I mean, two questionable fouls on KAT in 17 seconds and suddenly the guy he's been dominating catches fire with him on the bench.

I know it gets old blaming officials, but this has been suspect and it's affecting the scoreboard.

[Mike Levin @MikeLevin]

This is so insanely corrupt, I can’t even believe it.

More than half the donors to Trump’s $400 million White House ballroom just won over $50 billion in new federal contracts in six months.

And here’s the part that should make your blood boil.

Sixteen of these 27 donors were facing federal enforcement actions, antitrust reviews, labor cases, securities charges. Many of those cases have been quietly dropped or scaled back since Trump took office. You write a check, your legal problems disappear. That’s not a coincidence.

The White House won’t even release the full donor list. They’re hiding it on purpose, because daylight is the one thing pay-to-play can’t survive. A federal judge already ruled ballroom construction has to stop until Congress authorizes it.

Government is supposed to serve the people, not auction itself off to the highest bidder. When access goes to whoever pays the most, working families always end up paying the price.

We either end the corruption, or the corruption will end us.

@goatcollect 100%. Same here. My Knicks love and nostalgia is amplified 10x by my son being as big a Knicks fan as myself. I want so badly to be able to experience a title with him.

Don’t forget when Rome was collapsing emperors would use Gladiator fights to distract the people from the Corruption of the State at that time! This is all starting to make sense now. Who agrees?

Researchers who study how democracies die for a living have now said this publicly: America's authoritarian turn in 2025 was faster and farther- reaching than Venezuela under Chávez, Turkey under Erdoğan, or Hungary under Orbán in their first year. Not comparable to them. Faster than them. And the people who spent their careers warning that it could happen here are now saying it has. The question is no longer whether the line was crossed.

The question is whether enough people care before the crossing becomes permanent

This is what Trump's done to the people's house:

A third of it is rubble.

Another third is a cage match.

What a metaphor.

[The Lincoln Project @ProjectLincoln]

The Republican Party quietly deleted their own ad attacking Ken Paxton's record on crime... because Paxton is now the Republican Party's nominee to represent Texas in the U.S. Senate.

Figured if the ad is important enough to delete, it's important enough to see...

Dr. Craig Spencer is a public health professor and emergency medicine physician at Brown University who survived Ebola in 2014. He says it's not a coincidence that the world is seeing a new outbreak of the disease, as well as hantavirus and rising rates of measles in the United States.

"If you recall, it was just over a year ago that Elon Musk gleefully declared that they were throwing USAID into the wood chipper. And you may recall that Elon Musk also sheepishly said at his first Cabinet meeting that he mistakenly canceled Ebola prevention but turned it back on. For many folks, the story ended there, but what actually happened was there was an Ebola outbreak, and DOGE and Elon Musk cut all the support that we normally would have been giving to respond to that Ebola outbreak. The result was that exactly USAID, who in the past would have been supporting things like airport screening in Uganda, was not providing that logistical or financial support. USAID and other partners would have been providing support to make sure testing was adequate, to make sure a vaccine rollout could have taken place, but we didn’t have USAID on the ground.

"Similarly, CDC has long had relationships in this part of the continent, in Congo and in Uganda, and a lot of those relationships have broken down and withered over the past year, because we just haven’t been paying. Similarly, the U.S. has pulled out of the World Health Organization over the last year, which means that in normal circumstances our CDC folks are not able to even talk to World Health Organization people, something that is absolutely unbelievable and an incredible mistake for something that we should be able to do and be prepared for at all points.

"And the result is what we’ve seen over the past couple of weeks with hantavirus, we’ve seen with the dramatic increase in number of measles cases in the U.S., and now Ebola in DR Congo and across the border in Kampala. This is not all just a coincidence. This is a consequence of us cutting back our support, not only here at home, but also abroad.

@AnthonyMSG Living in that "is this really happening" moment after every game. And loving the fact that my son has grown into such a big fan and we get to share this ride together!

[Sen. Bernie Sanders @SenSanders]

If you give a politician $5 to influence a vote, it’s bribery.

If billionaires spend $50 million to influence an election, it’s legal.

That is what a corrupt campaign finance system looks like.

They want you to forget. They don’t want you to see this.

Keep sharing this so we can’t forget what they did to us that day.

@JCMacriNBA Don't have to tell you, New Yorkers are great sports fans. They love the Yankees and Mets. They love the Giants and Jets. They love the Rangers and Islanders. But the love for the Knicks has always been on such another level. Such a passionate, amazing fan base! Lets go Knicks!
