Once again, baffling that the Sixers gave Jared McCain away for a late first-round pick. He's going to be a key piece if the Thunder are going to emerge from the Western Conference Finals.

I know Spurs fans are annoyed by OKC, but at least this game San Antonio is getting a great whistle and selling their fouls. No real dog in this fight as a Warriors fan either.

Good article on some recent relatively good news. The overall homelessness numbers are down slightly, but the really big change is a big drop in unsheltered homelessness coupled with a big rise in sheltered. www.adn.com/alaska-news/...

Nothing makes someone look guiltier than forcing the Justice Department to promise never to investigate your taxes or prosecute you for anything they might find

You can't snarkily reply "let me Google that for you" anymore, because Google has immolated their own product.

I say without hyperbole that this is the most brazenly corrupt action in US Presidential history. That it does not immediately lead to impeachment is a dangerous sign of how far the rule of law has declined.

that's about a million dollars per pardoned J6 defendant btw

The Alaska Legislature wants the state’s development agency to finance new apartment complexes and other multifamily housing.

The largest federal reparations fund in US history goes not to indigenous tribes or descendants of formerly enslaved people or interned Japanese-Americans — but to J6ers who smeared shit on the walls of the US Capitol and attempted to hang the Vice President.

Coverage of confirmations always kind of annoys me, because yeah, ok, we rejected three people, and all three got in-depth discussion, and the reportinh makes us seem deeply divided. There's drama in that. But meanwhile we confirmed SEVENTY-TWO appointees today, the vast majority unanimously.

Dunbar said. “An attorney being asked to make those spurious arguments and sign on to an amicus brief that would repeal birthright citizenship should have resigned rather than go forward with that argument.” #akleg Thanks @forrestdunbarak.bsky.social

Watching a series of former Confederate states rush to eliminate any vestige of black representation in the House pretty much answers the question whether the Voting Rights Act was still necessary.

Julius Randle, on the other hand, is playing terribly.

Let me be the ten-thousandth person to say this: Dosunmu is so good. What the hell was Chicago thinking? #TWolves

Let's go Wolves!

An extremely courageous person who meant a lot to so many people.

The ADN published my op-ed on Glenfarne and the S-Corps loophole. The upshot is that this isn't really about Hilcorp anymore. share.google/P8lP3JLcQVFO...

We lost Douglas Adams 25 years ago today. This has made a lot of people very sad and has been widely regarded as a bad move.

The Alaska Senate just passed my bill establishing a Right to Repair for consumer electronics in Alaska. My office will be putting out more on my official channels later, but I'm encouraged by the fact that the legislation passed with a strong, bipartisan majority, 15 to 5.

This is the week, I can feel it.

Wow. Turned it on just in time to see Wembanyama's first ejection. Was the right call too.

Toss Wemby?

If John Roberts is "just calling balls and strikes" couldn't he be replaced by the Automated Ball-Strike (ABS) System?

“The dismantling of USAID, according to models from Boston University epidemiologist Brooke Nichols, “has already caused the deaths of six hundred thousand people, two-thirds of them children,” Gawande wrote.” hsph.harvard.edu/news/usaid-s...

Zach Lowe telling Bill Simmons that he doesn't like roast beef is his hottest and wrongest take ever.

the way Republicans brag about being the party of dismantling racism in the 1800s is like me bragging about how Yankees have 27 rings. OK if you knew how to do that 100 years ago isn't it even more embarrassing that you don't do it anymore

I know that I kind of beefed with Minnesota fans last year, but I have to say, I'm rooting for the T-Wolves these playoffs, with the Warriors out. Minneapolis has been going through it this year, plus I always liked some of your players (Ant, Dante, Mike Conley).

“The supreme court betrayed Black voters, they betrayed America, and they betrayed our democracy.” - Barack Obama

Mike Dunleavy vetoes a bipartisan elections bill aimed at ballot curing, tracking and easing barriers for rural voters — setting up a potential override after it passed with 39 votes.

I have spent my entire career listening to FedSoc types complain about liberal “activist judges” who “legislate from the bench,” and none of them are going to say a single blessed thing about Sam Alito rewriting the Voting Rights Act to say what he thinks Congress ought to have said

Warning There is an email going around offering processed pork, gelatin and salt in a can. If you get this email, do not open it. It's a spam.

Walked into a Pho place. They were playing a TurningPoint USA TV program. Walked out and won't be going back.

Recount confirms: Janice Park has won the Midtown Assembly seat in Anchorage!

If Trump somehow does come in and nationalize the natural gas pipeline, which Republicans here are now speculating about--with the $50 or 60 billion that would take--folks should absolutely thank @marypeltola.com. No way do they shell out that kinda cash unless they're worried about Sullivan losing.

Veronica Lambertsen, an appointee to the Alaska Police Standards Council chosen by Gov. Dunleavy, faced questioning from a Senate panel Wednesday over her social media posts about a wide array of conspiracy theories. www.adn.com/politics/ala...

They think you're stupid.

Congratulations, Virginia! Republicans are trying to tilt the midterm elections in their favor, but they haven’t done it yet. Thanks for showing us what it looks like to stand up for our democracy and fight back.

Billions in foreign real estate deals while serving as head of state. Billions in crypto deals while gutting regulation of the industry. Suing his own government and negotiating a settlement funded by the taxpayers. We're so numb to Trump grifting off the presidency that hardly anyone notices.

City law dictates that a recount be held if a candidate leads by less than 0.5% of the vote, and Janice Park was ahead by just 0.38%, as of Friday night.

SCOOP --> Paramount, Meta, and X are refusing to say what happened to their huge contributions to Trump's presidential library after Sen Elizabeth Warren raised questions about its fund getting dissolved. Ds say tens of millions remain unaccounted for. Details here: newrepublic.com/article/2092...

mRNA vaccines continue to show major promise. In a small Phase 1 trial led by Dr. Balachandran, some patients with pancreatic cancer (one of the deadliest cancers) reached 6-year survival. This is why sustained investment in science & research matters. tinyurl.com/f4n4anhk

80 years ago today, Jackie Robinson made his integrated professional baseball debut with the International League's Montreal Royals. He went 4-for-5 with a home run and two stolen bases in the Royals' 14-1 win over the Jersey City Giants at Roosevelt Stadium.

Missed the game last night because my wife and I were on a flight with baby Layne, but-- while it always sucks to miss the playoffs-- I can't help but feel relieved that the Warriors will get to pick in the lottery for the first time since 2021. In 2022, they won the title. Hope springs eternal!

It’s interesting that they need an act of Congress to stop the Iran strikes, but they didn’t need one to start

Genuinely funny that Sonia Sotomayor issued a public apology today for her mild criticism of a conservative colleague on a specific, substantive issue, and then a few hours later Clarence Thomas picked up a mic and was like ALL LIBERALS ARE AMERICA-HATING COWARDS

Curry is a Top 10 player all time! Argue with the wall.

This is more than legislation. This work is personal to me. theonion.com/illinois-bec...
