If James Dolan is actually going to force them to go to the White House against their will, I need everybody on the Knicks roster to hit up Jaylen Brown & the players association asap because that's some bullshit.

It's important to understand james dolan has two goals: - to make it in the music industry - to accuse the administration of an openly leftist mayor of being either chaotic (pro-Watch parties) OR authoritarian (anti-Watch parties) whichever one fits his mood in that moment

You know, if there's one thing I'm sure every Knicks fan was hoping for heading into their first NBA Finals this millennium, it's that, after two Knicks wins, things would devolve into public fights featuring the owner, the mayor, the president, prediction markets + influencers.

PabloReports: Ted Cruz called you a parasite and disparaged your work as a bartender. AOC: I think it’s funny that he’s been taking a government paycheck for 23 years but has the audacity to criticize someone who has come from a family that had to work their way up and earn their place here.

This is the sort of statement that was expected from every university president and law firm partner over the last year. That those statements weren’t made played a huge part in where we are now and people will remember.

Jerome Powell: "This is about whether the Fed will be able to continue to set interest rates based on evidence and economic conditions—or whether instead monetary policy will be directed by political pressure or intimidation."

The subtext in JD Vance asking for "patience" on the economy: When leaders stop talking about current conditions and jump straight to rosy forecasts, they’re signaling the present isn’t defensible. That’s your cue to scrutinize the numbers, not just the narrative.

Newsom: "Think about the state of mind of the VP. How do you square the circle when you go to a prayer breakfast? Old testament, new testament. What's the fundamental thing that connects John to Matthew to Proverbs? It's this notion of hunger, feeding the poor. It's central to advancing God's will."

One GOP operative didn’t hold back when speaking to Politico about Elon Musk: “He’s finished, done, gone. He polls terrible. People hate him. He’d go to Wisconsin thinking he can buy people’s votes, wear the cheese hat, act like a 9-year-old… It doesn’t work. It’s offensive to people.”

They told me if I voted for Kamala the market would crash, and then we’d probably have a recession. They were right. #BlueWave #BlueVoters #FuckTrump

Senator Cory Booker -- nearly 23 hrs into this -- is more coherent than your average elected official speaking (while seated) at an average legislative hearing. Even if you haven't been watching all along, dip in for a moment -- he is making considerable sense: www.c-span.org/event/us-sen...

NEW: China, Japan, and South Korea agree to “closely cooperate” in response to U.S. tariffs Anyone with half a brain & a basic understanding of the world could see that Trump’s relentless attacks on our allies will only isolate America & strengthen China
