Jalen Brunson made it pretty clear how excited he is to be reunited on the Knicks with his former Villanova teammate Josh Hart. The Knicks point guard can be seen in a video being shown the news of the trade for the Blazers wing on someone’s phone after his Wildcats jersey was retired by the school on Wednesday night.

CNN  —  Sarah Huckabee Sanders may have a point – America’s new political choice really could be between “normal or crazy.” But after a wild week in Washington, it’s fair to ask who is on each side of the line the Arkansas governor drew in her Republican response to President Joe Biden’s State of the Union address.

The unspoken purpose of Biden’s theatrical delivery on Tuesday night, and much of his presidency, is to ask Americans who the real extremists are.

In January, I walked up the front steps of a single-storey, grey-shingled house in a neighbourhood on the fringe of Stanford University. The moment I pressed the video doorbell, I heard Sam Bankman-Fried’s voice calling from inside. “I’ll get it!” His father got to the door first.
