Tennessee Republicans drew a 9–0 map and spread themselves thin doing it. The engineered districts cluster at 60–40, and a bad year is now stress-testing them. Gerrymanders don't eliminate risk. They concentrate it. tennessean.com/story/opinion…
Trump is in Mississippi. So this means?
Barack Obama is in Michigan. Kamala Harris is in New Hampshire. If Democrats are really running away with this election, what are their top surrogates doing in states they’re already supposed to win?

President Trump says inflation can “pay off [the federal] debt very rapidly.” It can’t. Inflation erodes old bonds, but lenders demand higher rates going forward.
Social Security and Medicare costs rise with prices too, and with deficits already projected for the foreseeable future, higher inflation offers no escape from America’s debt burden, write Cato’s @MrRBourne and Nathan Miller.

Reminder: this will be the final year that Alabama and LSU play an annual game.
Tide and Tigers will not meet during the 2027 season for the first time since 1963.
LSU next comes to Tuscaloosa in 2028, and Alabama after next week won't go to Baton Rouge for a regular season game until at least 2030 (the SEC has only finalized schedules through 2029).

“Giving money and power to government is like giving whiskey and car keys to teenage boys.” – P. J. O’Rourke.
P. J. O'Rourke was a libertarian, a satirist, and once dubbed "the funniest writer in America," by the Wall Street Journal. A staunch defender of individual liberty—and good scotch—P. J. wrote 21 books, three of which made the NYT's bestseller list.

Calls victims who fight because they don’t want to die helplessly "warmongers". How dare Ukraine refuse occupation and subjugation and disturb profitable deals with the genocidal Russian regime!

Attorney General Todd Blanche on President Trump saying he recommended the Alaska election lawsuit:
@margbrennan: “When the president said, ‘I'm the one that said do it,' who did he tell to do it?”
AG Blanche: “I will never, ever, ever talk about communications that I have with the president of the United States. I never have, and I never will.”
@margbrennan: “No, the president of the United States said this on camera. He said, ‘I told them to do it.’ Did he tell that to you?”
AG Blanche: “No, that wasn’t your question. No, he didn't say that on camera.”
@margbrennan: “Yes, he did.”

BASH: What's the crime?
AG TODD BLANCHE: What's the crime? Well it depends. There *could* be a crime. But the real wrong here is that Alaskans are gonna be confused.
BASH: The Alaskan Supreme Court ruled 4 months ago on this matter
