  DALLAS – If Bad Takes Exposed were a basketball game, the Clippers’ 116-111 series-tying victory over the Dallas Mavericks in Game 4 of their best-of-seven matchup was it.
  “If (the goal) is a championship, I don’t know,” a scout told The Athletic in the aftermath of the Clippers’ November trade for James Harden from the Philadelphia 76ers. “It seems like it adds more of what they have: scoring and ball-handling.”

  LOS ANGELES — If there was ever an emotional or mental hurdle the Lakers needed to overcome against the Denver Nuggets, Saturday night’s 119-108 Game 4 victory at Crypto.com Arena provided that relief.

  TORONTO – The Dodgers are returning to the scene of the crime, where their chances of a deep playoff run were stolen by the Arizona Diamondbacks last October.

• The Republican Party needs to save itself from the populist Trump cult

  The Republican Party appears to be shifting toward autocracy. We should safeguard our government by preventing the party from being manipulated by elite groups or cults. Such influences erode the principles upon which the party was built, particularly inclusiveness and openness. Derailing from the rules of the game can herald ominous consequences domestically and internationally.

  What do they have to hide? On Thursday, the California Assembly’s Elections Committee killed legislation that would ban the use of non-disclosure agreements in legislative negotiations.
  Assembly Bill 2654, introduced by Asm. Vince Fong, R-Bakersfield, is hardly a controversial piece of legislation.

  28-04-2024 16:29 via ocregister.com
  
  In the popular mind, nearly every American city owes its prominence to one private industry or another: steel barons built Pittsburgh, modern finance defined New York City, San Francisco and Austin have ridden high on technology. The one big city without a defining private industry, of course, is Washington, D.C., home of America’s federal government. That’s why it’s so odd that many on the right are now championing “industrial policy” efforts that would try to tran
