Must be the same refs calling Indiana-Northwestern as the crew that called Michigan-Western Michigan.

New: The Inspector General for the intelligence community is investigating the CIA’s vetting of David Rush, who had $40 million in gold bars stored at his home, and the scope of his alleged wrongdoings, sources say. @glubold @dandeluce nbcnews.com/politics/nationa…

At least a dozen Republicans in competitive midterm races have either publicly distances themselves from key Trump policies, or attempted a website rebrand WH says there is no distance between Trump and Republicans. It quickly sent us LOTS of videos of Republicans praising Trump, many from the RNC midterm convention w/@jonallendc @GarrettHaake nbcnews.com/politics/2026-el…

People seem to have memory-holed Don Young, Peltola's predecessor as a House member in Alaska. Grabbing staffers, brandishing knives, and ... certain other things... Via @MEPFuller & @Emma_Dumain rollcall.com/2014/10/16/don-…

At 7% interest on mortgages, the incentives of housing shift. For those who have enough money to buy, it may make more sense for many of them to rent and invest the difference.

Fire Dan Quinn before the game is over.

Wild, and heartwarming, to see @morgan_freeman at Ole Miss getting cheered by the students. When he graduated from high school in the mid-1950s, it would be another 7 years until fellow Air Force veteran James Meredith, with the protection of JFK & the Army, integrated Ole Miss.

THIS ONE’S FOR D.C. Cade Cavalli has agreed to a 4-year contract extension through the 2030 season with a club option for 2031.

Iran messaging roulette: The Iran war is over. Iran wants to make a deal. The U.S. will take out civilian infrastructure in Iran. The U.S. is blocking the Strait of Hormuz. Iran wants to make a deal. Trump may annihilate Iran. The Iran war is over. Iran wants to make a deal.

Put AOC in the JD Vance “Trojan Horse” camp?

It will not help the public impression that Washington politicians are walling themselves off from the people. The reason the speakers lobby has been open to reporters is for the benefit of lawmakers, not the media. They can get messages out, hear info from outside bubble, etc

Maybe take this poll with a grain of Kansas grain — wheat, sorghum, whatever.
