Lol I hope K&S cover this. I love Krystal reading this whole saga and Saagar just cracking up at the idiocy. Even better if Emily is on
I can't take this guy seriously. He seriously is blaming Europe for the continued Russia Ukraine conflict.
Like they've had deranged takes before but this literally blame everyone else more then Russia stick is just iterating. BP has had dumbass takes this entire conflict and can't just take the L

Context
The Kennedy Center board voted to close the center Tuesday after a tense meeting in which President Donald Trump called in to berate a Democratic congresswoman who serves on the panel, according to three sources familiar with the matter.
“The closing will take place immediately, however, the Renovation and Reconstruction, which is a very large and complex job, cannot begin until such time as the D.C. Circuit rules on the Board’s approved name,” the president said on Truth Social.
Trump added that if the court ruling on the name “is a negative one, which it should not be, and is not overturned by the U.S. Supreme Court, the Reconstruction and the Renovation of The Kennedy Center will not take place.”
Why is this relevant to a renovation why not just do the renovation regardless of name change?
So I'll preface saying I have disagreed with this conflict and have been skeptical of needing it ever since I saw how Iraq went down years ago. That said the Iran conflict is the current mistake we made was not going all in? It seems like the strategy was doing air strikes on key targets and some blockading. Was this the correct approach? Would actually going all in and sending troops to establish control at least over key fields etc the way to go? It seems like if we want to do a conflict we have to be willing to actually commit everything we have and simply relying on remote strikes is not enough to move the needle so to speak?
>T-Mobile is facing some uncomfortable questions after handing federal investigators six months of a journalist’s call and text logs, roughly 10,000 records in total, using a legal tool that didn’t require a judge’s sign-off.
>Federal prosecutors are pursuing cases against around 40 people connected to that protest, and as part of the investigation, the government went after Fort’s communications using an administrative summons under 19 U.S.C. 1509, a customs-era statute normally reserved for import and duty investigations rather than domestic criminal cases. Because it’s an administrative summons rather than a warrant, no judge needs to approve it, and Fort wasn’t notified or given any chance to challenge it before her records went out the door.
Do you think this should be allowed or do you view this as improper use of the law or do you support DHS's actions? Why/Why not?
I'm thankful for this personally as Deitch aligning himself with the FKR movement etc was a bad look and Perkins seems like the most reasonable choise.

BP covered this awhile ago
>The Freedom Fuel Network made national headlines back in July when President Donald Trump praised the gas station chain for selling fuel at steeply discounted prices. A lawsuit by a Georgia-based fuel supplier alleges that some of the gas sold through the network was never paid for.
NYS arguably has the strongest standing to challenge this absurd renaming by the Trump admin. A lawsuit can stop having Google Maps etc do this dumb renaming.

Interesting take from him. I know Krystal and in particular Saagar hate Libertarian talking points but its refreshing to hear some push back and different thoughts
Mamdami releases videos talking about and fixing things such as potholes, scaffolding, and highways. These are problems that everyone agrees with and showing that there is a focus on fixing these things. Wu and even moreso Healey don't do enough to show focus on quality of life problems. I feel like if they did more videos talking about the common complaints etc and how they are addressing them it would be good for public discourse etc.
In the escalating trade dispute Trump is threatening to rename Lake Ontario to Lake America. Is this a move you support? Do you think this will hurt negotiations or bring Canada closer to a deal?
A sailor aboard USS Lincoln posted about his father being detained by ICE

Without getting into his father's status DHS responded to the sailor with this
>“Having a family member in the military is not a free pass to violate our nation’s laws,” the Department of Homeland Security said in a statement, claiming that it “does not pick and choose which laws to enforce.”
While I can understand that thought is this a wise thing to post? We do ask a lot of members of the military and stuff like this might discourage people for signing up if they are worried about their family members. Maybe either just not responding to the case saying they won't comment on individual cases or perhaps saying we will look into the matter. Isn't this kind of response though not good for military members morale?
Krystal tried doing the Trump voice today and gave up. The entire BP crew should spend a day practicing Trump voice. I feel like Ryan could probably do it well. Would love to see Saagar try.
Key parts
> Minnesota's attorney general sued the governor of Texas on Tuesday, seeking to compel the extradition of an Immigration and Customs Enforcement agent charged with wounding a man and then lying to justify the shooting during the agency's crackdown in Minneapolis.
>The lawsuit Ellison filed in U.S. District Court in Texas cites a 1987 U.S. Supreme Court ruling that compliance with the Constitution's extradition clause is mandatory, affording no discretion to the governor or courts of a state where a defendant is being held.
>Moriarty said that since Castro's arrest, Texas has extradited three unrelated criminal defendants without incident to Minnesota.
The cost of running approval polls is not cheap.
On Nate Silver he lists from Rasmussen
8/4-8/12
8/5-8/11
8/4-8/10
8/3-8/7
Even if the polls are being done to deflate polling averages it wouldn't have an impact as pollster look at pollster not # of polls. Going to two times or even one time a month would be just as effective.
