Trump Walks Out of NBC Interview

Trump walked out of his NBC interview with Kristen Welker after a fiery exchange, denying he ever promised “no new wars” and pivoting to unfounded claims of election fraud in California. When pressed on his lack of evidence for rigging the 2020 election, Trump grew visibly agitated, calling the network “crooked” and ending the interview abruptly — despite Welker’s attempts to continue. Ironically, both later confirmed they’d agreed to a second interview, with Trump citing rain and time as reasons for the first’s abrupt end.

Curvelo’s Injury Hits Rangers Hard

Texas Rangers pitcher Luis Curvelo suffered a brutal injury on Saturday when a comebacker struck his lower body—forcing him to be helped off the field and raising immediate concerns about his left thigh. Activated just days prior from the injured list after recovering from a shoulder strain, Curvelo’s return was already shaky, marked by a poor ERA and recent struggles. Now, with the Rangers’ bullpen already depleted—multiple relievers sidelined and none expected back soon—the team faces mounting pressure to find stability in their pitching rotation.

Texas Battles Screwworm, Election Shakeups, AI Tax Proposal

Texas and federal authorities are racing to contain a rare parasite—the New World screwworm—after its reappearance in La Pryor, the first sighting on the Texas side in 60 years. Sterile fly releases, proven effective before, are underway with a new production facility being rushed to completion to stop potential spread before summer heat intensifies. Meanwhile, Secretary of State Jane Nelson announces her departure next month, just ahead of the November elections, as she oversees critical election operations. In Congress, Senators Cruz and Cantwell are pushing bipartisan legislation to standardize college sports rules and shield the NCAA from lawsuits. And in a bold economic move, a Texas congressman proposes taxing AI tokens to fund job creation programs in infrastructure and elder care, aiming to offset potential AI-driven job losses.

Flooded Ranch, Safe Animals

Leander’s Safe in Austin Rescue Ranch took a brutal hit from Friday night’s storms—flooding their barn for the first time ever, drowning pastures, and wiping out half the property.
