@Odimera @CBSSportsCBB @UConnMBB Cayden Boozer in the Duke locker room after the UCONN game

The @UConnMBB bench couldn't believe this game-winner from freshman Braylon Mullins 🤯

@JoeGTucson @DMRussini 🤦‍♂️

@DMRussini That is really depressing considering he helped them win 3 Superbowls and won SB MVP 3X and also was named MVP of the league 4X I am sure someone will pick him up

NEWS: The Miami Dolphins are releasing QB Tua Tagovailoa, per sources. Tagovailoa, who led the league in passing in 2023, finishes with a 44-32 record over six seasons in Miami.

@MOSSADil Maybe should BE THE HALFTIME SHOW

🚨 THIS SHOULD BE THE SUPER BOWL AD AGAINST ANTISEMITISM 🎯 While the Super Bowl spot against antisemitism is being debated, A NEW VIDEO against antisemitism just dropped. And it actually lands. Hitting the core...A bullseye. What do you think? Stay connected, follow @MOSSADil.

@wingoz That whole GAME wouldn’t have mattered if they beat Cleveland prior game!

He got away with a terrible decision

@ChayasClan Scary stuff. Hurts because it may be accurate. Except for him drinking alcohol….

Whoever made this, it’s brilliant 😆 RIP New York

@TrumpsHurricane The whole world right now🤢

Jane Fonda says “I’m Ashamed Of America” What’s your response to her ??

@PGATOUR @the_skins_game @XSchauffele Good sport!

Big pay day for the X man 💸 @The_Skins_Game | @XSchauffele

@JamesPalmerTV Yet another ‘smart’ person using that phrase. Astounding way to state the opposite of what he meant. Couldn’t care less, people. Couldn’t…

Travis Kelce respectfully declined to talk post game. “If you’re going to ask me about the record, I could care less about that right now.” Obviously where things stands with the win loss record is more important to Kelce.

@S_HennesseyGD 1-Congratulations 2-imagine the joys and speed if more men did this 3-for the self proclaimed purists, the answer is supplied by the world system. 9.8 is 9.8.

First time breaking 80 … but played from the senior tees. Would you count it?

@Tonyvyncent @TheNBACentel 💪

@TheNBACentel She needs to be more humble and thankful for what she is already getting. Angel Reece is the reason anybody watches the WNBA and she doesn’t make this much fuss.

Caitlin Clark’s shirt: “I DESERVE NBA MONEY” 👀

@AGGold12 @mmpadellan Forth; sounds right.

@mmpadellan I love Trump I’d vote for him a forth time. But I still find this funny 🤣🤣🤣

