This is Andrew Davis, who Trump nominated to the U.S. District Court for the Western District of Texas.

The judiciary committee already advanced his nomination to the Senate floor on a party-line vote.

Now he just awaits final confirmation by the full Senate, timing TBD.

Stop watching TMZ, please. FOX uses them as a source for a reason. Harvey Levin was a "friend" of Epstein's, being used to turn horror stories into fairy tales. Yes, he was at the White House. Drop the media child rape apologists like Levin and Weiss. There's a gazillion other places to get news.

A'ja Wilson joined Bam Adebayo's press conference after his 83-point game.

As expected, the two had jokes for each other 😂

Well…. Republicans do make misogyny part of their official platform, so there is a very tangible difference. But. They definitely haven’t got a monopoly on it!

It’s sad (but not surprising, I guess?) that so many of the accounts that infest WNBA CBA discussions with misogynist, anti-worker(!), uninformed hot-takes also describe themselves as leftist or blue crew or anti-Turmp. I’m like: F off, but also: Don’t forget to vote!

We stand with the players | WNBPA

We stand with the players | WNBPA

The @wnba.com has seen historic growth in recent years. NONE of that would have been possible without the skills and talent of WNBPA players.

It’s time for Commissioner Cathy Engelbert and NBA Commissioner Adam Silver to agree to a fair contract. Solidarity with the players!

The Miami Heat crowd pours on the praise!! And A'ja Wilson is there to see it, too! 🥹❤️🥹❤️

The are witnessing something legendary. Since their inaugural season in 1988-89, there has never been more points scored in an individual game!

Post on threads from A’ja:

Welp won’t have the highest career high in the house anymore 😭 but at least it gives me something to go after 🤭

As if WNBA teams needed more reasons to fear A’ja Wilson.

The WNBPA Collection - Officially Licensed Apparel - BreakingT Celebrating basketball's best moments with fire apparel. Officially licensed by the Womens National Basketball Players Association since 2018.

Might I recommend buying WNBA apparel from Breaking T instead of the team store.
