Everyone is focusing on the "early stages" remark, but the telling word he used was "we're.". If this were any other administration, the FBI would be acting independently of the executive branch.
JD Vance: "We're in the very early stages of an ongoing investigation into John Bolton . if we think Ambassador Bolton committed a crime, of course eventually prosecutions will come . there's a broad concern about Ambassador Bolton."

The last time the Super Bowl began before 6 p.m. Eastern was 1990, when Super Bowl XXIV kicked off around 5:30 p.m. Eastern.

Dan has a smart response, as always, but I don't see this happening for one big reason: time zone difference. London is five hours ahead of the East Coast, so for the Super Bowl to kickoff at 6:30 p.m. Eastern, it would have to begin at 11:30 p.m. London time.
What are your thoughts on a potential London Super Bowl in the near future?🤔⬇️

Apple TV+ just increased it's monthly fee by $3 – now it's $12.99 a month. It was $6.99 a month less than two years ago. The Phillies have one final game on Apple + this season: Aug. 29 against the Atlanta Braves.

As part of my look at ESPN's new direct-to-consumer service, I calculated what it would cost Philly sports fans to stream every game, based on current prices. Maybe cable TV wasn't that bad of a deal.
