@SarahKarlin @chrismeekins @NateWeixel It’s three! And technically might be two because Takeda could be exempt for MFP reasons very soon, according to someone i was chatting with.

Scoop: Jim Justice staffer Paul Hardesty is registered to lobby the West Virginia state legislature for tobacco giant Altria while on the GOP senator's payroll — the second such case reported by @politico this week.

the “grindr crashing at the RNC” joke is so hack and offensive

but worst of all it doesn’t even make any sense like if the app can survive kylie minogue at MSG i guarantee it’s doing perfectly fine in dallas

I wanted to know how much EPA spent on admin leave after 1000s were paid not to work, often for months

So I filed a #FOIA —> EPA denied me —> I appealed —> I won

And EPA spent almost $200M on leave

Many never returned to work

SCOOP: James Talarico is in town — and he's headed to K Street. Talarico had his first fundraiser since the runoff at bipartisan lobbying firm FTP this afternoon, I'm told. Comes after Paxton held a K Street fundraiser at GOP firm AxAdvocacy on Tuesday. 👀

I desperately need PR people to stop using AI when pitching their executives.

Yes, it makes them sound super compelling. But it becomes a problem when they can't actually speak to the storylines that your AI-written pitch said they could.

ICYMI: Last week, I reported RFK Jr.'s budgetary hearings gauntlet on Capitol Hill, which haven't yet been officially announced.
