A scandal that wrecked a long running ad campaign.
- After a weather delay and rerouting of a flight, I got into to DFW at 1:30 a.m. this morning. But I'm back to reclaim the title as THWMISB™.
- I was in the northeast United States for a week, but that Camp Mystic/Hill Country story was front and center of the news up there.
- And let me tell you something, Greg Abbott is completely wrong when he says rescue teams won't leave until every person is found or recovered. There are some of those bodies which will never be found.
- And flooding also struck North Carolina and Ruidoso, New Mexico. Perfectly normal, right?
- So what else happened while I looked away for a few days?:
- The Big Beautiful Bill became law which proves Trump is 100% in charge of the Republican Party.
- 60 Minutes paid Trump $16 million to settle a lawsuit about a run-of-the-mill edit. Incredible.
- The Trump Administration, through AG Pam Bondi, announced that there is no "Epstein list", and MAGA lost its mind in response.
- Elon Musk is so angry at Trump that he wants to start a third political party.
- Trump announced there will be a UFC fight on the White House lawn in 2026.
- Quotes I missed:
- Afraid that the Big Beautiful Bill will cut your Medicaid? Just go find a job with "good healthcare benefits" and the problem is solved. Video.
- The federal government felt "helpless" after the Hill Country flooding. That's comforting. Video.
- Skedaddle was defined. Video.
- Gov. Abbott added to the list yesterday. Video.
- The government retweeted Fox News this morning. It's officially State TV.
- Actor Michel Madsen died last week. I was looking at his filmography and saw that he appeared in an episode of Real Detective, a police docudrama from Canada (2016–2017) on Netflix, where he played the role of Texas Ranger Phil Ryan who is also a former Wise County sheriff. And the real Phil Ryan is even listed in the cast.
- Movie I just saw a few weeks back that stuck with me: The Florida Project - a 2017 film.
