EDonovan Mitchell just put up seventeen in the first quarter against the Sixers, and the NBA's own account got the number wrong.
SThe league's account? What did they say?
EFifteen points. But ESPN's clip shows the buzzer-beater capped a seventeen-point quarter. Small thing, but it's the NBA's official feed.
SSo the league can't count its own star's points. That's... actually very on brand for this season.
EThe Cavs are up, Mitchell's cooking, and the social team is rounding down. What a time.
SSeventeen in a quarter is a statement. He's been aggressive since the tip.
ELet's move on. The State Department is suddenly very interested in Venezuela's political reconciliation.
SA Telegram channel called Market News Feed posted a string of statements. The State Department welcoming a third round of talks between the 2015 National Assembly and the interim government.
EAnd urging the release of all political prisoners. That's the part that matters.
SRight. But I couldn't confirm the exact wording from any official source. The channel says it, but there's no State Department release I can find.
ESo we're taking a Telegram channel's word for it.
SWe're not taking anyone's word. We're saying what's being posted, and being clear it's unverified.
EFair. But the substance— the U.S. pressing for political prisoners— that's been consistent for years.
SIt has. The question is whether this specific statement is real or just a rehash dressed up as news.
EAnd that's the problem with these market feed channels. They blur the line between actual reporting and recycled talking points.
SWhich is why we say it's unverified. If the State Department actually put this out, we'll know soon enough.
EUntil then, it's just noise from a channel that posts everything in all caps.
SThe all caps is how you know it's serious.
