Halftime: Knicks 72, Sixers 42.
A complete catastrophe of a performance on both ends for the Sixers, who have allowed the Knicks fans here to once again take over the building. Tyrese Maxey has 19 points on 6-13 shooting; I don't even think he's played very well.

The Trump administration is sending all pregnant unaccompanied minors apprehended by immigration enforcement to a single group shelter in South Texas. This is a sharp turn from longstanding federal practice, which placed them in shelters or foster homes equipped to handle high-risk pregnancies.

I have been made aware of reports of an ICE agent firing a gun into a car in Roxbury this week.
Whenever ICE is around, you can expect violence. It's time to ABOLISH ICE.
Until then, NJ must use its full might to pass laws protecting us from ICE.

Ohio Bans Grace Periods for Mail Ballots, Fulfilling Trump’s Wishes - Bolts
Ohio is the fourth GOP-run state this year to ban ballots that are postmarked by Election Day but arrive after. A Supreme Court case could force that policy nationwide next year.

The entire ethos of the Trump administration is that nobody who disagrees with them, nobody who fails to support them, is legitimate or entitled to any rights in any way. It is the ethos of thuggish tyranny.
I can't think of an attorney general ever showing this much open contempt for Congress before.
Not only would most of them think this kind of conduct was beneath them, they'd have known that the Judiciary Committee chair, whatever the party, would never stand for clownish antics like this.
