- They tried for an hour before they gave up. That's ghoulish.
- Dateline Virginia: A school administrator was criminally charged when a six year old brought a gun to school and shot and injured a teacher. Yesterday, the judge granted a directed verdict after the State rested. (The fact that the prosecutors charged her with eight counts for each of the eight bullets the child had tells you a lot.)
- Well, actually it was a former United States Attorney for the Southern District of Texas..
- The news of this NASCAR death came down yesterday afternoon, but the New York Post has an update this morning.
- Update from yesterday: A grand jury refused to indict the Trinidad, Texas woman who was guilty of complaining about the city's water.
- Dateline Austin. We truly can't have nice things.
- Speaker Mike Johnson pulled the measure off the floor yesterday once he knew Trump was in trouble.
- Lots of headlines yesterday about how Republican senators were outraged with the Insurrectionist Slush Fund after a closed door meeting with Acting AG Todd Blanche. So what are they going to do to stop it? See the highlighted text:

- The Business Second™. From the front page of the Washington Post, and I find this surprising:
- Legal stuff. I promise you AI is going to have this number skyrocket even more. And the AI- prepared-document filings by pro se litigants in those cases will be able to fill the Library of Congress.
- Very legal nerdy stuff: For you civil lawyers, the Fort Worth Court of Appeals yesterday affirmed a jury's take-nothing jury verdict after Hurricane Harbor in Arlington was sued by the mother of a kid who was murdered in the parking lot. The main issue was the admissibility of extraneous crimes in the area, and the judge was not kind to the Plaintiff in that regard. The briefs were great, and you can tell there was a lot of money poured into this case in order to try it. And it looks like there is a Decatur legal connection to it all, but I can't tell how much.
- The head coach for the Evil Empire took a shot at Texas Tech.
- Lauren Whitener Clock: 6 years and 323 days.
