It’s my birthday.
Basketball has given me so much—friends, purpose, adventure, and a whole lot of joy.
Now I want us to pay it forward.
Instead of buying me a birthday beer, buy a Guatemalan kid a basketball.

Are you nativist nationalists really trying to get me to root for France?
Seriously—23 of France’s 26 players were born in France. Educated in France. Raised in France. Developed through French youth football.

Hey, Jennifer - before you vote for DC Council at-large, we think you need to know about one of the candidates: Oye Owolewa.
Oye has said he wants
"liberation from capitalism" even saying "that's the goal."
Oye also wants "mass buy-in for socialism" and supports defunding the police.

The District has a lot of challenges. We can't afford to elect Oye Owolewa.

BREAKING: We are filing an unprecedented civil RICO lawsuit to dismantle a fraudulent slumlord empire in DC.
The Razjooyans spun a web of brazen fraud and severe housing neglect that exploits tenants, lenders, and the District — and worsens DC's housing crisis.
We will shut it down.
