I will stake out my bucks position on this new app early.

They should blow it up before this trade deadline.

It will cut years off their rebuild. They can either be OKC (3 year rebuild) or Orlando (10 year rebuild.
Bumping this for no reason.

Doc is good at two things, convincing dumb owners that he is a good coach, and throwing anyone and everyone under the bus when it suits him. If it's him or them he'll always choose himself.
The upshot of Doc’s press conference: He doesn’t have the locker room, and he thinks it’s a player issue, not his.

He praised ATOs/sets, but when asked if he was surprised by the young Wizards, he said, “I wasn’t. But I’m not playing, so I can’t do anything about it.”

Yikes.

Good reporting on the South Shore raid from South Side weekly here.

Confirms one thing I was told but didn't put in my own piece because I didn't have a second source and it seemed too insane: border agents segregated arrested residents by race

Federal Agents Storm South Shore Building, Detaining Families and Children
Families were woken by flashbangs and helicopters as hundreds of federal agents raided their homes. Days later, neighbors are still searching for the missing.

Never before in American history has one state's military force been deployed in another state over its objection.

I say never because the Civil War involved states whose governments legally ceased to exist, their offices vacated by constructive resignation, with no legitimate governors to object.

I see pieces like this a lot, often w/ a spin of lamenting cultural degeneration, but reading is a LABOR issue, it’s declined because so many people are working overtime or two jobs & employers expect after hours work. France has Earth’s highest reading rate b/c long lunch breaks & labor protections

I don't remember seeing any calls for violent retribution after a Minnesota state senator was assassinated, and it would have been nice not to see any today.

There are centuries worth of philosophy about the meaning of empathy and its relationship to judgment. Kant was biiiig into it.

And all we've taken from it is "if you don't feel bad about a dead fascist you're a sociopath".
The fascists are right.

Empathy — and specifically, empathy for Others — is one of the key traits that separates us from them.

Don’t let them take that from you.

While we're all discussing how it's wrong to murder someone, let's not forget this:
Democrats are amplifying pressure on the Trump administration to produce evidence that last week’s military strike in the Caribbean Sea killed 11 drug smugglers, as lawmakers from both parties question the legal basis for the surprise use of force.
Democrats pressure Trump to show proof deadly boat strike was legal
The incident has frustrated lawmakers from both parties who’ve questioned why the administration has not publicly disclosed evidence to back up its claims.

And for now, the Supreme Court has signed off on such dubious practices without an explanation. Every American, including those who want tougher enforcement of our immigration laws, should demand that ICE does its job in a way that protects the rights of all Americans.

Like with the rocket docket for Biden's eviction moratorium and student debt relief, SCOTUS's timing is always political.

I suspect this timing is "see what happens after the Fed cuts rates amid tariff inflation" to see if the billionaire class—ahem, oops—I mean the law authorizes the tariffs.
They could have done something like this in the Trump immunity case and given a chance for the special counsel to take Trump's federal election subversion charges to trial.

Expediting cases is a choice
NEW: the Supreme Court agrees to hear Trump‘s appeal in the tariffs cases on a highly expedited basis. Oral argument will be during the first week of November.
