The Golden State Warriors introduced this week that they may retire Klay Thompson’s No. 11 each time his profession is over. Thompson’s Warriors tenure got here to an finish when the group agreed to sign-and-trade him to the Dallas Mavericks as a part of a three-team commerce. 

The Warriors’ full assertion:

We will not overstate Klay Thompson’s unimaginable and legendary contributions with the Warriors throughout his 13 years with the group, highlighted by 4 NBA championships, six journeys to the NBA Finals, 5 NBA All-Star Sport appearances and several other NBA information, together with probably the most factors ever scored in 1 / 4 in NBA historical past (37) and probably the most 3-point subject targets in a sport (14). The quantity of pleasure and happiness that Klay offered Warriors followers, Bay Space natives and Dub Nation supporters all world wide has been immense and can’t be minimized. His penchant for delivering in pressuriezed conditions on the most important stage, together with many Sport 6 heroics, has helped outline a profession. Klay’s legacy will reside on without end and we sit up for the day we are able to retire his #11 jersey at Chase Heart, the place he’ll be a part of a number of Warriors immortals, together with those that helped form this current dynasty — himself included.

We thank Klay for his contributions and want him the perfect as one other chapter in his journey is written. 

On Tuesday, Thompson’s long-time backcourt associate Steph Curry posted a farewell message on Instagram, saying he “could not have imagined a greater run” with Thompson and teammate Draymond Inexperienced.

“Gonna miss you @KlayThompson. Although we cannot end the journey collectively, what we did won’t ever be accomplished once more. Could not have imagined a greater run with you and @Money23Green. Modified the entire Bay Space. Modified the way in which the sport is performed. Killa Klay on the heart of all of it. Thanks for the whole lot bro. Go get pleasure from enjoying basketball and doing what you do. Splash Bros 4 life my man.”

Thompson, the No. 11 general decide within the 2012 NBA Draft, is without doubt one of the greatest gamers in franchise historical past, however the relationship between himself and the group began to bitter final season. 

The Warriors reportedly supplied him a two-year, $48 million deal final summer time, which was a lot smaller than the contracts they gave Jordan Poole (4 years, $128 million) and Inexperienced (4 years, $100 million) lately. He was additionally briefly benched through the center of the season, which was the primary time he had not began a sport since he was a rookie. 

This offseason, the 2 sides had “near no communication” in response to The Athletic. Whereas the Warriors publicly mentioned the proper issues about bringing him again, Thompson’s facet felt that “the Warriors’ curiosity in a reunion had been disingenuous” and he was “decided to discover a new residence elsewhere.”  

Thompson will now be a part of a Mavericks group coming off a visit to the NBA Finals. Although not the general participant he was, he stays an elite 3-point menace and may thrive off the eye that Luka Doncic instructions. 

SANTIAGO, Chile (AP) — Hannah, a 13-year-old white rhinoceros, has delivered a new child calf in a uncommon zoo start for the just about endangered species.

The arrival of the male calf, named Silverio, two weeks in the past marked the third time {that a} white rhino had ever been born in South America. The Buin Zoo in Chile’s capital of Santiago unveiled Silverio to the general public on Tuesday as he took his first giant-footed steps after 12 days of medical care in confinement.

The zoo hailed his start as a “massive achievement” for conservationists worldwide. Over the previous 12 months, solely eight different southern white rhinos have been born.

The director of Buin Zoo defined {that a} current string of failed rhino romances had dashed the hopes of conservationists making an attempt to breed the species throughout the continent. However Hannah and Oliver — a pair of southern white rhinos shipped to Santiago all the way in which from sub-Saharan Africa simply over a decade in the past — have hit it off, producing three calves on this one zoo.

“There are a number of zoos in Latin America which have a rhino pair and didn’t handle to breed,” mentioned zoo director Ignacio Idalsoaga. “We’re contributing with a ninth calf to a species that has only some left within the wild.”

A staff of veterinarians carefully monitoring Silverio declared him wholesome on Tuesday.

The success story comes as fewer and fewer white rhinos roam the African plains. Northern white rhinos have successfully gone extinct, though the worldwide scientific group has began to revive the species by assisted copy and stem cell analysis.

Southern white rhinos, the northern’s shut cousin and a extra widespread species, have been categorised as “almost endangered” by the Worldwide Union for Conservation of Nature, the world’s important scientific authority on the standing of species. There are simply over 10,000 particular person southern white rhinos left on the planet, the overwhelming majority of them in zoos.

That’s nonetheless a significant enchancment from the flip of the nineteenth century, when the species was hunted to close oblivion. Intensive conservation efforts in the previous few many years pulled southern white rhinos away from the brink of extinction, a uncommon instance of strong reocovery within the face of peril.

