I am not entirely convinced this part of the VAR protocols was followed here.

[ESPN @espn]

"VAR made their recommendation to the referee based on slow-motion and still replays, which is not aligned with VAR protocols."

@andydaviesref believes VAR made the incorrect decision on Folarin Balogun's red card.

Student loan debt is not a partisan issue it’s an American issue. My discharge petition will bring H.R. 2003 Affordable Loans for Students Act straight to the floor and cap federal student loan interest rates at 2%

To be clear: this is not a bailout, this is about making sure Americans who are trying to build a better future don’t have to spend their whole lives trying to pay off their debts.

Put bluntly, it sounds like you think this is a mistake by the Trump administration.

Reagan is rolling over in his grave. Iran’s nuclear ambitions were not curbed, and they have learned that threatening the Strait of Hormuz works and will undoubtedly leverage it in the future. Now, Iran gets to build brand-new infrastructure under this deal.

Before the war, the strait was open, Iran was being crushed by sanctions, and 13 service members were still alive. Now, 13 Americans are dead, families have paid billions at the pump, sanctions will be lifted, and the bombing has stopped. This is the worst foreign policy blunder in decades.

🚨 The Supreme Court left in place a Fifth Circuit ruling that the federal felon-in-possession firearm law cannot be applied to a Mississippi man whose only felony conviction was nonpayment of child support.

Mitt Romney to Harvard Business School graduates: "There's more to a country than its economy. To be a great nation, it must also be a good nation. The world needs good men. It needs good women. Good leaders. Good parents raising good children. There is no national success that could compensate for failure to be a good and noble people."

[Senator Thom Tillis @SenThomTillis]

The careless decision to reduce our force posture in Europe, along with moves by Pete Hegseth and his political henchmen to force out some of our finest general officers is amateur hour at best and deadly at worst.

Hegseth continues to surprise and disrespect our greatest allies and some of our best military professionals with impulsive decisions not grounded in reality or good judgment. If the rumors are true that Hegseth is trying to sideline General Chris Donahue, one of our nation’s finest warfighters, by downgrading U.S. Army Europe-Africa to a 3-star command, he is taking another step down a dangerous path. A step that is not in the best interests of our nation or our servicemembers.

General Donahue has dedicated his entire career to upholding the high standards and warrior ethos that Hegseth claims he is restoring to our ranks. Gen. Donahue has led Soldiers at all levels in Airborne (including Ft. Bragg’s 82nd) and Mechanized units, the 75th Ranger Regiment, and our most prestigious special operation units. He deployed over 20 times in support of Iraqi Freedom, Enduring Freedom, New Dawn, Inherent Resolve, Atlantic Resolve, Freedom’s Sentinel, European Assure, Deter and Reinforce, and in support of the Sudan crisis.

Hegseth would do well to surround himself with more patriots like General Donahue and to get his henchmen, who are not qualified to carry Donahue's bag, out of the Pentagon. Keep your word, Mr. Secretary: choose meritocracy over your mediocre yes-men.

HB 1201 by Rep Illg addresses a problem. The problem is that legislative pay hasn’t changed in 46 years.
1980 salary $16,800.
2026 salary $16,800.
Why? Legislators have to vote to increase their own pay, which is something they are extremely reluctant to do.
Result: Unrealistically low salary restricts who can serve. #lagov #lalege

[Norby Chabert @NorbNolty]

“It’s been over 46 years since the legislators last addressed their own pay. Jimmy Carter was president, and a third of our legislature wasn’t even born yet,” - Rep. Illg

You can’t get diverse & quality candidates to run for office if there isn’t fair compensation for the job.

Five months ago, I argued against the President's $4 trillion tariffs at the Supreme Court.

In 237 years, the Court had never struck down a sitting President's signature initiative. Legal scholars said it was impossible. Some of my own colleagues said it was impossible.

We won. 6-3.

But the real story isn't what happened in that courtroom. It's what happened in the months before. And its the subject of my TED talk, coming out tomorrow.

I had the best legal team in the nation, especially Colleen Roh Sinzdak, the most outstanding legal strategist I know. Huge thanks, too, go to the Liberty Justice Center (and in particular its fearless and hyper-intelligent leader Sara Albrecht), who organized the client small businesses, as well as to the brave small businesses themselves.

I also had four teachers preparing me.
A mindset coach who'd worked with Andre Agassi.
An improv coach who taught me that "Yes, and" works in Supreme Court arguments the same way it works everywhere else.
A meditation coach who taught me stillness.
And Harvey.

Harvey predicted many of the questions the Justices asked — sometimes almost word for word. Brilliant. Tireless. Occasionally insufferable.

Here's the catch: Harvey isn't a person.

Harvey is a bespoke AI I built over the last year with a legal AI company, trained on every question every Justice has asked in oral argument for 25 years, and everything they've ever written.

Tomorrow, TED releases my talk about what really happened — and what I learned standing at that podium.

AI can predict. AI can analyze. What AI cannot do is the one thing that actually won the argument.

Connect. Read the room. Hear not just a Justice's words, but her worry — and answer the worry.

That is the irreducibly human skill.
Find yours. Go deeper. In this age of AI, that's where your edge lives.

The talk goes live Thursday, May 7 at 11am ET: https://t.co/wLxKtBsHpF

What's the irreducibly human skill in your work — the thing AI can't touch?
