Eternal rest grant unto her, O Lord, and let perpetual light shine upon her. May her soul and the souls of all the faithful departed, through the mercy of God, rest in peace. Amen.
Kay Granger devoted her life to serving her Fort Worth, Texas community — as a teacher and businesswoman, on the Fort Worth Zoning Commission and City Council, as Mayor, and in Congress for nearly three decades, where she also served as Chairwoman of the House Appropriations Committee.
Throughout her career, she broke barriers for women in public service. She was the first woman to serve as Mayor of Fort Worth, the first Republican woman elected to represent Texas in the U.S. House of Representatives, and the first Republican woman to chair the House Appropriations Committee.
Kelly and I send our prayers to her family, loved ones, and the Fort Worth community as we remember her extraordinary life of service and lasting legacy. She was a dear friend who will be greatly missed.
The Oklahoma City Thunder and Russell Westbrook are looking to finalize a one year, $3.8 million veteran minimum deal, bringing the former MVP back to OKC in a reunion.

Tens of thousands of alumni return to Stillwater, OK for a weekend to celebrate our alma mater and attend a @CowboyFB game at Boone Pickens Stadium!
We’re planning another USA trip this fall!🇺🇸
It’s going to be a road trip with college football as the main focus, but we’re also planning to check out plenty of other sports and unique American events.
The idea for this trip actually came from our visits to a few colleges on the last trip. Everyone told us how crazy it gets on gamedays, so now we want to experience it ourselves.
Now we need your expertise: Which colleges should we visit? What games are interesting? And what other events or activities (also non sporting related) are worth checking out in September/October?
So far we have these on our list:
- Oktoberfest in Helen, GA
- Texas State Fair
- Breeders' Cup in Kentucky
What about shoppers from NJ or CT? How about Westchester or Nassau County? Why should they benefit from NYC taxpayer subsidies? They shouldn’t be allowed to shop in these stores.
You’re going to need to ask for ID.
Scott Galloway just explained why China doesn’t need to build better AI than America. It only needs to make American AI worthless.
Galloway: “I think China is beginning to engage in what I’ll call AI dumping.”
Not competing. Dumping.
It’s the term economists use for flooding a foreign market with below-cost goods until the domestic industry collapses.
Galloway: “They’re going to have a series of open-weight models. About a third of corporations now are supposedly using Chinese lightweight open-weight models that are cheaper.”
Not better. Cheaper.
A third of corporations. Already.
China isn’t trying to out-innovate Silicon Valley. It’s trying to collapse the economics beneath it.
Price warfare at the infrastructure layer.
Galloway: “If I were Xi, I would just dump cheap AI into the US market.”
This playbook is old. China ran it with steel. Ran it with solar. Ran it with semiconductors.
Flood a market with a cheaper version until the domestic industry can’t sustain itself.
AI is next.
Galloway: “The moment large corporations start announcing they’re disengaging these multi-million dollar site licenses with Anthropic or OpenAI, they’re using these inexpensive Chinese models…”
One CFO after another decides the Chinese model at a fraction of the cost is good enough.
Not better. Good enough.
“Good enough” at a lower price has killed more market leaders than any superior product ever has.
Galloway: “…and the market realizes that there’s no way they can justify these incredible valuations, I think the US market crashes.”
Not because the technology failed.
Because the business model did.
American AI companies are valued on the assumption that corporations will pay premium prices for premium models.
China’s whole strategy is to make that assumption false.
Galloway: “40% of the S&P now is directly or tangentially related to this giant bet America’s making on AI.”
40% of the S&P. Tied to one sector.
Galloway: “The majority of GDP growth over the last two years has come from AI CapEx.”
The majority of GDP growth. From one source.
America didn’t diversify its future. It concentrated everything into a single bet, then left that bet undefended.
Galloway: “If that slows down, we are immediately in a recession.”
Immediately. Not gradually. Not over quarters.
The distance between AI boom and American recession is one procurement decision.
America built the most advanced AI on Earth and forgot to build an economy that survives someone selling it cheaper.
The threat to American AI was never that China would build something smarter.
It was that China would build something cheaper, and American corporations would choose the price.
China’s real weapon isn’t Chinese technology. It’s American capitalism.
The same rational self-interest that built the AI industry will dismantle it the moment a cheaper alternative appears. The market has no patriotism. Only price sensitivity.
The technology race was never the real race.
The real race was always whether America could turn its AI dominance into something that survives being undercut.
America hasn’t even started running it.
China already has.

#OK05's @stephaniebice is favored to easily defeat @jenanelsonforok in November
But she's taking no chances, and is in the strongest position she's been in yet heading into a general election
Here's why

Did you notice how incredible the field looked during the World Cup Final?
That's because the grass was developed right here in Oklahoma by the @okstate Turfgrass Team. In fact, 28 World Cup matches this year were played on OSU-developed bermudagrass, including the championship match.
So proud of this team for proving, once again, that Oklahoma innovation is making an impact not just across our nation, but around the world!

🇨🇳 China just torched the U.S. AI lead in a single afternoon.
Moonshot AI, a little-known Beijing startup, dropped Kimi K3 on Thursday and it instantly kicked into the top tier of global models.
It beat Anthropic's Fable 5 and OpenAI's GPT-5.6 Sol on coding tests, then edged out Opus 4.8 on a broader ranking while costing 40% less.
Now the knockout blow. On July 27, Moonshot is giving Kimi away as open-weight, so any company or government on Earth can download it and run it on their own machines. No subscription, no permission slip.
For months U.S. labs slept fine telling themselves China was 6 to 12 months behind. That head start just evaporated.
And Kimi doesn't even need to be the best model to win. Near the top, 40% cheaper, and yours to keep is what most buyers actually want.
That's the nightmare in Silicon Valley. The trillion-dollar valuations and hundred-billion-dollar data centers all rest on one bet: U.S. stays ahead.
Kimi just kicked that out from under them.

China is not putting moratoriums on data centers. The race for super intelligence needs to be won by the USA or our country and democracy will be at risk.
