BREAKING: In a stunning moment, Donald Trump was just mercilessly booed at the Finals game tonight. No surprises here. Americans are sick of Trump’s BS.
Never heard cheering for a team and booing at a president so loud and intense as in Madison Square Garden during the national anthem at Spurs-Knicks game 3. #txlege
.@RepJeffries: "It also is not clear to me that Donald Trump is a big Knicks fan. I mean does this guy even know the difference between Karl Rove and Karl-Anthony Towns?!? I don't think so. He's just injecting himself into the NBA Finals because he always has to bring the MAGA circus into town and that's unfortunate."

Happy National Best Friends Day to Ken Paxton and his partner in crime, Nate Paul 💙
From allegedly paying to renovate Paxton’s mansion to hiring his mistress, no friendship in Texas history has been more corrupt.
Trump wants to make tonight about him.
But tonight is about New York.
It’s about celebrating the Knicks and the loyal fans who have waited over 25 years for the NBA Finals to return to MSG.
BREAKING: Ken Paxton’s own lawyer just endorsed James Talarico:
“I defended Ken Paxton for years in the impeachment trial and in state criminal cases. But in my view, I think Ken has lost sight of his core mission, which is to represent the people of Texas.
And unlike Ken, I believe that you, James, believe in unity over division and that you know how to assemble not only Democrats but Independents and Republicans and we need that right now.
We need unity, we don't need any more division and that's why I'm supporting you.”
Trump is my hero, what a great @POTUS Thank you @realDonaldTrump I believe you can start using the full weight of the federal government against this public corruption. They’re not democrats; they’re crooks. You have America’s support to clean up their corruption and hold them accountable for their crimes.
The White House-inspired redistricting plan in Texas may be helping James Talarico's chances of winning a U.S. Senate seat in ways that the Democrat would have been hard-pressed to pull off by himself. https://t.co/X1qnUrIdbT
Lucky Joe and @bobbypulido425 will open the Texas Democratic Convention with a welcome concert at 7pm on June 25th.
The concert is free to attend, but VIP seating is available for purchase: https://t.co/Vi116jyOK4
The #txlege knew this was coming, and lawmakers have been sounding the alarm for more than a year.
Texas leadership chose to spend its time pushing racist gerrymandering, voucher scams, and other MAGA priorities instead of focusing on preparedness and demanding action from both Trump’s USDA and state agencies.
This was never a question of if it would reach our doorstep - it was when. The failure to prepare is a failure of leadership, and its Texas families, ranchers, farmers, and consumers who will pay the price.
Texans deserve leaders who prioritize protecting our economy, food supply, and communities.
Leaders who work for us, not Trump.

That is some wild, unhinged stuff from the President.
Welker is a good person and honest journalist and didn’t deserve that but more importantly we have a president who constantly pushes conspiracy theories with zero evidence and can’t respond when politely challenged on that.
The president is really messing up the fun for New York Knicks fans with his plan to attend game three of the NBA finals Monday at Madison Square Garden. Folks who are paying between $10,000 and $60,000 for a ticket will be required to show up at least two hours before tipoff for TSA-style screening at MSG. A no bag policy will be strictly enforced. Trump has been urged not to go and create such a spectacle at an event where he can expect to be booed like never before. This could be a major distraction for the home team that leads the series 2-0. #txlege
WATCH: “Where’s the evidence? You’ve never presented any evidence.”
Unhinged, lying Trump has a MELTDOWN and WALKS OFF when @kwelkernbc refuses to let him get away with lying about rigged elections.
Finally some pushback.
President Donald Trump - his face aglow in orange - had a good old fashion meltdown on Meet the Press today before berating a journalist for NBC and storming off the set. Trump came apart when Kristen Welker pressed him for evidence to support his claims of rigged elections in the United States. Trump said he'd already presented the evidence and ended the rant with this ...
"Your elections in this country - we're like a third world country. Your elections are crooked - and you're crooked - and Meet the Press is crooked - and so is ABC - and CBS - and CNN." #txlege
