Mike Norvell says this is the second straight year FSU has lost a game on a late call with this officiating crew.
Said he thought the Duce pass should have been a TD because of simultaneous possession.
Also didn’t like the holding call on play before:
“Go watch the film.”

This was deemed a holding penalty on Florida State’s first 4th down touchdown.
Absolute disgrace to the sport. xitter.cf/TonyCMKE/status/211165…

While politicians preach isolationism, global sports are quietly rewiring the world.

$1.5 trillion defense budget. Anduril and Palantir mobbed at AUSA. Code Pink crashing Hegseth four times. Kevin Baron just walked the floor and says it's the biggest gold rush he's seen in 25 years covering the Pentagon.

Meloni: I do not miss the Russian tanks in Prague and Budapest. I do not miss the Berlin Wall.
If Ukraine stopped defending itself tomorrow, Russia would occupy a European nation and Soviet-style imperialism would return.
Surrender is not peace. It is conquest. 1/

Formula 1 has announced a landmark 10-year agreement to bring the FIA Formula One World Championship back to Africa, with the Formula 1 African Grand Prix, presented by @visitrwanda_now, set to join the calendar in the early 2030s.
The agreement marks the sport’s return to the continent for the first time since 1993.

Another way to think about Trump announcement today: If he increased US diesel imports from Canada by 4%, he would gain as much fuel as from this Russia deal. But the Canadians are global super-villains, so who wants to buy from them when you could enrich Putin instead?

This is absolutely wild per Status — ABC News completely retracted this story like two days ago just totally nuked it. No note, no explanation , no comment. It had been shared by tons of top lawmakers and democratic officials.

A self-portrait taken on the set of FULL METAL JACKET using my Rolleiflex's self-timer in 1986.
Although never spoken in the film, Private Joker's real name is J.T. Davis (as seen on the back of his PT sweats). He was named after Specialist James T. Davis, the first U.S. casualty of the Vietnam War. He was killed in action on December 22, 1961.

Scooplet: What Happened to $300 Million in Taiwan Aid? It’s Classified.
The Trump admin has classified its account to Congress for $300M in Taiwan military aid, leaving no public answer about whether the money was committed by a Sept. 30 deadline.

Seems very problematic for one cabinet Secretary to only extend the day off to only one sector of federal employees.

🗣️ Vowles interrupts another question in the press conference to show his support for the job Vasseur's doing at Ferrari:
"Normally, we beat each other up and put knives in our backs. But Ferrari is in the best place it's been in the championship for a while. They have innovation on the car this year with the rear wing and exhaust blowing. That we've all copied as a result of it. It's a team that's doing brilliantly.
So, for me personally, there is no question that Fred is the right person to do this."

BREAKING WSJ:
The Trump Justice Department is reviewing whether the special prosecutor's office that investigated Watergate committed misconduct.
A revisionist historian went to DOJ HQ to present his case that Richard Nixon and his associates weren't treated fairly. wsj.com/us-news/law/decades-…

It just dawned on me that Hegseth is describing the mission of the Office of Net Assessment, which he effectively killed last year.
.@SECWAR “Project Meridian—the future of warfare—is not about developing new strategies or policies.
Rather, its purpose is to creatively look into the future and identify the domains we must conquer—and capabilities we must master... to achieve technological and military dominance on the battlefield for decades to come.”

Significant statement by a serious and effective Ambassador. @USAmbChina
ALT Back in April of last year, China put the export regime process in place for rare earth elements and magnets. Then, on October 9th, they weaponized that by expanding that to the entire world. Now, they've weaponized it even further by escalating to the point where they make any diversification effort away from China a criminal offense, where they can arrest people, prosecute criminally, seize assets, exit ban, and so forth. 去年4月份时，中国针对稀土元素和磁体推出了出口许可制度。到了10月9日，中国进一步将此武器化，扩张到整个世界范围。现如今，中国加大了武器化的程度，将事态再一次升级，规定任何为多元经营而离开中国的操作均属违法，中国可以逮捕人员，将其起诉，扣押其资产，限制其出境等。

.@USAmbChina 's post 👇 confirms that the Trump-Xi summit's friendly optics didn't move Xi into giving an inch on China's stranglehold on the rare earths supply chain. Beijing will flick the "off" switch on crit min exports as it pleases until the U.S. secures alternate sources
ALT This is a single-source dominant position that China is weaponizing against the world right now. We have told them this is unacceptable. We are not going to live in a world where we have to go to China and kowtow to do business the way we want. 中国将其作为某些材料的单一来源所产生的宰制性地位武器化并以此针对全世界。我们已经告诉他们这是不可接受的。我们不会让自己活在一个必须去到中国卑躬屈膝才能以自己的方式经商的世界。
