Tonight’s Yankees-White Sox game (Wednesday, June 7) is rescheduled because of poor air quality due to smoke from the Canadian wildfires and will be made up tomorrow, Thursday, June 8, as the first game of a single-admission doubleheader, which will begin at 4:05pm.

A terrific report. Told like the murder mystery it is, with the backdrop of Cold War intrigue.
Quote Tweet
In 1948, CBS News correspondent George Polk was murdered.
The killing shocked the world. What happened after still shocks, 75 years later.
Now @CBSNews returns to the scene of the crime and the subsequent coverup.
Hear it here:

It was so egregious that I took a screenshot of it.
None of these cases are real.
Be warned.

Warning to anyone contemplating the wonders of AI — the same thing happened when I asked Google’s Bard to explain how speed cameras don’t violate 6th Amendment right to confront your accusers.
It spit out 3 US Court of Appeals cases that did not exist.

I feel his pain. Our family pronounces our name different ways too.

How do you say "DeSantis"?
Is it DE-santis or deh-SANTIS?
The candidate continues to waver, himself.
His pronounciation of his own name varies across campaign ads (DE-), his two gubernatorial inaugural oaths (deh-) and a fundraising appeal he made on TV just last night (deh-).
Striking how Putin is adopting Trump's perceived enemies as his own. The new Russian sanctions list includes people Trump considers adversaries like Letitia James, Brad Raffensperger and the officer who shot Ashli Babbitt even though none has anything to do with Russia policy.

Good piece by on how a move by some automakers to take away drivers’ access to valued stations has united Democrats, Republicans, immigrant rights activists, Black station owners, religious groups, FEMA leaders …
It’s because +80 mil Americans tune to AM each month.

Through president after president after president, Greg Hinds has been an invaluable part of the WHCA dinner. He’s expertly navigated an insanely crowded ballroom, waited on presidents & vice presidents, and now is the Banquet Captain. We thank you friend.

Without alerting it - the White House has quietly corrected KJP's inaccurate claim aboard AF1 yesterday that President Biden has taken more questions than Presidents Trump and Obama combined – correcting the official transcript of her remarks.

NEW: Program trustees say Social Security has just 10 more years of solvency, with the trust fund due to be depleted in 2033.
Medicare solvency extends through 2031, three years later than previous estimate, due to an expected reduction in health care use.

New poll neatly captures the paradox of budget politics. Americans say abstractly the government should cut spending, but show them the list of things it actually spends money on and they say nice, spend more on that.
