Buttigieg: "In a country that amended its Constitution so you couldn't buy beer, then realized it was a bad idea and amended it again, surely we can pass an amendment saying corporations aren't people and money isn't speech."
Blake Griffin says the LA Clippers' sports psychologist accidentally left him a voicemail meant for his coach after one of their sessions
“My first time ever seeing a sports psychologist, around 2012, it sort of became more of a thing, and the Clippers hired the team sports psychologist. And everybody was required to meet with him”
“He comes up to me after practice, he's like, ‘Hey, why don't you, if you want to meet outside of here, we can go get coffee, I can come by the house’”
“I lived in Manhattan Beach at the time, down on the ocean. I was like, ‘Yeah, why don't you come.’ We sat out on my balcony. We talked. He left, and I went in to take a shower. I put my phone on the charger, took a shower, came back, and I see a missed call from him and a voicemail”
“I clicked the voicemail, and it's him. He goes, ‘Hey, Coach. Just left Blake's house. We had a good talk. Some really interesting things.’ I was like, Oh my God”
“First of all, I can't believe he fucked up that bad, because that's really fucked up. And second of all, I was like, ‘Well, fuck that. I'm never seeing another sports psychologist ever again”
Ryan Leaf says he made $15,000,000 from his $31,000,000 NFL rookie contract before losing it all
“The headline says $31 million. The signing bonus was $11 million, which is still a lot of damn money. Three years in the contract was lower salaries”
“I probably made $15 million out of all that. $7.5 million went to taxes. $3.8 million went to the ex-wife”
“So I have $3.8 million, and I lived like I was still making $5 million a year. Had the big house, flew on private planes”
“I just figured that the money would never run out. Didn't fully understand what that looked like, and before you know it, it's gone”
“When you were making zero dollars a year, and you live like you're still making $5 million a year, it goes away. It was gone”
Former @JSerraLionsBB standout and current Athletics pitcher Gage Jump is scheduled to make his Major League Baseball debut on Tuesday, when he is slated to start for the Athletics against Seattle Mariners at Sutter Health Park in Sacramento.
Jump earned Orange County Pitcher of the Year honors during his senior season in 2021, posting a 9-0 record with a 0.63 ERA and striking out 107 batters in 56 innings.
His brilliance on the mound helped the Lions win the Trinity League title, advance to the CIF-SS Division 1 championship game, and win the inaugural CIF Southern California Division 1 Regional championship.
Jump was the 73rd pick of the Athletics in the 2024 MLB draft and has struck out 56 batters in 38 innings for their Triple-A affiliate in Las Vegas.
He is currently the No. 2 prospect in the Athletics’ farm system and was ranked No. 42 in ESPN’s 2026 Preseason MLB Prospects Rankings.
Congrats Gage!!
BREAKING: Rep. Thomas Massie named the first billionaire in Epstein's black book for Epstein's victims - John Paulson.
Please tell us all the different ways Donald Trump is connected to John Paulson, @grok.
I am so proud of the @TexasHDC and the work that they’ve done. Their willingness to put themselves on the line to highlight the current assault on our democracy has set an example for what all of us have to do.
Investors wake up!
The timing of the new Fed chair is less significant than the influence he will have on his committee.
If he can sway the committee’s thinking over time, bond markets will increasingly go curve positive, the dollar will weaken, and inflation will likely move to a 3% center.
Some aspects of this are stock market positive others are not, but the uncertainty on Fed policy, tariffs, and the influence of AI will be significant.
I for one am moving defensively — more cash, buying value with 4-5% dividend yields.
And an emphasis on non-U.S in addition to prior mentioned MLP pipelines.
You’ve got to hand it to President Trump. He has convinced everyone that a 30% tariff rate on China, and a 13% average tariff rate on the world (was 2.5% in 2024), are both normal and manageable. Nothing like a 10-percentage point levy on this $30 trillion beast called Global Trade. The Art of the Deal is working brilliantly.
The Trump trade strategy faces its ultimate test. Its weakness may soon be exposed as we gird for all out trade war with China while trying to convince the world now to join us. @SecScottBessent is in a difficult, self-inflicted spot. Blame @howardlutnick all you want for the strategy that really is the president's and Bessent's as Treasury Secretary. Both decided to shoot first at the world, and then focus on China while now asking the same trading partners we pissed off to help us triangulate a common foe. Bessent may wiggle out of this by cutting half-ass deals w the EU, Canada and Mexico, but it wont be easy or pretty. And it was so avoidable. The damage China has done to free trade is enormous; it's a command control economy, a militaristic super power that obviously uses our public markets and openness to further its gains. You can't say that about Canada and the EU or Israel. I'm just here to report what's going down, but a little common sense shows that we have backed ourselves into a negotiating corner.
