Usha Vance: All of these incredible accomplishments, they take a lot of reading. Do you have any time to read for fun these days?

POTUS: I end up reading mostly newspapers. I usually read stories about myself.

D.C. will be hotter than 99 percent of the planet on Friday.

Only parts of Africa's Sahara Desert, the Middle East, China's Gobi Desert and a few spots in the Desert Southwest will be hotter.

Meanwhile, Sen. Michael Bennet is down nearly 14 points in the governor primary and 30-year Rep. Diana DeGette can’t crack 40% in her bid for renomination.

Colorado Democrats are not happy with their representatives in Washington.

Hello. Sen. John Hickenlooper’s victory margin in the Democratic primary is down to under 6 points. A former two-term governor and institution in Colorado facing an under-funded progressive candidate who isn’t well known outside Denver.

Republicans fear Trump will use the SAVE Act to blame them if they lose the election. https://t.co/GIMmynOZcz

Only upside theory for Boston that makes sense to me: Brad Stevens is making a huge bet against Jaylen Brown — that he's over-valued, that this new Sixers team will implode and deliver some very good draft picks to the Celtics in 2028/2030. https://t.co/dbxubSC2f4

Much like Warren in 2020, McMorrow showed early promise but polls indicate she's getting boxed out down the stretch on both ends — from one rival consolidating the left and the other consolidating the middle.

I wrote about the uncanny parallels between Michigan's Senate primary and 2020 dynamic. Stevens (role of Biden) vs El-Sayed (Sanders) McMorrow (Warren). It continues today with a late AOC endorsement of the lefty candidate.

Does this one end differently?

Big endorsement here: @AOC is backing @AbdulElSayed in the Michigan Senate primary, while Schumer is supporting his rival Haley Stevens.

[Team AOC @TeamAOC]

We are proud to endorse Abdul El-Sayed to be Michigan’s next senator.

Abdul is building a winning coalition by putting forward an agenda that speaks directly to working people.

Election Day is August 4th. Head to https://t.co/5UvAnYHnru to get involved!

Paramedics responded to a ‘cardiac arrest’ at Mitch McConnell’s home on day of hospitalization

BLOCKBUSTER: The Boston Celtics have agreed to trade Jaylen Brown to the Philadelphia 76ers for Paul George, two first-round picks and two second-round picks, sources tell ESPN.

BREAKING: Two people climbed the Empire State Building in New York City on Wednesday with a banner reading: "When the power of love beats the love of power the world knows peace."

Huge loss for the Knicks. @23savage____ was a critical piece of the championship team and he’ll be difficult to replace. Here he is grabbing an insane offensive rebound, surrounded by four Spurs including Wembanyama, to ice the last game of the NBA finals.

[Shams Charania @ShamsCharania]

Free agent center Mitchell Robinson has agreed to a three-year, $47.4 million deal to sign with the Boston Celtics, with a player option in third season, sources tell ESPN. Robinson departs the Knicks after serving a key role on the historic championship team.
