In 1971, the Springfield courthouse cost $17 million to build. In today’s money, that’s about $141 million.
The proposed cost for the Springfield courthouse today? $2 BILLION. That’s the same price tag as the Las Vegas Sphere.
What’s wrong with this picture?

BREAKING: NYT reports that operatives with Democratic Alaska U.S. Senate candidate Mary Peltola’s campaign were behind the effort to find & recruit a candidate named Dan Sullivan to run against incumbent GOP Senator Dan S. Sullivan in an effort to confuse voters and peel votes from him.
Specifically, NYT says they have reviewed text messages and documents that reveal in summer 2025, a Peltola staffer received instructions from campaign staffers to find as many people named Dan Sullivan in Alaska as possible.
The staffer complied, going through voter records, and compiled a list. The operation “involved secret trips to far-flung Alaskan communities and the appearance of a mysterious Midwestern operative, who traversed the state using a fake name and made his pitch to would-be candidates over beers at brew pubs.”
Per NYT:
“The plan worked. This spring, a retired teacher from a tiny fishing village along the Alaska Panhandle, reachable only by air and sea, announced his candidacy for Senate. His name was Dan J. Sullivan.”

I love the NBA. But the traveling is so out of control. How do you go from half court to the rim without a dribble?

California hasn't built its bullet train because the state has required 130,000 pages of environmental reports, making absurd demands like:
• counting bumblebees one by one
• rebuilding woodrat stick huts
• hiring specialized dogs to sniff lizard scat

If they can’t get enough money for an expansion team in Seattle, what makes them think they can get more in Mexico City? Sponsorships, Peso risk, security concerns don’t really make it a viable market. Not to mention elevation and travel and traffic, as well as no arena upside.
Adam Silver "left owners with the impression" that a Seattle expansion team isn't a lock following a September board of governors meeting.
Silver reintroduced Mexico City as a "possible destination" during the meeting.
