[Select Committee on China @ChinaSelect]

Alysa Liu’s gold medal-winning skating captured the hearts of the world at the 2026 Winter Olympics.

Behind the skating lies an amazing backstory: Alysa’s father, Arthur Liu, fled China at the age of 25 in the wake of the 1989 Tiananmen Square Massacre. Arthur was at the Tiananmen Square protests and will join the Select Committee for a bipartisan press conference TOMORROW June 4 at 8:00AM at the House Triangle.

The GOP is in way more trouble in November than MAGA partisans want to admit. And I'd rather be in the position of bracing myself for a tsunami that doesn't quite hit than being taken by complete surprise.

@RobGeorge Pardon?

[Noah Rothman @NoahCRothman]

Awful. And not consequence free. The Gulf states only gravitated toward the U.S. because the U.S. was the regional power actively defending their interests. If he’s not going to hold up his end of that bargain, why should they?

Confirming reporting by @igorbobic. Platner is leaving DC, canceling NY events, and heading back to Maine after NY Post showed up at his mom’s restaurant and at his mother in law’s house, per a source familiar.

NEW: DOJ is investigating former congressman George Santos for insider trading on Kalshi

NEW: Mamdani-backed congressional candidate Darializa Avila Chevalier deleted posts and reposts calling for abolishing police, prisons and borders, seizing private property, nationalizing industries, and one declaring, “Israel doesn’t exist!”

[AG @AGHamilton29]

The entire news org is a giant front for terrorist propaganda. Last week they promoted a kill list with 100K bounties on random Israelis. It’s insane it isn’t under DoJ investigation.

"But as my father taught me when I was young, walking past a problem is an endorsement of it, and the new boundaries of what is tolerated by a movement become the new definitions of what is welcomed within it." - @mikenelson586

A must-read. Link in next post

@JayCaruso And the WFP declined to endorse the incumbent Espaillat because of his not being hard enough on Israel.

[Ken Girardin @PolicyEngineer]

Espaillat toed the line for organized labor (long WFP's lifeblood) for his entire career in Albany and DC. I can't remember a time he said "no" to a union. For the party of "working families" to make Israel a litmus test vs a sitting rep marks a turning point in NY politics.

This is stunning.
Personal savings rate April 2025: 5.5%
Personal savings rate April 2026: 2.6%

That's a sharp plunge.
It underscores how squeezed Americans are right now with higher prices and incomes not keeping up.
Maybe you can explain some of this away by Baby Boomers retiring, but not all of it.

Anti-Semites now want Jews to erase themselves from society. My message to fellow Jews: visibility is victory. https://t.co/gDyA1YvZmw

If a leading GOP congressional candidate had been a part of an Al-Qaida-linked organization and testified on behalf of the 1993 WTC bombing’s main conspirator, it would be the only story in America. Yet, Democratic frontrunner Adam Hamawy did and there are crickets. Hell of a scoop by @JewishInsider’s @WillBredderman https://t.co/9cX2wmqzw6

“accidentally”

@henryolsenEPPC Sherry can still win if Mike Pence had the courage

[Legal Phil @Legal_Fil]

This is a legitimately insane conversation.

[Caitlin Huey-Burns @CHueyBurns]

This is really lovely, and I hope my kids feel this way about me one day: https://t.co/xppmusFESn
