Q: I’m told that Vivek Ramaswamy left you a congratulatory phone call. Have the two of you spoken at all? Governor-elect @AmyActonOH: We can’t normalize behavior like this. It was so beyond the pale, so no, I have no intention of speaking to him. Leaders’ words matter and we need to hold folks accountable.

Is there any head coach in college football more terrified of making a mistake than P.J. Fleck?

It's time. Drake Lindsey can't play quarterback anymore. He's too petrified of a turnover to even throw the ball downfield.

Hard to believe that Republicans got shellacked when Trump continues to focus on the problems of everyday Americans.

It's telling that the Trump administration lacks the self-awareness to realize how insane Stephen Miller comes across any time he is on camera

Stephen Miller: This whole period that happened after World War II where the West began apologizing and groveling and begging— Host: I don't even know what you're talking about right now. I asked you if there would be an election in Venezuela.

Is Chuck Schumer exciting? No. Does he take risks? Of course not. But do his experience and acumen make him EXACTLY the man democrats need to most effectively wield this unprecedented mandate? Jesus christ, no

Amy Acton is leaving Vivek on read. Most Republicans I spoke to in Ohio, including those at his own watch party, thought his ad crossed the line.

The New Yorker reached out to Haley Stevens for an interview. She asked them if they were the FBI. Full Story: bit.ly/4ezDFWn
Screenshot of a New Yorker passage: Earlier today, we published a story about the fallout from a decision by Representative Haley Stevens to endorse the Republican U.S. Senate candidate in Michigan. After multiple interview requests went unanswered, we reached out to Stevens again on Tuesday in a text message asking to talk and identifying The New Yorker by name. 'Is this FBI,' she replied. (It was not.)

In his first public appearance since his party suffered crushing electoral losses, Trump is at the site of the White House ballroom, talking about the marble he ordered for the floor.

People should always be in control of the future. OpenAI is against the notion that it would be acceptable for people to be relegated to a role of doing things that “AI systems think makes sense to reward in humans”. People should not cede control of the future to superintelligence, and that requirement should ultimately constrain AI progress.
