Celtics are starting to follow a playbook Boston has seen before:
• Move an expensive star
• Conversation shifts to questions about star’s personality or fit.
• Fans are told to wait because another move is coming.
• Payroll comes down.
Red Sox fans know this script.
I was going to wait a few days before publishing this, but alas.
Jaylen Brown means so much more to the city of Boston than most will realize, and I had a front-row seat to it for the past 3 years:

BLOCKBUSTER: The Boston Celtics have agreed to trade Jaylen Brown to the Philadelphia 76ers for Paul George, two first-round picks and two second-round picks, sources tell ESPN.

Spencer Pratt will never be Mayor of LA.
Not because he’s a conspiracy propagating MAGA TV villain.
But, because the people of LA actually care about our City. We are critical of those in power because the stakes are so high. The struggle isn’t a reality show.
Documented voter fraud in CA (and nationwide) is extremely rare, typically under 0.001–0.0025% of ballots cast according to audits, academic studies, and databases like the Heritage Foundation. No credible evidence shows CA has meaningfully higher rates than other large states.
California Is Blocking a Federal Audit of Its Voter Rolls
California allows first-time voters to register using forms of ID that most Americans would find surprising, including:
-Gym membership card
-Employer ID card
-Credit or debit card
-Prescription drug label
-Insurance card (California provides free health coverage to undocumented immigrants)
Full list: https://t.co/BvfviJsYG8
This is permitted when a voter fails to provide a Social Security number or driver’s license at registration. Our office believes this policy deserves a closer look.
We also have serious concerns about how California maintains its voter rolls. There are open questions about whether the state is promptly removing deceased voters, people who have moved, and individuals convicted of disqualifying felonies.
On top of that, California allows third parties to collect and turn in ballots on voters’ behalf (a practice known as ballot harvesting) with few restrictions. This makes it difficult to track who actually received, completed, and submitted each ballot.
For over a year, the Department of Justice has been trying to audit California’s voter rolls. Federal law gives the Attorney General the authority to review state voter files and confirm that only eligible U.S. citizens are voting in federal elections.
@AAGDhillon sent California a letter explaining our legal authority. California refused to comply, claiming state privacy laws block the review, an argument that does not hold up because those laws don’t apply to the federal government in this context. We’ve sued California in federal court, and the case is before the Ninth Circuit Court of Appeals.
If California genuinely wants voters to trust its elections, it should open its records, not fight to keep them closed.
What are they afraid of?
After Trump's meltdown on Meet the Press today, I wrote an analysis of why California has become the new front line in his war on free and fair elections — and what's really at stake in 2026.

Reporter: Ken Paxton has taken to calling you ‘Talafreako’
@JamesTalarico: If Ken Paxton is worried about freaks, he should stop giving Epstein-style sweetheart deals to pedophiles. This is the guy who just released Adam Hoffman from jail, an admitted child rapist, after one of Ken Paxton’s wealthy lawyer friends got involved in the case.
Ken Paxton even kept him off the sex offender registry. Adam Hoffman was supposed to serve 25 years to life, but instead he served less than a month. As of this week, he’s now back on our streets because of Ken Paxton’s corruption.
Ken Paxton is the most corrupt politician in America, and it is costing Texans, it’s endangering our children, and it must end. The Epstein class has no place in Texas.
