Both WNBA Finals teams run off the court moments before the national anthem for the second straight game, returning seconds after the performance ends.
@Outkick video shows players from the Atlanta Dream and Golden State Valkyries are noticeably absent during the anthem ahead of Game 2, as Grammy-winning singer Alanis Morissette performs.
The repeated absence comes despite a WNBA rulebook requirement that players, coaches and trainers stand along the sidelines or foul line during the national anthem.

If you bank at JPMorgan Chase, Bank of America, U.S. Bank, Citibank, or Wells Fargo AND you're conservative. I would find a new place to put your money TODAY.
A federal regulator just found that America's biggest banks have been targeting conservatives. Some even flagged words like "MAGA" and "America First" as "reputational risks".
Where did the banks get that pressure to flag these words? Straight from the regulators in our government that watch over the banks.
While investigating Donald Trump, Jack Smith’s team collected personal records on over 639,000 Republican voters and donors. Home addresses, birth dates, credit card records... if you bought a MAGA hat or donated even $5, the federal government put your name on a spreadsheet. Big Tech tracks you, the Feds list you, and Big Banks flag you. It’s a complete surveillance apparatus targeted at one half of the country. Jack Smith needs to be held accountable. And so do these banks.
I bank with U.S. Bank. Today, I’m calling a Vice President there to ask one simple question: What are you doing to make sure your bank isn't feeding this weaponized system? If they can't prove their CEO is doing everything they can to fight this overreach, I’m pulling every single dime and moving it somewhere else.
🚨BREAKING: The four FEMA employees who sent $59,000,000 to luxury hotels in NYC for illegal immigrants have been FIRED according to DHS.
"These 4 employees circumvented DHS leadership and unilaterally made egregious payments to hotels for illegals in NYC..."
GOOD RIDDANCE!!!!
“You used to have to be quiet when you were racist. You don’t have to be quiet anymore,” Charles Barkley said.
“I think that’s why he can get he’s gotten away with more. Like, people who are racist, they feel confident and comfortable being racist."
THEN: Tim Walz signs “Driver’s Licenses for All” law, allowing illegal aliens to obtain free government-issued photo IDs.
NOW: Minnesota election officials confirm that illegal aliens can vote in state elections using those driver’s licenses.
But I was told this can’t happen?
@CoachForGov This November’s election in Alabama or any state is the choice between saving America from “radical and crazy” or maintaining our republic for at least one more election cycle.
We are that close to being on the verge of further decline.
@CoachForGov you got this!
Doug, in his brief time in the Senate, voted with Chuck Schumer on final passage 95% of the time. Crazy.
Alabama voters saw what they needed to see.
Then, after he lost to me in 2020, he went to work for the Center for American Progress. Radical.
Doug met with CAIR at a mosque...CAIR, of course, has been designated as a domestic terrorist organization by Governor DeSantis in Florida. Radical.
Doug called Joe Biden one of the
"Top 5 Presidents of All Time". Yes, Joe Biden. Crazy.
Doug handled Ketanji Brown Jackson's nomination for Joe Biden and the Democrats in 2022, calling her "Immensely qualified" and said her confirmation was "one of the most joyous days of my life." Crazy.
Doug endorsed Kamala Harris and Tim Walz. Crazy.
Doug protested Alabama's congressional map on the steps of the Capitol in Montgomery with AOC and their friends from the Southern Poverty Law Center. Radical.
And Doug is bringing STACY ABRAMS to ALABAMA to campaign with him just to prove how "moderate" he is. Crazy.
Maybe in California and New York that's normal. But in Alabama, we call all of that "crazy and radical."
On a February morning in 1986, a Georgia farmer named Leonard Hill walked out of his house twenty minutes before the bank was set to auction off his land. He never came back inside.
He took his own life that morning, believing his life insurance policy would cover the debts that had buried his family. It did not come close.
Leonard left behind a widow.
Annabel Hill was 66 years old, and the farm her husband died trying to save had been in her family for five generations.
Years of drought had wiped out the crops and the income that came with them. By the time Leonard died, the family owed the bank more than $300,000. His death did nothing to change that number.
The auction was still coming, and Annabel was now facing it alone.
That fall, an Atlanta businessman named Frank Argenbright heard what had happened to the Hills. He did not know the family.
He simply decided that a widow in her sixties should not lose five generations of land because it stopped raining. So he started making phone calls, looking for anyone with the money and the will to step in.
Those calls eventually reached a New York developer whose name the Hill family had never heard. Donald Trump was 40 years old and building his reputation in Manhattan real estate.
A Georgia farm foreclosure was as far from his world as anything could be.
Trump later wrote about what happened next in The Art of the Deal. He said the story hit him hard. Here was a family that had worked honestly for their entire lives, and they were about to watch everything they owned disappear because of weather they could not control and a bank that would not bend. He decided to make a call of his own.
He phoned the bank directly.
