I have a big ask. My 9yo son is autistic and he’s been raising a betta fish he named Kevin. Yesterday He asked if he could “share a photo of Kevin with the whole world“. I don’t know if this will work, but a dad’s gotta try. Like and share if that’s your thing. Kevin says hi! 🐟👋

Chris Murphy: "Why did Elon Musk not oppose the defense bill, which is loaded with lots of spending, but oppose the continuing resolution? Maybe because his bread is buttered in the defense bill. That's where there are programs that help his businesses and pad his profits."

So let me get this straight. The #nba holds a “tournament” no one cares about on courts that make the game nearly unwatchable only to then stack games against #ThursdayNightFootball and have next to no games on a Friday night?
And they wonder why viewership is down??

Evan Mobley went off on the Hornets. The Cavs fed him early and often and Mobley score in all kinds of ways.
He opened the scoring by using his size for an easy bucket over Cody Martin. Second clip is a no-hesitation above-the-break three. Last one is a pullup three from up top. Big-time confidence!
