After watching a season with Damian Lillard and a half season with Doc Rivers at head coach, what were your big takeaways in terms of roster building and what this team needed most this offseason? Jon Horst: We’ve talked about this a little bit in some of the other media sessions that I’ve had, but I agree. And I don’t apologize for it. I think it’s just the nature of our business. We built a team, and then we had an incredible opportunity to acquire an NBA All-75th Anniversary team, top-75 player and pair him with another NBA All-75th Anniversary team, top-75 player late in the offseason and we did it.Source: New York Times

The article, about a new NYT/Siena poll that has Vice President Kamala Harris narrowing the gap on former President Donald Trump, quoted a few registered voters on their electoral choices. Back in 2005, Ayala and her husband pleaded guilty to charges that she planted a severed finger in a serving of Wendy’s chili as part of an extortion scheme. They were sentenced to a few years in prison and banned from Wendy’s restaurants for life. (And for anyone wondering where the finger came from, a family friend lost it in an “industrial accident” and then just… gave it away.) The article stated that Harris was gaining on Trump in groups like young voters and non-white voters while Trump retained at least one faction of the fraudster vote.

LOADING ERROR LOADINGNEW YORK (AP) — Prosecutors are urging a judge to uphold Donald Trump’s historic hush money conviction, arguing in court papers made public Thursday that the verdict should stand despite the Supreme Court’s recent ruling on presidential immunity. Advertisement“There is no basis for disturbing the jury’s verdict,” prosecutors wrote in a 66-page filing. But within hours of the Supreme Court’s ruling, Trump’s lawyers asked for a delay. In its ruling, the Supreme Court did not define what constitutes an official act, leaving that matter to lower courts. Before the Supreme Court ruling, Trump’s lawyers brought up presidential immunity in a failed bid last year to get the hush money case moved from state court to federal court.

Vice President Kamala Harris begins a 103-day sprint for the presidency in a virtual tie with former President Donald J. Trump, according to the latest New York Times/Siena College poll, as her fresh candidacy was quickly reuniting a Democratic Party that had been deeply fractured over President Biden. Just days after the president abandoned his campaign under pressure from party leaders, the poll showed Democrats rallying behind Ms. Harris as the presumptive nominee, with only 14 percent saying they would prefer another option. [The poll is full of findings unlike any we’ve seen this cycle, with the exception of who leads the presidential race, Nate Cohn writes.] Her swift reassembling of the Democratic coalition appeared to help narrow Mr. Trump’s significant advantage over Mr. Biden of only a few weeks ago. Ms. Harris was receiving 93 percent support from Democrats, the same share that Mr. Trump was getting from Republicans.

Officials in Greece say they have formally approved the purchase of 20 F-35 Joint Strike Fighters from the United States as part of a major defense overhaulATHENS, Greece -- Greece formally approved an offer to buy 20 F-35 Joint Strike Fighters from the United States as part of a major defense overhaul, government officials said Thursday. Delivery of the fifth-generation jet made by Lockheed Martin is expected to start in 2028, while Greece maintains the option to purchase 20 additional F-35 jets as part of an $8.6 billion deal. The purchase of the first 20 jets along with additional support will cost some $3.5 billion, Greek officials said. Turkey was dropped from the F-35 program five years ago over its decision to buy Russian-made S-400 surface-to-air missile system, a move seen in the United States as compromising NATO security. Athens has been seeking an advantage in the air since Turkey’s exclusion from F-35 purchases and has also acquired advanced French-made Rafale fighter jets.
