- Ben Mezrich: "A girl who I'd gone to college with said, I want you to meet a group of friends of mine. And they were hanging out at this bar, and I went there and they had all this money, and it was $100 bills. And you never saw $100 bills in Boston at the time. They just nobody had $100 bills. I mean, in New York you have $100 bills. In DC you probably have hundred dollar bills. But in Boston there was none of them. And so I couldn't figure out why. And they invited me to Vegas. So I essentially started going with the MIT blackjack team every weekend to Vegas. And I was blown away. This is the best story I'd ever seen. It just happened to be a real thing and not one of the fiction I had been writing. So I ended up writing that as my first nonfiction."

- Andy Burnham pledged to bring stability back to British politics as he delivered his first address as prime minister, becoming the United Kingdom's seventh leader in a decade.
"I know people at home are fed up with politics," he said outside No. 10 Downing Street. "I hear you, and I want to be honest with you: We have not been good enough, and we need to be better. We will be."
The new prime minister called it a "circuit breaker" moment for Britain and pledged the "biggest changes" for the country in 40 years: "a new political model and a new economic model."
He criticized Britain's leadership during the 1980s — an era dominated by Prime Minister Margaret Thatcher — saying it centralized political power, privatized economic power and deindustrialized much of the country.
"Many feel as though they're still in decline, and they don't have the ability to turn things around," he said.

- Keir Starmer delivered his final address as prime minister on Monday before traveling to Buckingham Palace to formally tender his resignation to King Charles III, capping a little more than two years in office.
"My work is done," he said outside No. 10 Downing Street. "It has been the privilege of my life to serve you and this great country as prime minister, and I am confident that Britain is now stronger and fairer than it was two years ago."
Mr. Starmer, a lawyer and former crown prosecutor, was first elected to Parliament in 2015 and replaced Jeremy Corbyn as Labour Party leader in 2020 following the party's worst electoral showing since 1935.
After moving Labour toward the center, he rode into Downing Street on the heels of the party's sweeping victory in July 2024, which ended 14 years of Conservative Party rule.
But his standing took a hit over his appointment of Peter Mandelson as British ambassador to the U.S., whom he la...

- Sens. John Cornyn (R-TX) and Bill Cassidy (R-LA), two Republicans who recently lost their reelection bids to Trump-backed challengers, said they disagreed with President Trump's decision to deliver a primetime address on election integrity.
Speaking Friday at the Aspen Security Forum in Colorado, Sen. Cornyn said the president's speech revealed little new information and provided no evidence that the outcome of any election would have been different.
"We've known that our adversaries have been trying to influence our elections for a long time," the Intelligence Committee member said. "But the bottom line is, none of this would have changed the outcome, so I don't really — I guess I don't get it."
Sen. Cassidy said Republicans should focus on Americans' concerns ahead of the midterm elections rather than relitigating the past.

- Rep. Joseph Morelle (NY), the top Democrat on the House panel that oversees federal elections, sharply criticized President Trump's primetime address Thursday night on election integrity.
"It's the rantings of a pathetic, unserious person," he told C-SPAN following the address. "The president knows virtually nothing about the American election system."
Rep. Morelle, the ranking member of the Administration Committee, argued the president was using claims of "shocking vulnerabilities" in the U.S. election system as a pretext to challenge the results of the November midterm elections.
"This is a pretext for the president, I think, calling into dispute the 2026 elections," he said. "That is what he's trying to do, sow so much confusion about it that he can use extraordinary powers to try to take the vote away from the American people. Why? Because I think he fears the verdict of the American people."

- President Trump renewed his call Thursday night for Congress to pass the SAVE America Act, his elections bill that would require proof of citizenship to register to vote, photo ID to cast a ballot and significantly restrict mail-in voting, among other provisions.
"Most importantly, addressing this crisis of election security demands that Congress must pass the SAVE America Act!" he said during his primetime address alleging America's elections are vulnerable to foreign interference.
"How easy is that to do unless you want to cheat? The only reason you wouldn't do it is you want to cheat because your policies are so bad and your candidates are so pathetic that you can't get away or can't get elected any other way."