OMG I'M SCREAMING 😂😂😂😂

@StockSavvyShay But he CALLED them Reciprocal 🙄

MY OPEN LETTER TO PRESIDENT TRUMP The frustrating part is that I was on board for a reset. Truly. I’ve said it publicly. I’ve written about it in this very feed. I understood the need for a detox. For decades, the U.S. economy played the part of the rich guy at the table -- picking up the check for a global order that no longer worked in our favor. We hollowed out our industrial base. We enabled unfair trade imbalances under the illusion of diplomacy. We subsidized demand for cheap imports while outsourcing the hard questions about how our domestic workforce would adapt. Eventually, that had to stop. It was unsustainable -- financially, politically, and morally. We couldn’t keep pretending that a consumption-led economy held together by zero-interest rates and global fragility was a long-term solution. I wanted a rebalancing. I welcomed the idea of a harder, smarter America-first policy that pushed for fair treatment, reciprocal agreements, and a real industrial strategy rooted in technological superiority, national security, and capital formation. That would’ve been leadership. But that’s not what this is. What you’ve rolled out isn’t detox -- it’s whiplash. This isn’t strategic decoupling. It’s scattershot retaliation dressed up as reform. There’s no roadmap. No operational playbook. No clear articulation of where this ends or what the metrics of success even are. It’s not an attempt to responsibly unwind America’s role as the global shock absorber -- it’s a brute-force attempt to disorder the existing system with no viable alternative in place. You can’t replace a fragile supply chain with chaos and call it resilience. You can’t build American industry by torching the scaffolding that underpins capital flows, labor mobility, and global coordination -- especially when the U.S. itself no longer has the domestic capacity to meet its own industrial needs. You talk about bringing jobs home, but the U.S. doesn’t have the labor force, permitting structure, or wage flexibility to stand up full-scale manufacturing at speed. And now -- after years of deportation policies and underinvestment in vocational training -- you’ve made the labor gap even wider. Capital isn’t going to rush to fill that void just because you raised tariffs. It’s going to wait. It’s going to sit on the sidelines and preserve optionality. Because right now, no CEO can confidently model a five-year capex plan. No board can greenlight supply chain onshoring when they don’t know whether a tariff rate will double next quarter based on your Twitter account or some arbitrary trade deficit formula. That’s the issue. This wasn’t rolled out as part of a comprehensive American renewal strategy. It wasn’t coordinated with the Fed. It wasn’t communicated clearly to Treasury. It wasn’t backed by a labor reskilling program or any form of public-private manufacturing incentive beyond empty slogans. It was dropped like a bomb -- seemingly designed more to shock than to build. And in the absence of credible structure, capital is retreating -- not realigning. I was ready to endure the pain of a thoughtful, structured reset. Most long-term investors were. We’ve lived through tightening cycles. We understood that globalization, as it stood, had reached a breaking point. But this isn’t a correction of imbalances. This is a rupture without scaffolding. What you’ve created isn’t reindustrialization. It’s an intentional sabotage of capital planning. No executive is going to build a factory with four-year political horizon risk, a floating tariff regime, and no labor certainty. No investor is going to fund expansion in a market where the basic cost of imports can change weekly based on what country has a current account surplus that week. The system you’ve launched isn’t designed for certainty. It’s designed for control. And the irony is -- we’re not even punishing bad actors. We’re punishing everyone. Allies. Poor countries. Longstanding partners. Israel gets slapped with 17% tariffs while dismantling their own to support American imports. Vietnam gets hit with 46% because it’s become too productive. Lesotho, one of the poorest countries on Earth, faces a 50% tariff because it doesn’t buy enough U.S. goods -- as if that were a sign of unfairness rather than poverty. It’s incoherent. It’s cruel. And it undermines any claim to moral high ground. You say this is about protecting American workers. But no worker is helped by policy so erratic that no employer wants to hire. No consumer is helped when import costs rise and domestic capacity doesn’t exist to replace them. No investor is helped when the cost of capital spikes in the face of weaponized uncertainty. This is not a plan to make America stronger. It’s a gamble that markets and allies will blink first. It’s brinkmanship with no floor. And the most maddening part? There was a path. A real one. A version of this policy that could’ve worked -- not in headlines or soundbites, but in practice. A path that applied pressure with purpose, that aligned economic force with long-term national interest, that sent a clear message to adversaries and partners alike without destabilizing global commerce or blindsiding capital allocators. You could’ve gone after China -- hard -- and had the backing of nearly every serious investor and strategist on the Street. Not just because of trade deficits or currency suppression, but because China has been actively undermining our economy and our people. I would’ve supported a four-year plan to end all dependence on Chinese manufacturing unless they stopped stealing American IP (DeepSeek). No more games. Make it explicit: if they don’t comply, we’ll back Taiwanese independence and bring the entire global semiconductor economy with us. No ambiguity. No half-threats. As I see it, China is at war with us -- and our policy should reflect that. With the EU, you could’ve played it clean. Match auto tariffs percent-for-percent. That’s fair. And then leave the rest alone -- especially goods and services. We run a huge surplus on services with the EU. It props up some of our biggest competitive advantages -- enterprise software, consulting, cloud, defense tech, streaming, media IP. Tariffing the EU outside of autos would be like shooting your own foot for balance. We’re not in a trade war with Europe. We're in a competition for global enterprise dominance -- and right now, the U.S. is winning. That’s what real strength would’ve looked like. That’s what an America-first trade doctrine could’ve achieved. You’d be rebuilding the system from the inside out -- not just throwing bricks through the windows and calling it a redesign. Investors would’ve backed it. CEOs would’ve planned around it. Global partners would’ve respected it -- even if they didn’t like it. And capital would’ve flowed toward American resilience instead of retreating from American unpredictability. But instead of that, you went with chaos. And now, confidence is shattered. Not because the numbers are bad -- but because no one knows what the numbers mean anymore. That’s the cost of burning down the rules without building new ones. So no, this is not the detox we needed. It’s not strategic decoupling. It’s not a path to renewal. It’s a slow, loud dismantling of the very foundation that has allowed American capital, innovation, and enterprise to dominate for decades. And it didn’t have to be this way. But now we’re here. And the market is reacting accordingly -- not to the fundamentals, but to the sense that the future may no longer be modelable. That’s not a trade. That’s an exit. I don’t want this post to be hyper-political. This isn’t about red or blue. It’s not about the 2024 election cycle. It’s not about ideology. It’s about strategy. It’s about execution. It’s about understanding that when you're the United States -- when you sit at the helm of the global economic engine -- every policy you roll out reverberates through capital markets, supply chains, boardrooms, and governments. Words become signals. Signals become pricing. Pricing becomes pain -- or progress. And I hope -- for the sake of the markets, for the sake of businesses trying to plan, and for the future we’re all investing into -- that it’s not too late to recalibrate. Because we don’t need more noise. We need a plan.

@RitchieTorres OMG

NYC Public Schools sent out a newsletter featuring Anti-Israel propaganda entitled “Stop Genocide Gaza Toolkit.” There is no place for ideological indoctrination in public education. An apology from the Department of Education is necessary but insufficient. The individual responsible for injecting personal politics into official communications—where it doesn’t belong—should be fired.

@AnthonyBetss Costed. Ok…

Refs got involved way too much. Costed Duke the game ultimately, INSANE

@Rate_the_Refs Nonsense call by the out of position ref.

Cooper Flagg called for a foul here. This gives Houston free throws on the other end. The announcers do not like the call

@soakie @jjcoop36 Three. 3. So clear to everyone Not rooting for Terps

@jjcoop36 apparently 3, but who's counting?

Cool shot.... How many steps are allowed nowadays?

@Erin_Molan Yes. Thank you.

So Mahmoud Khalil's wife put out a statement... I have some fairly strong thoughts... This week's episode of BAT BEEP CRAZY has just dropped...

@VividProwess Too true. Why not arrested?

“You fucking dumb bitch. I love Hamas. Open your window." This was in New York City. Wherever you see this flag 🇵🇸, there’s always violence, chaos, and terrorism. I wonder why.

@Jonnybtrades @AdamSchefter @Flash_Garrett 😂

@AdamSchefter As a Clevelander, the city of Cleveland doesn’t deserve you @Flash_Garrett. Thanks for your dedication.

From trade to truce and beyond: the Browns and Myles Garrett reached agreement today on a record contract extension that averages $40 million per year and includes $123.5 million in guaranteed money and now makes him the highest-paid non-QB in NFL history, sources tell ESPN. Garrett’s agent, Nicole Lynn of Klutch Sports and Browns GM Andrew Berry finalized the deal today.
