On YOUR soul, if Shai’s handed MVP for doing the SAME SHIT Luka did for the Lakers last year that got him denied MVP, the league is legit beyond fucked up.

🚨BREAKING: The Republican Women’s Caucus Fund has been unmasked as the force behind the fake Texas Transgender Student Union (TTSU). This Wyoming LLC, formed in September, flooded as many as 3 million Texas mailboxes and phones with texts and brochures just as early voting began for the midterms.
Posing as a trans advocacy outfit, the materials—addressed to the children of registered voters—coached minors on seeking gender-affirming care even against parents’ wishes, pursuing emancipation, going out-of-state for hormones or surgery, and finding a “found family.” They copied branding from the real Transgender Education Network of Texas (TENT) and used a near-identical address.
Legal filings named the Republican Women’s Caucus and “John Braun”—the name of a Washington state senator whose campaign treasurer, Paul Kilgore, also handles finances for the RWC Fund and PACs supporting Ken Paxton’s Senate bid against Democrat James Talarico. TTSU’s lawyer is former Paxton assistant AG Chris Hilton.
TENT sued, claiming harassment, threats, and operational harm. Judge Jan Soifer ordered disclosure, rejecting free-speech secrecy claims.
So, a Republican-linked group, with financial ties to Paxton-supporting PACs, mass-produced and distributed materials that impersonated a transgender student resource guide. In other words, the people who routinely accuse the transgender community of “indoctrinating” or targeting children, themselves produced and mailed the very content designed to look like that targeting—so parents would see it and react.
Every Republican accusation is a confession.

James Talarico: “We have agreed to five debates and Ken Paxton has declined every one. If I had Ken Paxton’s career of corruption I wouldn’t want to answer these questions either. Why did you give an Epstein style sweetheart deal to an admitted child predator? Why were you impeached by your own party? Why do you own 15 homes on a government salary?”

I'm so fucking tired of this timeline. Everything is worse. Trump made nothing better. Not a single thing. We're all living in an abusive relationship that a third of us wanted and a third warned about and the last third didn't give a fuck. Here we are in a psychopath's nightmare

I’m late to this party, but the Mavericks trading for Kawhi would be insane and I really hope they do not do it.
You’re gonna mortgage your precious remaining draft capital for an injury-prone 35-year-old when your franchise player is a teenager?
That’s what Nico would do!
The Mavericks and Clippers have discussed a trade centered around Klay Thompson and Kawhi Leonard 😳, per @TheAthletic
“The Mavericks and LA Clippers have discussed a deal that would send the seven-time All-Star Leonard to Dallas for a package that would include P.J. Washington, Klay Thompson and draft picks, league sources said.”

I strongly supported the President’s decision to take the fight directly to the Mullahs in Tehran last year and then again this year.
The President has earned some latitude in negotiating an end to hostilities but I just don’t trust the Iranians.
And I don’t be like what I’m hearing about the MOU... it smacks of appeasement.

Mr. President, completely agree about having a lot of fun over these next seven months.
But nitpicking? Some of your advisors are telling you to support things like:
- Using billions of taxpayer dollars to compensate convicted felons and thugs who attacked police. (Ed Martin)
- Pushing 50-year mortgages and Elizabeth Warren's housing bill over sound conservative housing policy. (Bill Pulte)
- Using taxpayer money to transform publicly traded companies into state-owned enterprises. (Howard Lutnick)
- Firing our very best generals and not holding Putin accountable for his systematic kidnapping, rape, torture, and murder of Ukrainian civilians. (Pete Hegseth)
If opposing these things makes me a RINO, then I gladly accept that nickname.
We need Republicans to do well in November, but the stupid stuff is killing our chances!

If you voted for Gallrein because Trump told you so, you're everything that is wrong with this country.

Hot take: Luka being clearly better than Shai throughout the entirety of their basketball lives until last season probably means he is better than him but the GM gap is too wide for 77 to keep proving it.

A must read from @ryanl_hass: “Trump’s comments placed him apart from the views of most American experts and officials, including those within his own administration, who judge that China’s steadily increasing pressure on Taiwan has been the principal source of rising tensions, not actions by Taiwan or the United States. In so doing, Trump did not reduce the risk of conflict. He raised it. Trump’s visible sympathy for Xi’s framing on Taiwan will embolden Beijing to increase pressure on Taipei. This will elevate – not lower – the risk of confrontation.”
