🚨BREAKING: Men posed as ICE agents and detained and assaulted a woman… and Tom Homan is telling everyone that they just have to comply with this. A woman was driving on Highway 211, in Oregon, when a vehicle with flashing red and blue lights pulled behind her. Believing she was being stopped by law enforcement, she pulled over. Two men approached her vehicle, one was carrying a rifle, and they claimed to be ICE agents and told her she was being detained. They pulled her out of her car, searched her, and put her in the back of their vehicle. Then, a third man… who remained inside the vehicle… assaulted her. He told her he was the “guard.” The men were wearing tactical vests labeled “POLICE,” carrying fake badges, and wore face coverings. They held her for nearly 20 minutes before telling her she was free to go… and then she drove herself to the hospital. And while she was there, she reported that she started receiving text messages from someone claiming to be a law firm offering legal representation for her detention. Federal authorities later confirmed this was NOT an official ICE operation… These were people pretending to be federal agents. And this is exactly why Tom Homan telling people to “comply” with anyone claiming to be ICE is so incredibly dangerous. Because what is a person supposed to do when someone in a tactical vest, carrying a gun, pulls them over with flashing lights and says they are federal agents? Just trust them? This is not about telling people to resist legitimate law enforcement. This is about the government normalizing a system where anyone can look like an armed federal agent, claim to have authority over you, and expect you to obey without being able to verify who they are. That doesn’t make people safer. It makes everyone more vulnerable to being kidnapped, assaulted, or killed by criminals who know they can pretend to be ICE.

@0xBassey And his ESPN just turned his mic on even louder

Stephen A. Smith says marijuana should not be allowed in the NBA because he considers it a performance-enhancing drug “I consider weed a performance-enhancing drug.” “It helps calm your nerves.” “Nerves are part of competition.” “If you’re using a drug that allows you to calm your nerves and it elevates your poise, that’s a performance enhancer because you are immune to the pressure.” “It’s Game 73 and you gotta go to the free throw line with two seconds left. You gotta make both to tie the game. That’s nerves.” “If weed is something that helps that, that’s a performance enhancer.” “It should not be allowed.”

💯 Huge Billy D shout out to Beno at Hoop Dreams Basketball in Portland 🏀 His dedication to Northwest hoopers has changed many young men's lives 💪🏼 Pull up those big boy pants when you come to the Sal! Beno tells you want you need to hear, straight up! ‼️ But those who listen and respond . . . will THRIVE @hoopdreamsbball

@velodus Same for me! JB obviously has championship experience and still in his prime. But LeBron role isn’t to carry anymore, it’s to teach and show the way to a young, talented roster in Philly like Pip did in Portland.

To me, the best comp to LeBron going to Philly isn't Hakeem in Toronto or Ewing in Seattle: it's when Scottie Pippen went to the Blazers, because Pippen joined a loaded Blazers team when he was no longer in his prime and they won 59 games and should've won the title in 2000.

The corrupt Trump administration has just admitted to withholding taxpayer dollars from states based on how they voted. Last I checked we were a democracy, not a dictatorship. Where the hell is Congress?

@wolfblitzer @CNN @kaitlancollins You both are gold standards in journalism.

I was honored to present my @cnn colleague @kaitlancollins with the White House Correspondents Association “Excellence Under Deadline Pressure” award last night. I pointed out the judges were “awed” by the “depth of knowledge, access and context” that she brought to the news.

Ryan Clark confirms ESPN executives leaked his firing to Outkick (a MAGA website) so the MAGA cult can celebrate his firing. He says ESPN executives didn’t like how he stood up for Black people, including Angel Reese.

@nytimes Treason - defined in Article 3 of the Constitution as waging war against the nation. Requires an overt act witnessed by at least two people, or a confession in open court, to secure a conviction.

Well this is just the sweetest thing. Bam asked A’ja dad for her hand in marriage and saying he’s the dad he’s always wanted. 🥹🥰

@BulwarkOnline “Welcomr the country’s National Embarrassment, ladies and gentlemen, President Donald Trump” At least the evening was all about him (and his corruption).

Trump: "I want to personally congratulate CNN's Kaitlan Collins on receiving her award. It was all about me. It was a fake, she shouldn't get the award, it was a fake — but I didn't mind, I said, 'Kaitlan, congratulations.' But it was fake, there's no question about it. She's a young, attractive woman. She never smiles. I said, 'Kaitlan do you ever smile?' Smile. You have a nice position, you're at CNN fake news. You should be a happy person. So smile, Kaitlan, just smile."

🚨OMG: Wolf Blitzer just presented the Wall Street Journal an award for uncovering Trump’s ties to Epstein and reveals Trump doxxed the journalist’s home address in his lawsuit causing her to move. Trump is sitting humiliated as Karoline Leavitt comforts him. This is unreal.

@dinahgirl88 @CalltoActivism Convict him once, his supporters don’t care. Convict him over and over again, his supporters say everyone else is at fault.

@CalltoActivism This is like a journalist circle jerk and they have no idea that the majority of the country has no faith in what they report. Fool us once, shame on them. fool us twice …we’re not interested. ✋🏻

🚨HUMILIATED: Trump is forced to sit through the White House Correspondents’ Association dinner as journalist Zeke Miller is honored for exposing a leaked story revealing Trump fired National Security Council staff who weren’t loyal to him. Look at Trump’s face! He is FUMING.

@HQNewsNow Today’s medical fumble is again brought to you by RFK - “Who needs science when we have conspiracy theories and suspicions?!?”

The CDC announces 2,318 new measles cases in 2026, already surpassing the surge of cases in 2025. More measles cases have been reported since Trump took office than in the last 25 years combined.

@koenighusky32 @PeteThamel Coach Rev had Portland ranked in the top 25 nationally. A rare feat for the Pilots.

@PeteThamel Not a great hire. He sucked at Portland

Sources: Brown is set to hire Stanford associate head coach Eric Reveno as the school’s new head basketball coach. He’s a longtime college coach with significant experience at academic schools and 10 years as head coach at Portland.

@BlazersLead @wweek All this while the product on the floor is improving. I feel for Kevin and the rest of the former Blazers employees who were unceremoniously let go this offseason.

Kevin Calabro spoke with the Willamette Week (@wweek) after the Blazers essentially fired him “It was a really disappointing offer that was not hard at all to turn thumbs down on and realize that there was not much seriousness on the other end to get a deal done,” Calabro said, “which is fine if you want to end the relationship. Well, that’s one way to do it, I suppose.” Calabro said his agent "doggedly" pursued an extension with the Blazers well before the contract ended on June 30, and after, but the Blazers avoided contact with them until Monday, when the Blazers made the "subprime" offer Highly suggest you read the full article by Robert Ohman: wweek.com/sports/2026/07…

@FastbreakHoops5 Competitor

Describe Michael Jordan in a single word.

@TomCrean Agreed! Professionally, have your ringer off. Professionally, don’t threaten to throw a podium at ANYONE.

He can’t be serious on embarrassing that person. Do you think they meant for the Phone to go off ? Did it really need that performative reaction ? At least you got laughs at that persons expense. They DON’T work for you or play for you. Their job is important to them too!!
