Q: The NBA Finals game you're going to, the cheapest ticket price is $8,000. Everyday Americans can't afford these sporting events.

TRUMP: You can watch it on TV. It's sort of semi-free to watch it on TV. That's the way life goes.

[Mayor Zohran Kwame Mamdani @NYCMayor]

The countdown to the beautiful game starts now.

This is a fight over who controls the future: the people or the powerful elite

[Mayor Zohran Kwame Mamdani @NYCMayor]

Today, I signed an Executive Order temporarily repealing bedtimes in the City of New York so that kids of all ages can watch our team in the NBA Finals.

As Mayor, you’re forced to make many difficult decisions. This was not one of them.

Go Knicks.

Windhorst: "I talked to some Knicks coaches…

When they changed the offense to go thru KAT

It wasn't just give the ball to KAT

It was also run action off ball

Moving Brunson around…
Moving OG…
Mikal…
Josh…

They love it

They. Love. It.

So that engages them on D…

So now when they get a rebound…

They're tearing off to the other end…

Because they wanna get down there

Because they know

They're gonna be involved…

So…why does it take 90% of the season for that to happen?

IDK why…

But it happened.

Not only has it unlocked their talent

It's unlocked their chemistry…

Now you watch them play

And it's one giant party"

[NEW YORK KNICKS @nyknicks]

see you there 🧡💙

this is the greatest video i've ever seen

[Tommy Beer @TommyBeer]

I will never, ever, for the rest of my life, ever get tired of watching clips from “The Comeback”

Send me them all. Every angle.

This is one great.

Just crowd noise up in the bleeds and Rocky music *chefs kiss*

Hello @JeffBezos, since you question the results of our studies on the unfairness of the US tax system, please allow me to remind you of the main conclusions of our work, the most comprehensive research to date on this issue.

Knicks fans need to organize and make sure James Harden gets back to the hotel safe & sound. Send him room service, police escort to the arena, rename it Madison Square Harden for the next week.

Mayor Zohran Mamdani mocks Ronald Reagan’s infamous quote.

“I can think of nine words more terrifying than ‘I’m from the government and I’m here to help…’”

“I worked all day and can’t feed my family.”

Admin postings went up this week; attorney and investigator postings are imminent. If you are a barred attorney, HR professional, union staffer, or a person with any interest in labor and are wanting to work for the NLRB, get your resume ready and begin checking USAJobs.

AOC: “America was founded in revolt of British aristocracy. The American Revolution was against the billionaires of their time. It’s actually the most American thing in the world for us to be fighting for the working class. It’s actually patently un-American to transform our country into a place of kings and landed gentry”

[Marco Foster @MarcoFoster_]

AOC: “We need to be centering the humanity of these people because they are Americans. You’re gonna tell me that someone came here at 2-years-old and has gone through American schools, someone who’s come here with nothing but the shirt on their back and they’ve been doing nothing but caring for other people’s grandparents and building American homes and putting themselves through school, and you’re gonna tell me that’s not American?”

[Bhaskar Sunkara @sunraysunray]

Really interesting exchange, and it's refreshing to see an interview with a politician that isn't full of softballs.

[Aaron Rupar @atrupar]

Obama: "What I'm more interested in for Democrats is, do you know how to just talk to regular people like we're not in a college seminar? Can you talk in plain English to folks? And not have a bunch of gobbledygook around it. Just talk like normal people talk. 'The rent is too high.'"

[Ed Krassenstein @EdKrassen]

Trump just mocked a little girl for being short, and stomped on her ambitions.

Little Girl: “I play volleyball and in the summer I’m trying to get into soccer.”

Trump: “And with your height do you smash the volleyball. Can you get up high? Can you jump high?”

Little Girl: “Not very.”

Trump: “Soccer might be better.”

BREAKING: 615 workers for Hachette Book Group are unionizing with @CWAUnion @newsguild @WBNG32035.

[Arash Azizi آرش عزیزی @arash_tehran]

He did so by breaking from a sacrosanct (and stupid) principle many American leftists had held to for decades: “Don’t run in the two party system”
