I thought I was done when the season ended. I wasn't ready to announce it, and I knew I needed some time to really decide, but I was pretty sure I played my last game. I was honest at that last press conference when I said I needed to look at myself and deicide if I still love

Q: Dems ditched Graham Platner after sexual assault allegations. Two members of your conference -- Max Miller and Cory Mills -- face domestic violence allegations. Why keep them in your conference?

MIKE JOHNSON: The key word there is 'allegation'

Wow -- Ken Paxton and his team abruptly shut down a news conference and bail after journalists try to ask him about his various scandals

Scoop: U.S. intelligence reports offer a pessimistic view of new rounds of U.S. military strikes against Iran: They are unlikely to have a significant impact on Iran or soften its negotiating position, current and former officials tell @wstrobel and me.

[Fareed Zakaria @FareedZakaria]

Stunning reporting from The New York Times showed that Israel groomed the staunchly anti-Israel former Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad as an intelligence asset. How did that happen? My conversation with @MarkMazzettiNYT, one of the reporters who broke the story:

[Aaron Blake @AaronBlake]

Iran injured dozens of US soldiers in military strikes last week, before two were killed.

"But the Pentagon did not disclose the earlier strikes, nor the casualties and damage they inflicted."

To clarify, this false-positive lab sample DOES NOT change the basis for FDA’s ongoing outbreak investigation or the overwhelming epidemiological data supporting the current voluntary recall by Taylor Farms.

Over the weekend, FDA alerted Taylor Farms that a new sample of shredded lettuce from Taylor Farms de Mexico tested positive for Cyclospora during import examination at the Southern Border. This ended up being a false positive, and Taylor Farms was alerted to the corrective test result Sunday.

FDA’s traceback investigation and outbreak data continue to converge on shredded iceberg lettuce from Taylor Farms locations in central Mexico. FDA will continue to work with federal and state partners to investigate this multistate outbreak and ensure products implicated in this outbreak have been removed from the market.

Protecting the American public remains our highest priority. We encourage the public to continue to avoid all products listed in Taylor Farms’ voluntary recall. https://t.co/ksnGV2rfq2

Two Utah nonprofits and their founders have sued Fox and celebrity investor Kevin O'Leary — alleging they were defamed when O'Leary repeatedly claimed on the network that they were operating on behalf of the Chinese Communist Party.

New: AIPAC is no longer fundraising for the 18 Dems it endorsed — 15 of whom are up for reelection — who voted this week to end U.S. aid to Israel

Now 71% of the candidates AIPAC is funding are Republicans, & 29% are Dems

SCOOP: Some White House aides scrambled when it became clear a bunch of Polymarket accounts were making bets on the U.S.-Iran ceasefire earlier this year. Officials started asking- could there be people inside the government making such bets?

The CFTC is investigating an instance of a GOP congresswoman tipping off a friend about Trump planning to pick JD Vance as his running mate prior to the president's announcement in 2024.

And a then think tank rep, now a White House official, tipped off an ally about Vance set to become Trump's running mate.

In each case- the people taking the tips believed it to be such concrete intel they placed the bets and made off with big winnings

Yesterday — for the first time, and after important conversations with my parents — I decided to publicly reveal that my beautiful, wonderful, sweet, caring mother has been battling Alzheimer’s for a number of years. It’s a cruel disease, but she is a faithful woman who is the human opposite of cruelty.

Fighting this invisible thief through medical science and public policy has become a point of emphasis for me, so when you see me talking about it, this is why. It’s personal. Here is my interview with a doctor who was diagnosed with early-onset Alzheimer’s, who talks about some major advancements in treatment and the importance of early diagnosis.

Love you, mom. https://t.co/Nb1tJGlgVU

[Zachary Cohen @ZcohenCNN]

The documents Trump is referring to right now, and CNN has reviewed all of them, largely discuss vulnerabilities that have been known for years and/or are reflected in the 2021 US intel community assessment.

None of the declassified information supports the claim that any previous election results — including the 2020 presidential contest that Trump lost — were manipulated by foreign interference or fraud in a way that would’ve changed the outcome.

🚨EXCLUSIVE: Andrew and Tristan Tate - facing rape and sex-trafficking charges in the UK and Romania - spent the week partying in DC as guests of Trump's special envoy, Paolo Zampolli, the man who introduced him to Melania.
Then also turned up in Republican Rep. @WesleyHuntTX's congressional office for a photo op.
