One thing about Josh Shapiro is he has never (not once) picked me up from the airport.
What time do you get in?
Officially moving to Chicago tomorrow. I assume JB Pritzker will be waiting for me at the airport

Asking my Senators to vote for new leadership; either Chuck Schumer cannot whip votes, in which case he's useless, or he is fine giving up leverage for nothing, in which case he's worthless.

Despite her other strengths, to get to be a liberal justice you must first become "too clever by half".
People are hungry, tonight. A leader either feeds them, or makes it clear that they'd like to.

She wants an order from the First Circuit upholding the trial court. That would give the liberal minority a foothold to argue the Supreme Court should do so as well. a strategic stay to increase chance of restarting SNAP benefits.

One thing the NYC mayoral race underscored for me is how easily the phrase "I don't feel safe" can be weaponized. It's an argument I would hesitate ever to use again, even for a good cause. I hope we can all agree that we have the right to BE safe. Maybe we should leave it at that.

Big loss for the "What is the real world use case for crypto" crowd
Donald Trump has pardoned Binance founder Changpeng Zhao. Binance has been a major supporter of Trump's crypto projects, and Trump has already made millions after Binance accepted a $2 billion investment from an Emirati fund denominated in the Trump family's USD1 stablecoin.

Based, tbh.
Sen. John Fetterman said he’d back a Republican plan to override the Senate filibuster if it meant passing a bill to reopen the federal government.
"I don’t want to see any Democrats clutching their pearls about it now."

No 'pearl clutching,' Fetterman tells Democrats as calls for the override of the filibuster
Most Democrats have called for the end of the filibuster in the past, Fetterman said, adding, "I don’t want to see any Democrats clutching their pearls about it now."
