  • Heat outscored 37-8 in fourth, fall 121-114 to shorthanded Magic in Butler’s absence
    South Florida Sun-Sentinel, Saturday - 12/21/2024 - 09:40 PM

    ORLANDO — Just when you thought any worse wasn’t possible after blowing an eight-point overtime lead in Detroit at the start of the week, it got worse for the Miami Heat at the end of the week. Against a severely depleted Orlando Magic roster, the absence of Jimmy Butler hardly appeared to register through the first three quarters for Erik Spoelstra’s team, with the Heat racing to a 25-point lead. And then, a collapse of epic proportions, and now, a three-game losing streak following Saturday night’s 121-114 loss at Kia Center. “These are tough lessons that we all have to learn,” Spoelstra said.

    After six years at the helm of the Congressional Progressive Caucus, dedicated to "building the infrastructure" necessary to effectively fight for key policies on Capitol Hill, term-limited Rep. Pramila Jayapal is determined to ensure that the CPC's incoming leaders "are as successful as possible." Jayapal (D-Wash.) spoke with Common Dreams on Wednesday about her time leading the caucus of nearly 100 lawmakers whose legislative priorities include "comprehensive immigration reform, good-paying jobs, fair trade, universal healthcare, debt-free college, climate action, and a just foreign policy." She was elected first vice chair of the CPC in June 2017, just months into her freshman term in Congress.
