@4TaxFairness ..our system of government is broken.. they scorn everyday constituents.. their focus is on big money donors..remember them at the polls..

@krassenstein ... nothing-no-one is ever more important than himself

Trump is so disrespectful. He literally cut in front of Queen Camilla while she was shaking hands. Every day is another embarrassment for our country.

@44bettz ... WNBA games are not that high-scoring, so for Clark to record a 50+ point game, it would need be by design, and that's just not her style

I love cc but I wouldn’t bet this 😭😭 she does not have the whistle for that

@ultras_antifaa ... during the year, there will be a team needing her, she'll get picked up

Natasha Cloud is regarded as one of the most iconic players in the WNBA, both for her playmaking abilities on the court and her strong activist identity off it. However, with less than two weeks until WNBA training camps open and the season begins, she remains one of the league’s most notable unsigned free agents. Cloud has been one of the WNBA’s most consistent and outspoken voices on racial justice and, more recently, Palestine. With few athletes in mainstream American sports speaking openly about Palestine, her stance has drawn additional attention. Her still being unsigned is also being viewed in connection with her off-court positions, particularly her support for Palestine. In Natasha Cloud’s own words: “If all I do throughout my career is win games, then I’ve failed.”

@GrvntYoung ... in a league near 40% lesbian, should not even be a story

Paige Bueckers addressed the Azzi Fudd narrative perfectly. Set a boundary, acknowledged the media’s role, and brought it back to basketball

@JINVISIBLEWOMAN ... depends how much White holds-'em-back

I love seeing my Indiana Fever back together again… and starting off with a preseason win just makes it even better. Something about this group feels different. Be honest… how far are we going this year?

@Itszooqb123g ... Epstein was never going to be allowed to remain alive under any circumstances

The Epstein files.. I don't know about you, but I think someone who measured little girls with his fingers, ranked them on "tightness", r@ped them and auctioned them off On top of that, started an illegal war "to cover it up"; should not be the president He should be in prison

@kelelajolie ... this team will never be as good as all its talent, as long as she's in charge... get rid of her to be better

She literally said this last year as well😭😭why has a whole year gone by and she still can’t get her open looks…Caitlin still has to self create most of her shots while feeding everyone else THIS LADY NEEDS TO BE FIREDDDDD

@NBAdasMina ... nearly 40% of league players identify as lesbian, so what's the real story here

Paige Bueckers falou que não deixará que o seu relacionamento com Azzi Fudd afete o que acontece dentro de quadra: "Francamente, eu acredito que meu relacionamento pessoal com Azzi não é da conta de ninguém além de nós mesmas. [...] Nunca deixamos que nada que acontece fora da quadra se estenda para a quadra, e é isso que continuaremos a fazer." "Azzi Fudd foi a primeira escolha do draft porque ela mereceu, e isso não teve nada a ver comigo e tudo a ver com quem ela é como ser humano, com quem ela é como jogadora de basquete." via @alexaphilippou

@LqLana ... didn't ask for approval, he knew he wouldn't get it ... and we all know, it's going to be costing well-more than $400 million to complete

Republicans don't want to feed hungry children with our tax dollars. They want to use tax dollars to fund a ballroom so they can feed the rich. #DemsUnited #VoteBlue

@JINVISIBLEWOMAN ... she's a trip

Say it louder… is Sophie Cunningham the most entertaining player in the league right now? Dancing. Buckets. Fashion. Be honest… you either love her or you can’t stand her. There’s no in between.

@wnbareports ... approximately 38% of WNBA players identify as LGBTQ... so what's the story here

O relacionamento entre Paige Bueckers e Azzi Fudd sempre atraiu muito interesse dos fãs e da mídia. Recentemente, tal insistência por parte da mídia em saber o status de relacionamento das duas resultou em momento constrangedor em uma coletiva. Ambas vieram da UConn e ambas foram escolha número 1 do draft da #WNBA pelo Dallas Wings. Em poucos dias, entraremos na temporada 2026 e esse será o primeiro ano que as veremos jogarem juntas no profissional, pelo mesmo time. Com muitos rumores sobre relacionamentos amorosos e términos, hoje a Paige aproveitou o mídia day do Dallas para dar fim aos insistentes rumores da mídia: “Francamente, eu acredito que meu relacionamento pessoal com Azzi não é da conta de ninguém além de nós mesmas. E o que escolhemos compartilhar é completamente nossa decisão”. "Azzi Fudd foi a escolha número 1 do draft porque ela mereceu, e isso não teve nada a ver comigo e tudo a ver com quem ela é como ser humano, quem ela é como jogadora de basquete."

@trendyhoopstars ... believe she might surprise many people ... she's got talent, and w-new-team-coach another great opportunity

