Medicare for All… except if you’re seeking psychiatric treatment from Abdul El-Sayed’s wife.

I’m all in for Haley Stevens!

The far left hypocrisy claims a new member.

@KennethBaer I was a vendor from '76 to '78. Worked about 150 games. It was mostly fine, but ... you had to watch out.

@ThirdWayKessler My first Phillies game was against the Padres in '78 or '79. The only indelible image I remember was the brawling in the stands.

50 years ago today I was at the 1976 All-Star game in Philly's Vet Stadium. And I got mugged.

@KennethBaer I missed it because I was getting medical attention, as they say.

@ThirdWayKessler That Stargell throw from right field...

In this resurfaced clip from 2018 President Obama praised Haley Stevens role in the auto bailout. Retweet so everyone knows how highly Obama thinks of her.

It’s happening: @henrymcmaster will appoint Darline Graham Nordone to fill out the rest of her brother’s Senate term this year, per a Repub familiar politico.com/news/2026/07/1…

If idiocy and obstinance had a child this would be the result. tinyurl.com/9757y2hs

Lindsey Graham and I had a complicated relationship. Before Trump, we were friends. We traveled together on congressional trips around the world, including visiting Syrian refugee camps where we met children whose lives had been shattered by war. Those moments reminded us why public service mattered. After Trump, we went in very different directions, and we eventually stopped speaking. I never hid those disagreements, and I won’t rewrite that history today. But death has a way of putting things in perspective. I choose to remember the man I knew before our paths diverged—the one who cared deeply about America’s role in the world and wasn’t afraid to see suffering up close. Rest in peace, Lindsey. My prayers are with his family and all who loved him.

According to a source for the New York Post, Ro Khanna was invited to meet freed hostages and survivors of October 7th. Khanna's team didn't even bother to respond. His team was also offered an opportunity to meet with Druze civilians in the Golan Heights and a briefing on how aid is currently getting into Gaza. They didn't take it. Now, if Ro Khanna genuinely believes that aid is not properly getting into Gaza, why not go to the briefing? If he thinks Israel is lying, wouldn't that be the perfect time to get proof? But he didn't go, because those aren't his intentions. He didn't want to meet with victims of Hamas or those trying to get as much aid into Gaza as they can because they contradict his narrative. And the narrative is all that matters.

.@BernieSanders @RepRoKhanna @SenWarren backed Platner because it was good for them. In that way they are capitalists seeking to exploit an opportunity to increase their reach. When it became too inconvenient to ignore the obvious they dropped him. tinyurl.com/4p3wukre

I am just loving the Maine Democratic Party this week - some great patriots popping out of the woodwork and demonstrating a lot of competence

Yesterday on @cnn I called on @BernieSanders to apologize for forcing a Nazi-tattooed candidate on us all. I was Sanders’ Jewish Outreach Director on his 2020 campaign. The fact that the Nazi tattoo wasn’t enough to dump Platner is horrible. He owes us an apology. @JohnFetterman

Today is Ed Markey’s birthday. He’s 80. He’s running for re-election.
