The Spurs were frauds, which means the Thunder were frauds and the Timberwolves were frauds. The Cavs were frauds, which means the Pistons were frauds. The Sixers were frauds, which means the Celtics were frauds. There’s only one non-fraudulent team in the NBA: THE KNICKS

So the real NBA finals was the Knicks series against the Hawks, just as everyone said.

Incredible @BaltimoreBanner story about a 9-year-old boy, Tristan King, who has been living out on his own, eluding authorities, since September, through the harsh winter. The government even sent armed US marshals looking for him.

As awful as the regime is, this is not, in fact, the worst-case scenario. politico.com/news/magazine/2…
Trump: "I guess the worst case is we do this and then somebody takes over who is as bad as the previous person. That could happen."

Donald Trump wants Iranians to topple the regime. He thinks his bombing campaign will inspire them to do so—and help them succeed. For @politico, I wrote about whether Iranians will do what he says, and whether revolution is, in fact, now easier: politico.com/news/magazine/2…

Trump called on Iranians to rise up and "take over your government." History suggests that's much harder than it sounds. politi.co/4aTMXJT

If Iranians respond to America’s attacks by rising up and overthrowing the Islamic Republic, it will be the first time in history that a U.S. bombing campaign incited a revolution. Me in @POLITICOMag: politico.com/news/magazine/2…

We love to reinvent a dc bar
Idea: a bar called The Situation Room. Like a sports bar but for politics. Cable news and live feeds on the screens instead of football. Atlases and copies of Jane’s Defence Weekly on every table. Multiple sets of Risk and Diplomacy behind the bar.
