Breaking news: Virginia voters approved a referendum to draw new congressional districts that could add up to four Democratic seats in the House, AP projects, giving Democrats an advantage in the national redistricting war begun by Republicans.
Astros pitching 💩
Absolutely incredible.
NASA Astronaut Reid Wiseman, who commanded Artemis II, took this footage from the far side of the Moon with his iPhone.
Watch with sound on.
Taking credit for wars he started is wild.
Bryan Abreu needs to go away. He sucks.

Vance Says the Pope Should Be More Careful When Talking About Theology
By Anton Troianovski
The vice president, who is Catholic, took issue with Pope Leo XIV’s statement that disciples of Christ are “never on the side of those who once wielded the sword and today drop bombs.
“Recent convert lectures the pope on Catholic theology” is peak follymath.
It’s especially funny that Vance clearly has more reverence and admiration for Trump than he does for the leader of his own faith.
He’s still ranting about the Pope
With 90% reporting, Tisza is leading by 16 percentage points and projected to win 138 of 199 seats — above the 2/3rds majority. Crushing defeat for Orban.
She’s the best!

Orbán's electoral crushing is a far greater achievement than most people outside Hungary realise.
He systemically consolidated power for 16 years, fixed the electoral map, abused govt power for political purposes & censored media.
The hurdles that Hungarians overcame for this moment were immense.
Breaking news: Hungarians chose to end the 16-year rule of Prime Minister Viktor Orban, darling of MAGA-aligned American conservatives, an ally of the Kremlin and a proud antagonist of European Union leaders in Brussels.
And the results…?

Impossible to disagree with a single word that Ben Rhodes (Obama era NSC official) is saying here:
New in PN: TACO Tuesday's lasting hangover
"For years, conservatives told themselves that Trump’s constant escalations were crafty gamesmanship. This barely-averted disaster in Iran cuts the knees out from under their creative fiction. Trump'’s not performing as a madman.
He’s just barking mad."
Yeah don’t think he would have given up 8 runs
This pitcher is no bueno.
watch the free youtube stream instead 🥰
Spoke with President Trump. He told me the conflict should be over in days, not weeks but if no deal is made he’s blowing up the whole country with “very little” off the table. "If happens, it happens. And if it doesn't, we're blowing up the whole country,” he said. I asked if there’s anything off limits. “Very little,” he said.
Again, I don’t see how you can read this as anything other than Trump trying to normalize the idea of using nuclear weapons

NASA just dropped this image of Artemis II astronaut Christina Koch looking back at us. The first woman to ever see our planet in its entirety. I’m not crying you’re crying 🥹🔭🧪 📸: NASA
How do they keep finding the kindest humans on Earth for Jury Duty/Company Retreat?! Anthony is the kindest soul ♥️😭
NASA released the Artemis II astronauts’ first downlinked images, 1.5 days into the first astronaut moonshot in more than half a century .
“It was the most spectacular moment, and it paused all four of us in our tracks,” commander Reid Wiseman said.
That Artemis II launch was pretty cool to watch. Also neat that the Mission Control people are across the street from my Dad.
