If you are a beloved team on a magical run and Donald Trump tries to stick his nose in it: prepare for the worst.

Jalen Brunson: “You’re allowed to think about the worst possible scenario. But you gotta go out there and do something about it.” A good mantra for fighting fascism too.

Which is worse… A) Trump whipping up a mob to attack the Capitol on Jan 6? B) Trump pardoning ALL the Insurrectionists who stormed the Capitol (and attacked police) on Jan 6? C) Trump creating a $1.5 Billion TAXPAYER fund to reward his Jan 6th supporters? WTF?!?! 🤬 abcnews.com/amp/US/trump...

The reporter who asked this question is a veteran journalist, Rachel Scott. She is also a Black American. Trump called her question stupid and twice seemed to imply she was comfortable with dirt. Just naked misogyny and racism

Rubio: "You've got friends who have been shot in the head because they're out protesting, and it's heartbreaking to him to see these people are abused in this way and have no measures to take against their own government as a result of it. This is a vicious regime."

Wemby: “I refuse to carry the burden of having to hide my emotions.” This is amazing.

"Wemby's too emotional." "Wemby should stop crying." "Wemby's gay."
Can we stop with the tired old clichés that treat emotions as a weakness, either in sports or in life in general?
I asked Wemby about why that is. Here's his response:
"That's a tough question. I think it's first and foremost a fear of judgment. Like this feeling that you have to act a certain way, social codes, I guess. Personally, I refuse to carry the burden of having to hide my emotions."

If you're a liberal, it's probably not fun to live under a 6-3 conservative SCOTUS. But consider this: Hillary Clinton's email security and retention protocols at the State Department were subpar.

There will be lots of chin-stroking columns about political violence and lowering the temperature that will studiously ignore we're still talking about the guy who had a lynch mob sack the Capitol and try to kill the vice president.

Jeffries on Kash Patel: "We have to stop putting all the blame on the people who nominated this incompetent, toxic, malignant individual. What about the people who confirmed him? It's extraordinary to me that Senate Republican confirmed people like Noem, Bondi, Hegseth, RFK Jr, and Patel."
