Vance misspoke. He said IQ test, but he meant to say cholesterol test.

Statement from the Office of U.S. Attorney Andrew Boutros:

If you watch the Obama Library, the World Cup, and the Knicks parade this afternoon -- and nothing else -- you can actually see the America we're supposed to be at age 250

Many powerful and important speeches given today. Be sure not to miss this one.

Love that Colbert chose a tan suit for the Obama library ceremony!

Trump really ought to walk through the Senate chamber buck naked tomorrow and demand that Thune conduct a vote on whether he’s clothed. The vote would be 52-47 yea, with Murkowski joining the Democrats as a no and Collins saying she’s too concerned to vote.

sad that clowns like this get elected to the Senate

The Ford Administration marked the Bicentennial on July 4 with an event at Independence Hall. Attendance was ~100,000. The day opened with Black opera singer Marian Anderson, the daughter of working class parents, reading Jefferson's Declaration of Independence. commerce.veritone.com/search/asset...

First charge is literally the same one they charged the Broadview 6 with. These people are going to walk either way, but they should ask for grand jury transcripts immediately.

As the government raids “antifa groups” in Minneapolis with the SAME charges levied against myself and the rest of the Broadview Six, we need to be asking how they got this indictment. And as charges (hopefully) get dropped, we must remember the process is the punishment.

Five corporations control 90% of the US media market. Airlines merged from 12 major carriers in 1980 to 4 today. Four giants control 80% of meat processing. The evidence of corporate consolidation is everywhere. It means more power for them and less freedom for you.

The Knicks victory is generating so much passion and excitement that if it ran in a primary election, Establishment Democrats would not support it.

These are the real people of Belfast. Thousands of anti-fascists rally against the far-right at Belfast City Hall today. They sent a clear message that racism is not wanted in their city. Things you love to see ✊❤

Doing god’s work. Great NYT pic of the rainbow at the Kennedy Center last night for the “Great Unnaming”

#BREAKING Federal prosecutors in Chicago have moved to permanently dismiss charges against two defendants in a fraud case tied to Loretto Hospital in what appears to be a bid to avoid a hearing over prosecutorial misconduct before a grand jury:

A federal prosecutor excused a grand juror who called the "Broadview Six" case a “crock of sh--.” When asked if the feds get "unlimited tries" to indict, she said, "I don't think we have to worry.” She said, "I don't charge people unless I'm absolutely sure": chicago.suntimes.com/immigration/...

The least Trump could do is call Adam Silver and ask him to find the Knicks 5 more points

OMG THE VIBES HAVE BEEN RESTORED!!! Donte DiVincenzo will be in attendance for Game 3 to bring balance to the Force!

The Trump Kennedy Center merch will be sent to those developing countries where they dump all of the T Shirts they print up for Super Bowl losers.

I've always treasured the guys who get the weird boxscore numbers. Josh Hart has a lot of them over his career. Tonight? 3 points, 15 rebounds, 6 assists, 4 steals, 0 turnovers. That is a crazy level of contribution and doesn't include his overall defensive play. The result? He was a +22.

The Dow is up over 51,000 today so everyone just pipe down about the rise of lawless authoritarianism in America and this full-bore run at fascism. Focus on what is important, people.

/2 Federal perjury investigations for testimony in civil cases are incredibly rare. Nearly unheard of. And I have absolutely never heard of one launched against the prevailing party in a case. Wanton and open corruption.

DOJ lawyers should not get a separate set of ethics rules just because they work for the government. When state bar agencies are pressured for trying to enforce accountability and a massive DOJ-controlled fund operates with no transparency, the rule of law starts to look dangerously selective.

If you’re wondering why these questions came today — Tash asked to be allowed to address her free agency in a single availability once the team got back home to Chicago. The beat accommodated that request, so she did a presser this morning after shootaround.

Gonna be honest with you, I expect Kash to be a national embarrassment but it seems like the bigger problem here is the Navy orchestrating this shit for him

The boozing is bad enough, but the T Shirts should have disqualified him.

Well this is fucking horrifying. Some of the most literally Nazi shit so far.

Rest in peace to Jason Collins, an unthinkably brave person and incredible leader for the LGBT community. Over a decade later and his coming out column is still an astonishing piece of writing. Wish the sport had caught up more and that he could have lived to see it.

Unhinged and dangerous. The American government is under attack from within.

Lincoln? A mook. Without Grant and Sherman, he was nothing. FDR? It took that guy nearly four years and all of the Red Army to battle the Axis into submission.

Isn’t this the sort of thing you know before you start talking.

Attorneys for the 4 remaining "Broadview Six" defendants briefly addressed press today following a hearing in which federal prosecutors said they planned to dismiss the main felony conspiracy charge against defendants. "This has been a failure since the beginning," defense atty Chris Parente said.
