Richard Jefferson & Iman Shumpert reminisce about their legendary 2016 championship with the Cavs and reveal the speech Lebron used to motivate them to come back from down 3-1 against the Warriors 🔥
Shumpert also couldn’t stop VIOLATING Draymond Green for getting suspended in game 5 of the series and wasting his amazing game 7 performance 💀🤣
“He starts explaining, I was like ‘I don’t think I wanna be the guys on the other side with the pressure…’ We start dialing it up. Draymond suspended himself… That was dumb.”
🔔 From @JuddLegum: “No, Trump's $1.776 billion slush fund isn't 'dead' — Without a written reversal, Blanche could simply say that the DOJ’s position has changed and the fund will move forward.”

So let me get this straight.
Jake Tapper is focused on attacking my Mom.
Jared and Ivanka are building a private island paradise on Albanian protected land.
Don Jr married the daughter of Epstein’s banker, and a startup his fund backs just got a record $620M Pentagon loan.
Eric is taking an Israeli drone company public for $1.5B in the middle of a war with Iran that nobody wanted.
And I know: “But what about your paintings, Hunter?”
Please.
New statement from Scott Pelley:
There has never been anything in America like 60 Minutes.
The Sunday tradition is the most successful program of any kind in history. For more than a decade, its innovative growth on every major online platform has extended its reach to countless millions around the world. This spring, at the end of our 58thseason, 60 Minutes grew rapidly with an unheard-of 9% jump in viewers on CBS.
“60” has been the number-one program in America for decades because our beloved audience finds integrity, quality, and humanity in our stories. When stewardship of the program passed to my colleagues and me, our responsibility was to expand energetically into a new age of media technology while preserving the values our audience expects. Now, the new owner of our network is casting this legend aside, apparently to curry a moment of favor with the Trump administration.
The waste is heartbreaking.
Last month, 60 Minutes lost its DNA when our entire senior leadership and two of our best on-air correspondents were cruelly fired without cause. Good people were silenced because they stood up for our audience. They stood for fairness against the forces of political bias; they stood for professionalism against chaos.
For my part, new management has instructed me to inject falsehoods and bias into a politically sensitive story. I’ve been told to include assertions that are unverified. To date, in every case, I have managed to ignore these instructions or refuse them. Recently, politicians have been invited to choose correspondents for interviews on the broadcast. Giving politicians control over 60 Minutes interviews is not how this is done. Finally, incompetence and unprofessionalism in the new management have wreaked havoc. In a case involving one of my stories, the entire program came within 19 minutes of not getting on the air at all.
At 60 Minutes, we have fought harder than anyone knows to save the program that became an American icon. We owed that to our millions of viewers. I am deeply moved by the thousands of wishes we have received to “keep up the good fight.” Most of the men and women of CBS News are still in that fight. But now the collapse of values at the top has become untenable. The leadership of 60 Minutes is no longer recognizable. The principles I hold dear are gone, and so I must leave as well.
I depart after 37 years at CBS with one emotion—a heart brimming with gratitude for the men and women of CBS News who encouraged and enriched my work, very often at the risk of their own lives. I pray for a day when those people and their ideals are honored again—a day when sanity, competence, and courage return.

🔥 🎯 TAYLOR WATSON: “A country that can fund endless wars at the drop of a hat but debates every dime someone wants to allocate towards health care or education doesn't have a budget problem. It has a morality problem. Hope that helps.”
Competitive balance matters. Another data point: 24 of the last 30 Super Bowl winners have hailed from small- or medium- markets. The NFL also features greatest *negative* delta between large- and small-market reg. season success over last decade. Since 1994, NFL league revenues have 11x'd. 1,000% growth. https://t.co/gh5Jnb9Zhy
🔥 TRUMP VOTERS MAD ABOUT DATA CENTERS: “My entire community is gonna to break ranks (and vote for @jamestalarico). All of us. We’ve had enough… Trump doesn’t care about us.”
This week alone:
DOJ opens an investigation into the woman Trump raped.
The White House is caught steering a $620 million contract to Don Jr.’s firm.
The Pentagon hands out a $10 billion contract after Trump buys stock in the company.
Foreign governments are caught funneling hundreds of millions into a random JPMorgan account tied to Trump’s “Board of Peace” with no oversight.
It’s just Thursday.
The corruption isn’t hidden anymore. It’s happening out in the open.
Under Joe Biden and Kamala Harris, Black unemployment reached its lowest level ever recorded in history. Now under trump, our voting rights are under attack, he’s ordered museums to change the way they cover slavery, he orchestrated the largest mass firing of Black workers in history, and has drastically cut funding to HBCUs. He is leading and encouraging a war against our community.
