Harlem Globetrotters legend Hubert "Geese" Ausbie has died at age 88, the team announced.
One of the most influential players in franchise history, Ausbie spent more than two decades with the team and was honored with a Globetrotters Legends ring.

All Hakeem had to say was: “Accountability and affordability are the focus. We can, and must, walk and chew gum at the same time.”
Instead, the FIRST thing he said wrongly conflated “getting even” with accountability. That was a signal.
Then he talked about “bipartisanship” as DJT appoints a Nazi as Chief of Staff. Meanwhile, he doesn’t want to abolish ICE and doesn’t support Medicare for All.
Yet some of y’all want to lecture us about “how politics works.” But let Stacey tell all you “parliamentarian experts” about politics as usual.

Hakeem Jeffries’ district had the largest Black population decline in NYC as his campaign took in millions from developers. For decades, his district was ground zero for deed theft, and he conveniently ignored it until activists forced him to address it!

It’s not a question of "getting even."
It’s not even a question.
It’s a duty.
It’s the power and duty of Congress to provide oversight. To ensure that the executive branch is being in accordance with the Constitution and the laws that Congress has enacted on the people’s behalf. And to ensure that tax dollars are being spent in the interests of the people, and not the public servants who control the accounts.
This power and duty was exercised by Congress from the earliest moments of the Washington Administration. It has been forsaken by corrupt and craven Congresses of recent years.
It is the new Congress's solemn obligation to resume performance of its duty to oversee the executive branch, and any leader who can’t commit to that obligation should stand aside.

If Alito or Thomas were to retire tomorrow (God forbid), Schumer better say, “We’re in a Presidential election cycle.”

If you watch only one video today, you should watch this edit with @SymoneDSanders from last night, speaking on the 92%.
And when I tell you I’ve watched it three or four times and get choked up every time— this one hits hard.

Congratulations to Governor-elect @KeishaforGA on making history tonight. Georgians spoke clearly for a brighter direction for our state. Thank you to every organizer and volunteer who made sure those voices were heard. Let’s get to work.

Democrat Deb Haaland has won the New Mexico Governor's race.
She will make history as the nation's first Native American governor.
Readers added context they thought people might want to know
Haaland, a member of the Laguna Pueblo, will be the first female Native American governor of any U.S. state, not the first overall. Johnston Murray was the first Native American to be elected governor in the U.S.

REMEMBER MAINE...
Susan Collins was the deciding vote to confirm Brett Kavanaugh. She's the reason Roe v Wade was overturned, and why women are now treated as second class citizens.
Make her pay tomorrow at the polls.

If you want to hear a real spooky story, there’s NO VOTING allowed in Ohio today! 🎃 🗳️ You can thank HB 458 in 2023 for removing another day of access to the polls.

Marty has run the New York City Marathon every year since 1980 and finished his 43rd tonight as the last man across the line. He said it would be his final one his mind is still willing, but his body isn’t.
A remarkable way to end the streak. Congratulations on 43 NYC Marathons, Marty. ❤️
Readers added context they thought people might want to know
The runner’s name is James Thomas, not Marty. The person who filmed and spoke with him (@MickmickNYC) confirmed this. He is not the 90-year-old Marty Granoff (who ran his 6th NYC Marathon in 2026, last previously in 1983).
