Look at the date on this. The Friday appropriations massacre is not a surprise.

A pair of ex-Mets named Pete lead their leagues in home runs now … Pete Crow-Armstrong has 45 (tied with Kyle Schwarber in the NL), and Pete Alonso has 41 (tied with Yordan Alvarez and Junior Caminero in the AL)

David Stearns on why the Mets held onto Luis Robert Jr.: "It's the possibility of what he can do for us in the second half. The understanding that there is a club option [$20 million], and the excitement of of still having here him here for the next two months of the season."

Pushback from the comparison between DSA insurgents and the Tea Party from @Nehlsie. Good to question conventional wisdom but I’m unconvinced - the Tea Party and HFC did have policy goals and do bend to leadership! More importantly (1/2)

The Caucus rules suck

Replying to @DrewSav
She's only the #2 House Dem on Energy and Commerce. She was the #3 last Congress until Anna Eshoo retired. The committee bottleneck is insane. A 15 term Congresswoman has no hope of being ranking member or chairing a committee.

New w/ @AlexThomp: One of the democratic socialists who recently won a congressional primary told us there are lessons that new progressive lawmakers can learn from the House Freedom Caucus. "If there's a small, even not-so-small Democratic majority, and there's a disciplined progressive voting bloc, that's power," Philadelphia's Chris Rabb said. "Even if it's just defensive power — saying, 'No, we're not voting for this, try again.' " axios.com/2026/06/29/democra…

Dems' Tea Party-like rebellion built by a decade of frustration

Some Democrats think the party is ripe for a takeover by a Trump-esque figure — as an outlet for the left's anger.

The threats made against Congress -- 15k last year alone -- are rising. To understand the problem better, @danielschuman and I interviewed US Capitol Police Chief Michael Sullivan. He was open and thoughtful and we really appreciate the opportunity
