How the Spurs have transformed their biggest weakness into a strength Don't look now, but the Spurs have been the NBA's top 3-point shooting team since the All-Star break, and they host another hot-shooting team, the Charlotte Hornets, at the Frost Bank Center...

Since the All-Star break, no team in the NBA has shot the ball better from 3-point range than the Spurs.

It is appears the team has turned its biggest weakness into a strength.

Is the improvement real, or product of a small sample size?

Majority of Americans Continue to Say Abortion Should Be Legal in All or Most Cases | Pew Research Center A 60% majority of U.S. adults say abortion should be legal in all or most cases. This share is down slightly from the last few years.

Nearly four years after the Supreme Court overturned Roe v. Wade, 60% of Americans continue to say abortion should be legal in all or most cases - down slightly from a few years ago. With a patchwork of differing state laws now in effect, perceptions of abortion access vary by where people live.

I put a relative in the ground today. All I could think about while looking at the casket was all the people crying and in pain.
Then I see the US President post how "honored" he is to be killing Iranians. Iranian children.
I have lost a child so I understand that pain.
Hell is too good for them.

Men Do Not Vote Like They Care About the Legality of Abortion Dr. Michal Raucher is a 2025-2026 PRRI Public Fellow focusing on reproductive health and rights. She is also an Associate Professor of Jewish Studies at Rutgers University. In January 2026…

Nearly half of women who said abortion should be legal also said they would only vote for a candidate who shared their views (43%), compared with just 32% of men. That's a significant gender gap.

Search-and-rescue crews were β€œflying blind” trying to rescue survivors from deadly tornadoes that hit the Midwest last week.

Why? Because Kristi Noem hadn't approved FEMA’s $200,000 contract with a tornado-tracking tool.

But she had time to spend $220 million on anti-immigrant ads. Priorities.

Maasdam: What we’re doing overseas β€” spending billions of dollars a day. In two weeks, we probably spent $25 billion. We had an Ayatollah Khomeini to start, and now we have a new Ayatollah Khomeini. And how is this making things in my district more affordable for people? It’s not

Nearly $1.3 billion in local, state or federal government grants were awarded to 1,259 crisis pregnancy centers in total between 2019 and 2024 (in the US). These centers are doing real harm to pregnant people, as this report documents.

McGovern: How the hell is this America first? You guys broke your top campaign promise. Good luck with that. I hope the defense contractor money was worth it. Shame on you all. The mask is off. You're all just a bunch of pathetic Neocon Warmongers.

Senate Republicans just voted to block our War Powers Resolution & allow Trump's regime-change war of choice in Iran. Once again, they're contracting out their constitutional duties to Donald Trump, despite the will of their constituents.

Shameful.

We can’t clean up Washington without restoring integrity to the Supreme Court.

That’s why I believe we should expand the Supreme Court to 13 justices. And then, institute term limits.

Because an appointment to the Supreme Court shouldn’t mean a lifetime lack of accountability.

I'm not okay with the not-very-subtle racism of calling a white male a "choir boy" and a black woman a "street fighter".

Do better.

BOTH Democratic U.S. Senate candidates should be furious about how this is being handled in Texas.

It benefits one candidate today. But the same chaos that helped them in the primary can absolutely burn them the general.

TED makes multi-million-dollar investment to boost safe abortion in 10 countries This is the first time TED’s Audacious Project has invested in an organization specifically focused on abortion access and care.

The global reproductive rights organization Ipas will be receiving "multi millions" from TED's Audacious Project. This is the first time the project has funded an organization that works specifically in abortion access and care since the initiative was developed in 2018.

DOJ's recent 6th Circuit filing misspelled:

Voters as β€œVotors”
Emergency as "Emeregency"
United States as "United Staes"

And, it included a non-party in the caption.

These are the people who want access to your sensitive voting records and who my team fights in court every day.
