Reupping this story from @majorityreport.bsky.social @samseder.bsky.social ! Tensions between West Wing/VP are normal, but the Biden White House went out of its way to minimize Kamala Harris. So much so it was weird. I don’t know the political purpose this memoir serves, but… (1/2)

NEW: JPMorgan, the largest US bank, enabled the crimes of Jeffrey Epstein. The bank lent him money, created accounts for his victims, disregarded suspicious transactions and overruled employees who raised concerns. @mattgoldstein26.bsky.social @jsgatnyt.bsky.social www.nytimes.com/2025/09/08/m...

Four Al Jazeera staff, including reporter Anas Al Sharif, were killed in an Israeli attack on a tent for journalists outside the main gate of Gaza's al-Shifa hospital aje.io/onll19

Grateful to be named 2025 Journalist of the Year by NABJ — an organization that has so shaped my life and career. I have many people to thank. But I also want to dedicate this award to every journalist who focuses their reporting on those political systems would rather ignore… (1/4)

[rt Jennifer Medina]

His show is blowing up. The awards keep coming. And now Jordon Hudson is attacking his credibility. But there is WAY more to @pablo.show's story — and this moment — than you know. www.nytimes.com/athletic/632...

That Spurs haven’t sorted manager situation yet feels absurd. I think squad improvement matters more long term than whether Ange stays or goes but the uncertainty/growing risk of player + fan backlash feels like a bad omen all around. A big Levy summer off to wrong foot

Never argue with a Knicks fans. Just wait and circle back

[qt Bobby Marks] Notice how there's no active podcasters in the Finals

A big issue in media also! So many journalists trying to be the smartest person on the TL that they don’t produce any work that lasts. An editor told me several years ago “stop giving away ideas for free.” Changed my life

Thibs maximized that roster — looking forward to next years regression so we can have the long overdue convo that Becky Hammon was right abt Brunson

in this essay: the ideology of amateurism and the development of modern organized sports; the history of PED use and their regulation; transhumanism and Silicon Valley's obsession with death; athletic labor and the body thebaffler.com/after-the-fa...

Elon Musk’s legacy is more than chainsaws and reported drug use. It’s using DOGE and the pretense of “government efficiency” to fire thousands of workers and more importantly — pick legal fights about executive authority that will live far beyond his time in government. On @ThisWeekABC

😭😭😭😭 This is killing me. Americans are never beating the allegations

😭😭😭😭 This is killing me. Americans are never beating the allegations

Incredible goal — just as the first one. Grateful to have Luis Enrique back in club football. He’s levels above

[qt Tim Barker] Professional Democrats are very used to every losing campaign being blamed on the electorate or the individual candidates flaws. I’d hate me too

Ange Postecoglou's statement about winning things in his second season was bold before tonight. Now those words are immortal.

Ange Postecoglou said he always wins something in his second season. He is a man of his word. Tottenham have beaten Manchester United 1-0. They have won the Europa League. Their 17-year trophy drought is 𝗼𝘃𝗲𝗿.

I cannot stress more believing in stuff that isn’t politics. It comes true

How I feel right now

I’m just blessed. Sorry yall 😭🤣🤣🤣🤣

Where I’m at right now

Zendaya getting an earful about Lenny Yoro right now 😭😭

So many Spurs shirts on the subway today 😭😭❤️ see how big this club is when it’s not embarrassing us

Had to get all the politics out before midnight 😭😭😭 COYS I’m locking in now

[qt self] The lecturing tone of Obama to Black men in 2024 is instructive here — the party’s default setting to young men / men of color is to demean. If you want a liberal Joe Rogan, start there

One last time: Even before the June debate, 86 (!) percent of Americans thought President Biden should not run for a second term — incl 73 percent of Democrats. So if there’s a scandal here, it is simply one of political hubris — a Democratic establishment who told themselves… (1/2)

and another thing: im not fascinated by idi amin. please dont put in the newspaper that im fascinated by idi amin. nymag.com/intelligence... h/t @alexnpress.bsky.social

[qt @curlyfro.bsky.social] Stan culture won. Sports. Politics. Pop culture. Everyone’s a barb now (derogatory)

If you were curious where “Da Pope” sat during Game 1 of the 2005 World Series, well, you got an answer Monday afternoon. The White Sox unveiled a mural just outside Section 140, where Pope Leo XIV watched Bobby Jenks close out the Astros. http://dlvr.it/TKtNhd

[qt Kayla Parrilla] Told this to a friend last week. Make peace with Caitlin Clark now or you’re gonna be on the wrong side of bball history. Her game will eventually make all this discourse look very small

[rp @hpbasketball.bsky.social]

Palace winning trophies. Kane winning trophies. Pope from Chicago. Wednesday is our timeeeeeeee

The way Pep manages finals is so unhinged. Insistent on winning titles his way with his genius at the forefront. Galaxy brain stuff

I love hating the Knicks but yall should consider it a compliment. The city is so much better when the Knicks are good. The sun shines a little brighter. I talk to my neighbors more 🤣. And MSG is really unmatched. Last night was incredible

[qt Alex Thompson] I’ll say it — a huge reason this worked at the time is lack of diversity in media. Dems spent last several years repeatedly using race/identity as a shield, and relying on the fact media that replicated its blindspots to ensure lack of accountability. They’d roll out an…

The Indiana Pacers are 3-2 when they go down by 15 or more this postseason.

A prophecy fulfilled

Biden and inner circle acted selfishly but it would not have been possible if a whole bunch of careerists didn’t fall in line and place deference to tradition and job preservation above anything else. Dean Phillips and Julian Castro were sidelined for saying the obvious. A whole bunch of electeds…

40 years ago on this date, police dropped a bomb on a West Philadelphia neighborhood

[rp @madeleinedupre]

[qt @daveweigel.bsky.social] Totally forgot about SC calendar switch. A testament to Biden’s power grab of early 23 & the ways the party was cynically using the language of representation at that time. Gonna be interesting to see if they switch it again by 28 or it’ll shape field in unexpected ways

Yessss Chicago aka Southside aka GODS COUNTRY. Interviewing @hasanthehun today at Rubenstein forum in Hyde Park, courtesy of @UChiPolitics. Come thru irl or virtually

CPJ honors Palestinian-American journalist Shireen Abu Akleh on the 3rd anniversary of her murder — a trailblazer for women in journalism and a trusted voice for millions of viewers. We continue to call on the U.S. to investigate her killing by Israel and to hold those responsible to account.
