Karl-Anthony Towns on losing his mom.

"I feel like other than losing a child, there's nothing worse you could go through, and it builds you up, and it strengthens you beyond measure. That's why I got Philippians 4:13 and the date tattooed on my neck. I could do all things through Christ who strengthens me, but I was strengthened on April 13 when I lost my mother. That's been my favorite Bible verse my whole entire life since I was little. I didn't know the significance it would have in my life when I became an adult. But what I do know is that I truly can do anything when I walk in faith, when I walk with the angels beside me. I feel anything's possible, I feel nothing's impossible."

@ChicagoBears The bears are one of the NFL’s oldest franchises. NFL fans deserve a @nflcommish that’s willing to put their foot down and stop teams from doing galactically stupid things like this.

I just went 72-10, think you can go 82-0? https://t.co/0I4GEUL3he #NBA #82and0

I hope the pro-life crowd gets behind programs like this.

[More Perfect Union @MorePerfectUS]

A program giving cash assistance to pregnant women in Flint, Michigan, was found to lower the rate of premature births, according to a study by The Lancet.

The program gave women $1,500 during pregnancy and $500 a month for a baby’s first year, and is expanding to 42 cities.

Not a good sign for independent journalism

[CNN Breaking News @cnnbrk]

Veteran "60 Minutes" correspondent Scott Pelley was fired by CBS after a clash with management over his criticism of the newsmagazine's new leadership. https://t.co/zjNzwOaEDY

@DbacksStatsInfo I think a salary floor will help more players than a salary cap would hurt them. I understand it’s a principle thing to players though. If they give in on a salary cap, they should ask for a very high floor and everything else they can think of

@RazorbackSB Amazing season! Thank you all

[Daniel @danielstave]

@ByPatForde Is Texas really upset that they got left because they lost to Florida?

If you think you deserve a chance to play for a title, you can’t lose to a mediocre team. Even if they’re better than their record, you should win. You had a chance to make the playoff, but you lost

[Daniel @danielstave]

@ByPatForde Would the 6th best team in the Sec beat the 3rd/4th best Big 12/ACC team? Probably. Should that hypothetical matter to the selection committee? No. I don’t care how good your conf is, if you’re not one of the 3-4 best teams then you can’t complain about getting left out

Yay! Rideshare apps have gotten away treating their employees as trash while raking in billions for too long

[The Boston Globe @BostonGlobe]

Uber and Lyft drivers in Massachusetts have officially unionized, a first-in-the-nation move that now sets up what could be the final stage in a years-long organizing effort. https://t.co/RvqLkJUt76

So many stories like this

[Kenneth P. Vogel @kenvogel]

NEW: The tobacco company Reynolds American donated $5M to the Trump-backed super PAC MAGA Inc. on 4/30/2026.

8 days later, the Trump administration rolled out a new policy that could be lucrative for Reynolds by allowing it to begin selling flavored vapes https://t.co/tAivofBoaG

Trump vs. police officers. I wonder which side the Back The Blue crowd will take?

[CNN Breaking News @cnnbrk]

Police officers who defended the US Capitol on Jan. 6 sue to block Trump's $1.8 billion "anti-weaponization" fund. https://t.co/r6jjaRoyMy

[Warren Gunnels @GunnelsWarren]

Bernie's 5% wealth tax would:
-Raise starting teacher pay to $60,000
-Give $12,000 to a working family of 4
-Expand Medicare for dental, vision, hearing
-Guarantee universal childcare
-End homelessness

Bezos would see his wealth drop from $279 billion to $265 billion. Poor guy.

[Derek Thompson @DKThomp]

Within one 24 hour period, Trump:

- got out of a $100 million IRS fine
- secured "immunity" from all future tax investigations for his family and friends
- created a $1.8 billion slush fund for lawbreaking supporters
- was reported for likely insider trading worth nearly $1 billion

All of the obvious things to say about this are true. It's bad. Nobody even tries to defend it. The closest thing to a defense you get is something about how "but Democrats suck" and "woke was also bad," which is not a defense, but rather a kind of moral blank check made out to the administration to give them the right to do anything.

But what I'm most curious about is whether this sort of lurid corruption creates a countermovement that successfully returns government to rule of law or whether it's establishing a norm of executive imperialism that every future administration will use to achieve its ends, which can always be justified by the moral blank check of "the other side is worse, so let us do whatever we want."
