The Spurs were frauds, which means the Thunder were frauds and the Timberwolves were frauds. The Cavs were frauds, which means the Pistons were frauds. The Sixers were frauds, which means the Celtics were frauds. There’s only one non-fraudulent team in the NBA:

THE KNICKS

[Daniel Block @dblock94]

So the real NBA finals was the Knicks series against the Hawks, just as everyone said.

How might the U.S.-Israeli war with Iran end? And what will happen to the regime and the region when it does? To find out, I spoke with @AOstovar and @SanamVakil for this week’s episode of the @ForeignAffairs podcast: https://t.co/AK9X2oMA8o

Incredible @BaltimoreBanner story about a 9-year-old boy, Tristan King, who has been living out on his own, eluding authorities, since September, through the harsh winter. The government even sent armed US marshals looking for him.

In 2008, billionaires funded .3% of all elections spending. In 2024, it was 19%. And where before the billionaire money was roughly split equally between the parties, now it's 5-to-1 GOP. https://t.co/YkP3HEvmSz

Operation Little Excursion

[Daniel Block @dblock94]

Among the things that could prove worse: an invasion or civil war

[Daniel Block @dblock94]

As awful as the regime is, this is not, in fact, the worst-case scenario. https://t.co/GddFqpo886

Trump: "I guess the worst case is we do this and then somebody takes over who is as bad as the previous person. That could happen."

[Daniel Block @dblock94]

@AlirezaNader @politico I’m trying to think through what the U.S. might do to successfully protect protesters while regime elements (whichever ones survive) fire on them, and it’s very hard to come up with an answer that doesn’t involve ground forces

[Daniel Block @dblock94]

Donald Trump wants Iranians to topple the regime. He thinks his bombing campaign will inspire them to do so—and help them succeed.

For @politico, I wrote about whether Iranians will do what he says, and whether revolution is, in fact, now easier: https://t.co/pDvKmSHLDA

[POLITICO @politico]

Trump called on Iranians to rise up and "take over your government."

History suggests that's much harder than it sounds. https://t.co/OARO47KiUH

[Daniel Block @dblock94]

If Iranians respond to America’s attacks by rising up and overthrowing the Islamic Republic, it will be the first time in history that a U.S. bombing campaign incited a revolution.
