A U.S. senator just made ESPN's Top 10.
Missouri @Eric_Schmitt laid out near the left field foul line during the Congressional Baseball Game, never taking his eyes off a drifting fly ball before hauling in a diving catch.
Schmitt got up with his nose bleeding, fired the ball back to the infield, and had Nationals Park on its feet.
But his baseball history — and that specific glove — takes him all the way back to his high school days and a $40 restring at Play It Again Sports, he tells the @RuthlessPodcast.
To his own disbelief, the catch landed at No. 5 on SportsCenter's Top 10 plays as Republicans rolled to an 11-2 win over Democrats — their sixth straight victory in the annual charity game. | @HolmesJosh@MichaelDuncan

Nigeria meets 102% of OPEC Quota as Production Hits 11-Month High
Nigeria’s oil production witnessed an upswing in May 2026, averaging 1,530,354 barrels of crude oil and 170,446 barrels of condensates per day, bringing the total combined production to 1, 700, 800 barrels per day and consolidating Nigeria’s position as Africa’s largest oil producer.
The average crude oil production recorded during the month of May represents 102% of Nigeria’s 1.5mbpd of production quota allocated by the Organisation of the Petroleum Exporting Countries (OPEC).
Production performance during the review period remained robust, with combined crude oil and condensate output ranging between a low of 1.51 million bpd and a peak of 1.86 million bpd.
The May 2026 production figures represent the highest recorded by Nigeria since July 2025 when output surged to 1,712,282
In strict crude oil terms (excluding condensates), the 1.53 million barrels recorded in May 2026 represents the highest Nigeria has witnessed since January 2025 when crude oil production hit 1.538mbpd.
The latest crude oil production statistics thus represents a 15-month high
On a month on month basis, production rose by 2.77% in May 2026 as against 1.48mbpd in April.
The broader production trend over the last five months has also remained positive. Combined crude oil and condensate output increased from 1.48 million bpd in February to 1.54 million bpd in March, 1.66 million bpd in April, and then 1.7 million bpd in May, underscoring sustained growth in Nigeria’s hydrocarbon production levels.
Among production streams, Bonny Terminal led the pack with a total blend of 293,870 bpd, closely followed by Forcados Terminal at 289,900 bpd. Qua Iboe ranked third with 173,360 bpd, while Escravos Oil Terminal contributed 135,470 bpd.
Odudu (Amenam Blend) completed the top five production streams, accounting for 63,250 bpd during the month under review.
The NUPRC attributes the rise in production to a sustained positive momentum as operations remained stable throughout the reporting period with no significant pipeline or facility outages recorded.
Additionally, all previously scheduled turnaround maintenance activities had been successfully completed, contributing to improved operational reliability and production efficiency.

Lately been sitting next to a guy on my train journey. Every morning he opens up his laptop, fires up VS Code and for the entirety of the 45min journey, writes lines and lines of code by hand. No autocomplete, no AI. Every line typed out by hand.
If this all turns out to have been a mistake, this guy is going to end up a trillionaire when everyone else’s skill has atrophied and he’s the only one left who can write code
Nigeria’s parliament passed a constitutional bill on Thursday paving the way for each of its 36 states to establish and run its own police force alongside the federal Nigeria Police Force, a long-debated reform aimed at tackling worsening insecurity. https://t.co/S74KapGNOG
"We brought the war to them. Yesterday, we were lucky. The kidnappers have been coming in from this area. We got proper intelligence, we activated it, and we came here waiting for them. Luck ran out on them; we neutralised some, apprehended some, and the victims were liberated." — Ahmed Sanusi, FCT police commissioner, speaks on the rescue operation in Byazhin
BREAKING: Reps pass state police bill
The house of representatives has passed the constitutional amendment bill seeking to establish state police.
Lawmakers voted and passed the bill during Thursday’s plenary.
This is much needed progress. The states must expedite this process and allocate a substantial portion of their increased revenue to fund its implementation.
BREAKING: The House of Representatives has passed constitutional amendments to establish state police in Nigeria and has postponed other constitutional amendments to another legislative session.
