Because of Stacey, we as Bulls fans know “it’s a simple game.”

Because of Stacey, we always have hot sauce ready.

Because of Stacey, we like our meatballs spicy.

Because of Stacey - and the joy he brought - this goodbye hits so hard.

Drive home safely, Stacey. Beep Beep.

Been so impressed with Wemby at age 22 in his first postseason run, quick little highlight tape of his best plays 🔥🔥🔥🔥

Congratulations @OU_Baseball on punching that ticket to Omaha. Incredible determination for @CoachJohnsonOU to get his team/players steamed up for the post season. Take that focus and bring back that NATTY…BOOMER!!!

@UnderdogNBA No 11 (Bryant) had several of such tackles in the OKC series. Unbelievable. I’m glad it’s happening on the big stage of the Finals in NYC now so maybe people will believe the OKC fan base when we say Spurs aren’t quite choir boys. They play a dirty brand of basketball. IMO

"This is one of the toughest moments of my being here on earth. To have someone like that close to you pass on. It's real tough. And I don't usually cry."

BELIEVE WHAT YOU HEAR WHEN ITS RECORDED BY A HIDDEN MICROPHONE

It doesn't appear that Mike Johnson knew he was being recorded today when he admitted that if they hold on to power, Republicans will cut Medicaid, Medicare, and Social Security next year.

Vote Blue in November!

@TheDunkCentral When OKC played him, I at first thought he was too big and out of control. Then he started in with these malicious hits. The Wemby coronation in view of this crap was very frustrating to watch.

@southernphd What a wonderful story. Sad he didn’t live for the actual 250 birthday.

[Joshua Claybourn @JoshuaClaybourn]

On Sunday, my friend Gordon Wood was struck and killed in a car accident. Gordon taught history at Brown Univ. and was among the most accomplished historians America has produced. He won the 1993 Pulitzer Prize for The Radicalism of the American Revolution, and his earlier book The Creation of the American Republic, 1776–1787 took the 1970 Bancroft Prize. He also received the National Humanities Medal.

He was, in my view, the finest historian of America's founding—which makes it all the sadder that he did not live to see the nation's 250th birthday. His reputation reached popular culture, too. Matt Damon's character in Good Will Hunting invokes him by name in the famous bar scene, accusing a Harvard student of simply "regurgitating Gordon Wood, talking about [...] the pre-Revolutionary utopia and the capital-forming effects of military mobilization."

I feel fortunate to have collaborated with Gordon on several projects. In a 2019 anthology I compiled, he wrote an essay on the possibility of a shared American narrative. He centered his argument on equal rights as "the most radical and most powerful ideological force" the Revolution unleashed. "This powerful sense of equality is still alive and well in America," he wrote, "and despite all of its disturbing and unsettling consequences, it is what makes us one people."

When I needed jacket blurbs for my new book Lincoln's Compass, coming out this November, I turned to Gordon. The fit was natural: the book argues that Abraham Lincoln took the Declaration's claim that "all men are created equal" as his guiding moral compass—and that he refocused the nation on that claim. Gordon, ever the gentleman, offered generous praise.

He was, in many respects, the dean of American historians. He will be very hard to replace.

@atrupar Shortly after that there was a huge round of cheers and applause. Anyone know who was shown on big screen after Trump?

New reporting reveals Republican nominee for Iowa Governor Zach Lahn lives full time in Kansas.

Lahn says he plans to move to Iowa only if he is elected.

@mariashriver He’s an abuser. Any women who has ever been around it knows exactly what this is.

[Jessica Tarlov @JessicaTarlov]

I can’t keep up - is the issue that he’s gay or he sleeps with too many attractive women?

[Mary Robertson @mstrobertson]

@AdamKinzinger And which side leaked this story?

[Mary Robertson @mstrobertson]

@KyleKulinski Does he plan a good old MAGA rally in the locker room? Hope he is cognizant of their time limitations.

These people have been waiting an hour to get into Madison Square Garden.

Here is a first person account:

“They routed everyone down to 34th and 8th.

Police barracade.

Through metal detectors to a point about 200 feet from MSG.

Then they came and apologized and said they were confused and instead we needed to exit the barracade and go to 34th and 7th.

We walked there and then a different set of police told us to go to 32nd and 6th.

There are hundreds, if not a thousand people, wandering around in giant herds not knowing where to go or how to get in.

The police keep saying they don’t know the protocol.”
