For whatever reason(s) (this has the imprint of coaching, but Idk), this game is out of NYCs hands. And they are not getting back. I call 'em as I see 'em, elles and gees, and I call on Mama Cass to sing Taps.

*Update: AP has called KY-4 for Trump-endorsed challenger. Incumbent Massie defeated.
Trump Wins
On May 5, five Indiana Republicans who voted against Trump's gerrymander lost their primaries against Trump-backed opponents. One incumbent who faced a Trump primary survived while a seventh leads by three votes and faces a recount.
On May 16, GOP incumbent U.S. Senator Bill Cassidy, who voted to convict Trump in his second (Jan. 2-related) trial in the Senate, finished third in Louisiana to Trump-backed primary challengers.
Today, GOP Rep. Thomas Massie (Kentucky), who broke with Trump over the Epstein files release, is expected to lose his primary to a Trump-backed challenger.
And in Texas, also today, Trump endorsed state Attorney General Jim Paxton in his primary challenge to Sen. John Cornyn. Trump's blessing should be enough to put Paxton over the top in the May 26 GOP primary.
The East is Dark
Arsenal won the English Premier League today when Manchester City drew 1-1 at Bournemouth.
These are dark days in East Manchester. Manager Pep Guardiola is expected to leave the club after the season, ending an incomparable 10-season run where the club won everything. And looming as it has been for years is the verdict and resulting penalties in the EPL's massive Financial Fair Play case against the club.
City Forever!
Windorst: How do you beat Wemby and the Hotspurs 4 out of 6 times?
ESPN
The Rustless Thunder Bolts sure don't know! Last night made it five out of six L's.
I'll take the bait and answer, though: with SGA shooting only slightly better than he did last night. Come on. 7/24. Last time the back-to-back MVP shot that poorly was in 2023. I stand by what I wrote last night. That was an only-once stinker opportunity for San Antonio. If they hadn't won last night they might have gotten broomed.
