@BaileyAJohnson_ I almost never post here but I think you should know how much I enjoyed your Caps coverage. You had big shoes to fill and did it admirably. Canceled my Post subscription when they killed sports. You and your colleagues deserved much better

With my newfound free time, I brought home foster dog Earl last night. He made himself at home right away and I can’t wait to help this gentle, sweet angel find his forever home

Not a lie in sight.

Sarah Ferris@sarahnferris

Not an overstatement to say House R and Dem appropriators pulled off something of a miracle in getting this minibus passed. People were seriously talking about a yearlong CR for these agencies just a few weeks ago. One member joked that Approps is literally saving Congress.

Happy Baseball Trade Deadline day to all who celebrate! Along with Draft Day (thank you Kevin Costner) it’s one of the best nerdy days of the year… Remember Wilmer Flores Day? Cespedes? How can you not be romantic about baseball? Let’s go Mets! #LGM

Absolutely remarkable.

Governor Josh Shapiro@GovernorShapiro

They said it couldn’t be done. There was a pessimism in the air — one that’s lingered over our Commonwealth for too long. Today, we proved them wrong. 12 Days. I-95 is open.

I confess I don't fully grasp the science of turning data into music but this is a lovely way to imagine what is happening at the boundary of the solar system

If you're into sports, loss and redemption, I cannot recommend this story enough. (Also the cameo of KD being an absolute class act is cool to see)

2/2 the right's intellectual energy. Screeds about wokeness instead of a commitment to develop an aerospace and engineering workforce that can grow the economy and distribute the benefits of space exploration beyond the economies of Houston, southern Cal and central FL.

1/2: This is both comedy and tragedy. Comedy in that Senate Dems/Biden will never allow these kinds of cuts so it's silly to think they'd become law, but tragedy in that this is the sum total of...

NASA Watch@NASAWatch

Some former Trump people like Russell Vought are running around saying @NASA is "woke" so its OK to cut the #NASA science budget by 50% to find the money to do the things that they wanted to do with social security or Medicare money - but can't . See: americarenewing.com/wp-content/upl…

VERY good news this morning!

It's official. I'm running for reelection. Montanans need a fighter that will hold our government accountable and demand Washington stand up for veterans and lower costs for families. I will always fight to defend our Montana values. Let's get to work.

Funny how when you end a pandemic, maintain record low unemployment and make historic new investments in infrastructure and domestic manufacturing you...win elections.

Lakshya Jain@lxeagle17

Quite the night for Democrats today in special elections. - In New Hampshire, a Hassan +9 seat is D+11. - In Kentucky, a Biden +31 state senate seat is D+54 - In #VA04, they're on track to win a Biden +36 seat by 45. Wow.

Spare a thought for all the House LDs who have never gone through a vote sequence like this before…

House is about to begin a series of 24 consecutive roll call votes on a bill dealing with oil and gas production on federal land. This is what some GOPers demanded from McCarthy: more votes on more amendments. This is the first such lengthy vote series since McCarthy became Spkr
