Donald Trump shattered long-held political norms when Republicans elected him twice despite scandals that would have sunk most candidates. Maine Senate candidate Graham Platner is testing whether Democrats are willing to play by the same rules. Why it matters: The answer will show whether voters' tolerance for scandal — long thought to be a Trump-only phenomenon — is hardening into a broader feature of American politics. Driving the news: Platner suffered the latest in a string of setbacks when the Wall Street Journal and New York Times reported he exchanged sexually explicit texts with at least a half-dozen women while married. - His wife discovered the messages and reported them to the campaign during its vetting process. -…

The latest U.S. push for a ceasefire in Lebanon has fizzled just as Israel is expanding its ground invasion and seeking a U.S. green light to conduct massive strikes on Hezbollah targets in Beirut, sources tell Axios. Why it matters: The U.S. has urged Israel against striking Beirut for several weeks as part of a broader deescalation push, but a U.S. official hinted that position could soften. "The U.S. does not expect Israel to absorb ongoing attacks on its civilians by a terrorist organization," the official told Axios.

Driving the news: Nvidia says it trained Cosmos 3 on 20 trillion tokens of multimodal data, including nearly a billion images, 400 million real and synthetic videos, ambient audio, text and action data from humans and robots. - That action data is what makes Cosmos different from a regular video generator. It's meant to model how machines move, not just how scenes look, Ming-Yu Liu, VP of Nvidia's…
