A personal news update: Next Tuesday will be my last day at WFAA. It’s the end of my time in a profession that has provided me with amazing opportunities, but I’m incredibly excited about the future. I’ll still be watching, reading and cheering from the sidelines.

Absolute scenes in Arlington. You can tell everyone is just truly happy to be part of this from both countries and locals. Feels like a celebration more than a sporting event. Nothing but incredible vibes all around.

Anyone waiting on last minute Japan-Netherlands tickets to drop is price is going to be disappointed. Huge spike. Minimum on TickPick is now $1,225…which gets you a 400-level seat…in row 20. StubHub minimum is $1,233.

The nights are on the road, the mornings at home, the more things change, etc. Etc.

PELLEY: “.. about four hours after our deadline, Bari Weiss sends an email to my boss, Tanya Simon. Two of the things in the email include, can we make the protesters look more violent?” @nytimes

New statement from Scott Pelley:   There has never been anything in America like 60 Minutes.   The Sunday tradition is the most successful program of any kind in history. For more than a decade, its innovative growth on every major online platform has extended its reach to countless millions around the world. This spring, at the end of our 58thseason, 60 Minutes grew rapidly with an unheard-of 9% jump in viewers on CBS.   “60” has been the number-one program in America for decades because our beloved audience finds integrity, quality, and humanity in our stories. When stewardship of the program passed to my colleagues and me, our responsibility was to expand energetically into a new age of media technology while preserving the values our audience expects. Now, the new owner of our network is casting this legend aside, apparently to curry a moment of favor with the Trump administration.   The waste is heartbreaking.   Last month, 60 Minutes lost its DNA when our entire senior leadership and two of our best on-air correspondents were cruelly fired without cause. Good people were silenced because they stood up for our audience. They stood for fairness against the forces of political bias; they stood for professionalism against chaos.   For my part, new management has instructed me to inject falsehoods and bias into a politically sensitive story. I’ve been told to include assertions that are unverified. To date, in every case, I have managed to ignore these instructions or refuse them. Recently, politicians have been invited to choose correspondents for interviews on the broadcast. Giving politicians control over 60 Minutes interviews is not how this is done. Finally, incompetence and unprofessionalism in the new management have wreaked havoc. In a case involving one of my stories, the entire program came within 19 minutes of not getting on the air at all.   At 60 Minutes, we have fought harder than anyone knows to save the program that became an American icon. We owed that to our millions of viewers. I am deeply moved by the thousands of wishes we have received to “keep up the good fight.” Most of the men and women of CBS News are still in that fight. But now the collapse of values at the top has become untenable. The leadership of 60 Minutes is no longer recognizable. The principles I hold dear are gone, and so I must leave as well.   I depart after 37 years at CBS with one emotion—a heart brimming with gratitude for the men and women of CBS News who encouraged and enriched my work, very often at the risk of their own lives. I pray for a day when those people and their ideals are honored again—a day when sanity, competence, and courage return.   Scott Pelley

“We spotted nine Polymarket accounts, all connected, who made, collectively,$2.4 million betting almost exclusively on U.S. military operations,” says Nicolas Vaiman, co-founder of the small data analytics firm Bubblemaps. “And now here's the crazy part: 98% win rate.” cbsn.ws/4wwp0T7

Got overly excited when I saw this because it’s an under-discussed topic. Certain we hyped subsea cables when we recorded our data center financing episode because @bakerbotts worked on 2Africa project Samanth mentions. Timely with the Submarine Networks conf in London in 2 weeks

Really nice applause and moment when Eli Drinkwitz brings up Ahmad Hardy at #Mizzou alumni event in DFW.  Says it’ll be a couple weeks before it’s clear if Hardy can play this year but back in Missouri and resting. A guy who deserves everything.

The U.S. is reportedly spending more than $1 billion/day for a conflict that Iran can withstand without increased hardship for another 100 days.

6:49am: sudden spike in oil futures trading. no news. no announcement. nothing public. 7:05am: trump announces a pause on iran strikes. markets move. someone knew. 16 minutes early. $580 million in contracts. the corruption is staggering.

This felt like the moment when everyone realized it’s not happening tonight

Well, what do you know? *76%* of Texas school voucher applications come from families whose children are not enrolled in public schools. Less than 1% of public and charter school families have applied for vouchers. It's straight up welfare for the wealthy #txlege

Three restaurants are open in Bishop Arts, but you wouldn’t know it. A walk this morning felt like an arctic expedition. Few signs of life. No sign of plows or salt trucks.

To be clear about what this depicts: An immigration officer threw a woman onto the ground. Alex Pretti, a registered nurse on scene as a legal observer, is filming and goes to help the woman up. He is then pepper sprayed and thrown to the ground for no discernible reason. Many officer surround and assault him; one removes his firearm, which police say appears to have been legally registered. They then execute him with a hail of bullets. They are, objectively speaking, both cowards and criminals, while Pretti is what we teach people an American ought to be.
