Timberwolves coach Chris Finch on Jaden McDaniels: “He talked all series and he backed it up all series. That’s called legitimate tough. He not only led us tonight scoring wise, but Jamal Murray was 4-for-17. I don’t think he scored on Jaden the whole game. That’s what you want.”

The Epstein files do not “exonerate” Trump. They include four FBI interviews with a survivor who says Epstein trafficked her to Trump when she was 13. Then, NPR found missing DOJ documents tied to the case. That is not exoneration. https://youtu.be/FdEcPzZhop4

Hegseth barking Trump’s ultimatum on the USS Boxer is terrifying. These troops are literally kids who enlisted because Trump promised no new wars.
