Big Knicks playoff game brings celebrities to Madison Square Garden

** It's day three of the US PGA Championship at Quail Hollow, and the drama is heating up. Scottie Scheffler, a fan favorite, just had a shaky start with a wayward approach shot on the first hole—not the grand opening anyone expected. Meanwhile, you can catch up on yesterday’s fiery moments (like Hatton’s foul-mouthed tirade) or check the live leaderboard to see who’s climbing the ranks.

What This Mean: ** Golf’s a game of highs and lows, and this championship is no exception. Scheffler’s stumble shows even the best have off moments, while the live updates keep fans glued to every swing. Whether you’re here for the competition or the chaos (looking at you, Hatton), there’s plenty to watch.

The Baltimore Orioles have let go of manager Brandon Hyde after a rough start to the season, with the team sitting at 15-28 and in last place. Hyde, who just won Manager of the Year in 2023 and led the O's through a tough rebuild, couldn't turn things around this year despite back-to-back playoff runs.

What This Mean: Baseball is a brutal business—even recent success doesn’t buy much time when a team underperforms. Hyde was a big part of Baltimore’s turnaround, but the front office clearly felt a change was needed to stop the slide. For fans, it’s a tough reminder that patience wears thin fast in pro sports.

** A tragic incident unfolded in Palm Springs, California, where a car explosion claimed at least one life, according to a law enforcement source. Details are still emerging, but the explosion has left the community shaken and authorities scrambling to determine the cause.

What This Mean: ** Car explosions are rare but terrifying events, and this one has already turned deadly. Beyond the immediate tragedy, locals will want answers—was this an accident, a mechanical failure, or something more sinister? For now, it’s a stark reminder of how suddenly everyday situations can turn dangerous.

Former President Donald Trump announced he plans to speak with Vladimir Putin and Volodymyr Zelenskyy on Monday to discuss a potential ceasefire in Ukraine, which he described as a "bloodbath." Meanwhile, in typical Trump fashion, he also took to social media to criticize Walmart for raising prices and recycled old conspiracy theories about Hillary Clinton.

What This Mean: Trump’s planned call with Putin and Zelenskyy is noteworthy because, despite being out of office, he’s still positioning himself as a dealmaker in global conflicts—something that could influence both U.S. foreign policy and his own political future. At the same time, his mix of policy talk and personal grievances keeps his base engaged while reminding critics why he remains a polarizing figure. Whether this call leads to anything concrete or just headlines, it’s another example of Trump staying in the spotlight.

** Former VP Mike Pence is calling out Donald Trump for accepting a luxury jet from Qatar's government, arguing it's a bad look for U.S. security—especially since America has a major military base in Qatar. Pence suggests Trump should refuse the gift to avoid potential conflicts of interest.

What This Mean: ** This isn’t just about a fancy plane—it’s about optics and national security. When a former VP publicly questions a gift from a country hosting U.S. troops, it raises eyebrows. It hints at deeper concerns about influence, ethics, and whether personal perks could muddy foreign policy decisions. For voters, it’s another flashpoint in the ongoing debate over Trump’s ties to foreign governments.
