Really cool how if you get a reputation for defense as a team you’re just allowed to foul constantly. Good system, thank you NBA refs.

Really impressive start to this game from the Lakers. On the road, rest disadvantage, missing the leagues leading scorer and they haven’t missed a beat.

I’m a progressive, but I think different subsections of the Democratic Party do different things very well, and the best version of the party moving forward takes a little bit from each of them.
This will vary by state, district, etc. but this is my ideal blueprint for the national party heading into 2028:
— “Name the enemy” progressive economic populism around billionaires, mega corporations, affordability/cost of living, etc. (à la Mamdani/Bernie/AOC)
— “Root out corruption root and stem” and litigating the case about how Citizens United is poisoning our country (à la Ossoff)
— “Love thy neighbor” empathy and tolerance on trans issues (à la Talarico/Hamilton/Warnock/Beshear)
— “America First, but not in a racist/assholic way” around things like tariffs, foreign wars, and spending our tax dollars at home instead (à la El-Sayed)
— “Reclaim patriotism and the American flag” (à la Ryan/Deluzio)
— “Get shit done” (à la Pritzker/Shapiro)
— “Humanely but effectively secure the border, treat immigrants with dignity & dismantle ICE” (à la Pulido/Gallego)
— “Protect our kids from preyed on by Big Tech” (à la McMorrow)
— “These data centers better pay the fuck up” populism (à la Hinojosa/Hong/Lawrence)
— “Let’s regulate the fuck out of these AI companies so we don’t all die” (à la Bores)

If Anthony Davis returned to the Lakers that would mean that Luka Doncic was traded from a finals team entering his prime for Max Christie and a first round pick
JUST IN: Anthony Davis would be eager to return to the Los Angeles Lakers, per @ScottKaplan
Imagine a AD & Luka duo 😳

Nah man LA has 87pts and Luka has 40 of them literally haven’t even see him touch paint once this has gone beyond shooting luck or variance he deadass might have traded his marriage and custody for aim-assist this is the craziest shotmaking scoring since Peak Curry
This blazers team kind of has the Lakers number they’ve got them in the mud tonight. Gotta sharpen up, find an edge. Blazers just look better right now.

It’s genuinely so refreshing to hear someone on TV plainly articulate reality. It feels like it’s been years since this was allowed to happen.
I've been in politics for a quarter century. It's hard to express how staggering it is to see a conversation like this on corporate US media. The Morning Joe panel gobsmacked by the directness of @AbdulElSayed's points.

Most Democratic voters want to replace Schumer, polling since 2025 consistently shows. This is not some fringe or "progressive" position. I'm not even sure it's primarily ideological. Schumer is 75, stumbles while speaking, was hospitalized last year - he's not up to the job

This map is a better understanding of how the voter map looks. Instead of filling in empty land with red, it shows you the reality of who Republicans are. Those people hanging onto the fringes of America's great cities. They rely on the Urban areas they slander.

Chuck Schumer and Hakeem Jeffries failed so dramatically as Minority Leaders that Trump was able to easily start a war, bankrupt the economy, and form an illegal private army of goons to brutalize and murder American citizens.
The entirety of the past two years, they have been directly complicit in the terrors of the Trump administration by capitulating to him at every turn, while attacking any leftist trying to stop him, and pushing dead-end candidates like Haley Stevens.
Get these fucking people away from the levers of power before they can do even more damage.

Abdul El-Sayed hasn’t even been sworn in yet, and he’s already shaking shit up in Washington.
He told CNN he’d back Chris Van Hollen to replace Chuck Schumer if he runs.
THAT is the kind of change we voted for. We didn’t vote for business as usual, we voted to shake the damn table.

I don’t want “revenge”. I want the people who have been openly, gleefully destroying the country, and breaking the law throughout, to be held legally accountable and prosecuted, which is the bare minimum for maintaining a functioning democracy. Incidentally, I also want revenge
