Fun account. UCLA, WNBA, NCAAWB, and Angels if I'm feeling masochistic.

“They’re taking our jobs” was always a lie. Alabama proved it.
Alabama tried a “tough” immigration law, and it backfired hard. Immigrants fled, crops rotted, and farms collapsed. Americans tried to step in but couldn’t last a day.
They’re not taking your jobs; they’re doing the jobs you won’t do.

No more “alternative facts” and no more playing by republican rules.
There is neither benefit in the preservation of corrupt institutions nor utility in entertaining bold-faced lies.

Pritzker: To the members of the press who are assembled here today and listening across the country, I am asking for your courage to tell it like it is. This is not a time to pretend here that there are two sides to this story.

It seems clear the WNBA/NBA has 2 very distinct stories they tell about WNBA profitability.
For the investors, the WNBA is amazing.
For the players, the WNBA is impoverished.
To solve this mystery, I argue we need to think about Scooby-Doo!

A government ban on Hungary’s Pride parade backfired Saturday as over 100,000 people marched through Budapest, far more than usual
PM Viktor Orban warned people to stay away, threatening “clear legal consequences.” But the warnings only turned a modest event into a mass rally against his government

The world is a horrible place, but we still have the WNBA.
Just did the maths: 30-135 (22%) in the 2 1/2 seasons before that Olympic break; 45-76 (59%) in the two half-seasons since.

Kaitlyn Chen. I am rooting for her hard. I think she played well, but conservatively. She looked like she was playing to not mess up rather than attack off screens & off the dibble.
I'm hoping it was just jitters. But I also know the chances this time around are probably quite limited... Thoughts?

When I was a Hill staffer in 2009, a Dem trifecta was trying to pass universal healthcare. In response, Senate GOP released a memo detailing all of the tactics they in the minority could use to delay the effort as much as possible. I'm recirculating that 2009 GOP memo here. Take inspiration from it.