Angel Reese heads into Year 3 with a fresh start and one clear goal: helping her new team get past the first round of the WNBA playoffs. It has been eight seasons since the Atlanta Dream advanced beyond the opening round, and even with an established core featuring Allisha Gray, Rhyne Howard, and Naz Hillmon, the breakthrough still has not happened. That group has reached the postseason together three times, going a combined (1-6) in those playoff games. Across those series, one trend consistently appeared: Atlanta’s frontcourt struggled to control the matchup. In Game 1 against Dallas in 2023, the Dream’s starting frontcourt was outscored 22-15 in a seven-point loss. Reverse that battle, and Atlanta likely leaves with an 89-87 victory. In Game 2, the gap became even larger, as the frontcourt was outscored by 25 points in a 27-point defeat. The only playoff win Atlanta has recorded during this stretch also happened to be the one game in which its frontcourt outperformed the opposition. In Game 1 against Indiana last postseason, Atlanta’s starting frontcourt outscored Indiana’s 28-13 before being outplayed over the next two games, including a 26-21 margin in a decisive two-point Game 3 loss. In a league where frontcourt play can shape an entire series, adding Reese alongside Brionna Jones, Hillmon, and 6-foot-6 Madina Okot gives Atlanta a level of versatility and physicality it has lacked in recent postseasons. From July through the end of last season, Reese averaged (17.0) points, (12.6) rebounds, and (3.6) assists against playoff teams. Her value goes beyond scoring. Reese consistently creates second-chance opportunities for herself and her teammates, while also providing impactful rim defense. Atlanta is adding a player capable of creating offense, controlling the glass, and making plays for others. She also showed last season that greater offensive involvement directly affected team competitiveness. The Chicago Sky looked like two different teams depending on Reese’s scoring production. When she scored 15 or more points, Chicago went (6-10) with a -1.4 point differential. When she failed to reach 15 points, the Sky went (4-24) with a -15.3 point differential. The season before, Chicago also went (5-4) in games where Reese scored at least 15 points. If Reese was able to make a rebuilding roster more competitive through her offensive involvement, it raises the question of what that impact could look like on a more complete team. How far Atlanta goes this season may depend heavily on how involved Reese becomes offensively — and whether her presence can finally help the Dream move past the first round. 🪄

@hovah76 ... what-ever-reasons, deserved-not, Clark won over more hearts-minds than anyone else presently in the league ... translated into skyrocketing-attendance, sponsorship-deals, increased-TV-coverage, et al ... Wilson has longer-history.. Reese-Clark just starting theirs.. wonderful

@justwsports @T_Cloud4 ... sometime during the season she'll get picked up

Will Natasha Cloud be signed to a team before the season starts? (via @T_Cloud4)

@JINVISIBLEWOMAN @JeffXmemes ... gonna get slammed by-hard-screens on occasion ... refs at times call intentional-fouls, sometimes-not

That hit was intentional! Check out this slo-mo replay by @JeffXmemes

@massrepublican @Strandjunker ... w/o adequate-proper-oversight, any-all systems established are not going to work very well

How many people die in those countries waiting for care? Not zero! Having some medical debt but your ailment is looooong in the rear view mirror is better than waiting and letting your ailment fester and fester while you wait to receive “free” treatment Sometimes paying with money is better than paying with time. Imagine if every day was free coffee day at Dunkin’ Donuts? I’d rather just pay my damn $3 and be on my way than wait forever to get it for free

Number of people who go bankrupt every year because of medical bills or illness-related work loss: 🇦🇺 0 🇨🇦 0 🇩🇰 0 🇫🇮 0 🇫🇷 0 🇩🇪 0 🇮🇸 0 🇮🇪 0 🇮🇹 0 🇯🇵 0 🇳🇱 0 🇳🇴 0 🇵🇹 0 🇪🇸 0 🇸🇪 0 🇬🇧 0 🇺🇸 530,000 There’s a lesson there.

@PeriklesGREAT ... do women desire-making a nose-ring center of their facial-appearance

What do guys have against nose rings?? 🤔 Be specific & brutally honest !

@JINVISIBLEWOMAN ... part of her agenda is for Sophie, but that's understood, long as all rest comes along

Through the hits, the noise, the pressure… she shows up the same way every time. Compete. Lead. Win. Say what you want about Sophie Cunningham’s style, but you can’t question her mindset.

@Gianl1974 ... no president s/b allowed to do this on their own, w-NO-oversight.. just making no sense at all

Trump just fired all 24 members of the National Science Board. Every single one. By email. No warning. No reason given. The board has existed since 1950. The National Science Board is the independent body that oversees the National Science Foundation, the agency that distributes $9 billion in research grants every year. Its members are scientists and engineers from universities and industry. They serve six-year staggered terms specifically so they cross presidential administrations and stay independent of whoever is in power. On Friday, every single one of them got the same boilerplate email from Mary Sprowls of the Presidential Personnel Office: "On behalf of President Donald J Trump, I am writing to inform you that your position as a member of the National Science Board is terminated, effective immediately. Thank you for your service." That's it. That's the whole letter. For 76 years of institutional independence. The NSF funds the basic science behind MRIs. Cellphones. LASIK eye surgery. GPS. The internet itself. The Antarctic research stations. The deep-space telescopes. The research vessels mapping the ocean floor. Every breakthrough that made America the world's leader in science for the better part of a century traces back through grants this agency made and this board approved. The board chair, Victor McCrary, was actively advising Congress on Trump's proposed 55% cut to NSF's budget. The board was helping fight back. So Trump fired the board. Marvi Matos Rodriguez, one of the fired members, told reporters she had been reviewing an 80-page report as part of her board duties just days before being terminated. Keivan Stassun, a physicist at Vanderbilt, said NSF's leadership had already stopped responding to board oversight requests months ago. "We would ask them, 'Are you following board governance directives?' And their answer would be, in effect, 'We don't listen to you anymore.'" Now there's no board to answer to. Rep. Zoe Lofgren of California, the top Democrat on the House Science Committee, called it "the latest stupid move made by a president who continues to harm science and American innovation. Will the president fill the NSB with MAGA loyalists who won't stand up to him as he hands over our leadership in science to our adversaries?" That's the actual question. Because while Trump is firing American scientists, China is building research universities at a rate we cannot match. The CDC just buried a study showing vaccines work. RFK Jr. runs HHS. The EPA is gutted. The Forest Service is being broken. Half of American children are breathing dangerous air. And now the people who decide what gets researched in the United States have all been fired by email on a Friday afternoon.
