Sam Presti defines the real goal of leadership
“In this job as a leader, what you want to do is build teams that you wish you could have been a part of.”
“We talk about our seasons as chapters. In order to best understand your story, you need to see it horizontally, not vertically.”
“Every year, our goal is to repeat a process—not chase an outcome. The process is to position our team and organization so that, if we are fortunate enough to have things break our way, we can achieve ultimate success.”
“What makes great teams lasting isn’t that they defeated their opponents. It’s that they also defeated the circumstances that stood in their way during their journey.”
“We have a chance to be a team that makes our mark over time. But we will not make our singular mark every single time.”
“That’s just not how this works. NBA history tells us there are no final victories.”
A powerful read on the amorality of our president.
You're going to read a lot of articles in the next few days about Trump and corruption. But only one of them will begin with C. S. Lewis and end with Alasdair MacIntyre.

$200B for a war wiping out the supposed $150B 'savings' from DOGE which eroded our institutions and set us back decades. time.com/article/2026/03/20/…

The conversation @ezraklein has on his pod today with @TaNehisiCoats is just excellent, not easy to have, and the kind we need more of right now. Well worth a listen.
Alarming. The Stanford Center on Early Childhood’s RAPID project started surveying child care providers around the country back in 2021, when about 40% of workers said they struggled to afford a basic need. March of 2025, it rose to nearly 70%. the74million.org/zero2eight/…

Independence Day is a reminder that America is not the project of any one person. The single most powerful word in our democracy is the word ‘We.’ ‘We The People.’ ‘We Shall Overcome.’ ‘Yes We Can.’ America is owned by no one. It belongs to all citizens. And at this moment in history—when core democratic principles seem to be continuously under attack, when too many people around the world have become cynical and disengaged—now is precisely the time to ask ourselves tough questions about how we can build our democracies and make them work in meaningful and practical ways for ordinary people.
This tail will be long and deadly.
Republicans sided with Trump and his billionaire friends against hardworking Americans.
Don’t forget it.
ALT Graphic featuring Donald Trump with overlaying text that states: TRUMP JUST SIGNED HIS BIG, UGLY BUDGET BILL Over $1 trillion in Medicaid cuts 17 million Americans kicked off health care Rural hospital closures $3.3 trillion deficit increase Biggest ever cut in food assistance for families, kids, and veterans $1 trillion tax cuts for millionaires and billionaires

Here's what the Senate's bill would do:
Increase electricity prices in every state—as much as 25%.
Increase the number of uninsured Americans by 11.8m.
Cut food stamps funding by 22%.
It would do all that and still add $4.5 trillion to the national debt.

Wow, the trade union that represents America’s 3 million construction workers just said the Senate’s big bill would be “the biggest job-killing bill in our country’s history.”
They think it threatens up to 1.75 million construction jobs.
Today's action: call reps to block a bill that will allow developers to drill, mine and pollute our public lands unchallenged: paw.attn.tv/aUUjAxKasBjh @CelesteMaloyUT

The way they do it here, and the way they are starting to do it in your country, they don’t need to use too much open violence against us,” Péter Krekó, a Hungarian social scientist. “The new way is cheaper, easier, looks nicer on TV.”

Deporting parents and putting their 2yo in foster care in a different country while citing tatoos as evidence they are members of Tren de Aragua. This is inhumane and can't continue.

1. Be quiet, work hard, and stay healthy. It’s not ambition or skill that is going to set you apart but sanity.
The fight for life outside requires the right to vote. Join me in taking action with @REI and tell Congress to pass the John Lewis Voting Rights Advancement Act and Freedom to Vote Act today. #CooperativeAction rei.com/action/network/campa…
