I wanted to write about cocktails but things got a little crazy.

Neon Big Tex began life as a sign for a Dallas liquor store but looks totally at home now at the great State Fair of Texas.

Tennessee taking credit for winning the Battle of San Jacinto is something I did not anticipate. No sentient person did.
HookEm!
Tennessee is the real UT because without Tennessee Texas would have never existed and instead of playing football Texans would be speaking Spanish and playing soccer.

I have an idea.
Scoop: President Trump is headlining a "Golden Age" event in D.C. next week w/ top officials and tech executives, according to invitation materials obtained by @CBSNews -- which said Trump will deliver an "address to the nation."
Also listed to be in attendance: Marco Rubio, Elon Musk, Jensen Huang, Tom Brown, among others, + panels on AI.

I want to say that “Can You Hear The People Sing?” was the anthem of Hong Kong protestors in 2019.

On a personal note…speaking as an American and not as a journalist…I was overwhelmed with deep emotion and overwhelming pride observing close up President Trump’s military review with President Xi of China today in the Rose Garden.
Seeing President Trump, Vice President Vance, the First and Second Ladies and Cabinet members standing alongside President Xi’s delegation (who look like my ancestors).
I was closely watching our American leaders’ faces and I think they were feeling the same way I was.
Watching the great members of our military march and perform.
Seeing this up close at the White House right there in the Rose Garden.
On a personal level I can’t believe how blessed I am to be a member of the White House Press Pool in a time such as this.
…because my soul gets to be touched & reminded in moments like these how insanely beautiful it is to be an American.

Part of an important thread. Other networks like to paint Fox as pro-Trump propaganda but it never has been. It’s never even been fully pro-conservative.
3/ Think about that.
A senator gets a camera. A visiting dignitary gets a camera.
The President gets a black screen.
FOX may call that solidarity. I see a network using its position to settle a score with a President it has never liked.

So nice to see the state visit here will include Xi’s wife Peng Liyuan and First Lady Melania Trump. They seem happy to meet again at the DC arrival.
Melania Trump isn't part of this week's China visit but she's still popular there. From the SCMP: "The two-time first lady has become an online celebrity in China, especially among women....social media posts reflect an admiration for her independence, her taste in fashion and how she’s raising her teenage son."
