Lakers certainly have their work cut out for them. Basically have to approach a grade 2 as though Luka’s season is over, unless of course LA makes a particularly deep playoff run. Brutal blow for a team that had such a great run since the All Star break

Raha was one of the schoolgirls from Minab who was killed in a US double tap strike in Iran. Raha was found twice. The first time was by her father, Reza Zarei as he rummaged through rubble, dust, and body parts in the chaotic minutes after missiles struck the Shajareh Tayyebeh Elementary school in Minab. Raha’s body was limp and half of her face was covered in blood. The second time, two days later, in a morgue. Raha’s aunt, Farzaneh Bastami had begged to wash the lifeless body herself, a last act of care for her 7 year-old niece whom she had loved so dearly. But the traditional burial washers told her they’d be doing the washing later instead. They would cleanse Raha with soap and water, recite prayers over her, and wrap her small body in white cloth. Still, Bastami moved through rows of the dead, lifting shrouds one by one, hoping for a last glimpse of her niece. There were children without limbs. Bodies without heads. And then finally Raha. Raha, with her thick curly hair and contagious laugh, was an only child. Her mother, Fariba, had prioritized her career as a midwife for 15 years before she met Reza, a salesman, through one of her colleagues. Neither of them had been sure they would ever have children; when Raha was born, she became the center of their world. Photos by Mohammad Mohsenifar

Los Angeles Lakers star Luka Doncic is out indefinitely due to a left hamstring injury, sources tell me and @mcten. He will miss the remainder of the regular season and his status is uncertain beyond that.

@RealSpitfire Root? This isn’t a game where you cheer for one side or the other… bring our troops home

Watching Americans root for Iran and against the American pilots who are missing is so grotesque. This is how bad TDS has gotten.

America first

Unprecedented levels of flea-borne typhus, carried by rodents, in L.A. County. Friendly reminder that L.A. City and L.A. County have refused to enforce an anti-camping ordinance after the Supreme Court clearly said they could. Karen Bass and Lindsey Horvath are on the ballot.

They need to go full North Korea

This is a cluster fuck.. I can’t even imagine what kinda crazy shit these people are asking our men and women in uniform to do

@cesmrtt @MatsnnAdam He’s a coward.. I’m glad to hear he can’t touch you or your family

@MatsnnAdam Honestly I’m lucky. I’m in a position where he can’t hurt me and he can’t hurt my family. It’s just really eye opening cus you realise people do this to people who are in more vulnerable positions. And they do it on purpose.

And threats to call ICE on my family if I did not allow him to sexually assault me

An extremist group in Washington, DC has claimed credit for the terrorist attack on the Iranian bridge, promising further attacks on civilian infrastructure if its demands aren't met

@SecRubio Lying pos

China’s decision to detain or otherwise impede Panama-flagged vessels engaged in lawful trade destabilizes supply chains, raises costs, and erodes confidence in the global trading system. The United States stands with Panama against any retaliatory actions against its sovereignty and will always support our partners in the face of bullying. state.gov/releases/offic…

Who’s the terrorist?

@AdamSchefter @RandomKneeGro The goat

Comp update: Kirk Cousins will sign a five-year, $172 million deal with the Raiders that in reality is a one-year, fully-guaranteed $20 million deal that also contains a club option for two years at $80M. The Falcons will pay Cousins $8.7 million this season, the Raiders another $1.3 million and Las Vegas also agreed to pay its new QB a fully-guaranteed $10 million roster bonus on the third day of the 2027 new league year. And maybe most notably, it also sets another new mark: this will be the 11th straight NFL season in which Cousins’ contract will be fully guaranteed.

Jaden Ivey say he recently almost committed suicide by overdosing on oxycodone on multiple occasions.

Feel like we’re all glossing over how funny it is Jaden Ivey called Catholicism a “false religion” when his mom is the women’s basketball coach at Notre Dame

@BorderIrene @SenWarren What a load of brainwashed bs

@SenWarren He’s ending the one all coward past presidents refused to do!!!

Stephen Miller: “Trump = peace.” Tulsi Gabbard: “A vote for Donald Trump is a vote to end wars, not start them.” JD Vance: “Trump's best foreign policy? Not starting any wars.” Donald Trump: "My proudest legacy will be that of a peacemaker and unifier." Liars.

@PeteHegseth You’re a war criminal

Back to the Stone Age.

🚨 BREAKING: DOJ Announces FARA Enforcement Action Against AIPAC In an unexpected move this evening, the Department of Justice announced the launch of a formal investigation into the American Israel Public Affairs Committee (AIPAC) for alleged violations of the Foreign Agents Registration Act (FARA). AIPAC has declined to comment, but sources inside the organization describe the mood as "panicked."

Team Pacquiao insists that the fight with Mayweather is "still on" despite Mayweather's recent comments that it would be an exhibition. Also worth noting that Mayweather has already taken out an advance on his fight purse. My story espn.com/boxing/story/_…