The loan officer told him there was nothing anyone could do. The paperwork was done, the debt was real, and the auction would go forward. Trump did not accept that answer. By his own account, he told the banker that if the foreclosure went ahead, he would sue the bank for wrongful death.
Leonard Hill had killed himself under the financial pressure the bank had applied, and Trump was prepared to argue in court that the two were connected.
The bank backed down and agreed to delay the foreclosure. That bought time, but time alone would not pay off $300,000.
A public fundraising drive was organized next, and Americans who had read about Annabel Hill sent checks to an account with a Trump Tower address. The response was strong, but when the counting was done, the total still fell short of what the bank was owed. Rather than let the effort die a few dollars from the finish line, Trump and a Texas oilman quietly covered the remaining $78,000 between them. No press release announced it.
The story did not end when the cameras left. Annabel Hill's descendants still live on that Georgia farm today. One of her granddaughters chose a career in agriculture, and she has said the land her family nearly lost is the reason she did.
The five-generation streak Leonard Hill died trying to protect kept going because a stranger in Atlanta would not stop dialing and a stranger in New York picked up.
More than thirty years later, Annabel Hill's daughter stood on a campaign stage and told the story of that phone call to a crowd that had mostly never heard it.
By then, the man who made the call had spent decades as one of the most talked-about people in America, and the headlines about him had come and gone thousands of times.
This story had never been one of them. It stayed private for most of that time, remembered mainly by the family that lived it.
That is worth remembering when people claim they already know everything about the man.
A rancher's widow in Georgia did not have a lobbyist or a press agent. She had a farm, a debt, and a husband in the ground.
What she got, without asking, was a phone call to a bank and $78,000 she never had to repay. This is the side of President Trump the media never tells you about!
🚨 This morning, the FBI and our partners arrested a subject near Los Angeles for allegedly paying homeless individuals on Skid Row in downtown Los Angeles to sign petitions in support of ballot initiatives—all using stolen identities of registered voters.
Two additional petition circulators have also been charged in the investigation. All three subjects are charged with conspiracy to commit identity fraud in furtherance of a state felony, among other charges.
Securing American elections from criminal interference is of the utmost importance to this FBI.
If you mess with our elections, this FBI will find you.
Great work by @FBILosAngeles and our partners.

🚨#BREAKING: An Ohio construction crew heard tiny SCREAMS coming from INSIDE a massive excavator…
They crawled underneath, started taking the machine apart, and found a tiny KITTEN trapped inside.
They saved her life, then they ADOPTED HER AND GAVE HER A JOB. 😂❤️
Her name is Sue, she even has her own custom-made hard hat and safety vest.
On July 14, a crew from River Reach Construction was working at a job site in Leavittsburg, Ohio, when operating supervisor Chase Guello heard something strange coming from one of their excavators.
At first it sounded almost like a faint beep or screech.
So Chase started looking.
He climbed onto the machine and looked down into the engine bay…
…and there was a TINY ORANGE KITTEN walking around inside the excavator.
There was no easy way to reach her, so Chase crawled UNDERNEATH the machine and started removing the skid plate.
Finally, out popped this absolutely tiny kitten.
Their “rescue mission of the day” had gone from fixing construction equipment to saving a little life. 😂
The guys brought her straight into their air-conditioned office trailer and started taking care of her.
They spent DAYS searching the area for her mother or any siblings because they didn’t want to separate her from a family that might still be nearby.
They couldn’t find another cat.
So the construction crew decided this little girl was their problem now, s they found an experienced foster family who could properly care for her while she was still tiny, and for the next two weeks she was nursed back to health.
And obviously a kitten discovered inside an excavator needed an appropriate name.
The machine was a Komatsu.
So they named her…
KOMATSU.
Sue for short. 😂😂😂
It gets even better.
Videos of Sue’s rescue started spreading online and eventually reached the people at KOMATSU THEMSELVES.
So the company sent their smallest new employee some proper PPE:
A TINY SAFETY VEST.
AND A TINY HARD HAT. 😭😂❤️
After two weeks in foster care, Sue was healthy enough to return to the people who found her.
River Reach’s shop mechanic, Jared, and his family are giving her a permanent home.
And once Sue is old enough, Jared plans to bring her back and forth to work with him.
Her official position???
SHOP CAT.
Chase said something about the whole thing that I absolutely love.
"We sometimes get stereotyped as rough around the edges and not having feelings, but we still care for such a little kitten.”
Millions of people have now watched Sue’s story.
All because a construction worker heard a tiny noise inside a gigantic machine…
…and cared enough to stop what he was doing and find out what it was.
Good work, boys. 🇺🇸
SAYED'S MOTHER CAUGHT: Michigan Democrat U.S. Senate nominee Abdul El-Sayed's mother reportedly worked for an organization that, according to the Treasury Department, supported terrorism. https://t.co/wiShfxLWxp
