Huge Phillies win, earning a split with Mets and chance to pick up a game on Braves. 20-17, not great, but with just 23 left in season, a 12-11 finish probably guarantees playoffs. — PolitiTweet.org

Navy football captain, Cameron Kinley, won’t be eligible to run for president until 2036. But he just might do it. “Don’t be afraid to go for things that may seem out of reach,” his mother tells him. Great profile from @kareemcopeland https://t.co/1TTczBwOdV — PolitiTweet.org

@NKingofDC I drove through Philly burbs for 2 days last week, then down through South Jersey - rural MAGA parts, mixed with super wealthy shore towns. Only saw one Trump sign (an entire boat) and many Biden + Amy Kennedy signs. Geography = politics. — PolitiTweet.org

The E channel has been airing a #FridayNightLights marathon this weekend. Some station should just be an entirely FNL channel, just airing 24-7 #ClearEyesFullHeartsCantLose episodes. (Random PK vacation observations ending COB tomorrow.) — PolitiTweet.org

@BDayspring @thepugdc @ruckusdeleon Hope some of you were watching the double-OT playoff hockey there? I'm not a huge NHL fan anymore, but that was fun. — PolitiTweet.org

@thepugdc He's turned into a fantastic pro. Is he the best 'Nova player in the NBA of the Jay era? I was glad to see Jay stay put on Lancaster Ave. He's building himself into the pantheon of college hoops coaches. — PolitiTweet.org

@thepugdc Hi Tony. Sorry, was doing vacation things today & missed the game. You wanna fill me in on how it ended? — PolitiTweet.org

Paul Kane @pkcapitol

@CillizzaCNN @BresPolitico @benpershing Shoot -- I totally missed this. Someone fill me in. Was this as bad as Bres declaring Julio Franco was so old that he couldn't possibly hit a HR, making the incredibly high odds bet against Ben, and Franco immediately hit a 420-foot HR to center field? — PolitiTweet.org

@BresPolitico ok, #BresHex escaped that misadventure. — PolitiTweet.org

@CaseyMPrichard @JacobMSchmitt @nathanlgonzales @nielslesniewski @BryanSpadaro McCain won comfortably, by about 13%, probably last time an AZ Senate race will be decided by that big a margin for quite a while. — PolitiTweet.org

Paul Kane @pkcapitol

@CaseyMPrichard @JacobMSchmitt @nathanlgonzales @nielslesniewski @BryanSpadaro Yes, "iffy-ish" would describe the primary, plus gen-election polling was tight until McCain won the primary and solidified his right flank. I went there twice, JSM worked harder for that 2016 win than any of his Senate races post-Keating 5. — PolitiTweet.org

Paul Kane @pkcapitol

@roytemple @nathanlgonzales @nielslesniewski yes, that's another one, a bit too close to home for you, I realize, but a relevant example. Man, those Missouri Senate races of '00-'02-'06 were so good, so close, such battles. Such drama. They're their own 30 for 30. — PolitiTweet.org

Paul Kane @pkcapitol

@nathanlgonzales @CaseyMPrichard @nielslesniewski @BryanSpadaro All part of AZ having full decade of competitive Senate races: 2016, '18, '20, '22, '24. McCain's seat in 3 of those ('16, '20, '22), Flake/Sinema's seat in '18 & '24. Tell me what AZ Senate delegation is in 2025 - 2 Ds, 2 Rs, 1 of each? - and I'll know which party is ascendant. — PolitiTweet.org

@nathanlgonzales @CaseyMPrichard @nielslesniewski Winners for Senate special elections get sworn in as soon as state certifie victory. So, yes, Kelly would be sworn in in November if he wins. See how Feinstein was sworn in in Nov. '92 (winning a special election in November to take then-Gov. Wilson's old Senate seat.) — PolitiTweet.org

Paul Kane @pkcapitol

@AndrewDesiderio @seungminkim @brianros1 @heatherscope Corbin & Scherzer just pitched back-to-back nice games, 11 innings combined, 2 & 3 runs allowed, respectively, scattering 12 hits. Combined score? Phillies 9, Nationals 0. The Nats are really screwed and need to completely overhaul this team if they wanna compete in '21. — PolitiTweet.org

Paul Kane @pkcapitol

@seungminkim @AndrewDesiderio @brianros1 @heatherscope We have beaten the Nats 5 straight times. They're supposed to be the defending World Series champs. Instead, they're the 2nd worst team in the National League. — PolitiTweet.org

Paul Kane @pkcapitol

The Nats are so bad, so poorly constructed, that I didn't even hex the Phillies with this earlier tweet today. Another shutout, 3-0. Unless Turner & Soto hit HRs, this Nats team cannot score. — PolitiTweet.org

This link goes to a haunting image of an empty @930Club - just haunting. Not endorsing their lobbying effort here, just sharing a sad image. All these arts/cultural institutions, they're built purposely to be small, cloistered, packed houses. https://t.co/TlS2etZttk — PolitiTweet.org

Paul Kane @pkcapitol

@DNicholsSR Problem is they did so little for 2020, and assumed Kieboom and Robles would shine, that their 2021 now looks like it needs a major overhaul. But they’re gonna spend the off-season first trying to find a new GM. So they may squander Max’s final season & Turner’s 2nd to last. — PolitiTweet.org

Paul Kane @pkcapitol

@thepugdc Understood. It’s weird season. But if this were full 162, you’d be more perturbed. Nats would be headed for 75 wins, or worse. Losing Stras hurt, sure. But even games when Corbin pitches good, Nats lose 6-0 (last night). Next season is Max’s last (he will be 37!). Go big now! — PolitiTweet.org

Paul Kane @pkcapitol

@DNicholsSR Flag. In this case, one flag. They entered off-season loaded for now, with 3-year window in which they would enter each season WS contender. Instead Rizzo/Lerners let them slide into Angels-level - couple stars surrounded by junk. Gonna need major rebuild to compete in ‘21. — PolitiTweet.org

Paul Kane @pkcapitol

@AndrewDesiderio Honestly, the Nats are so bad that I don’t know how to judge these Phillies. The Nats have HOF-level talent in Max & Soto, plus AS-level in Turner, Corbin & even a good bullpen. They wasted that by doing nothing to reload for this season. — PolitiTweet.org

Paul Kane @pkcapitol

Today’s non-politics vacation thought: These Nats are terrible. Soto & Turner are amazing. Everyone else is either over the hill or very green rookie. Scherzer has 1 year left, Turner just 2 years left. Rizzo - who might also leave - needed to go big for 2020-21. — PolitiTweet.org
