Glad @POTUS is holding an event at the Brent @SpenceBridge today. Worth remembering that today's event is only possible because 10 senators, led by @senrobportman & @SenatorSinema, began a process to build a framework from the middle out focused on core infrastructure priorities.

Boy, I woke up just after 6am this morning to watch tennis and have been thoroughly entertained the last 13 hours, that was one of the best days at a slam I can remember.

You had six 5 setters, Nakashima-FAA went 4 hours, Gauff-Potapova, Keys-Mboko, Osaka-Jovic thrillers. Insane day.

@nickdaschel Appreciate your longtime coverage of #OSU, Nick. Enjoyed reading your work and insights. #GoBeavs

“When we were first invited to Milan for the Olympics, we said no. It felt like more than we could handle. But we kept thinking about what John and Matty would say if they knew we turned it down. We knew the answer.

John loved representing his country. From the time he was little, he dreamed of competing at the Olympics. In that final summer, he was working harder than ever, pushing himself with everything he had to earn a spot on that roster. He was going to be there.

Sitting with that knowledge while watching these Games was not easy — but being present for them, surrounded by people who truly cared about John and Matty, made it something we will always treasure.

Every person we encountered took the time to ask about the boys — who they were, what they meant to us, the kind of people they were away from the ice.

What struck us most was realizing that John and Matty's impact reaches so much further than we sometimes see in our own grief.

They are carried by so many people — in locker rooms, in conversations, in quiet moments we will never even know about. That means everything to us.

And then Team USA won gold. When Zach, Auston, and Matthew carried John's jersey around that ice, we were overwhelmed — they made sure he was there. And then to see Noa and Johnny — on Johnny's second birthday — carried out onto the ice to be part of that gold medal photo — there are no words for what that felt like.

John and Matty should have been there, and in that moment, they were.

Thank you to every member of that team for loving John & Matty - and for making sure they were part of something historic. And thank you to everyone at @NBCOlympics and @usahockey for your kindness, your generosity, and for bringing our family to Milan to witness it.

You gave us a gift we didn't know we needed.

With love and gratitude,
The Gaudreau Family"

Dax Whitney chucking 100 and striking out 17 tonight is disgusting

@pw_cunningham Very sorry to hear this Paige. Have enjoyed reading your work now and will in the future. You and your colleagues deserve better.

I never want to see journalists go through what is happening at the Washington Post. Consider this — if it wasn’t for the Post, Dan Snyder would still own the #Commanders

[Kevin Smith @KG_Smith]

@grantpaulsen Ref warned him. He ignored him and kept heading toward the #Rams sideline to talk more trash. Not very smart.

[Kevin Smith @KG_Smith]

Looks like the @HoustonTexans defense may have to beat Maye and Stroud to win this game #AFC #NFL #NFLPlayoffs

BREAKING: Star outfielder Kyle Tucker and the Los Angeles Dodgers are in agreement on a free agent contract, sources tell ESPN.

[Kevin Smith @KG_Smith]

@JPFinlayNBCS Top priority must be protecting their top 8 pick. Will be a disastrous if they lose that over a player few, if anyone, wanted.

LOOK WHAT MY STARTING PITCHER JUST DID

[Kevin Smith @KG_Smith]

Incredible.

[Colt Knost @ColtKnost]

Scottie Scheffler is 0-4 to start the Ryder Cup. Have to tip your cap to the Europeans! Scottie’s matches took place over 66 holes in two days. The Europeans were 32 under par against him and his partners. Wow!

[Los Angeles Dodgers @Dodgers]

Clayton Kershaw, forever a legend.

[Kevin Smith @KG_Smith]

@paulsen_smw A true legend. Enjoyed his broadcasting career since the early days of ESPN.

[Kevin Smith @KG_Smith]

@Mike_kim714 Awesome to see your improvement this year and can’t wait to see what is to come next year!

[Kevin Smith @KG_Smith]

@CincyTennis Great idea @CincyTennis! @atptour & @WTA please do more of this type of engagement with fans!
