The results in Las Vegas have taken something of a shake-up, but there was double podium for Mercedes, double points for Haas and a move into the top five for Carlos Sainz.

Terry Crews is now driving the podium trio around the track in a life-sized pink Cadillac made of LEGO
He's singing the first verse of "A Thousand Miles" and I'm pretty sure none of these guys have seen White Chicks

There were two US citizens in the car. They were apprehended and detained for “obstructing” ICE by honking their horn to let people know ICE was in the neighborhood.

Q: what is the strongest English or Irish breakfast tea you know? Not the best, the strongest. I have some round tea bags that I love but I threw out the box and cannot remember the brand. I’ve ruled out Typhoo and M&S extra strong. Barry’s and Yorkshire (both square) are ok.

So my adoptive mom threw the"well you know, your mom could've aborted you" at me today because she's tired of my "attitude". I told her "I am pro abortion to the point of being fine with having never existed." That pulled her up short. I don't play this game. With anyone. 🥚

The man in this video is an American citizen in North Carolina.
Border Patrol agents grabbed him off the street because his skin is brown and he speaks Spanish.
They cuffed him, threw him in a van, and drove him two miles away before dumping him off on the side of the road and leaving.

1/ Today, ProPublica is running a piece I've been working on for a bit. It's about what happened with a devastating wave of bird flu earlier this year, as egg prices hit record highs.
And it's a story that illuminates the ways the U.S. is failing to control what could become the next pandemic. 🧵

NEW: You've heard SCOTUS could soon upend the balance in power in Congress by gutting the VRA. But that'd also be a huge blow to Black voting power in *local* governments.
In west Tennessee, Black residents just won a new county map this year—but those gains now look very fragile.

The Supreme Court may further erode the Voting Rights Act in an upcoming decision. Beyond affecting Congress, that would reverberate across local governments nationwide.
