Excel stuff. Sports photographer. Former production professional. MBA. GW, UCLA alum. Father, apparently. RTs are either endorsements or sarcastic, you decide.

IF this is true, FIFA should be pulling out all the possible discipline levers against the US. The IOC should be getting contingency plans ready for a backup Olympics host. Unacceptable.

[Al Jazeera English @AJEnglish]

Iran’s World Cup squad has been notified they must enter and leave US soil on the same day of their matches played in America, says Tehran’s ambassador to Mexico.

This is outrageous, and the league partners should revolt.

Non seulement la présence de Donald Trump va affecter l’expérience des fans au Madison Square Garden demain soir, mais aussi notre travail, à nous les journalistes.

La NBA vient de nous signifier que les vestiaires des deux équipes ne seraient pas ouverts à la presse avant le match, pas plus que les bords du terrain à partir d’1h15 avant le début de celui-ci. Des accès en général essentiels pour obtenir de bons témoignages, réseauter et enrichir nos papiers.

One idea I really enjoy is that Democrats have an unbeatable vote rigging operation, but instead of just using it all the time, they sadistically employ it only after briefly giving Republicans hope

[Jonah Goldberg @JonahDispatch]

Maybe because he literally just put an entirely unqualified political hatchet man in charge of the DNI — while we’re at war — and the only reason he could give was that he would look into the “stolen” election bullshit? He’s making hugely important decisions based on a lie. That seems worth paying attention to. He also tried to set up a compensation fund for people who, inspired by his promulgation of that lie, laid siege to the Capitol. Oh and the only legislation he cares about is all wrapped up in his delusions about how elections are stolen. I can keep coming up with reasons. But the fact that the president still thinks his lie should drive policy and personnel (several J6ers work in the administration) that makes it relevant, imho.

I would be so pissed if I bought yesterday 😬

They should sue.

[Wu Tang is for the Children @WUTangKids]

Oh and not only is Trump ruining the vibes for fans he’s also ruining the night for several bars and restaurants since secret service is only allowing ticketed fans near msg from 7th and 8th Avenues

[Wu Tang is for the Children @WUTangKids]

The city has been on an epic run of positive vibes because of the Knicks and now Trump is coming to completely ruin everything

[Team Ossoff @TeamOssoff]

Ossoff: Last September, the President of Kazakhstan calls Donald Trump and says he wants to grant tungsten mining rights to an American company. And the very next month, Eric and Don Jr. get a stake in the American company pursuing the mining deal.

Six days later, six days after Prince Eric and Prince Don get their stake, Kazakhstan announces this company will get, “The largest known undeveloped tungsten resource in the world.” A few more weeks go by, and then the U.S. government, run by their father, sets aside 1.6 billion of your tax dollars to fund and finance their mining project. In Kazakhstan.

All this while you pay more for gas, for groceries, for health care, and that's just the tip of the iceberg.

[Mike Levin @MikeLevin]

This is really stupid, and it’s not getting enough attention.

The Trump administration is pulling a working $368 million ocean monitoring system out of the water, equipment taxpayers already bought, built, and sank into the deep ocean.

And they are doing it right when the oceans are behaving in ways that alarm the scientists who study them.

Record-breaking temperatures.

A system of Atlantic currents that may be lurching toward collapse.

The response?

Yank out the instruments and walk away.

That is not budgeting. That is smashing the gauges while the engine is on fire and calling it efficiency.

For what? The Trump administration dressed it up as a “nimbler approach” and “smart lifecycle management,” which is fancy nonsense for “we shut it off and hoped nobody would ask why.” There is no return-on-investment analysis. They cannot show taxpayers save a dime, because the gear is already paid for and the science it produces protects real money and real lives.

The kicker: the same people killing the monitors want to mine the deep sea for minerals. So they are destroying the only tools that could measure what that mining does. That is not an accident.

That is the point. You cannot see the damage if you break the instruments first.

I get he’s a Knicks “fan” but save some orange face paint for the game

[Aaron Rupar @atrupar]

WELKER: Who is leading Iran?

TRUMP: I don't want to go into names. They're leaders. They're respected by the people that have to respect them.

[Ruben Gallego @RubenGallego]

And now he is negotiating for the US government, or is it for Saudi Arabia or Israel?
How can we trust he is negotiating to end the war with Iran when he is on the payroll of 2 countries that benefit from a war with Iran?

[grams @gramsdidit]

As a photographer I’m just sad about what the NBA thinks is acceptable, treating photography like an over-abundant commodity. It’s ok though there will be AI to control all cameras soon enough & expire all humans. KAT’s legacy is being documented without telling the world how.

[Thomas Nestico @TJStats]

Blake Treinen is a devout believer in a God that teaches you to love everyone and treat others the way you want to be treated. He is a hypocritical bigot.

LGBTQ+ people deserve to be treated equally and with respect. People like Treinen are why Pride events are necessary.

Also, shouldn’t an NYPD official know the Garden doesn’t hold anywhere close to 50,000 fans??

[Annmarie Hordern @annmarie]

"It's the first president that's ever come in to go to a basketball playoff game. So you can imagine the Garden is gonna have 50,000 fans, now you've got a presidential motorcade coming in, streets sealed off," former NYPD Deputy Commissioner Rich Esposito told CBS New York.

[Jordan Teller @jbteller]

Only a fake ass Knicks fan would ruin the party that has been the MSG watch parties for the Finals. Also, isn’t a public train station operating directly underneath the arena glaring security risk?!

[CBS News @CBSNews]

No bags, no watch parties: Here's what to expect when President Trump attends the NBA Finals: https://t.co/EfOXwiR9Bg

[Jordan Teller @jbteller]

That’s what fans love, rules changing for the biggest game of the year!

[Stefan Bondy @SbondyNBA]

With Donald Trump attending Game 3, the Knicks and the Secret Service announce fans cannot bring bags into arena and they should arrive at least two hours prior to tipoff to allow time for TSA-screening procedures.

It’ll be like going to the airport.

[Jordan Teller @jbteller]

If people pay $10k plus and miss one second of the game because of this selfish asshole the booing will be off the charts

[Wu Tang is for the Children @WUTangKids]

Knicks and MSG are asking fans to arrive "at least two hours" before the 8:30pm tip to get through security because of Trump….bastard ruins everything!

[Wu Tang is for the Children @WUTangKids]

Come on baby Jesus 🙏

What's amazing to me is that, 10 years apart, there are the exact same clouds in the exact same positions.

DC truly is a magical place
