DAVID! David Waldman hasn’t washed his clothes in days, but you can hardly tell that on today’s podcast. GREG! And Greg Dworkin bellies up to the bar with another raft o’ stories.

If actor George Wendt had ever run for office, he would have been the one most voters would have wanted to have a beer with. RIP Rep. Gerry Connolly, although even that won’t give him enough seniority to head some House committees.

The TLDR bill is stuck while Gops who say they’ll vote no but will definitely vote yes say they’ll vote no. Sure, they will be wrecking the economy for people in the short run, but in the long run they will really wreck the economy for people, with the exception of those people that they will kill. Thomas Massie isn’t falling in line at the moment, and at this moment Trump is mad about that.

Donald won’t keep his bib on... and keeps throwing his food on the floor... and keeps screaming… Oh for God’s sake, just let him have his toy already! Maybe then he’ll shut up and tell us his “new numbers” that he learned. What a smart boy!

Ashli Babbitt’s lawyers scored a big payday. Sure, beats working… maybe they can get the money directly from the police officers’ families? On the other hand, police won’t be held responsible for any future killings.

An FBI Agent goes public with a Russian intelligence operation that hooked Elon Musk and Peter Thiel, while American intelligence is being rewritten to not incriminate Donald K. Trump. Joe Kent, who likes more those more MAGA friendly intelligence reports, has been cast as Trump’s pretty boy to direct the National Counterterrorism Center.

Amazingly, we are still allowed to have elections. Gops fight to flip a NY Senate seat in a blue territory that Trump won in. Meanwhile, “reform DA” Larry Krasner won his primary on his way to his election in Philadelphia.