However that might change, conservationists say, as hunters proceed to kill rhinos for his or her horns and the mammals can wrestle to breed in captivity, with a gestation interval of 18 months and infrequently a couple of male wanted to stimulate copy.

People are the one predators to rhinos, reviews the worldwide conservation union, with hunters killing an estimated 1,000 rhinos a 12 months. It says that roughly 17 rhinos are born annually.

In a surprising and lawless opinion, the Supreme Court docket granted presidents broad protections from legal prosecution for “official acts” they undertake whereas in workplace. This ruling from the Court docket’s conservative supermajority pulls a brand new constitutional rule from skinny air. And it raises daunting, unjustifiable obstacles to criminally prosecuting lawbreaking presidents. Trump is now positioned to resume his push to dismiss the fees in opposition to him and evade accountability for the grave crimes he’s accused of committing in opposition to our democracy. The Court docket has left the rule of legislation in tatters — even because it seems to be the opposite approach.

The Court docket’s 6–3 opinion — authored by Chief Justice John Roberts and joined by Justices Clarence Thomas, Samuel Alito, Neil Gorsuch, Brett Kavanaugh, and Amy Coney Barrett — makes an attempt to set out guidelines to manipulate prosecutions of any and all future occupants of the Oval Workplace. Presidents, the Court docket guidelines, “is probably not prosecuted for exercising [their] core constitutional powers, and [are] entitled to no less than presumptive immunity from prosecution for [their] official acts.” The Court docket notes that presidents “take pleasure in[] no immunity for [their] unofficial acts, and never all the things the President does is official.” However the latter assertion rings hole within the context of the opinion that surrounds it. The Court docket has created an elaborate system of ambiguous guidelines that won’t solely ratchet up the complexity of the case in opposition to Trump but additionally erode the checks on presidential illegality. It’s each a roadblock to prosecution and an encouragement to extra revolt.

Trump v. United States entails Trump’s prosecution in Washington, DC, for federal crimes stemming from his alleged plot to overturn the outcomes of the 2020 election, a driving drive behind the January 6 assault on the Capitol. Particular Counsel Jack Smith charged that, as a part of this conspiracy, Trump and his allies promoted false claims of election fraud, pushed state officers to disregard the outcomes of the favored vote, organized slates of false Trump electors, pressured the Justice Division to conduct sham election-crime investigations, and tried to get Vice President Mike Pence to interchange genuine electors with phony ones.

Trump tried to have the case tossed — or, on the very least, stalled till after the 2024 election — by arguing that presidents are completely immune from legal prosecution for his or her official acts. After his arguments failed within the trial courtroom and the appellate courtroom, he introduced it to the Supreme Court docket, which rewarded his clear delay techniques and scorched-earth lawyering with an opinion that’s surprising in each its substance and its impact.

The Court docket has held for the primary time that presidents stand above the legal legislation, a radical rejection of a bedrock a part of the American authorized and political custom. The concept that lawbreaking presidents might be prosecuted was frequent sense to the Structure’s framers, vital to the ratification of the Structure within the late 18th century, and a background precept in opposition to which all presidents have executed their jobs within the centuries since then. (Fifteen main historians represented by the Brennan Middle and our co-counsel on the legislation agency Friedman Kaplan made exactly this case in a friend-of-the-court temporary this spring.) The Court docket has discarded all of this, fashioning a brand new constitutional rule from nothing.

The procedures the Court docket has crafted to go along with it are pitched in Trump’s favor. At any time when the case returns to Choose Tanya Chutkan’s trial courtroom, Trump will likely be presumed immune by default; the burden will likely be on the prosecution to ascertain that he isn’t. The Court docket’s definition of “official acts” cuts extraordinarily broadly, stretching to “the outer perimeter of [Trump’s] official duty.” (The Court docket refused to say precisely the place that perimeter ends.) The prosecution should present that prosecuting Trump for these official acts “would pose no risks of intrusion on the authority and capabilities” of the presidency (emphasis added). The prosecution received’t be capable of declare an official act was “unofficial” due to the president’s motives for doing it. And Trump can search one other spherical of appellate evaluation if the trial courtroom doesn’t rule him immune. Ought to the federal government clear these hurdles, it received’t be capable of use the “testimony or non-public information of [Trump] or his advisors” about official acts to show his guilt.

