Yeah Porzingis isn’t gonna take a major discount. Which is fine. As long as he is consistently available. But yeah, it’s either him or Melton. Not both. And if/when forced to decide, they’ll go with the big man.

Imagine unexpectedly dapping up a President at Waffle House 🤣

I’m running for Congress in Virginia’s 7th Congressional District! Here’s why:

Bam Adebayo is such a perfect player to get that record. Just good enough that it doesn’t feel completely unbelievably insane but it’s SO borderline. It’s like Cory Booker being elected President.

It’s honestly impressive given how catastrophic 2024 was for Dems that they haven’t gone full on Blue Tea Party. 42% of Dem primary voters still saying they prefer a candidate who has the best chance to win (over one that comes closest to their views) actually shows a fair amount of discipline — especially at a time when they are extraordinarily angry and anti-establishment fervor appears to be on the rise. And still 15 points higher than the same for Republicans primary voters!

Gerrymandering is a plague on democracy, one that Gavin Newsom has brought back to California. But there’s a way we can fight back and protect our democracy from his partisan games: by removing partisanship from the equation. Today, I filed for reelection as “No Party Preference.” This means I will not have a party affiliation on the ballot or as an officeholder. That’s how it already is with most offices in our state: mayors, city councilors, school board members, county supervisors, sheriffs, and DAs are all nonpartisan. As an elected representative, I’ve always seen my role as being an independent voice for our community, holding politicians in Sacramento and Washington accountable to serve my constituents. I answer to you, not party leaders. That’s the kind of representation I believe the newly-drawn Sixth District deserves. It is no secret I’ve been frustrated, at times disgusted, by the hyper-partisanship in Congress. In the last year it’s led to the longest government shutdown in U.S. history, a massive increase in healthcare costs, and of course, a pointless redistricting war. The epidemic of gerrymandering has spread from Texas to California to states all across the country. Both parties are complicit. If there is one thing Americans agree on, it is that political division has become a serious problem for our country. We need to find ways for politics to bring us together as Americans rather than tear us apart as partisans. That means, for example, finding pragmatic solutions to make life more affordable rather than each side blaming the other for why it isn’t. We are also living in a moment of dramatic transformation, where technological change could bring incredible opportunities along with unfamiliar risks and dislocations. The ordinary rituals of partisan politics are simply inadequate in these extraordinary times – are simply incapable of meeting this generational challenge. Our ability to work as one team, serving all Americans, is now more important than ever.
