Man. Don’t know how to explain it other than shock. Words cannot express the pain of this letdown. The frustration is unfathomable. I’ve worked my whole life to get to this moment and this is how it ends? Makes no sense.

Now that I’ve gotten surgery, I wish I could count the number of times people will tell me I’m going to “come back stronger”. What a cliche lol, this shit sucks. My foot feels like dead weight fam. But what’s hurting most I think is my mind. Feel like I’m rambling, but I know this is something I’ll look back on when I’m through this, as something I’m proud I fought through. It feels good to let this shit out without y’all seeing the kid ugly cry.

At 25, I’ve already learned that God never gives us more than we can handle. I know I’ll come out on the other side of this a better man and a better player. And honestly, right now, torn Achilles and all, I don’t regret it. I’d do it again, and again after that, to fight for this city and my brothers. For the chance to do something special.

Indy, I’m sorry. If any fan base doesn’t deserve this, it’s y’all. But together we are going to fight like hell to get back to this very spot, and get over this hurdle. I don’t doubt for a second that y’all have my back, and I hope you guys know that I have yours. I think Kobe said it best when in this same situation. “There are far greater issues/challenges in the world then a torn achilles. Stop feeling sorry for yourself, find the silver lining and get to work with the same belief, same drive and same conviction as ever.” And that’s exactly right. I will do everything in my power to get back right.

My journey to get to where I am today wasn’t by happenstance, I’ve pushed myself every day to be great. And I will continue to do just that. The most important part of this all, is that I’m grateful. I’m grateful for every single experience that’s led me here. I’m grateful for all the love from the hoop world. I don’t “have to” go through this, I get to go through this. I’m grateful for the road that lies ahead. Watch how I come back from this. So, give me some time, I’ll dust myself off and get right back to being the best version of Tyrese Haliburton.

JUST IN: Judge Boasberg finds probable cause to hold administration in contempt of court for defying his order to turn around planes, demands new details in order for officials to “purge” their contempt. Details TK

Men shouldn’t have friends. Tim Robinson and Paul Rudd are seeking FRIENDSHIP in Andrew DeYoung’s hilariously unhinged nightmare comedy. In theaters this May.

FRIENDSHIP isn’t for everyone. Trailer tomorrow

"What happened last night is the most direct assault on the authority of Congress, I believe, in the history of the U.S. It is blatantly unconstitutional," Maine Sen. Angus King says of Trump's OMB halting all federal grants.

"If this stands, then Congress may as well adjourn."

[New York Jets @nyjets]

Let's gooooooo!

OFFICIAL: We’ve agreed to terms with Aaron Glenn to become the Head Coach of the New York Jets.

[joey @JoePic47]

the notion that underlines this claim is somehow these endorsements forced voters to chose Biden; but, obviously, all Super Tuesday voters possess free will! Bernie was still on the ballot, and remained a highly popular and acceptable choice.

I just want this discussion to stop

[joey @JoePic47]

I've typically loved everything Astead has said about this election, but I have grown to despise the laziness of this general argument regarding the 2020 primary

I get the frustration that Biden won, but the obstusity of those arguing it's theoretical illegitimacy is infuriating

[Astead @AsteadWH]

Makes me think it’s worth talking about more how close the 2020 primary was. The Biden mythology was built out of something that was even initially built together via scotch tape

[joey @JoePic47]

a primary is a political process! coalition building is valid politics! even granting that other candidates dropping out and subsequent endorsements were highly coordinated events by party elites, why would that make his victory any less legitimate than other primary results?

[joey @JoePic47]

[Ed Whelan @EdWhelanEPPC]

Hope it's wrong, but I'm hearing through the grapevine about this bonkers plan: Trump would adjourn both Houses of Congress under Article II, section 3, and then recess-appoint his Cabinet.

[joey @JoePic47]

the only person I can even possibly think of that could be worse across the board compared to Gaetz is Tucker, and I just can't even see where he'd fit in anywhere.

that or like appointing a proud boy or some shit, which is probably not even on the trump radar (hopefully)

[joey @JoePic47]

I'm like 65% sure I'm gonna be wrong on this one, but I do feel like Gaetz has to be the *worst* possible pick for any cabinet position, right? Like I am racking my brain to try and figure out what could even possibly be worse, and I have no clue

[joey @JoePic47]

if he somehow actually gets through a confirmation process in the senate, which I actually think is unlikely even in this senate, then this is no longer hilariously bad and instead just catastrophically bad

[joey @JoePic47]

ok this is actually hilariously bad

[Jake Sherman @JakeSherman]

DONALD TRUMP has named Rep. MATT GAETZ to be the attorney general nominee.

[joey @JoePic47]

this to me, being admittedly a huge nerd about democracy, feels like the single most important take away from this election (besides the obvious headwinds of inflation and a new media landscape)

[Astead @AsteadWH]

Donald Trump is promising to upend democracy, while Dems promise to protect it. But that’s a different message than if Ds acknowledged voter frustration with our political system and said “here’s our plan to improve it.” And I think that distinction matters.
