Well, Mark Cuban looks pretty prescient this morning. The Dallas Mavericks owner told Chuck Todd on NBC’s Meet The Press yesterday that he thinks the Oklahoma City Thunder will take the NBA title next month. The Thunder look pretty ascendant today after humiliating my Golden State Warriors last night in Oklahoma City, and now lead that series 2-1. […]

When the 2016 presidential campaign began, everyone believed Hillary Clinton would quickly wrap up the Democratic nomination since she faced what many saw as token opposition. It was the Republicans, who had enough candidates to field a football team, who were expected to have a bitter, protracted primary. As so often has been the case in […]

Bernie Sanders says he backs Democrat Tim Canova in his effort to knock off Democratic National Committee Chairwoman Debbie Wasserman Schultz. Wasserman Schultz is running for re-election in Florida’s 23rd Congressional District. “Well clearly I favor her opponent, his views are much closer to mine than Wasserman Schultz’s is,” the Democratic presidential contender told CNN’s Jake Tapper in […]

The U.S. Senate advanced a $1.1 billion bill to help public officials battle the Zika virus Tuesday as it begins to threaten America. That’s $800 million less than the $1.9 billion that President Obama has been calling for since February, but it is more than the $622 million that the GOP-led House passed on Monday. Much […]

Bernie Sanders has won Oregon’s presidential primary and battled Hillary Clinton to a razor-thin margin in Kentucky, vowing to stay in the race until the end as Clinton aimed to blunt his momentum and prepare for a fall campaign against Republican Donald Trump.

Democratic National Committee Chairwoman Debbie Wasserman Schultz said Tuesday that she was “deeply concerned,” after receiving a complaint from the Nevada Democratic Party regarding the actions of some Bernie Sanders supporters on Saturday at the Nevada Democratic convention. “We are deeply concerned about the troubling details laid out in the letter from the Nevada Democratic Party,” […]
