"The Celtics were not willing to part with enough young players and assets to get a deal done."
@ShamsCharania says Boston offered Jaylen Brown and two first-round picks for Giannis Antetokounmpo before he was traded to Miami 👀
"These vandals remain unidentified even under the watch of National Guardsmen deployed to the Reflecting Pool. And they were apparently reckless enough to do their dirty work under 24/7 surveillance - there’s a permanent wide angle camera mounted atop the Washington Monument. You can drop in on the feed any time. Trump himself claims there are tapes. So this is a problem very easily solved. Just release the tapes, and we can clear this all up. (Not the water, of course; that much has proven impossible.)
Not gonna happen.
As erratic as Trump’s behavior can be, at the end of the day, he’s the most predictable guy there is. Because he’s been in this exact same kind of situation before - backed into a corner, attacked on some spurious claim that can be easily cleared up by evidence he confidently proclaims exists but never actually produces."

I asked Norman Rockwell's granddaughter, Daisy Rockwell, if the White House had requested permission to use the artist's work this way. Her reply: "Curtis Publishing holds the rights to that painting but I am willing to bet they didn’t request them since they never follow copyright law. It goes without saying that they have completely misunderstood the meaning of the painting, which is tolerance for others and peaceful coexistence."
This Celtics/Giannis situation didn’t change at all over the last 36 hours just FYI. Nothing is different. They made a real offer 2 weeks ago (as I repeatedly told you on my pods) and it’s been a staring contest ever since. But I do think it gets resolved today or tomorrow AM.
BREAKING: A federal judge has halted the Trump administration effort to subpoena Minnesota Gov. Tim Walz and others in an immigration enforcement probe. https://t.co/N8jb9vhA8p
You actually *can* expect a president of the United States not to engage in “trash talk” that escalates a war and endangers national security.
Just maybe not *this* president.
A massive new study shows updated COVID-19 vaccines slash the risk of heart attacks, strokes, and deaths.
A groundbreaking study published in JAMA Internal Medicine shows that updated COVID-19 vaccines offer powerful protection for the heart, reducing the risk of severe cardiovascular events like heart attacks, strokes, and heart failure by almost 40%.
Analyzing data from more than 1 million U.S. veterans, researchers discovered that vaccination not only mitigates virus-specific heart damage but also leads to a 6% drop in overall severe cardiovascular disease and a 7% reduction in all-cause hospitalizations and deaths.
For every 10,000 people vaccinated, the shot was linked to preventing roughly 23 major cardiovascular events, 30 hospitalizations, and 16 deaths over just an eight-month period.
The cardiovascular benefits were most pronounced in adults over age 75 and individuals living with chronic conditions like diabetes, lung disease, or pre-existing heart issues. Doctors emphasize that COVID-19 is far more than a respiratory illness; the virus causes systemic inflammation, blood vessel damage, and clotting, all of which strain the heart. Crucially, vaccinated individuals also saw fewer health complications that were not directly linked to a diagnosed COVID-19 case, suggesting the vaccine may ward off damage from mild or undetected infections. These findings underscore that keeping up with vaccinations is a vital tool for long-term cardiovascular health.

ABC is asking viewers to help defend its local stations and “The View” as Disney’s fight with the Trump administration moves into a new public phase: https://t.co/vrhmDxsbMm
ABC: “Trump says the Reflecting Pool will have to be partially drained, blaming vandals without any evidence🙃… arresting people for touching peeled-off paint… companies were awarded millions in no-bid contracts despite having no experience…”
The Trump administration just paid Invenergy $765 million to cancel four wind projects. That brings the running total to roughly $2.5 billion in taxpayer money spent to stop energy from being built.
Think about that.
At a time when electricity demand is rising, the Trump administration is spending billions to reduce the amount of power that could reach the grid.
Trump has spent years attacking wind turbines as ugly and inefficient. He is entitled to his opinions about how they look. He is not entitled to make taxpayers finance those opinions.
Seven states have already sued over earlier agreements. Federal courts have repeatedly found legal defects in this administration’s efforts to halt offshore wind development. The administration has cited national security concerns while providing little public evidence to support them, and judges have said they were not convinced.
Strip away the politics and what remains is hard to defend.
Billions in taxpayer money paid to private companies to cancel planned energy projects during a period of rising demand.
Governments usually spend money to build things.
This administration is spending billions to make sure some things never get built.

He's worthless. He can't even latch the Medal of Honor because he's too fucking stupid so he ties it like a shoelace, like the moron he is. Beyond cringe.
SBC folks must open their eyes to the fact that one of your figureheads is actively attempting to mainstream an extremist, heretical faction. The danger here cannot be overstated. If you’re not familiar with Wilson, just scroll through the comments on Mohler’s post for a primer.
