New York and Minnesota still leading the way, both unbeaten heading into Commissioner's Cup play
NEW YORK (AP) — The New York Liberty and Minnesota Lynx picked up right where they left off last season when reaching the WNBA Finals. Both teams have gone undefeated through their first seven games this year with the Lynx set to host Phoenix on Tuesday night in a Commissioner's Cup matchup. The Liberty and Lynx faced off last season in the in-season tournament final with Minnesota coming away with the victory. New York got revenge, winning the WNBA championship for the first time in franchise history. The two teams are each 7-0 this season, marking the latest that more than one franchise had been undefeated this long into the season since both the Lynx and Los Angeles Sparks started 2016 winning their first 11 games. New York has dominated its opponents so far, averaging 91.9 points a game, and winning by nearly 23 points a contest. That includes a 48-point victory over Connecticut, the second-largest margin of victory in WNBA history. Minnesota has been finding ways to win close contests. Before beating Golden State by 11 on Sunday, the Lynx had won their previous four games by a total of 18 points. The Lynx and Liberty won't play in the regular season for a few more months with their four matchups coming in the span of a few weeks — the first of which is on July 30. Power poll rankings New York led the way as the No. 1 team in the power poll again this week. Minnesota was right behind in second. The national voting panel chose Phoenix third and Atlanta fourth. The Dream moved up three places. Las Vegas, Seattle and Indiana were the next three. Washington, Golden State and Chicago followed. Los Angeles, Dallas and Connecticut rounded out the poll. Commissioner's Cup The WNBA will play its annual in-season tournament over the next few weeks. Each team will play the other teams in their conference one time during that window. The West will have six games with the addition of expansion team Golden State. The East will play five. The teams with the best record in each conference will face off in the title game. The winning team receives a $500,000 cash prize pool to divvy up as well as each player on that squad will get $5,000 in cryptocurrency from Bitcoin. Player of the week Allisha Gray of Atlanta earned Player of the Week honors for the second time in her career. The Dream guard, who also won the award in June 2023, averaged 26.5 points, 4.5 rebounds and 4 assists to help Atlanta win both its games last week on the road over Los Angeles and Seattle. Other players receiving consideration included A'ja Wilson of Las Vegas, Napheesa Collier of Minnesota and Sabrina Ionescu of New York. ___

Target struggles to stop spiral amid customer backlash
It's June, which usually means rainbows on store shelves and brand campaigns celebrating Pride Month. But this year, Target (TGT) customers noticed something very different. According to X and Reddit users, instead of its typical front-and-center Pride displays, the retailer's stores are now covered in red, white, and blue with patriotic gear, American flag-themed decor, and USA-branded merchandise. Depending on the store, some users have noted that Pride sections do exist-but they're minimal, hard to find, or noticeably scaled back compared to previous years. Reddit user u/aiemmaes posted a photo with placeholder "lorem ipsum" text on product hang tags, saying "They didn't finish editing the tags on the pride merch." Related: Amid DEI controversy, Target makes a surprising move Users say Target looks like it's attempting to pivot-but doing it nervously, with one foot still stuck in the past. Many described the display as a rushed attempt to back away from Pride merchandising while still trying to avoid upsetting either side of the cultural divide. The thread, shared in r/Target, sparked hundreds of upvotes and comments, many from Target employees and customers alike, confused by the mixed signals. The move has reignited backlash from both sides. Some see it as Target abandoning its values and community commitments, while others are praising the company for spotlighting patriotism instead. But beyond the social firestorm, the deeper issue is this: Target is stuck between what it once was and what it's trying to be now, and neither side is buying it. melissamn / Shutterstock Target's struggle isn't new-it just keeps compounding. Based on the 2025 Q1 earnings report, the retailer showed a 3.1% drop in merchandise sales and a 3.8% decline in comparable store sales. According to Retail Dive, even once-promising shop-in-shop partnerships like Ulta are now being quietly paused. Yet another red flag for a company still searching for stability. Internally, CEO Brian Cornell has attempted to reassure employees that Target remains the same inclusive, guest-focused company it's always many remain unconvinced. Outside those walls, the confidence isn't there either. Target has launched a major strategic overhaul-revamping private-label brands, rolling out exclusive partnerships, and pushing a new merchandising playbook. Related: Target claims big win with self-checkout changes It's even meeting with high-profile activists to address DEI concerns that have become a flashpoint since 2023. But the changes may be too little, too late. A recent Instagram post from creator @theonecalledjai shared a bold graphic urging a boycott of Target from June 3–9, stating, "Enough is Enough. Shop Anywhere Else!!!!" This reflects growing frustration from left-leaning customers who feel betrayed by Target's DEI retreat, and it quickly drew support from others echoing the same message. Customers remain frustrated. Analysts are skeptical. And competitors are gaining ground quickly, thanks in part to a stronger grocery mix and less political heat. Despite its efforts, Target's image reset is still shaky at best. And time is running out. Target was once the retailer that got it right-stylish private labels, a sleek in-store experience, and bold messaging that resonated with younger, progressive shoppers. For years, it played the part of the "cool" big-box store, standing apart from more utilitarian rivals like Walmart. Now, that very identity seems to be unraveling. Over the past few years, the very things that once set Target apart have started working against it. What used to feel fresh and forward-thinking now risks alienating shoppers on both sides of the cultural aisle. More on retail: Walmart store closing, auctioning off laptops and flat screen TVsHome Depot CEO sounds the alarm on a growing problemFamous restaurant files for Chapter 11 bankruptcy And while its competitors have caught up in areas like digital convenience, grocery, and price, Target is still trying to prove its relevance beyond aesthetics. The numbers reinforce the urgency. In 2022, revenue growth stalled. In 2023 and 2024, sales declined. And 2025 is already shaping up to follow suit. Even as digital sales rise, store traffic is slipping, and margins remain under pressure. Meanwhile, Walmart is playing offense by growing its share in key categories and projecting continued sales gains despite tariffs and inflation. Target is reorganizing. It's experimenting. And it's investing in private-label revamps and exclusive partnerships. But whether that's enough to bring back disillusioned shoppers (or build trust with new ones) remains unclear. Because right now, the retailer that once led the pack is struggling to stop the spiral.
