@maustermuhle I want to know more. The origin, how long, are the members ok with it. Very unusual.

[Stephen C. Fehr @scfehr1]

@HOFprez Thanks for stepping up your presence on X. Nice fun alternative to political social media. And you’re taking us to Cooperstown with you.

Some personal news, as they say:

Excited beyond belief to be joining @NOTUSreports as a sports reporter, covering a mash-up of familiar topics for me: the overlap of sports + politics, the overlap of college sports + Capitol Hill, and ... wait for it ... the Nationals!

Former Vice President Mike Pence says he has “certainly seen evidence” of the Trump administration deliberately whitewashing the Jan. 6 Capitol attack, but says “an effort by some to rewrite” the history of that day won’t work.

“Particularly, I was offended on the anniversary of January 6, when the White House put out a timeline that literally blamed Capitol Hill police for the riot that took place that day,” Pence tells @margbrennan.

Tough two weeks at NPR. Losing fine talents, familiar voices, good friends. Their contribution to NPR's excellence endures. And we will redouble our dedication to the work that needs to be done, now more than ever. Thank you.

Conan salvaged 2026 commencement speech season with his Harvard commencent roast:

“The first graduating class in 1642 had only 9 graduates…and somehow they were all legacies. No university in our nation has produced more Nobel laureates or white-collar criminals. So, whether you choose good or evil, know that you are among the very best.”

An appropriate birthday present on my uncle's birthday today. A federal judge ruled that President Trump and the Kennedy Center Board acted unlawfully in renaming the Kennedy Center. The judge held that only Congress can change the Center's name and blocked the planned two-year closure. I know they'll probably appeal and the story isn't over, but for today let’s celebrate a great birthday gift.

Federal judge orders that the John F. Kennedy Center for the Performing Arts remove Trump’s name from the building’s facade and all official branding, finding that the board’s decision to do so was unlawful. @juliarebeccaj https://t.co/k3jzAugdGn

The Jaxson Dart-Abdul Carter episode was not some cooked-up “narrative.”

Instead, it was a peek behind the curtain of how locker rooms are functioning in the Trump era. Because just like the rest of us, an NFL space can be politically divided:

Over the weekend, the UFC announced this rendering of what MMA cage matches on the White House lawn should look like on June 14. 1/2

[Collin Rugg @CollinRugg]

BREAKING: About 30 shots fired outside the White House.

Secret Service reportedly rushed the press who were on the north lawn into the press briefing room.

ABC reporter Selina Wang was in the middle of filming when the shots rang out.

@ErikWemple @RayLong He’s clearly targeting Jeff Bezos.

@TedLeonsis This was why the No. 1 draft pick was so important.

Sports and entertainment have become powerful economic engines for cities across the country, and that is especially true here in DC. From driving tourism and supporting local businesses to creating jobs and spurring infrastructure investment, their impact is felt across our community.

We see that impact play out in our own Downtown. Every game, concert and live event supports restaurants, hotels, local businesses and thousands of jobs across our community. Modern venues and entertainment districts create year-round activity that helps keep neighborhoods vibrant and economically active.

That’s why investments like the transformation of @CapitalOneArena matter. This project will enhance the fan experience while strengthening DC’s position as a global destination for major events, innovation and culture – diversifying our economy as a result.
