In a closed door White House meeting with Texas Republican House Reps last week, Steven Miller started off by asking if Texas had a "RINO problem" which led to some awkward silence. At one point, @charliegeren left the meeting seemingly frustrated over the "RINO" talk.

Lindsey Graham on Kharg Island: "We did Iwo Jima. We can do this."



New: The Williamson County GOP @WilcoGOP is returning to countywide polling for the May primary runoff, telling Republican supporters in an email that “we heard your feedback, your frustrations and your anger.” “One vote lost is too many,” the email says. #txlege



One of the things making the Trump coalition notoriously prone to horrifyingly bad midterms: it consists of virtually everyone who doesn't care about politics. So it's not just a persuasion penalty they pay — the turnout one is worse too. (with @geoffreyvs + @ddhq podcast).

A second memo from Bari Weiss and Tom Cibrowski says CBS News Radio is shutting down. Here's the memo: Today, we informed our CBS News Radio team and approximately 700 affiliated stations that we will end the service on May 22, 2026. Unfortunately, this decision means that all positions within the CBS News Radio team are being eliminated. We understand how difficult this news is for our staff and their colleagues, who have worked side by side with us to cover some of the most significant stories of our time. While this was a necessary decision, it was not an easy one. A shift in radio station programming strategies, coupled with challenging economic realities, has made it impossible to continue the service. We are sharing this announcement now to fulfill our commitments to our radio partners and affiliates, which require advance notice of the service’s conclusion. For nearly 100 years, CBS News Radio has delivered original reporting to the nation—from Edward R. Murrow’s World War II reports in London to today’s daily White House updates. Our signature broadcast, “World News Roundup,” remains the longest-running newscast in the country. CBS News Radio served as the foundation for everything we have built since 1927. The coming weeks will be difficult for the team members who have worked tirelessly at CBS News Radio. We are committed to supporting these valued colleagues with care and respect as we wind down operations. They have been critical to our success and remain treasured friends and professionals. We thank them deeply for their contributions. Thank you all for your dedication and for the compassion you show one another as we move forward. Bari and Tom