The Court docket justifies all this new complexity as needed to guard imaginary future presidents from imaginary future prosecutions. It doesn’t, critically, justify it as a response to the acts of the true and credibly accused former president within the case earlier than it. Simply as members of the Court docket’s conservative supermajority persistently steered the dialog at oral argument away from Trump’s costs, they don’t even attempt to grapple with the larger implications of making use of their new rule to the case in entrance of them or the results if their rule finally lets Trump skate. As a substitute, the Court docket bows out of the case with the tidy however myopic declare that it “can’t afford to fixate completely, and even primarily, on current exigencies,” lest “transient outcomes” threaten “the way forward for our Republic.”

The Court docket doesn’t interact with the ramifications of its opinion, as a result of it might’t — no less than not with out exposing the basic chapter of the entire edifice it has simply constructed. The bulk’s ruling can’t presumably be the rule for any functioning democracy. Trump has been charged with trying to overthrow the election that threw him out of workplace. Any rule that may grant a president immunity for that crime would take away the principal verify on presidential abuses of authority in our democratic system: the vote. And it might encourage different dropping candidates to attempt the identical in future elections. It’s on this sense that the Court docket’s opinion is actually lawless. It doesn’t merely invent constitutional guidelines which might be antithetical to our founding commitments or enduring values. It threatens to free presidents from the constraints of legislation and democracy. And it paves the best way for future presidents to attempt to make good on essentially the most antidemocratic of all propositions: may makes proper.

In reaching to resolve future imagined instances of presidential criminality whereas downplaying the precise criminality earlier than it, the Court docket has imperiled accountability for Trump’s wrongs. It has executed extreme violence to our legislation. And it has left our democracy uncovered.

Trump v. United States isn’t a critical opinion for a critical democracy. It’s an epochal dereliction of responsibility.

THE PRESIDENT:  Good night. 

The presidency is probably the most highly effective workplace on this planet.  It’s an workplace that not solely assessments your judgment, maybe much more importantly it’s an workplace that may take a look at your character since you not solely face moments the place you want the braveness to train the total energy of the presidency, you additionally face moments the place you want the knowledge to respect the bounds of the facility of the workplace of the presidency.

This nation was based on the precept that there are not any kings in America.  Every — every of us is equal earlier than the regulation.  Nobody — nobody is above the regulation, not even the president of the USA. 

With in the present day’s Supreme Court docket determination on presidential immunity, that basically modified.  For all — for all sensible functions, in the present day’s determination nearly definitely signifies that there are just about no limits on what a president can do. 

It is a basically new precept, and it’s a harmful precedent as a result of the facility of the workplace will not be constrained by the regulation, even together with the Supreme Court docket of the USA.  The one limits will likely be self-imposed by the president alone.

This determination in the present day has continued the Court docket’s assault in recent times on a variety of long-established authorized rules in our nation, from gutting voting rights and civil rights to taking away a girl’s proper to decide on to in the present day’s determination that undermines the rule of regulation of this nation.

Almost 4 years in the past, my predecessor despatched a violent mob to the U.S. Capitol to cease the peaceable switch of energy.  All of us noticed it with our personal eyes.  We sat there and watched it occur that day.  Assault on the police.  The ransacking of the Capitol.  A mob actually searching down the Home Speaker, Nancy Pelosi.  Gallows erected to hold the vice chairman, Mike Pence.  I believe it’s honest to say it was one of many darkest days within the historical past of America.

Now the person who despatched that mob to the U.S. Capitol is dealing with potential prison conviction for what occurred that day.  And the American folks need to have a solution within the courts earlier than the upcoming election.  The general public has a proper to know the reply about what occurred on January sixth earlier than they ask to vote once more this yr.

Now, due to in the present day’s determination, that’s extremely, extremely unlikely.  It’s a horrible disservice to the folks of this nation.

So, now — now the American folks must do what the Court docket ought to have been prepared to do however wouldn’t.  The America folks must render a judgment about Donald Trump’s conduct.  The American folks should determine whether or not Donald Trump’s assault on our democracy on January sixth makes him unfit for public workplace within the highest workplace within the land.  The American folks should determine if Trump’s embrace of violence to protect his energy is suitable. 

Maybe most significantly, the American folks should determine in the event that they need to entrust the president — as soon as once more, the presidency to Donald Trump, now understanding he’ll be much more emboldened to do no matter he pleases at any time when he desires to do it.

You understand, on the outset of our nation, it was the character of George Washington, our first president, that outlined the presidency.  He believed energy was restricted, not absolute, and that energy would all the time reside with the folks — all the time.

Now, over 200 years later, with in the present day’s Supreme Court docket determination, as soon as once more it should rely on the character of the women and men who maintain that presidency which are going to outline the bounds of the facility of the presidency, as a result of the regulation will not do it.

I do know I’ll respect the bounds of the presidential energy, as I’ve for 3 and a half years.  However any president, together with Donald Trump, will now be free to disregard the regulation. 

