The #antivax crowd likes to pretend like illness and death didn't exist before the COVID vaccines. All it shows is they are horribly uninformed which is no surprise given their stance on vaccines 🤦🏼‍♂️ #COVIDIOTS

There are ~350,000 sudden cardiac deaths (SCD) each year in the US (almost 1000 per day).

Most SCD occurs in older people with known coronary disease, but, sadly a minority of sudden deaths occur in the young.

Roughly 1500 people under 25 die of SCD each year in the US.

Bobby Witt Jr. has a Grade 1 MCL sprain. No move expected as of now. We’ll hear more soon. #Royals

Messi has more wins at Arrowhead stadium than Derek Carr 🤯

Let me get this straight: it was too expensive to cancel up to $400 billion in student loan debt (which would have freed up the spending power of millions of Americans so money going back into the economy). So instead, [checks notes] we're going to give $300 billion to Iran.

We all know how this ends 💔💔

This is also JJ’s fifth year as GM. He doesn’t need seven years to develop a farm system.

He hasn’t drafted well enough and he hasn’t traded expiring players to bolster the pipeline.

He’s failing bigtime.

Matt Quatraro says Vinnie Pasquantino underwent hamate surgery this morning. Timeline is roughly 4-6 weeks.

He said Kris Bubic was seen by a doctor, had another MRI. Nothing structurally wrong. Going to play catch today and continue his progression as symptoms allow.

Aldon Smith’s friend, Amir, talks about Aldon’s final hours:

“Amir Shirazi walked out of his Los Gatos house Saturday morning and found his massive friend Aldon Smith, slumped over in the front passenger seat of his white Chevy pickup. He thought Smith was asleep, his mouth open, his 6-foot-4 frame slightly twitching. Shirazi said he quickly knew something was wrong. He thought it was possibly a seizure, and then maybe a massive heart attack. Shortly before noon, Shirazi told the Chronicle in an exclusive interview, he called 911 and summoned former 49ers running back Anthony Dixon to the scene to assist him in CPR. Less than an hour later, Smith would be declared dead at Good Samaritan Hospital in San Jose. His cause and manner of death are pending, according to Santa Clara County’s chief medical examiner. He was 36 years old.

On Saturday, Shirazi picked up Smith and the pair delivered 10 Little Caesars pizzas to Scott Wagers, the co-founder of CHAM Deliverance Ministry, a local charity that feeds the homeless. Wagers, who had never met Smith, had no idea the former NFL star would be there and was excited. Smith wore a throwback New York Knicks jersey (Willis Reed’s No. 19), blue shorts and a pair of Air Jordan shoes, posing for a few photos for Wagers. But Wagers sensed something may have been off that morning, he told the Chronicle. “He got out of the car and he looked maybe kind of tired,” Wagers said, “but he’s a giant man. I’m like, 'Hey man, are you good? Are you good?' and I said, 'Can I take some pictures?' So we took some pictures, we got the pizzas with my team, and we went and took all the pizza out there.”

The pair left and Shirazi drove them to a grocery store, his gas station Moe’s Stop in San Jose and then his house in Los Gatos.
“We were joking about life and talking about stuff right before,” Shirazi said of the drive.
At the house, Shirazi ran inside to turn on some lights and returned to his pickup to find Smith slumped over. “He was perfectly fine an hour before,” Shirazi said. “I came out and he was basically dead in my front seat,” he said. “I’m just in shock.”

Paramedics took Smith to Good Samaritan Hospital where he was declared dead at 12:46 p.m., according to Michelle Jorden, the county’s chief medical examiner. “The Office of the Medical Examiner is confirming the death of 36-year-old Aldon Jacarus Ramon Smith, who died today June 13, 2026,” Jorden wrote in a statement. “The Medical Examiner is investigating his death, and no further information is available at this time. The cause and manner of death are pending.”

Former NFL veteran Aldon Smith has died, the #49ers have announced. Horribly sad.

#Royals news to monitor:

-- RHP Seth Lugo was placed on 7-day concussion injured list. He is experiencing headaches and symptoms worsened.

-- LHP Kris Bubic will not make 2nd rehab start. His forearm/elbow are good. It's now his shoulder that is bothering him. Will see docs.

BREAKING: Donald Trump reportedly told aides he was unhappy with Charlie Kirk and other influential supporters for alleging a Jeffrey Epstein cover-up, and called Kirk to reprimand him just weeks before his assassination, according to New York Times journalists Maggie Haberman and Jonathan Swan.

[Kyle Thomas @dihardkc]

Don't look now but Jac now has a higher OPS than Bobby and that's not a bad problem #royals

[kennedi landry @kennlandry]

Seth Lugo just took a 106.6 mph liner from Brandon Nimmo off his head. Lugo got up quick, but had a sizeable lump on his forehead. He's coming out of the game.

Nimmo sprinted to the mound to check on Lugo afterwards. The two were teammates on the Mets from 2016-22.

The new money on Patrick Mahomes’ deal is worth $239.05 million, with the total value now at $504.75 million from 2026-33, with the first four years being guaranteed at signing. All $504.75 million becomes guaranteed through contract mechanisms.

Mahomes can earn up to $522.25 through incentives and escalators. Beginning in 2027, when the new money begins, the deal averages $64M per year, setting a new NFL record for average annual value.

[Adam Schefter @AdamSchefter]

Record deal: The Chiefs are adding two years to Patrick Mahomes’ contract, tying him to Kansas City through the 2033 season at a value of $504.75 million, making it the first NFL deal valued at over a half-billion dollars, per @RapSheet and me.

Equity Sports CEO Chris Cabott, and Chiefs GM Brett Veach and his staff, put the finishing touches on the landmark agreement today.

I was on the Covid "front line" too and I can confirm that what this nurse is saying isn't absolutely, 100%, completely and utterly NOT TRUE

[Natania Marshall ✞ @NataniaMarshall]

CIA was created in 1947

Israel was created in 1948

Mossad was created in 1949

Nothing weird to see here.

97 out of 100 Senators campaigns were funded by AIPAC.

That’s all I’m gonna say.

[Suppressed News. @SuppressedNws1]

Trump today claimed he “didn’t promise anything” about NO NEW WARS.

So here’s a second compilation showing FIFTY times during his campaign where he PROMISED exactly that.
