Fondly recall USA 3-2 win over Portugal in 2002 World Cup early Weds June 5. Covered late Tues primaries in DC with @jonallendc @MCJalonick into wee hours. Decided to stay up and walk to The Diner in Adams Morgan, open for 5 am eastern start of match played in South Korea.

“If a man’s past keeps surprising us, it’s a safe bet that his present and future will continue to surprise us as well,” former Rep. Tom Malinowski, D-N.J., said of the "moral dilemma" Democrats face with a Graham Platner-Susan Collins matchup.
"One Republican strategist involved in Senate campaigns told NBC News that the party will hold back its opposition research file on Platner until the deadline passes out of fear that Democrats will 'Biden him'" via @jonallendc @natashakorecki nbcnews.com/politics/2026-el…

On this, everyone should be able to agree: Graham Platner sounds like a professional wrestler from the 1980s.

Lotta chirping in my back yard. Looked out. An Oriole and a Cardinal were perched on the backs of two patio chairs. No Blue Jays. No talk of wildcard standings.

Does representation matter? DOD put out a list of faiths that implied LDS is not a Christian denomination. LDS lawmakers objected. DOD re-issued the classification of faiths.

Median family income in the U.S.: $83,730 on Census.gov. Two front-row, center-court tickets for Knicks-Spurs: $138,240 on Stubhub.com. That said, prices for some premium seating appear to be going *down* on secondary market.

There's something unique about Knicks fans, who are all talking "Knicks in 4." Most fan bases with similar droughts would be nervous about the other size 20.5 shoe dropping after going up 2-0. Think about the psychological trauma of the Curse of the Bambino, for example.

Indiana could have two NFL teams. Amazing because New York can’t field one.

The president is currently explaining how he’s spending tax dollars to beautify Washington at a roundtable with farmers, who have been hit with the double pinch of tariffs and rising fuel costs. It’s a bold strategy.
