Happy Bobby Bonilla Deferral Day: Bonilla is set to collect another $1.193 million from the New York Mets today, as he will each July 1st through the year 2035.
Cleveland Cavaliers' James Harden is declining his $42.3 million player option for 2026-27 and the sides are working through a new multiyear deal together, sources tell ESPN.
This is the most corrupt words to come out of a Speaker's mouth imaginable. The job of Congress isn't to protect the President and his family. It's to provide checks and balances on the Executive Branch. You're damn right we will investigate crimes and corruption. Who moved $180 million in oil futures 15 minutes before Iran announcements? Who has gotten sole source contracts because of their connections to the Trump family? Where did our social security data go when DOGE downloaded it into portable hard drives? Where are the rest of the Epstein files? On and on this Congress has chosen covering up crimes instead of stopping them. That ends in November. @WellmanForMO
Mike Johnson: "If we were to lose the midterms, heaven forbid, these Democrats…will turn every committee of Congress into an investigative body and they will go after the president's family, the cabinet, his donors, and friends. Half of you in this room will be targeted. I run the protection program. I'll take care of you."
It was great catching up with Matt Barnes and Stephen Jackson on Home Court at the Obama Presidential Center. We spoke about the game we love, what it means to open the Center in Chicago, and why understanding our history is so important for navigating the world today. We had a lot of fun—check out our conversation on @allthesmokeprod: https://t.co/IPjhq5sfSi
To George and Laura, Bill and Hillary — we're grateful for your friendship, counsel, and devotion to this country. And to Joe and Jill, thank you for being on this journey with us.

People can go on a million podcasts talkin about you and your kids. Tweets and songs.
You finally say one thing to each of them, poking holes in they arguments after not saying nothin for years.
And they call you insecure
So now Akademiks is starting a smear campaign against Jay-Z because he spit a few bars at Drake. Enough is enough of this nigga. I’m done with these pathetic slimy antics. Him and his flunky Akademiks TV. Look at him going in his computer pretended he doesn’t already know the hit piece he’s about to launch. Their creepy underhanded way of functioning in hip hop has to end. It’s time to get this douchebag out of the culture. He gotten to attack people in Drake’s name and stir the conversation for far too long.
“Bringing in James Harden to win a championship is like electing Donald Trump to fix your country.”
