🆕 What do NBA scouts think of Anthony Davis, Trae Young and the 2026-27 Washington Wizards? I asked the scouts for their unfiltered opinions. The story link below from @theathletic.com is unlocked, so it's free for everyone to read: www.nytimes.com/athletic/707...

This is how the Wizards avoid fines. When Sarr inevitably plays before Young it will be "ah, well, nevertheless!"

far too much ink spilled on the question of whether the president can just tweet out that he's like mad at canada so everyone has to pay a new tax to make him feel better

Yesterday morning kids were sent running from their bus stop in panic because ICE showed up. This guy at today’s ICE Out of Lindenwold protest is a must watch 😭. @maddow.bsky.social

Hello, I wanted to share a serious situation that affects a father of two who is a friend of the family and has just detained by ICE. He has no criminal but now he faces indefinite detention in inhumane conditions. Please consider donating to help fund his legal fight. gofund.me/0171d9012

these attorneys should all be ID’d too

The extent to which this administration personally targets and continues the assault on people who embarrass and shame it is particularly despicable.

every big NBA trade is like "we sent Washington every player we have and got ten dollars"

Exactly what Eric said.

For non Wizards knowers...the Wizards just traded Marvin Bagley and some late first rounders for Anthony Davis, a year after the Mavs traded Luka Doncic to get him. They'll keep him and Young out the rest of the year, get a top pick, and then roll with what they got for a year and see how it goes.

Check this out motherfucker [trades one third of my roster and some picks to another losing team for the most injured man alive, unclear what kind of move I was trying to make]

I wanted to share a GoFundMe campaign that’s supporting the journalists laid off from The Washington Post. Thank you for your kindness! gofund.me/1c6d668cd

It's definitely shaping up to be an insider vs. outsider race, with McDuffie getting many fewer donors from DC than JLG, but ~ about the same amount of money so far after matching, and more Wilson Building / Bowser pal insiders

New territory. Must read story from a colleague. www.washingtonpost.com/investigatio...

Should probably just sue the government to stop the demolition of the Kennedy Center now, we all know what's about to happen

Wiz and Kings about to tipoff in D.C. with big Tank Commander implications:

In @nytopinion.nytimes.com Federal immigration agents detained a 5-year-old prekindergartner named Liam Ramos this month. His classmates miss him, so they decided to write letters to the agents who took him. “Dear ICE,” one student wrote, “You are scaring schools, people and the world.”

"Here is what I know: My daughter died alone, pleading for someone to come get her. I couldn’t." www.nytimes.com/2026/01/29/o...

Since we published this, Pam Bondi's X account has started posting mugshots of Minnesotans arrested for impeding ICE/CBP. Sharing a defendant's photo publicly in this way is forbidden under DOJ rules

I wrote about my childhood friend Alexi Pretti. Please read it and share it and remember him as a human being. @theverge.com

really quite funny that weiss is a one-trick pony and that trick is “give jobs to my dumbass friends”

Klobuchar: "Somehow 50,000 peaceful protesters in 10 below weather were able to march without any problems, and then the next day half a dozen ICE and CBP agents couldn't handle a guy with a cell phone taking video of them and shot him. I think it's pretty obvious what's going on here."

Absolutley heartbreaking that parents of a man gunned down by federal agents have to put out a statement because the president and his cowardly minions are defaming their son. We’re way past sick.

Kare 11 local news just read, in full, this statement from Michael and Susan Pretti, the parents of Alex Pretti. "Please get the truth out about our son."

No one believes her.

Literally 10 days ago, this hypocritical jackass introduced a bill to make concealed carry easier across the nation to help "law-abiding citizens to more freely exercise their Second Amendment rights." www.hoeven.senate.gov/news/news-re...

He wants to kill more Americans.

A video of ICE agents apparently killing a man, shooting him several times while he's on the ground. They run away from his corpse.

"Liam’s teacher, Ella Sullivan, teared up when thinking about Liam. 'He’s a bright young student,' she said, 'and he’s so kind and loving. His classmates miss him.'" www.startribune.com/preschooler-...

Extremely tired of politicians talking like this about me and my friends and family. Many such cases!

REPORTER: The Capital Planning Commission is concerned the 89,000 square foot ballroom is going to dwarf the rest of the rest of the WH. Do you worry about that? TRUMP: No no. People love the ballroom. We need it. If we would've had the ballroom today, we could've had all the oil companies there.

In which the vice president justifies firing 2 shots through the side window into a mother’s head

One of the silliest parts of this is that it's about a murder. So the person with the gun naturally disagreed with the premise that we all have to live with each other.

Dog won't hunt.

Breaking News: U.S. agencies blocked Minnesota officials from investigating the fatal shooting a 37-year-old woman by a federal immigration agent, a state official said.

this is extremely well done

well deserved reinstatement and 6 figure settlement for a public employee fired for exercising his first amendment right to criticize (in this case quite obliquely) charlie kirk. this should be the first of many to come. www.mediaite.com/media/news/p...

The Players' Tribune for white house officials.

Woman comes to US at age 6. Graduates nursing school. Work permit. No criminal record. Snatched and imprisoned by ICE for 6 months now. About to be forced back to Honduras. A life destroyed and one less nurse. Merry Christmas. www.nola.com/news/educati...

Hahahahahahhahahahaha what an absolute loser

Can't imagine a more pathetic use of Seal Team 6. From killing Bin Laden to murdering unarmed civilians floating in the middle of the ocean.

HALFTIME: Rockets 81, Wizards 54. Houston closes its highest-scoring half this season on a 20-6 run. The Rockets have 20 assists on 30 field goals, have four players in double figures and are outrebounding the Wizards 33-14. Blood bath.

Technical foul for being mean on Cam Whitmore, love Cade Cunningham pretending to go to the locker room until it was clear Wizards would get hit with that tech.

The vote was 53-47 in honor of the 5,347 fundraising emails the democrats are all about to send out

Guarantee people who need them extended want them extended more than this US Senator who just voted for a bill that didn't include them.

This wouldn’t happen if we still had a 92% top marginal tax rate, because obscene and dangerous payouts like this would be pointless.

Carrington should have come to that heroic save from Champagnie. Just stood there and White stepped in front of him. What's up with him this season?
