Breaking News: House Republicans abruptly canceled a vote on a resolution directing President Trump to withdraw U.S. forces from Iran or win approval from Congress to continue the war, after it became clear they lacked the votes to defeat the measure. https://t.co/2YCMl8GIbj

I’ve been watching this game addictively since 1989 and I’ve never seen a player in the history of the NBA lean his feet in the defenders space and fall down after nearly every jumper like SGA does.

Play basketball man.

oh my god. was trump told to tell the press that the image was "doctored," but misunderstood and told everyone that he was depicted as a "doctor"?

I will die on the hill if you end up on the other side of the wall with the ball, that should be a HR. you didn’t prevent the ball from clearing the fence

NEW: It's now more lucrative to have a losing sports team than a championship team.

We examined the Boston Red Sox to see how private equity and cost cutting invaded sports.

In this era, teams want to sell good players for profit more than they want to have a good season.

This is what people mean when say “unethical” hoops. This is simply not Basketball. Try to stick your arm underneath someone else’s to make it look like you got hooked. No real effort to try and get by them. Call it crafty if you want, I say it’s lazy.

A HISTORIC COMEBACK FOR THE WOLVES ‼️

After trailing 108-95 with 3:01 left in OT, Minnesota went on a 15-0 run to win 110-108.

The 13-point OT comeback is the largest in the PxP era (1997-98) 🤯

There’s a growing obsession with pouring hundreds of millions into state-of-the-art sports facilities, as if elite players are manufactured by architecture and price tags. Football investors, in particular, love to unveil these massive projects with the same promise: this investment will pay for itself by producing top-tier talent. It sounds compelling, but it fundamentally misunderstands how player development actually works.

Elite players aren’t the product of pristine buildings or exclusive complexes. They emerge from repetition, freedom, and access, thousands of unstructured hours with the ball, often in small, tight spaces, long before they ever set foot in a high-performance center. By the time a player reaches one of these facilities, most of the real development has already happened.

If investors truly understood this, their strategy would look very different. Instead of concentrating resources into a single, expensive hub, they would decentralize access. They’d build dozens, hundreds, of small, free, local pitches embedded in communities. Places where kids can show up anytime, play without barriers, and fall in love with the game on their own terms.

Because the real lever isn’t luxury, it’s volume, accessibility, and environment. The next generation of elite players won’t come from marble-floored academies. They’ll come from the streets, the cages, and the small-sided pitches where the game is played constantly, creatively, and without permission.

Graham Platner: “The anti-trans campaign in Maine is funded by an out-of-state billionaire to make sure we have this discussion and we don’t talk about raising his taxes. That’s why it exists. I think there are like two trans kids that compete in high school sports in Maine? There are 40K Mainers who are going to lose healthcare because of the lack of the ACA extension. One of those things seems very important and real to me. One of them seems like an invented culture war scare to keep people divided”

Talarico: They're going to throw everything they have at us. They're going to call me a radical leftist. They're going to call me a fake Christian. They'll call our movement un-American. They'll call us a threat. The only truth is we are a threat to their corrupt system.

No, Ted, my friends died as and will always be United States Marines, you despicable fuck.

[Brian Schatz @brianschatz]

I just don’t think this guy is kidding about trying to take over elections, consolidate media, control AI and crypto for corrupt goals, and divide this country right down the middle. And I think a lot of super smart and decent people are trying not to believe their own eyes.

[Mehdi Hasan @mehdirhasan]

This is the world we live in - a Republican senator lies on live TV, gets caught lying, and just carries on blissfully, changing the topic, no correction or apology or admission. No consequences. No shame. Nothing.

[Jake Sherman @JakeSherman]

Totally forgot about this.

The retirement savings accounts that Trump announced last night were already signed into law by President Joe Biden.

It was part of a big funding bill that Congress passed in 2022.

Hear me out

Oregon Washington UCLA and USC since they have been struggling with these road trips should form a new conference with some of those ACC teams that have struggling as well with travel (Stanford and Cal) that way they can limit travel and improve their performance

[Adam Cochran (adamscochran.eth) @adamscochran]

Yes - you do use an ID to vote in Congress..

With:

* A free ID paid for by the government.

* That they make sure you have received.

* In a voter roll you are automatically on and not purged from when eligible.

* With processes to manage your vote if you forget /lose your ID.

If you want mandatory voter ID, then include those kinds of provisions.

Otherwise you're just trying to make voter suppression easier.

[Mike Young @micyoung75]

Mike Lee’s “shaking” sarcasm about House photo IDs misses a key detail.

Members of Congress don’t pay for those cards. They don’t wait in line at the DMV. They don’t dig up birth certificates from the 1940s or explain why their married name doesn’t match a decades-old form.

They’re handed an ID when they’re sworn in.

Millions of voters? They face fees, document gaps, travel time, and bureaucracy just to prove what Congress already knows about its own members.

So no, this isn’t a gotcha. It’s a reminder that privilege isn’t a valid blueprint for public policy.

That’s the message, right there

Won’t matter. His name is on the next page too.

Thanks to Trump, right-wing multibillionaire Larry Ellison will now control the TikTok algorithm, along with:

This is what Oligarchy looks like.
