Kiah Stokes was unstoppable in the Valkyries' Game 5 dub 😤 She was a menace on both ends of the floor recording 13 PTS, 8 REB, 3 BLKS & 3 3PM on 5-6 shooting! #WNBASeason30 | #2026WNBAFinals

The Valkyries saved the biggest celebrity in the building for last during Game 5 of the WNBA Finals on Monday, announcing Zendaya was at the game to raucous cheers.

The Golden State Valkyries have suggestions for how their fans should deal with a 9:30 a.m. Pacific start for a potential title-clincher in Game 6. Veronica Burton: "Call in sick. I recommend it." Kiah Stokes: "C'mon, y’all know how to fake a cough."

M-V-P chants breaking out postgame for Kiah Stokes, who has certainly played like it this series

“I dont know shout out to my teammates! I can’t hear anything!” - Kiah Stokes as she tries to talk over a loony Balhalla crowd

The Valkyries DEFEND home court to take a 3-2 lead in the WNBA Finals 😤 Veronica Burton: 13 points 8 rebounds 4 blocks 3 assists Kiah Stokes: 13 points 8 rebounds 3 blocks

KIAH STOKES IS NOT REAL !!! She's already the chief basket protector of Blockhalla and now she has multiple 3-pointers in game 5 !! #WNBASky #SkyHoops

Kia Stokes is incredible on defense. She also doesn't look like someone that can drain 3s but it looks effortless.

A Valkyries fan’s sign: “Move the Hawks game. Women = Prime Time”

This is what a Ballon d'Or-winning season looks like 👏

BREAKING: Game 6 of the WNBA Finals will be held Thursday at 12:30pm ET at Atlanta’s State Farm Arena, sources told ESPN’s Ramona Shelburne. It will be a double-header with the Atlanta Hawks’ game, which will be moved to 8pm.

NEW: Bishop William Joensen of Des Moines said the White House used a private prayer with President Trump “for partisan political purposes.” Milwaukee Archbishop Jeffrey Grob apologized Sunday. Pressure is building on the remaining 10 bishops to walk back their participation.

Here's a clip of Montse Alvarado being interviewed on EWTN. Alvarado is the first woman to lead Vatican Communications. To the outside world, it may sound as no big deal but in the context of the Catholic Church, this is huge. #EWTN www.youtube.com/watch?v=eAsE...

Huge event. Failed Jared Kushner/Trump luxury hotel project planned for Belgrade played a role in starting expanded protests against Vucic.

I just want to name that people overcame this. Even against a stacked deck, the good fight is worth it. Win or lose, it's worth it. And sometimes the good guys win.

Fighting #cancer is the hardest thing I've ever done. It's been an 18 year battle - now stage 4. I need to raise $ for my full body PET scan & the $4,900 Signatera tests (4x a year) insurance doesn't cover. 🔗 www.gofundme.com/f/help-a-mom... Please SHARE and help if you're able. I'm grateful. ❤️

Obama and El-Sayed should walk into a Waukesha Cheesecake Factory, while wearing tan suits*, then demand Dijon mustard on their sandwiches*, all while berating a plumber named Joe* for not giving enough credit to government infrastructure* for his success. (* These were all Obama-era scandals)

Humbled to have the 44th president with us in our movement to demand more for working people in Michigan. Change is in the air. 🤝

One proposal would move Game 6 to Friday, Oct. 30 and Game 7, if necessary, from Saturday, Oct. 31 to Tuesday, Nov. 3. That would mean three days between each of Games 5/6 and 6/7. The WNBA would support that proposal, but only if both teams agree to it, sources said.

There will be a Game 6 of the WNBA Finals in Atlanta. But nobody knows yet where or even when the game will be played despite a furious round of negotiations spilling into Sunday between the WNBA, NBA, Valks, Dream and Hawks. What we know, with @ramonaespn.bsky.social www.espn.com/wnba/story/_...