I concur with Justice Sotomayor’s dissent in the present day.  She — right here’s what she stated.  She stated, “In each use of official energy, the president is now a king above the regulation.  With concern for our democracy, I dissent,” finish of quote.

So ought to the American folks dissent.  I dissent. 

Might God bless you all.  And will God assist protect our democracy.  Thanks.  And will God shield our troops.

WASHINGTON (AP) — U.S. officers have authorized one other Alzheimer’s drug that may modestly gradual the illness, offering a brand new possibility for sufferers within the early phases of the incurable, memory-destroying ailment.

The Meals and Drug Administration authorized Eli Lilly’s Kisunla on Tuesday for gentle or early instances of dementia brought on by Alzheimer’s. It’s solely the second drug that’s been convincingly proven to delay cognitive decline in sufferers, following final 12 months’s approval of a comparable drug from Japanese drugmaker Eisai.

The delay seen with each medication quantities to a matter of months — about seven months, within the case of Lilly’s drug. Sufferers and their households must weigh that profit in opposition to the downsides, together with common IV infusions and doubtlessly harmful unintended effects like mind swelling.

Physicians who deal with Alzheimer’s say the approval is a crucial step after a long time of failed experimental remedies.

“I’m thrilled to have totally different choices to assist my sufferers,” stated Dr. Suzanne Schindler, a neurologist at Washington College in St. Louis. “It’s been tough as a dementia specialist — I diagnose my sufferers with Alzheimer’s after which yearly I see them worsen and so they progress till they die.”

Each Kisunla and the Japanese drug, Leqembi, are laboratory-made antibodies, administered by IV, that focus on one contributor to Alzheimer’s — sticky amyloid plaque buildup within the mind. Questions stay about which sufferers ought to get the medication and the way lengthy they could profit.

The brand new drug’s approval was anticipated after an outdoor panel of FDA advisors unanimously voted in favor of its advantages at a public assembly final month. That endorsement got here regardless of a number of questions from FDA reviewers about how Lilly studied the drug, together with permitting sufferers to discontinue therapy after their plaque reached very low ranges.

Prices will fluctuate by affected person, primarily based on how lengthy they take the drug, Lilly stated. The corporate additionally stated a 12 months’s value of remedy would price $32,000 — greater than the $26,500 value of a 12 months’s value of Leqembi.

The FDA’s prescribing data tells docs they will take into account stopping the drug after confirming through mind scans that sufferers have minimal plaque.

Greater than 6 million People have Alzheimer’s. Solely these with early or gentle illness will probably be eligible for the brand new drug, and an excellent smaller subset are more likely to endure the multi-step course of wanted to get a prescription.

The FDA authorized Kisunla, identified chemically as donanemab, primarily based on outcomes from an 18-month examine wherein sufferers given getting the therapy declined about 22% extra slowly when it comes to reminiscence and cognitive capability than those that acquired a dummy infusion.

The primary security problem was mind swelling and bleeding, an issue widespread to all plaque-targeting medication. The charges reported in Lilly’s examine — together with 20% of sufferers with microbleeds — had been barely greater than these reported with competitor Leqembi. Nevertheless, the 2 medication had been examined in barely several types of sufferers, which consultants say makes it tough to match the medication’ security.

Kisunla is infused as soon as a month in comparison with Leqembi’s twice-a-month routine, which may make issues simpler for caregivers who carry their family members to a hospital or clinic for therapy.

“Actually getting an infusion as soon as a month is extra interesting than getting it each two weeks,” Schindler stated.

Lilly’s drug has one other potential benefit: Sufferers can cease taking it in the event that they reply nicely.

Within the firm’s examine, sufferers had been taken off Kisunla as soon as their mind plaque reached almost undetectable ranges. Nearly half of sufferers reached that time inside a 12 months. Discontinuing the drug may cut back the prices and security dangers of long-term use. It’s not but clear how quickly sufferers may must resume infusions.

Logistical hurdles, spotty insurance coverage protection and monetary considerations have all slowed the rollout of competitor Leqembi, which Eisai co-markets with U.S. accomplice Biogen. Many smaller hospitals and well being methods aren’t but setup to prescribe the brand new plaque-targeting Alzheimer’s medication.

First, docs want to substantiate that sufferers with dementia have the mind plaque focused by the brand new medication. Then they should discover a drug infusion heart the place sufferers can obtain remedy. In the meantime, nurses and different workers should be skilled to carry out repeated scans to examine for mind swelling or bleeding.

“These are all issues a doctor has to have arrange,” stated Dr. Mark Mintun, who heads Lilly’s neuroscience division. “Till they get used to them, a affected person who comes into their workplace won’t be provided this remedy.”
