These refs in 2024 in the NBA will call fouls of dudes flopping and whipping their head back when dudes breath on them, but Ausar Thompson damn near gets both of his ACL’s taken from him and not a damn thing.

I look forward to seeing more Malachi Flynn in the second half.

That might’ve been the best half I’ve ever seen Cade play.

Monty Williams's rotations continue to mystify.
The only thing keeping this game close was Cade. Of course, Cade checks out, Brunson stays in and the result was very predictable:

Apropos of today's MI Supreme Court oral argument in Mothering Justice v Attorney General re "adopt-and-amend." It's hard to believe it's been 5 years since I was working on this matter alongside @sbagen when it was before the Court as a request for an advisory opinion. #MILeg
Interesting find here. Frank Kelly AG opinion from 1964 calls into question adopt-and-amend strategy GOP legislators are considering for minimum wage, paid sick leave ballot initiatives ag.state.mi.us/opinion/dataf…

Two years ago, @POTUS signed the Bipartisan Infrastructure Law, a once-in-a-generation investment in American infrastructure. Since then, the Administration has announced over 40,000 projects and awards across 4,500 communities. This is what Investing in America looks like.

Thrilled to have Patti on board at such a crucial time!
Congrats to @pzettler (and to @sbagen, who's lucky to have her on board at HHS)!

In August I announced Medicare had selected ten drugs for price negotiation. Well, last Friday a court blocked Big Pharma and their allies when they tried to stop us. Now, those manufacturers are coming to the table, where Medicare will work to lower prices for seniors.

It’s simple common sense that Medicare should be able to negotiate lower drug costs. Today’s ruling allows Medicare to move forward with implementing this program, and serves to confirm that nothing in the Constitution prevents Medicare from negotiating for lower drug prices.
