Klay Thompson on what it was like guarding Steph Curry: “It was fun. It was really fun. Steph’s super crafty still to this day, and felt good to block his shot. He made a great up and under on me. He had an incredible night, and you know what Steph’s doing. I mean, I might not have appreciated it as much as his teammate, ‘cause I got to see it every night, so it became normal. But to see it as an opponent, it’s incredible. Especially that he’s nearing 40 and he moves like a young man, like a young athlete. It’s just all the respect in the world for him. He deserves all the accolades, the adulation, the money, and he’s just one of one, and the game’s going to miss him when he does hang it up.”

Whatley's campaign and NC Senate GOP leaders decided in August 2025 that crime was going to be the focus of both the primary election in NC, and the entirety of Whatley's campaign. Over the last decade, we have shown and confirmed through multiple rounds of polling, etc - that voters across the aisle, but GOP voters in particular, prefer a solutions driven message on crime. They see generic "tough on crime" rhetoric as something from their grandparent's time. Voters in NC have known Roy Cooper for decades. No one believed he made NC "a blood soaked killing field." Focusing on Cooper and crime prevented House Republicans from pointing to policies that North Carolina voters cared about. That may never have been enough to change the tides in '26, but as we've said since August - focusing on crime for the next year is going to do real harm to NC, but it's not going to win.

Looking like Dems will take control of the Georgia PSC.

Larry Kudlow is correct. We were too successful the first year of the Trump administration.

Since Alina Habba burst into the Oval Office accusing Ric Grenell of stealing funds her husband had allocated for a donation to the Kennedy Center, here’s what we’ve learned. — That the funds weren’t from her husband but from the government of the Democratic Republic of the Congo, and they were sent to Texas Armament & Technology, a Houston defense company, not the Kennedy Center. — That Habba had signed a contract worth more than $50 million — $10 million a year plus bonuses over four years — with Concord Partners, a newly formed company set up by the daughter of Venezuelan banker Julio Herrera Velutini. She signed it while serving as acting U.S. attorney in New Jersey, days after the company was registered. Herrera had been facing a U.S. felony bribery case, struck a plea deal in August 2025, and later received a pardon from President Trump. — That Habba’s husband, Turhan Mildon, has a history of claiming close ties to world leaders that people around those governments say he has exaggerated. He has also likely lied about his age: he has said he is 29, while his passport, U.S. visa, and classmates put him at 25. Other claims about his background and marriages are also disputed. Habba was also on the receiving end of a harsh attack by President Trump yesterday, in which he called her deal unacceptable and said he wants the family paying her to stop. One has to wonder if any of this would have been revealed had she not done what she did. Talk about an unforced error.

"The Court’s sentence must deter Mr. Bolton and, perhaps even more importantly, send a general deterrence message to the millions of U.S. security clearance holders that courts will not tolerate the willful mishandling of national defense information."
