Even if they get this thing “signed” it doesn’t give you a lot of confidence that it will last very long given the fact that Israel very obviously hates it.
Spoke with President Trump. He says the deal with Iran is expected to be signed in the next 2-3 hours. President Trump said he asked Israeli Prime Minister Netanyahu “what the fu*k are you doing?” on a call after the Israeli strikes against Beirut. He told Netanyahu not to conduct additional strikes. The President told me he will ask Iran not to respond with missile fire toward Israel. More on @FoxNews.

In polling taken in May of 2008, Hillary Clinton was underperforming Obama by an average of 1.5% in Indiana, which suggests that she might have lost it by a margin of 0.5%. Here's map of what that might have looked like based on the 2004 presidential and 2010 Senate elections.

openai's government relations guy getting lutnick on the phone to say actually 5.5 is just as dangerous as mythos, if not more so, and that codex is actually easier to use and more powerful for doing bad things

Football considerations aside, it’s very odd to me that Paxton is involving himself in this when there’s not much political upside and tons of political downside *within* Texas. Fanbases of Baylor, TCU, SMU, A&M and obviously UT are mostly gonna hate it.
The Texas Attorney General sent a formal letter to the Big 12 today alerting the conference that Texas Tech would take action against any league sanction.

I think if TTU went full heel and just said “we don’t care, you can’t stop us” I’d respect that more than this approach where they insist we have to treat Sorsby like a make a wish kid.

NEW: Texas Tech's Joey McGuire says Brendan Sorsby returning for Week 3 against Houston after his suspension is a "stretch": "He’s recovering from an addiction. I’ve sat down with this young man multiple times and what he’s going through and what he's been through is serious." (h/t @ChrisGordy) on3.com/news/joey-mcguire-br…

Here's a map of the swing by county from the 1948 presidential election in California to the 1950 Senate election. Richard Nixon was able to flip the seat by making massive gains with voters in Central California as well as in the rapidly growing urban areas of LA and San Diego.

I think if TTU had any self-preservation instincts they’d voluntarily choose to not let him play.
Big 12 ADs tell @YahooSports they’ve had “serious” talks on not playing Texas Tech. One SEC AD says there should be conversations about not playing Tech “in any sports.” The Brendan Sorsby ruling has left an industry jarred. “It’s total f***** bullshit.” bit.ly/4uWicN7

You have this really odd situation where Iran is calling Trump’s bluff that he isn’t willing to escalate again (because of the economy), while Israel is also calling his bluff on the idea of any meaningful break in the relationship if Israel reignites the war.
The Israeli Air Force struck military targets belonging to the Iranian terror regime in western and central Iran a short while ago.

It’s easy to overlook it given the larger racial implications of the VRA getting knifed and then confederate states wiping their black majority districts almost literally overnight. But the court has *also* absolutely destroyed “communities of interest” as a meaningful concept.
In 2023, chief justice John Roberts & SCOTUS majority said Alabama's argument for a "community of interest" along the gulf coast was BS. Tonight, SCOTUS takes a reversal and says that a court-ordered map was not legal because it failed to keep Gulf coast comunity together

Ur gonna look me in the eyes and pretend that geographic districts mean anything when you can throw them out and redraw for maximal partisan advantage after every single election now? Fakest shit ever lmao. Proportional representation is the way forward.

The funny thing about Bari Weiss setting fire to the CBS brand is that it’s not in service of overt Trumpism, but rather the “anti-anti Trump and doggedly pro Israel” constituency that is already hilariously small (and shrinking).

What better way to celebrate America 250 than by having the price of gas go up by another $2.50 between now and July 4th.
BREAKING: Iran announces it is ending all negotiations with the US and vows to "completely" block the Strait of Hormuz, per CNBC. Iran says it is ending negotiations due to repeated ceasefire violations including Israeli strikes in Lebanon. Iran also threatens to block the Bab el-Mandeb Strait.

Here's a map of the 1948 presidential election in South Dakota by congressional district. Thomas Dewey won both of the state's districts again in his second attempt at the presidency, though he only won SD-01 by 3 points.

Here's a dot map of the 1860 presidential election in Florida. Southern Democratic candidate John C. Breckinridge easily won the state by dominating in most counties except for the tip of northwest Florida.

I cannot express how much I would *love* for the America 250 celebrations to function this way. But it’s also obvious why we don’t want to be party to something Trump is obviously trying to co-opt.
Gratuitously stigmatizing participation in government-sanctioned 250th celebrations is a civic tragedy not to mention a huge missed opportunity.

This term he’s been egregious about taking things that don’t *belong* to him - the most notorious example being the White House ballroom obsession - and trying to make them inextricably linked to Trump. We have headlines from literally *today* about how he wants to be on money.
