The Pi Brew
We’re back! It’s June. The Sixers are in full command of their series against the Wizards, leading 3-1. Joel Embiid has the City of Philadelphia in the palm of his hands and if you’re not down with that – well, he has two words for you. Unfortunately, Game 4 saw Embiid go down with an injury. Game 5 in Philly will see a full crowd at the Wells Fargo Center. Meanwhile, fans in sports are getting completely out of hand. AEW’s Double or Nothing took place Sunday night and was a good one. So let’s keep it moving and get things started. It’s Brew time.
The legend of Joel Embiid continues to grow

Such a shame

Here’s the truth
The GOP demanded a 50/50-split January 6 Commission. Democrats said yes. The GOP demanded a 7-month limit. Democrats said yes. Now Republicans have killed the Commission.
Congratulations, GOP—you just won a years-long, bipartisan-but-Democratic Party-led House Special Committee.

Tell them, Keith
Can you imagine a scenario where hundreds of Black people violently storm the Capitol and assault police officers in an armed insurrection to stop the functioning of the US government and then ANY Republican in Congress votes against a Commission to investigate what happened? https://t.co/L5XZDJskjP
