I sat down with Senate Majority Leader John Thune last week to discuss some of the math behind keeping his conference, mostly, united.
One lesson he keeps returning to — there are “things you can’t control.”

#NBAFinals takeaways:
1. Spurs Coach Johnson’s rotations/sub patterns. Effective players not in game at crucial moments. Why?
2. The @nyknicks slow starts not mattering. Shows @spurs early Helter Skelter defense was not PHYSICALLY sustainable.
3. NBA has a dirty Wemby problem.

Wemby put his foot where Brunson’s was going to land. He’s beyond dirty. He wants to hurt guys. The league eventually has to stop this. What say you, @NBA ?

No one has ever referred to it as “the Harvard of West Texas.” Guns down, maybe, fellas? For a little while?
A message to the Texas Tech community from our leadership.

Saw a guy in a #Knicks jersey earlier while driving these mean streets. Gave him three honks (Let’s. Go. Knicks.). He yelled, “Knicks in fucking five.” 🏀🟠🔵 #NBAFinals

'Electronic signing' — President Trump on an almost daily basis criticizes former President Biden for his White House's use of the autopen to sign official documents.
Earlier today : Pakistan PM: We are closer to a peace deal than ever before. With finalisation likely expected in the next 24 hours, Pakistan is preparing for the electronic signing of the peace deal immediately after, followed by technical level talks next week.
We would like to thank United States of America and Islamic Republic of Iran for their ongoing commitment during the negotiations, and we extend our sincere appreciation to our brothers in the region for their support. We are confident that this historic peace deal will form a strong foundation for lasting peace.