- President Trump announced Thursday night that he is declassifying intelligence he claims reveals "shocking vulnerabilities" in the U.S. election system, leaving it exposed to hacking and foreign interference.
"This evidence shows that the election system we have dangerously exposes and really exposes like levels never thought possible to hacking, exploitation and foreign interference," he said. "Just as disturbingly, this vital information for many years has been covered up and hidden from you, the American people, our beautiful, our great American people. But that all changes right now."

- Description
- Sen. Thom Tillis (R-NC) on Thursday railed against efforts to pass and implement the SAVE America Act before the November midterms, arguing it would be impossible to carry out in time and would only undermine confidence in American elections.
"If I see a reconciliation bill come from the House with another failed attempt to confuse this election, I will use every device I have available to slow down the wheels of government until people cop a clue and do the math," he said on the Senate floor.
The retiring senator said he supports voter ID laws and helped implement them in North Carolina but argued the various versions of the SAVE Act floated over the past year are "fundamentally flawed" and have no chance of being properly implemented before November.
"I have been trying to explain for nearly a year that the SAVE Act, whether it's the SAVE Act, the SAVE America Act, the new SAVE legislation that's being proposed in the House, SAVE goes to Holl...

- House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries (D-NY) accused President Trump of trying to "steal" the November midterms ahead of his primetime address Thursday, which is expected to focus on the integrity of U.S. elections.
"In advance of Donald Trump's speech, let me also be clear about one thing: Donald Trump lost the 2020 presidential election," he told reporters. "Something's really wrong with this guy. I think he actually needs to be checked out. Why does he continue to focus on a conspiracy theory related to a 2020 presidential election that every rational person in the United States of America knows he lost?"
Rep. Jeffries said nothing the president says about elections will have "any merit," calling him the "conspirator in chief" who is "fanning the flames of conspiracy theories."
"We're committed to making sure there's a free and fair election," he said. "And we will have the largest voter-protection effort in the history of the country, becau...

- White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt said President Trump's longtime teleprompter operator, Gabriel Perez, has been placed on administrative leave amid a Commodity Futures Trading Commission (CFTC) investigation into whether he used insider information to place bets tied to the president's speeches.
"He believes it's deeply unfortunate and frankly a disgrace," Ms. Leavitt said of President Trump at a press briefing. "And the individual that was cited in that report is complying with the CFTC but has been put on [un]paid administrative leave. There will be a teleprompter operator tonight, of course, but it will not be the one unfortunately in that story."
Kalshi, the prediction market platform, flagged Mr. Perez's trades as suspicious, froze the funds in his account and referred the matter to the CFTC.

"I think all Americans — Democrat, Republican — should agree that we are the greatest country in the history of the world. We should have the safest and most secure elections in the history of the world," she said. "And what the president will be speaking about tonight will show you that perhaps that is not the case, and we need to make some adjustments moving forward, including the SAVE America Act."
Ms. Leavitt was responding to a question about why President Trump has been unable to move on from his loss to Joe Biden in the 2020 election.

- White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt said President Trump's primetime address Thursday night will focus on ensuring "safe and secure elections," without providing many other details.
"I've seen a lot of reporting, and frankly, misreporting about what the president will say," she told reporters. "I think the American people will be relieved to hear what they are hearing from the president of the United States and his commitment to transparency and the focus on the integrity of our elections tonight."
Ms. Leavitt said Republicans and Democrats alike should recognize election integrity as a nonpartisan issue.
"If we don't have safe and secure elections in our country, we cannot have a country," she said. "It is a vital part of our democracy, our constitutional republic. The president will be speaking about that tonight."

- Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer (D-NY) accused President Trump of trying to subvert the midterm elections as he offered a preemptive response to the president's primetime address Thursday night.
"Trump's primetime speech tonight isn't simply about relitigating his overwhelming defeat in the 2020 election," Sen. Schumer said. "It's about undermining the 2026 election before a single vote has been cast."
The White House has offered few details about what the speech will cover, but President Trump suggested Tuesday the focus will be on "free and fair elections."
"Thursday is, it doesn't get bigger because without free and fair elections, you don't have a country," President Trump said in the Oval Office Tuesday. "We'll be discussing other things too. But it's going to be a very big announcement."
