Tom Kean, who disclosed his depression diagnosis today after being absent from the chamber since March without explanation, not answering questions from reporters. Tried to asking if he should have told his constituents earlier — and if he’s running for reelection. No response

Republicans will host a midterm convention in Dallas on Sept. 9-10, according to a person familiar with the event President Donald Trump first floated last year as a way of rallying GOP voters https://t.co/odl5koakEm

Anyone watching this week still think reconciliation 3.0 is a real thing?

[Jonathan Tamari @JonathanTamari]

Prediction: there’s no way the speech only goes a half hour

[Cuneyt Dil @cuneytdil]

Scoop: Why planners are all scrambling for a shifting, potentially very late July 4 fireworks start time:

President Trump is scheduled to give a 45-minute speech on the National Mall, source tells @Axios, starting at 9:50pm.

But, "he could take a half hour, he could take" more, the official added.

"The timeline is subject to change right up until the start of the event."

High temp: 102F https://t.co/nUbm3ah17L

Sure doesn’t feel like this event is being managed with spectators in mind

[Anna Kramer @anna_c_kramer]

🚨 DC Mayor just said that the fireworks show on the Mall is not scheduled to begin until 11 PM on July 4th, later than previously publicized.

That late hour is on top of serious new restrictions: no coolers, bags, chairs, etc. And viewers have to go through metal detectors.

Per our new polling out today, the most popular politicians in America are…

Barack Obama
Bernie Sanders
Zohran Mamdani
Pete Buttigieg
Jon Ossoff
& Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez

Trump is tied with Elon Musk and Hakeem Jeffries, Schumer and Carlson in last

Need a scientific study on how long it takes to retrain muscle memory after resetting your password.

[Jonathan Tamari @JonathanTamari]

Ok this has blown my mind

@aaaronson Good ol advert by their national airline in the 2010s. They called it the flag of flags.

New: Mixed reactions to Trump's decision to delay signing the housing bill after Republicans prepared for an affordability win:

Tillis: "Makes no sense"
Malliotakis: "Clinching defeat out of the jaws of victory"
Jim Banks: "The president has been transparent"
French Hill: "Fully in his prerogative"

More intra PA clashes >>>

[Chris Deluzio @ChrisForPA]

I’ll tell you what’s un-American: putting Israel or any foreign country ahead of America.

We should be focused on Americans’ prosperity at home, not carrying water for Netanyahu’s genocidal and reckless wars.

[Rachel Schilke @rachel_schilke]

👀 Trump bashing the housing bill he’s set to sign in a couple of hours, says it’s of “minor importance” and slams it as the “Elizabeth ‘Pocahontas’ Warren centric housing bill”

My elevated take for @BGOV re: Warren’s fingerprints on the housing package: https://t.co/TsRWoOvjPM

[Jonathan Tamari @JonathanTamari]

Karoline Leavitt: “one of the most significant pieces of housing affordability legislation in American history”

Pulte: “another great Housing Accomplishment”

Trump: “of minor importance”

Tomorrow’s lunch is going to go great

[Jonathan Tamari @JonathanTamari]

It’s been happening for a long time but tonight is more confirmation: the idea of what voters find acceptable and desirable in their candidates and their policies has dramatically expanded.

[Jonathan Tamari @JonathanTamari]

I’m sorry. As a reporter I’ve seen some ads that really stretch reality. But no way am I buying that Brad Lander is throwing behind the back passes

[David Weigel @daveweigel]

Ad of the year so far

[Jonathan Tamari @JonathanTamari]

So now we have National Guard, Park Police, US Marshals and fencing around the reflecting pool -- which until a couple months ago was just an everyday part of the DC scenery

As we all know: when a politician says they are not running for a certain position, it’s 100% ironclad

[Igor Bobic @igorbobic]

“I will never run for anything leadership in the Senate ever again,” Rick Scott vowed today

But his moves this week left his colleagues with a very different impression
