@farhip They were still working on their lip-syncing at that point.

MLB note to Commissioner Manfred

Every team should play on Opening day, Memorial Day, 4th of July and Labor Day and your national broadcast partners should be forced to air games throughout the day

How this isn't a thing I have no idea

[Mark Potts @pottsmark]

@farhip And McCartney was visiting Lennon at the Dakota and watching the show together when it aired. They discussed heading downtown to 30 Rock to collect on Lorne’s offer, but decided it was too much trouble.

The collapse of trust in science is going to go down in history as one of the most sad, bizarre, and destructive social contagions of modern times.

We fed billions, cured diseases and powered nations - yet people ran toward conspiracies instead.

Until my final breath I will never understand how January 6th wasn't an instant dealbreaker for every single American voter

[Bill Carter @wjcarter]

How was he not stopped right there?? You have to show ID to walk into a restaurant? Where does he live? The 3d moon of Saturn? Come on. Challenge nonsense like this. Don't say something abt a "vote on Capitol Hill right now." The man is spouting total lunacy here. CALL HIM ON IT.

for cryin' out loud, cancel the dinner permanently

it's a godawful event that serves no useful purpose

[Jane Sasseen @janesasseen]

As someone who used to have to go to that awful dinner and hated every minute of it, could not agree more! That DC journalists do not understand how bad this looks and undermines what little credibility they still have with the public is incomprehensible.

I would rather have a functional National Park Service than Spirit Airlines.

@farhip @sarafischer @weijia @whca Then she should have let somebody else handle the presser.

@MeghanMcCain Reupping:

[Ken Dilanian @KDilanianMSNOW]

This is the way it’s always been, because this is a hotel, with paying guests coming in and out. It’s one of the most secure public event venues in DC, and the Secret Service for decades has concluded that it could protect the event with a perimeter outside the ballroom. No doubt that will now be reconsidered.

[Carla ‘Bluechecked’ Marinucci @cmarinucci]

Already @X and social media going wild claiming alleged shooter "was a Democrat." Data guru @Rpyers has the receipts: no, Cole Allen of Torrance, CA was not a registered Democrat. 👇

[Mark Potts @pottsmark]

@cmarinucci He can’t help himself, Carla. You know that.

[Grant Paulsen @GrantPaulsen]

I don’t remember a time where the Nats system had so many high-upside bats producing like they are right now.

Eli Willits is killing the ball.
Ronny Cruz looks like a stud.
Yeremy Cabrera is a dude.
Devin Fitz-Gerald looks legit.
Luke Dickerson looks way better.
Ethan Petry has been great.
Coy James has flashed a bunch.
Seaver King has improved.
Yoyo Morales is killing the ball.
Cayden Wallace is on a heater.
Sam Peterson has mashed.

What a month!

The idea a roomful of reporters is going to sit at a fancy dinner laughing at Trump's jokes while every day he makes a mockery of the freedoms they claim to protect is, frankly, fucking infuriating

[Andrea Junker @Strandjunker]

If you’re at the Correspondents’ Dinner tonight and remain silent about Trump and his enablers, you are neither a journalist nor a patriot.

You are an accomplice.
