I don’t give a damn who thinks Jalen Brunson’s 1A. He sacrificed 100 million to build a championship roster and dragged a franchise in a half century drought to the finals by being clutch. He’s 1A. Yall are arguing with people playing semantics. Reality is better.

66% want Medicare for All

79% want a 10% credit card interest rate cap
No more excuses. Democrats must deliver.

Stupid!
The Knicks have put trading Karl-Anthony Towns as an “option on the table” if they feel he is going to leave in the summer, per @SeanDeveney
(heavy.com/sports/nba/los-ang…)
Readers added context they thought people might want to know
The assertion that the Knicks have put trading Karl-Anthony Towns "on the table" if he might leave next summer is speculation from one paragraph in a Heavy.com article and is not corroborated by other NBA reports or sources.

Draymond actually a terrible person ts mad weird
Draymond Green on Kristaps Porzingis:
"No one’s sitting around bashing this guy or even worried about him, for that matter. In our minds, we’ve moved forward with the players that we have here... you can’t sit and worry about spoiled milk.”

I'm learning that Taylor Swift is basically the Caitlin Clark of music:
I actually really enjoy her music, it's fun & catchy. But her massive army of online fans is so insufferable, it makes me hope she retires & becomes a recluse so we no longer have deal with these weirdos.
Anything less than this energy is insufficient
"I don’t want Jared Kushner to be investigated because he’s the president’s son-in-law. I want him investigated because he’s potentially laundered and embezzled $2 billion dollars in funds from the governments of Saudi Arabia and the UAE. I don’t want Stephen Miller investigated because he’s a racist ghoul who’s at the center of the Trump brain trust. I want him investigated because he’s a racist ghoul who has violated the due-process rights of millions of people and, potentially, directly violated court orders. I don’t want Pete Hegseth investigated because he’s a toxic psychopath who is unqualified to lead America’s military forces. I want him investigated because he’s a fucking murderer who needs to spend the rest of his life in jail, either in this country or The Hague." thenation.com/article/politi…

The jump from 12% to 22% is the middle finger to the middle class.
THE IRS JUST RELEASED THE NEW 2027 🇺🇸 TAX BRACKETS. HERE'S HOW THEY WORK IN PLAIN ENGLISH
Every bracket got a little bigger to keep up with inflation, so you can earn a bit more before moving into a higher rate.
Step 1: Take what you earn and subtract the standard deduction. That part isn't taxed at all.
- Single: $16,600
- Married: $33,200
Step 2: Whatever's left gets taxed in layers.
Single filers:
- 10% on your first $12,800
- 12% on income up to $52,025
- 22% up to $109,125
- 24% up to $208,325
- 32% up to $264,550
- 35% up to $661,375
- 37% on anything above that
Married couples: the cutoffs are roughly double ($25,600, $104,050, $218,250, $416,650, $529,100, $793,650).
Example: You're single and earn $76,600. Subtract $16,600 and you're taxed on $60,000.
- 10% on the first $12,800 = $1,280
- 12% on the next $39,225 = $4,707
- 22% on the last $7,975 = $1,755
Total: about $7,742 in federal income tax, or roughly 10% of what you earned.
Even though you're "in" the 22% bracket, only your last $7,975 gets taxed at 22%.

Israel bait aside Zohran dropping “WE GOT THE PIED A TERRE DROPPIN ANYWAY” is the ACTUAL political mastery. Reporter throws a sports jab you didn’t see coming and you respond with “We’re about to tax the shit outta your all time great mercenary who doesn’t live in your city”?! 😮💨
“The point of winning power is to deliver for everyone.”
@NYCMayor @ZohranKMamdani masterfully handles Tapper’s latest Israel bait.
