Last year HASC passed NDAA 58-1.
McCarthy immediately caved to extreme right, gutted the bill, included a bunch of anti-woke social policy riders & turned it into a very partisan exercise.
Maybe we hold applause until process concludes.

I’ll speak on behalf of all Philly sports Phans.
On verge of 36-14 start, these Phillies are merely preparing to break our souls.
Even 2011 Phillies didn’t start this hot.
Any recent reminders of amazing start that imploded?
Maybe a 10-1 Eagles start?

Oh yes, I remember.

'CLF is folding in Las Vegas -- at least for now.'

The Nevada Independent has a great breakdown on how House R super PAC steering clear of Vegas.
2 years ago, CLF's initial ante on 3 Dem seats: $15m.

Dems won 3-3.

Now retrenching, CLF reserved $0 in Vegas.

The never ending wars and their consequences live on.

“I don’t have to worry. Trump’s coming back to office.”
- A 1/6 defendant who allegedly fired a gun outside the Capitol.

An amazing Scott MacFarlane report on how Capitol rioters are openly thumbing noses at judges, prosecutors. Fully expecting a Trump pardon.

What % of members, R and D alike, mirror this description:

'He is completely juiced up on something. I mean, he is screaming at the camera, his eyes are wide open. I mean, he's not blinking. I mean, he looks, for all the world, like he's on some type of drug.'

Day Ending in Y Story: Senator Joe Manchin being 'encouraged' to run for another office.

Burgess Everett Manu Raju John Bresnahan how many times have we asked about WV Gov? Every 4 years?
Plus POTUS under No Labels.

Manchin just keeps getting floated for stuff.

Pairs well w Paul Kane on the dog not barking on Ukraine vote, the 1,845th example that the peril in a GOP primary isn’t over policy but entirely re: Trump

Kudos to NYT’s Kellen Browning for this smart, on-the-ground story about Montana Senate and the still confusing account Sheehy first gave to Liz Goodwin explaining two gun stories, but one bullet.
Sheehy continues to refuse to release medical records.

Despite months of fear and loathing after they backed Ukraine aid, recent Republican primaries show incumbents suffering little to no effect from their votes, via Paul Kane

Signal or noise: Republicans finding almost no punishment for supporting Ukraine despite months of fear & loathing primary voters.
13 of 13 won easily since voting for aid bill.

Two Rs (Fischer, Ricketts) got more votes than Trump.

The 2002~ Vegas Desert Storm travel baseball team for 8-9 year olds was a murderer’s row.
That team went on to produce 517 (and counting) MLB HRs, couple MVPs, a bunch of All Star appearances.

An amazing column as only Barry Svrluga can tell the tale.
