’s not because they’re worried the Grizz are going anywhere
Jennifer Welch: “They’re so terrified that Zohran Mamdani or Barack Obama isn’t white, but they’re smarter, they’re better looking, they’re more liked. Black excellence exposes white mediocrity and they can’t stomach it”
REPUBLICAN SEN. TILLIS: “What Freakin’ parallel universe did I wake up in? You’re telling me — if it’s true — damaging the reflecting pool lining is something Pirro wants to prosecute… yet they’re releasing people who pled guilty to assaulting officers?”
A century ago, Black physicians built hospitals, clinics and medical schools across the South — only to see them dismantled by policy, segregation and an influential report.
Investigative journalist Nicole Carr traced that history through her own family and found the consequences are still being felt today.
Geoff Bennett (@GeoffRBennett) spoke with Carr about her book, "The Price of Exclusion."
Happy Juneteenth.
Today we honor the freedom, resilience, and strength of Black Americans — and the generations of civil rights leaders who marched and sacrificed so this country could live up to its own promises.
We cannot honor that legacy without speaking the truth: that freedom is under attack. The Voting Rights Act gutted. Black voters silenced at the ballot box. This is voter suppression in broad daylight.
We don't just commemorate the struggle. We CONTINUE it.
Happy Juneteenth to everyone celebrating today.

Opinion: More than 14 weeks, thousands of lost lives and billions upon billions of U.S. taxpayer dollars later, it appears America is the one surrendering. https://t.co/1mWh7Kignv
The White House was built to serve the American people.
Tonight it was used to promote a company the President owns stock in, sell subscriptions, promote corporate sponsors, push Trump crypto, and enrich the President and his family.
The founders warned us about kings enriching themselves from public office.
They did not fight a revolution for this.
President Barack Obama reacts to U.S. action in Iran as the two sides get closer to a peace deal: “It is doubtful that any agreement that arises is going to be significantly different or a significant improvement from the deal that we had in the first place.”

Trump lies constantly and he is desperate for the Iran war to be over. So desperate that he’s giving Iran 20 times the money Obama did, and getting nothing in return, except an open strait that Iran will charge a “maintenance fee” to all ships. Well done, bozo

My interview with President Trump on Friday afternoon was unfortunately complicated by weather issues. In spite of those challenges, we still had a substantial conversation on issues from the Iran war to the economy to the so-called “anti-weaponization” fund. Tune in for the full interview this morning on @MeetThePress.
