.@BenStiller's reveal that the @nyknicks lay #CelebrityRow basketball tickets on him, that he doesn't have #Knicks season tickets, makes 1 wonder how many famed fans in #TheGarden's front rows share #BenStiller's status. Per one #NBAfinals media report, #SpikeLee has spent millions on his rarified seats to #NewYorkKnicks games over decades time.

Kenny Smith tries to get Ben Stiller to talk about the rumored Knicks documentary, and Shaq tries to get Kenny to stop asking the question. 🏀📽️🎙️😂

#POTUS #Trump late Wednesday tapped @DAGToddBlanche as the next U.S. #AttorneyGeneral. Many observers called for firing Acting AG #ToddBlanche when Blanche told Congress he supported Trump's settlement with the #IRS to ban any future IRS tax audits of Donald Trump, his family members and their businesses. Acting AG Blanche's designated role @TheJusticeDept to lead the creation of a cash distribution infrastructure for the so-called anti-weaponization fund, the payoff pile, would be another basis for the calls. #SlushFund

U.S. #Treasury @SecScottBessent dodges press questions about the significance of picturing sitting president #DonaldTrump on a $250 bill, Wednesday [video]. Hiding behind a @washingtonpost article he says is "terribly written" and by "hooters," Treasury Secretary #ScottBessent says he "didn't understand" the issue.

#POTUS #Trump says he might go to a @nyknicks game during the #NBAFinals, if someone invites him. #NewYork @GovKathyHochul, for one, says she won't be inviting or going with him. After eschewing #NYC as his legal residence, for Florida, 47 says he'd like to attend a #Knicks game at @TheGarden. Word is #MSG owner and Trump pal #JimDolan might invite Donald Trump to the @NBA #basketball championship series.

.@smerconish, #OpenPrimary #voting is an ideal. But when #voters register in the #Democrat or #Republican parties, chances go up they would even vote at all in a #PrimaryElection and would be more engaged. #VoterTurnout for primaries, overall, is weak. smerconish.com/daily-poll/th…

In effect, #DOJ creating the $1.8 billion slush fund #POTUS #Trump could use to pay off political pals weaponizes the @TheJusticeDept against the American people. Americans deserve better than #taxpayer funded, slushy payoffs to President Trump's allies in the guise of anti-weaponizing attacks on them.

Amid loud hammering at the #TrumpBallroom construction site where he held a presser, Tuesday, 47 insisted #taxpayer money will not be used to build the massive ballroom that would replace the demolished East Room at the White House.
Meanwhile, the @TheJusticeDept created a $1.8 billion fund tantamount to a #SlushFund in settling #POTUS #Trump's $10 billion lawsuit over alleged #IncomeTax "#leaks" at the #IRS. Trump could use the new funds to pay off supporters whom he claims the feds hurt, such as January 6th insurrectionists.
This, despite the conflict of interest. Acting U.S. AG @DAGToddBlanche represented the president in his action against the IRS. #corruption #kickbacks

Since when is the U.S. #JusticeDepartment a #TaxHaven for #POTUS #Trump or any U.S. president? @TheJusticeDept says they are barring the #IRS from ever auditing #DonaldTrump, Don Jr., Eric and any of their businesses. Also barred: The IRS pursuing past claims with the Trumps. nytimes.com/2026/05/19/admin…

What is compelling "supporters" of #LuigiMangione to wear "#FreeLuigi" graphic #Tshirts to public events, like his hearing in #NewYork State Supreme Court Monday? Do people whose Ts say "People Over Profit"/"Free Luigi" think killing @UHC ceo #BrianThompson, which #Mangione is accused of, is ok based on any shortcomings of health insurance? photos.app.goo.gl/3UEEBQyyMS…

Watching @NYCMayor #Mamdani at a #CityHall Blue Room presser, presenting #NYC's FY 2027 #budget Friday, I wondered whether Comptroller @MarkLevineNYC was in the house. #MarkLevine stated Tuesday: "The Executive Budget relies on $2.8 billion in 1-time measures and $2.3 billion in short-term #pension "savings" without [making up for] a City government that continues to spend more than we take in, even in a year of record revenues.
"Between now and June 30th, it is important that we strengthen this budget by reducing reliance on 1-time actions. That is what I’ll be fighting for in the weeks ahead.”

Mangione's Smoking Gun Stays:
Justice Gregory Carro in #NewYork State Supreme Court ruled Monday that the #gun, silencer and manifesto/journal found in #LuigiMangione's backpack are admissible as evidence in the alleged killer #Mangione's state #trial for the Midtown Manhattan murder of #UnitedHealthcare ceo #BrianThompson. A shooter killed Thompson in December 2024 when he was walking to a @UHC annual meeting of shareholders at the @newyorkhiltonm in the West 50s.
