The Knicks won the NBA Finals for the first time since 1973 while I’m in New York City!! 😭🏀🗽

HOUSTON — Elephant joins Texas GOP convention, and pees right between the press area and delegates, after Gov. Greg Abbott’s speech.

I’m in New York — that was the best basketball game I’ve ever watched in my entire life 👏👏👏 And I’m from Cleveland (who lost NBA Finals to the Spurs in 2007) so that speaks volumes 😭 And I’m here with a b-ball player from Harlem that I met in a pharaoh’s tomb in Egypt lmao

Made it from CMA Fest in Nashville to NYC! ✈️ And I’m humbled that New York closed so many streets around Madison Square Garden for my visit during the NBA Finals 🙏🙂‍↕️ I told Otha that Cleveland still hasn’t forgiven the Spurs for 2007 … Go, Knicks! 🏀🗽

The thought of a 79 y/o freshman senator starting a 6 year term is untolerable for many people after the 2024 race I’m in Texas, and we just had this in the redrawn TX-18 — with Al Green losing to a rep. who’s 38 rather than 78 I believe all candidates over 75 are losing favor

Notable thing about Paxton, as his campaign pummels Talarico w his woke clips: He doesn’t debate. Hasn’t faced an opponent onstage since 2014, when he was the non-incumbent conservative choice for the AG primary. Didn’t debate his 2018 Dem opponent who nearly beat him. Ignored George P. Bush who challenged him to five 2022 debates. Never debated Cornyn.

NEW: Sharyn Alfonsi goes scorched earth on Bari Weiss: "Over the weekend, my contract with CBS News expired, drawing to a close nearly twenty years with the network, including more than a decade at 60 Minutes. Following an intense editorial dispute over our CECOT story, repeated attempts by my representation to establish a path forward were met with absolute silence from network executives. The message could not be clearer: my time at 60 Minutes is apparently over. In the coming days, network leadership may attempt to hide behind corporate euphemisms like "modernization" and “restructuring” to explain away my departure. Don't be misled. This was not a routine corporate transition; it was a deliberate choice to penalize a journalist for refusing to sanitize factually accurate reporting, and it sends a chilling message to the entire newsroom. Fearless, independent reporting has always been the defining standard at 60 Minutes. Today, CBS management is abandoning that mission, choosing access journalism over accountability and protecting power rather than scrutinizing it. The wall between editorial independence and corporate interest at CBS is being methodically torn down. Journalists willing to challenge authority are being pushed aside in favor of those who will not. If this continues, the result will be a broadcast that looks like 60 Minutes but lacks the courage and character to produce journalism that matters. To my colleagues, who became family - working beside you has been the privilege of a lifetime. You are second to none. I’ve learned exactly what it costs to hold the line right now. Hold it anyway. Viewers and the people who trust us with their stories deserve nothing less."

Please stop. I don’t want an AI summary of my Google search. I don’t want an AI summary of the text message from my friend at work. I don’t want an AI summary of the email I’m about to read. Please just stop.
