1. Trump jokes about trying to "redo" huge Luka Dončić trade in Dallas speech: "I must tell you, I don't understand the trade" (cbsnews.com) — President Trump used his speech at the Republican midterm convention in Dallas to joke about the blockbuster trade that sent Luka Dončić from the Mavericks to the Lakers, calling it one of the worst in sports history. Speaking at the American Airlines Center, he riffed on deals and sports before returning to topics like oil, Iran, immigration, and the economy, drawing in many local Mavericks fans.
2. LIVE: Trump addresses Republican convention (statenews.net) — Dallas is hosting the Republican Party's first-ever midterm convention at the American Airlines Center, drawing thousands of officials, donors, and activists from across the country. President Trump and other GOP leaders are using the two-day gathering to spotlight issues like immigration, taxes, crime, and healthcare as they rally support ahead of November's congressional elections.
3. Will High-Tech Gondolas Come to Dallas-Fort Worth? (knue.com) — Imagine skipping Dallas traffic by gliding over it in autonomous gondolas—regional planners and a company called Swyft Cities have been exploring that possibility for the Dallas–Fort Worth area. The concept promises lower emissions, potentially lower costs, and sleek cabins, though plans remain exploratory while North Texas cities identify their most congested corridors.
4. "We'll call it Trump Strait; Iranian leadership will be thrilled": US President Donald Trump (statenews.net subscription) — Donald Trump used a Republican midterm convention speech in Dallas to float renaming the Strait of Hormuz the "Trump Strait" and to insist the U.S. is winning its war with Iran. He vowed Iran would never obtain a nuclear weapon, touted U.S. oil and gas production, and highlighted a new Venezuela oil deal, framing energy dominance as central to his agenda.
