Magic lose in Denver, 126-115 (Jokic triple-double)

That means the Celtics hit the 1/3rd mark of the season Friday night 4th in the East.

(Knicks now just 1½ back of Detroit for the East lead after the Pistons lose in OT in Dallas (23-10 for Cooper Flagg - 3rd 18yr old with 500 career points)

Hmmm.
Horace could fly (his 11-TD season was my first as a fan). Knee injury shortened his career.

When we start calling TreVeyon “Hendu,” that’s when he’s in the club for good.

So far, the tariff rates the President is sending to countries today either closely match or are slightly lower than what he threatened on April 2.

So both in terms of tariff rates and deadlines, this is a slightly softer stance overall. Nothing takes effect until Aug. 1.

This is a big deal. Spread the word. But it’s tiny compared to the totality of what’s happening at NIH. Cure Research for all cancers, Alzheimer’s, everything is being gutted. Intentionally. It’s all getting burned to the ground but the news isn’t getting out. The new cures won’t be there for you.

STUNNING: Sen. Cruz said that the faulty TCAS warnings received at DCA in March were due to "the Secret Service and the US Navy improperly testing counter drone technology," on "the same spectrum band as TCAS" at that time.

Scooplet: The NWS office in Boston is now down to just seven meteorologists, four fewer than are needed to run it around the clock with even minimal staffing.

These seven meteorologists will now need to perform the duties of multiple staff members at once.

I don't know if the LA fire department is properly funded or not but the claim that the city cut its budget last year — which is circulating widely on the right — is false.

As Politico notes, the budget actually INCREASED by $50 million. A portion of the funding was approved in a separate bill.

Is Alzheimer’s disease (AD) a US “epidemic”?
NO.

Fact check:

AD rates:
Finland: 54.65 cases per 100,000
UK: 42.70
Slovakia: 38.15
Iceland: 35.59
Netherlands: 33.78

US comes in at 33.26 cases per 100,000.

AD isn’t higher in US AND incidence has declined in the last 30 years.
