Q: Do you have specific AI guardrails you're trying to put together with China?
TRUMP: No. One of the things I talk to China about is the denuclearization of weapons

I am not seeing many Trump flags at all on boats in Dana Point harbor. The only other time in the last decade they’ve been down like this is after January 6th. Huh.

Q: Can you explain what's going on with the bandages on Trump's hand?

Virginia serves as a good comparison to what we witnessed in Indiana today.
A GOP Leg state with large majorities couldn’t get it done.
A Dem Leg state with slim majorities could.
If nothing else it tells you which side has the momentum right now.

Pretty remarkable how Virginia Dems plowed through redistricting referendum before election
Had bare majorities of 21-19 in State Senate and 51-49 in House or Delegates
Couldn’t lose a single vote
We’ll see if they have to pass a map, but everyone was on board for principle

everyone is adopting this frame apparently which is wrong in that Powell is not accusing the administration of malfeasance or exaggeration
BREAKING: Jerome Powell revealed that staffers at the Fed think the government could be overestimating the number of jobs created by 60,000 each month.
The true numbers could be closer to a loss of 20,000 jobs a month. trib.al/o9uyuPt
