To give you a sense of how sensitive Alberta’s provincial budget is to global oil prices:

At the current 1-year forward strip for crude oil, Alberta’s budget would go from a $9B deficit to an **$8B SURPLUS**

As Status noted in this excellent report tonight, I was told a few days ago that Bari Weiss has her own designated Mamdani reporter at CBS News -- who has posted dozens of Instagram stories on the NYC mayor in the past month.

Here's the Karoline Leavitt interview people are talking about.

Maria Bartiromo asks if Trump might send ground troops into Iran, because "mothers are worried" about a draft. Leavitt replies that ground troops aren't in the current plan, but Trump won't rule them out. No mention of the draft.
