Vance was notably less forthright this morning than Trump about the Strait of Hormuz being reopened "toll free" immediately. The VP suggested the nature of the Strait's reopening will be part of the 60-day technical talks that begin once the MOU is signed
"Well, our expectation is that the Strait is going to be opened in a toll free way for the long term. And that's the sort of thing that we're going to figure out in these technical negotiations," he told CNBC

I asked Japan fans what the deal is with these trash bags they’re waving.
They’re actually functional trash bags. Everyone brings them to cheer during and clean up after themselves after.
Very on brand with Japan culture. easiest stadium cleanup Dallas has ever seen incoming

Anthony Bourdain: “…the world is, in fact, filled with mostly good and decent people who are simply doing the best they can. Everybody, it turns out, is proud of their food (when they have it). They enjoy sharing it with others (if they can). They love their children...”

This obviously sucks, but I also can’t fathom spending these prices on tickets and still flying out last minute

When your flight was supposed to leave from LGA at 12:30, then got delayed to 2:30, and now delayed to 4.
Which means not getting to San Antonio in time. Thanks @AmericanAir
A flight full of Knicks fans and you just messed us all up.

Good America 250 vibes will not come from our political leaders
They will come from massive fireworks displays, World Cup USMNT soccer victories, and European tourists discovering and openly embracing Bass Pro Shops

This is ridiculous. Courts should hold them to account for blowing the deadline. All to install a tarp so there isn’t a visual of the name coming down.

“Weiss and Bilton had grown fond of each other while collaborating on numerous documentary projects for Netflix that never saw the light of day.” Funny detail 🙃
Six former #60Minutes staffers spoke to Variety about the turmoil that has unfolded under CBS News chief Bari Weiss.
“I have a feeling that Bari will not be overseeing ‘60 Minutes’ for very much longer,” Steve Kroft tells Variety. “I think once the deal gets done with Warner Bros., people will demand that she be let go or move into another position. Everything she’s touched has turned to shit. Everything she’s touched has gone colossally wrong. And I don’t think she’s shown any talent for this position. She’s only fulfilling other people’s agendas.”