Here’s the relevant language in the DOJ lawsuit. It asks for the election not to be certified if Peltola’s margin of victory is smaller than the number of votes cast for the third-party Sullivan. (I expect this to be laughed out of court.) storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.us...

SHOW ME THE DOCUMENTS>>>>> We did something sort of crazy at The NYT this year, as we look for ways to dig into what has happened at the Environmental Protection Agency since Trump returned to the White House. We collected more than 466,200 pages of federal and state documents.....

Austin's Reverse Grid race delivered a maiden winner, a freshly crowned Champion, and career-first podium 👏 👏 👏 Texas nights don't get better than this. #F1ACADEMY #USGP

How does it feel to be CHAMPION, Alisha?! 😎 #F1ACADEMY #USGP

In January, a senior Pentagon official summoned Pope Leo XIV’s ambassador and lectured him on American military power. Then someone in the room invoked the Avignon Papacy. Vatican officials read it as a threat. The pope has not given an inch since.

Maybe Dear Leader will go "I am not a horse! Maybe a giraffe which was in the cognitive test that I aced".

wow -- a squirming Mike Rogers gets flustered as Kristen Welker points out that while he attacks El-Sayed over the Muslim Brotherhood, *Rogers himself* defended the Muslim Brotherhood during the same period of time that El-Sayed did!

The Indiana Fever have fired Amber Cox and had Kelly Kruaskopf step down from their front office. @tonyreast.bsky.social has the latest reporting on news - including that Krauskopf's conversations with ownership took place, specifically, during the World Cup break - and what's next:

Valks take Game 4, 67-62. This thing is headed back to the Bay tied at 2-2. And we have a guaranteed Game 6 back in Atlanta next week.

All-WNBA selections have been announced. First team: Olivia Miles, Caitlin Clark, Kelsey Mitchell, Breanna Stewart, A'ja Wilson. Second team: Paige Bueckers, Jackie Young, Rhyne Howard, Angel Reese, Shakira Austin

A wild story: the CEO of a US energy company whose plans were discussed during the Witkoff-Kushner-Putin negotiations resigns. Why? He learned that his company's main investor is a sanctioned Russian company, not the UAE www.nytimes.com/2026/10/23/u...

Honestly, I now totally get the whole "YMCA" thing...

Found some voter fraud. Surely Blanche will make arrests.

New — I wrote about Vivek Ramaswamy’s weaponization of Amy Acton’s childhood sexual abuse and how it’s only the latest symptom of a Republican party flush with rape apologists, led by an adjudicated rapist:

@devincow.bsky.social Hey! :) Can you please help us by sharing the post below? We would appreciate it so much!

Another Ke Huy Quan post. Here's his interview with author/professor Adam Grant. Ke seems like a very genuine person... 🙏 www.youtube.com/watch?v=sS5d... #KeHuyQuan

Of all the architectural destruction Trump is doing to DC, this is the one I feel is the most abhorrent. (cartoon from 2025)

‼️Speed restrictions for Starlink and Starshield are still in effect, — Zelenskyy

This part. Kushner is whining about the vanity fair story — meanwhile what is already verified and widely reported is corrupt enough as it is.

Thank you, Monica Alba (NBC) for asking this question and persisting. Thank you also for speaking plainly (i.e., "for raping his stepdaughter") – this is exactly the way the question should be asked and what people need to hear. This is what will trigger Trump. He's about to go full Colonel Jessup.

Vivek Ramaswamy is a truly terrible candidate for MANY reasons, including his recent choices in this campaign, so it's very funny to me that "his favorite sport is tennis" is so disdainful and prominent in this attack ad against him.

Absolutely 👇

Not only should we release the Epstein files, we should also release the browser history of every single Republican who defends Trump. 

Q: “Do the sexual abuse allegations mean nothing to you, sir?” TRUMP: “You’re a fresh person. A horrible little reporter.” Trump lashes out at another female reporter @albamonica as she asks about Trump’s support for Vivek’s disgusting attack ad weird Epstein’s bestie wouldn’t care about abuse😕

He was ready! (She wasn’t😬)
