    Angel Reese Shares She’s Receive Death Threats Since Winning Championship: ‘I’ve been attacked’

    Angel Reese gets emotional after she reveals what she’s gone through since winning the 2023 championship. 

    During a press conference after her team lost the eighth women’s NCAA March Madness basketball tournament on Monday night, Reese opened up about being attacked and receiving harsh criticism since her big win last year. 

    “I just try to stand strong. I’ve been through so much. I’ve seen so much, I’ve been attacked so many times. Death threats, I’ve been sexualized, I’ve been threatened, I’ve been so many things and I’ve stood strong every single time,” the Louisiana State University Forward said. 

    She continued, “I just try to stand strong for my teammates ‘cause I don’t want them to see me down and not be there for them so, I just want them to always know I’m still human. All this happened since I won the national championship… I haven’t had peace since then.” 

    Reese added, “I would still sit here and say I’m unapologetically me. I’m gonna always leave that mark and be who I am and stand on that.” Reese ended with “Keep being who you are, keep waking every day, keep being motivated, staying who you are, staying 10 toes, don’t back down, just be confident.”

    Dollar Tree To Raise Cap Price To $7

    Dollar tree will be increasing their price cap… again.

    The retail chain announced that they will be increasing their price cap to $7. Rick dreiling, dollar tree cEO said on their fourth quarter earnings call, “This year, across 3,000 stores, we expect to expand our multi-price assortment by over 300 items at price points ranging from $1.50 to $7.”

    Reports say that this new price adjustment comes after the previous cap of $5 was set in June 2021. However, the store’s base price was permanently raised to $1.25.

    The items that will be priced at a higher rate will include food, personal care products, and pet items. Not all of the items will reach the $7 cap and the company has hope to bring multi-price merchandise into their stores.

    Dreiling added, “Over time, you will also see us fully integrate multi-price merchandise more into our stores so our shoppers will find $5 bags of dog food next to our traditional $1.25 pet treats and toys, and our $3 bags of candy will be found in the candy aisle.”

    He also pointed out that customers in higher income brackets have been frequently visiting the store. “The fastest-growing demographic is north of $125,000 a year in income,” said Dreiling. “It’s not like the Northeast is strong and the West is weak. That boat is lifting pretty even all the way up.”

    This price increase comes after it was announced that the retailer plans to close nearly 600 of its family dollar locations this year.
