Trump blockading Cuba into catastrophe should be a much bigger story than it is.

Zionist forces brutally assault Orthodox Jews in the streets of Jerusalem for opposing genocide in Gaza. Haven’t seen this kind of state violence against Jews since Nazi Germany. Images like this destroy the myth that the State of Israel is Jewish.

@ZaidJilani There are some benefits to gentrification, but it surely pushes out residents. It causes rent to skyrocket and then many of the residents who lived there for decades can no longer afford it (eg, Bushwick, Bedstuy, etc.) https://t.co/FG1PxuoYcC

Gentrification is good, opposing gentrification is opposing progress. And there's actually not very good evidence that gentrification pushes out residents.

@KyleKulinski What happened to Zohran's campaign promises? He kept Eric Adams' billionaire police commissioner, is increasing NYPD headcount after pledging to keep it flat, kept the gang database he vowed to abolish, kept SRG he vowed to disband, and continued homeless encampment sweeps.

@mehdirhasan This is "the first time in the World Cup's 96-year history that a competing nation is at war with a host." https://t.co/W1b4uWQEeX https://t.co/jhirIxTUIV

[Mehdi Hasan @mehdirhasan]

Has there ever been a World Cup where a team is playing in the host country on the literal same day that the host country is bombing that team's country?

@BiasedHouston Why pick someone you think is worse? Deep down you're picking who you know is better https://t.co/dQnOdG06mX

[ᵂᴵᴸᴸ @BiasedHouston]

James Harden is unquestionably better at basketball than Jalen Brunson, but if you told me I had to pick one of them to win me a playoff series, I am picking Jalen Brunson.

@BetMGM 2026 Knicks should be #1 playoff team ever. They had the best playoff point differential (+283), best playoff net rating (+15.4), best 12-game point-differential stretch (+272), the largest comeback in NBA Finals history (29 points), while winning 13 straight playoff games.

@ScottGLiisco @stats_feed Thanks

MSG Sports confirms with Spurs ownership that Knicks fans will not have their Game 5 tickets revoked:

"Contrary to prior reporting, we've confirmed with Spurs ownership that they will not be revoking any tickets that Knicks fans have for tonight's game in San Antonio and all ticket holders will be allowed in to Frost Bank Arena."

[Ticketmaster @Ticketmaster]

Geographic restrictions on NBA Finals Game 5 tickets were set by the hosting team and applied at the time of purchase. If you bought your tickets on Ticketmaster, you have a valid, authenticated ticket that will get you in tonight. No tickets purchased on Ticketmaster for this game have or will be canceled. 🏀

[NBACentral @TheDunkCentral]

Ticketmaster is reportedly canceling and refunding Game 5 NBA Finals tickets purchased by fans who live outside a 150-mile radius of San Antonio — without notice 😳, per @nypost

Some Knicks fans who already flew into town and booked hotels are reportedly having their tickets canceled at the last minute 😬

[Robert W Malone, MD @RWMaloneMD]

BREAKING- Very active rumor mill currently with specifics from senior USG (government) employees that RFKjr will be leaving as Secretary HHS in July, after the 4th. Meeting was apparently held last Monday. Oz to head transition team.

The NYPD is on track to once again blow through its already gargantuan overtime budget this fiscal year.

A new report from the NYC Comptroller's Office says the police department can and must do better at managing OT.
