You know what? I admire the Nats bullpen’s commitment to the bit. Holds are bullshit. If the starter wants a win he can damn well go out there and pitch a complete game like an adult.

friendly reminder 👋 if you stand up to go to concessions during an at bat ☝️ you're going to hell 🫵 and your soul is irredeemable 🙏

Jolly green giant and whichever three you want to spare from his wrath

In February, USA Rugby banned trans women from all levels of one of the world’s most inclusive sports. What happened next was telling. Across the country, teams refused to comply. The story of the Baltimore Ferals, who are pushing back: www.thebanner.com/sports/rugby...

It’s like when your food is taking a long time to come out so your server brings some free bread to apologize for the wait.

That’s great, not gonna be able to go outside tomorrow without an N95 for the sake of a spectacle no one is going to watch

Organizers called off the Independence Day Parade late Friday, citing an extreme heat warning with temperatures expected to reach up to 115 degrees. The evening fireworks display remains scheduled. n.pr/4eVQ2Lx

i'm seriously considering trying to find the cheapest hotel i can get near the end of a metro line to stay at through saturday because these fucking flyovers are already getting to me

We all need to be reaching out and demanding Cade Cavalli be suspended

Alex Kirshner@alexkirshner.com · last mo.

Here's Cade Cavalli striking out Willson Contreras and screaming "sit down boy!" at him. Really nice and a great week for it. Does Manfred 1) do the obvious thing or 2) do nothing because he doesn't want a Turning Point spokesman to do a viral tweet about how he won't watch baseball anymore

Mitchell Parker, I enjoyed watching you make the most of your rookie opportunity and subsequently fight to turn yourself into a major league relief pitcher. It was a valiant effort.

Getting real sick of the blue angels over Baltimore

Big test for my bike trailer today, transporting the cats. This did not prove to be an exception to their general distaste for being transported, but it saved 10-15 minutes relative to taking the metro/walking from the stations. I think they appreciated that at least.

That time of year where the Nats negatively polarize me against baseball #natitude

Lmao, the one time I get a hotel room instead of planning on going to Penn/BWI to catch the train they announce a late night Camden line back 😭. They should do this on more often, and on weekends too!

NEWS: Aparna Raj @aparnafordc.bsky.social has won the Democratic primary election for the Ward 1 D.C. Council seat. It's the ward’s first race without an incumbent in more than three decades, Sam Delgado @samdelgado.bsky.social reports. 51st.news/aparna-raj-w...

DC Statehood was a moral and political necessity before Trump II but Trump II has aptly demonstrated that not immediately remedying this over the objections of Republicans is a moral and political failing.

Panther Raccoon@pantherraccoon.bsky.social · 2mo ago

They’re letting cops from the shitwit states come here to DC and arrest people with no jurisdiction. We are under occupation.

Vote for the candidate trusted by the leaders you trust—including Rockville’s Mayor & Council. Vote Jud Ashman for County Council in #Rockville & #Gaithersburg on Tuesday. @moniqueashton.bsky.social @alsobrooks.senate.gov @adamvangrack.bsky.social @marissavaleri.com @barryjacksoncm.bsky.social

Democrats should make 2 key points. 1) The illegal war in Iran has been a blunder & we are worse off than before it started. 2) There’s no good way out of a bad war. We should reject the talking points of those who cheered it on & want to drag us back into it. When you're in a hole, stop digging.

Senator Chris Van Hollen@vanhollen.senate.gov · 2mo ago

Very revealing. Republican senators who were AWOL regarding their constitutional duties around STARTING the war against Iran all of a sudden demand that Congress play a role in STOPPING the war. A whole lot of warmongering going on.

Kenyan McDuffie has conceded to Janeese Lewis George in the D.C. Democratic mayoral primary

NEW: Kenyan McDuffie called Janeese Lewis George this morning and conceded the mayoral race, per two sources familiar with the conversation. Barring any huge surprises in the vote counting, Lewis George has won this primary.

Results so far look fantastic for @janeese4dc.bsky.social, and the Nationals overtook the Padres for a wildcard spot 😁😁. Great day to wake up in DC

God Emperor of Nextel@ejtau.bsky.social · 2mo ago

Knicks won and Dolan hates Mamdani. Mark Lerner gave a ton of money to McDuffie. Following that logic, vote for @janeese4dc.bsky.social if you want to see the Nats win the World Series.

Closing out election night looking like a progressive sweep, with an almost certain JLG for mayor. We will continue to report on races as additional results are published. 51st.news/election-nig...

HELL YES

Last week HSI agents showed up at the offices of three DC non-profits that provide legal aid to immigrant children. Harassing the nonprofit lawyers who are assisting children trapped in Trump's deportation machine is beyond unconscionable. We are in solidarity with Ayuda, Amica Center, and KIND.

Legal groups that help migrant children say law enforcement visits were attempt at intimidation

Organizations providing legal aid to unaccompanied migrant children say agents from Immigration and Customs Enforcement and Health and Human Services attempted to enter their offices
