One example for you to think about: Mayo Clinic role and having such a (knock on wood) healthy team. Would love a profile on the training team and medical staff. Are they doing anything different or has the team just been lucky with injuries? Maybe highlight Donte’s recovery as part of it.

Welcome to Minny! One of the things I most appreciated about Chris Hine’s coverage were the sometimes quirky, insider stories about the team, making me feel closer to the ins and outs of an NBA team. Excited to see where you take this role. This is a special team!

Ossoff: It’s been amazing to watch this White House melt down over this all week. And about Natalie Harp, these White House staffers are adults, public officials paid by the taxpayer, with immense power in positions of public trust.

Guardian article about Senator Cassidy calling the MMR vaccine safety debate from Trump as “crazy stupid”. This is the same Senator that was the deciding vote to approve RFK. Meme of guy in hot dog costume saying “we’re all trying to figure out who did this”

Everytime some MAGA bizbro says “we need less red tape” remember what they really mean is more cancerous soot in the air, more disease in the water, more access to cheat finances, and more diarrhea in your lettuce. Government is a good thing when used appropriately.

They’re packaging it like this so it looks like a shallow trend, but Gen Z has gone through two financial crises, a pandemic, rising fascism, active shooter drills since they were toddlers, and are now being told by the oligarchy they’re to be replaced by robots. Socialism is the logical conclusion.

so wildly unprofessional. Refs didn’t cost the game. Spurs were better team, but the league can’t allow somebody with that kind of demeanor to ref playoff games. It is embarrassing.

Wolves come up short. Spurs deserved the game. Better team tonight and refs didn’t cost the game. But that Brothers incident was ridiculous and unprofessional. A ref who has the demeanor to go after a coach has no business being an NBA playoff ref.

People will be closely studying how Hungary's opposition pulled off their win in such a pro-incumbent system. Important to note that the theme was corruption. Democrats need to get much better at calling out Trump's corruption.

The only question left by the Supreme Court decision on tariffs is: What the fuck is wrong with Thomas, Alito, and Kavenaugh? The Constitution could not say more clearly that only Congress has the power to impose taxes. Can't those three justices umderstand a simple, direct English sentence?
