@andrrjones Truth! @southtexasblood gave us a pair of tickets on our quarterly donation! We give there anyway, but how rad is it to say, ‘I literally bleed for the Spurs!’

Only 30% of the public approve of Trump’s nomination of Kennedy to lead HHS, while 42% disapprove. Support is divided with 59% of Republicans backing the choice, compared to just 24% of independents and 10% of Democrats. https://t.co/nouhn64rLh

“It may be just a car to some, but for my family it was sanity, peace of mind stolen from us.”

In Connecticut, tow companies can sell people’s cars after 15 days. For low-income residents, the consequences can extend far beyond the cost of the car.

[San Antonio Spurs @spurs]

Everyone knew Sovia Lauriano as “the Spurs Lady”.

To the Spurs organization, she was much more; a friend to many on staff, a devoted season-ticket member, a bringer of breakfast tacos, a maker of intricate game night costumes and a familiar face in the community.

Sovie embodied the spirit of a true fan with her big smile and even bigger heart. She brought joy to everyone she met and will be deeply missed by the entire Spurs Family. May she rest in peace.
