Yeah why doesn’t every woman just marry a millionaire 40 years older than them and get knocked up like Karoline did?

One year ago today, Trump and Republicans passed the One Big Beautiful Bill Act, cutting healthcare by $1 trillion. Since then:

—The average cost of healthcare has doubled
—4.2 million Americans lost ACA coverage
—3.8 million Americans lost Medicaid coverage
—Nearly 500 hospitals, clinics, and nursing homes have closed

Fun fact: Madison Square Garden is available for anyone to rent out for $1M a day. Most of the people renting it (and yes, shutting down a few streets) do not reward the city with $26M in donations. Cry harder MAGA. 🤪

Look at this image. This is real and not photoshopped.

Scottie Pippen NEVER carried Michael Jordan the way Anthony Davis, Kyrie Irving, and Dwyane Wade carried LeBron James.

This is not up for debate, the stats totally back up my statement 100%

After sitting here watching NBA free agency this year and overall NBA movement over the past 2 years somebody has to say it....

The new CBA was sold as parity, but the first and second apron are starting to function like a hard cap on player value, team continuity, and player movement.

Teams are no longer making purely basketball decisions. They’re making fear-based apron decisions. That means good players get squeezed, homegrown cores get broken up, fan-favorite teams lose their identity, and the overall product loses some of the nostalgia and continuity that made people fall in love with the NBA in the first place.

This isn’t about players not understanding business. It’s the opposite. We understand that the NBA is a business. That’s why the @TheNBPA has to operate with elite business acumen, elite negotiating strategy, and real foresight.

The owners and the league walk into these meetings with killers that continue to run circles around us time and time again with elite lawyers, economists, cap experts, media strategists, and long term business operators. Players deserve a PA that is just as sharp, just as prepared, and just as aggressive about protecting our upside.

Too often, it feels like players are informed after the fact instead of being truly educated and empowered before decisions are made. That cannot continue.

The next CBA is a do or die moment for us as players. It's only going to get worse for us. We need transparency, accountability, and a serious re evaluation of who is representing us and how they are representing us.

This is not anti parity. This is pro player, fan, and product. The league is strongest when players are valued properly, great teams can stay together, and the people representing us are operating at the same level as the people sitting across the table.

DL Hughley on Clarence Thomas: “He’s literally a DEI hire. There’s nothing you could ask him to do that would hurt Black or brown people he wouldn’t do. I think Clarence Thomas, if he gets up in the middle of the night and sees a Black man in the mirror, he’ll call the police”

I’ll never forgive glitch Mitch McConnell for stealing Obama’s SCOTUS pick, claiming 8 months before the election was too close - then stealing Biden’s SCOTUS pick, claiming 8 days before the election wasn’t. He’s responsible for this shitshow.

If socialist policies are bad, why is the entire recruitment drive for our military about pointing out all the socialist benefits? Free healthcare, free college, free housing, etc.🤔

[Jacob @Jacobtheclipper]

This is why you can’t just look at the boxscore with LeBron. Dude is a net negative player and causes your team to lose but he makes sure his stats look good. Real hoopers know he’s a fraud, casuals obsess over his meaningless stats ✌️

Shaquille O'Neal says Penny Hardaway was Kobe Bryant before Kobe Bryant

“Penny, because of you, I have to curse so many little kids out. They ask me all the time, ‘Who's better, Penny or Kobe?’ I always say Penny was Kobe before Kobe”

“The kids before this social media era, they act like they don't understand what I'm telling. I have to tell them, ‘Do you have Google? Look and see who Penny was’”

“Remember, Penny came in day one like this. Kobe first year didn't start. Second year didn't start. Third year upstairs saying, ‘Okay, hey, it's time for him to play.’ Then he started, took him 600 to 900 days to become the Black Mamba. Penny came in Penny”

“I have to explain that to them all the time. I always want to give you your love. I'm always going to give you your props. I'm always going to remind these little dumb kids what greatness is all about”

Jeff Teague on Stephen A. Smith saying the Lakers can’t win with your 3 best players being white:

“You wildin’. N****s would’ve been tight if they would’ve been like how are you going to win in soccer with 5 black guys… How are you going to win with a black quarterback? It would’ve went crazy.”

They arrested a veteran for holding a sign on the steps of the Capitol, but pardoned insurrectionists who assaulted police officers and smeared shit on the walls of the Capitol.

@0xBassey It should be more than enough but that life style change that he mentions is why $100 million isn’t enough.
