I think we found where the cuts should be made!
Readers added context they thought people might want to know
Retired presidents get ~$253k/yr pension (Exec Level I rate), not $450k. Congress members do not get full salaries for life; pensions avg $45-85k based on service (not automatic full pay). SS retired worker avg ~$25k/yr, not $12k.

BREAKING: Oklahoma City's Jalen Williams has a dislocated left ankle and fractured fibula; Cason Wallace has a torn labrum in his left shoulder. Both will undergo surgery and be sidelined for several months -- most, if not the entire season.

Orlando Magic guard Jalen Suggs has been diagnosed with a mild bone bruise in his right knee and will be re-evaluated in two weeks, sources tell ESPN. Suggs avoided any other major structural damage.

I'm rooting for them, obviously, depth is an issue. 7 men ain't gonna do it when LeBron's gotta be the backup center. Although he can line up with damn near every center in the league but Wemby, Jokic and maybe Gobert, they need a true option at center, Bona ain't it either
The Philadelphia 76ers are AWESOME.
It’s going to work.
They can absolutely win the title.
I don’t know how anyone could possibly disagree, and I felt that way before last night.
If Embiid plays defense like that…

Lebron can play center against every center in the East. Wemby and Jokic are probably the only ones he can't match up with a whole game
Sixers guarded New York straight-up in the first half, but have since inverted the matchups, with Joel Embiid roaming off of Josh Hart and LeBron James defending Karl-Anthony Towns.
I asked Nick Nurse yesterday about the pros and cons of inverting the 4/5 matchups. He said...

What was once the second largest crypto exchange in the world still owes half a billion in Bitcoin to thousands of customers.
Are the FBI investigating?

Damnit I was hoping he'd be a cap casualty and be available for someone down the line

TreVeyon Henderson’s troublesome right ankle is an issue again.
The Patriots RB exited against the Raiders and was taken to the locker room after injuring the same ankle that previously sidelined him.
