Stacey was one of a kind because his passion was authentic and his ability to connect with so many was genuine. His knowledge of the game sometimes got overshadowed by his catch phrases. But man, he knew ball. He welcomed me to broadcast side and made me better RIP to an original

The NBA family mourns the passing of Stacey King, a three-time NBA champion and longtime Chicago Bulls television analyst. Stacey made his mark on the game as a player, coach and commentator. For more than 20 years on Bulls broadcasts, his passion, knowledge and unmistakable energy resonated with generations of fans. We extend our deepest condolences to Stacey’s family and friends and the Bulls organization.

We are devastated by the passing of 3x NBA Champion and beloved broadcaster Stacey King.

Correct.

Every single economist that has studied stadium subsidies has declared they are NOT positively impactful. Every single one. These projects happen because politicians know they’ll get very little blowback and Americans really like sports.

The man who spent a year literally begging for a Nobel peace prize is attacking the pope for advocating for…peace.

[Jack Hunter @jackhunter74]

Trump: I’m gonna wipe out an entire civilization.

Pope: That’s wrong.

Vance: The pope should stick to questions of morality.

Father John Lydon on Pope Leo: in Peru, we lived together during a time of terrorism and an authoritarian government, and violations of human rights. And he was in the main plaza of our city gathering signatures in defense of human rights, in the plaza surrounded by government buildings.

So this is not somebody who just woke up and decided, well, now is the time to speak about human rights. This is part of his identity…

He's going to continue to speak up based on the moral principles of the church, because that's what he was elected to do. That's what all the popes are supposed to do

[Jerusalem @JerusalemDemsas]

I don't think it's sunk in how insane it is that an American vice president was promoting a man who banned his opponent from appearing on TV.

[Jon Favreau @jonfavs]

Glad the Vice President clarified that he doesn't think waging war is a matter of morality

[Aaron Reichlin-Melnick @ReichlinMelnick]

Extremely funny coming from this DOJ, where it's so well-known that merit is irrelevant to getting jobs that Liberty University's law school sent around a message to students telling them "GPA is not a strong factor" for a DOJ internship because what matters is Trump support.

[Aaron Reichlin-Melnick @ReichlinMelnick]

Terrible conditions in immigration detention have become a cudgel for this admin's "self-deportation" agenda. ICE throws people in jail and tell them the only way they're getting out is to sign a paper agreeing to give up their right to a court hearing and a chance to stay.

[Christopher Hale @ChristopherHale]

The rich man in Luke’s parable does not oppress Lazarus.

He does not exploit him, rob him, or strike him. He does something worse. He walks past him. Every single day, he steps through his own front door, and there lies Lazarus — covered in sores, hungry, invisible — and the rich man does nothing. Not out of malice. Out of habit.

That is the sin the modern world has perfected.

We have built entire systems — economic, digital, architectural — designed to make the Lazaruses of the world disappear.

Algorithms curate our feeds so we see only what confirms our comfort. Gated communities wall off poverty from view.

Noise-canceling headphones drown out the man asking for change on the train. We have not become cruel. We have become comfortable.

And comfort, the Gospel tells us today, is the most dangerous spiritual condition there is. https://t.co/GgGgHgBgo9

This morning I called James and congratulated him on becoming the Senate nominee. Texas is primed to turn blue and we must remain united because this is bigger than any one person. This is about the future of all 30 million Texans and getting America back on track. With the primary behind us, Democrats must rally around our nominees and win. I’m committed to doing my part and will continue working to elect democrats up and down the ballot.

[Sarah Longwell @SarahLongwell25]

I would offer that Alex Pretti putting his body—with his hands up—between a woman and the BP agent who had just violently shoved her into the snow, offer stark competing visions of manhood. Pretti, a nurse caring for veterans, who took a face full of pepper spray to shield that woman, is a much better masculine ideal that the masked coward shoving the woman and executing a man on his knees. MAGA may venerate the latter, but most people in a healthy society want the former.

[Bill Kristol @BillKristol]

Too obvious a point even to make, perhaps. But there was no “unrest” in Minneapolis before ICE and CBP showed up. ICE and CBP are the cause of the chaos…and the killings.

Get them out of there.

[David Axelrod @davidaxelrod]

"Turning to Bovino, the Court specifically finds his testimony not credible. Bovino appeared evasive over the three days of his deposition, either providing 'cute' responses to Plaintiffs’ counsel’s questions or outright lying.”
U.S. District Judge Sarah Ellis in Chicago.

[Derek Thompson @DKThomp]

Even if you take the conservative defense of each ICE killing, you’re left with “We haphazardly scaled up a poorly trained police force to storm into neighborhoods that voted against the president, where we antagonize the local population until someone resists arrest, and then we kill them,” which is morally horrendous on top of being an absurd way to do immigration policy.

[Jason Furman @jasonfurman]

A terrific statement from a true statesman.

I am grateful for everything Chair Powell is doing to resist this outrageous attempt by the President to use lawfare to subvert the Fed’s responsibility to pursue the objectives set for it by law—maximum employment and price stability.
