A fun tidbit about San Francisco is that a lot of polling places are just garages. Great way to get to know your neighbors! It is surreal filling out a ballot next to a washing machine, though. www.nytimes.com/live/2026/06...

Noticing that MLB live commentators are saying “RBI” as a plural instead of “RBIs” this season. Did they all get a memo?

DC local leaders are calling on Washingtonians to call Senators to “not cut DC’s local budget.” At this point, though, any changes to the House-passed CR will lead to a government shutdown Friday night.

Not loving the new ABS system MLB is testing out. It might drive some crazy, but isn’t the fallibility of the human umpires part of the game? Also, if speeding up the pace of play is important, this isn’t doing that.

MPD reports a shooting on the 300 block of Florida Ave. NE, near the NoMa Trader Joe’s. Two officers injured and the “subject also shot.” Violent crime like this is unfortunately not that unusual in NoMa, one of the fastest growing neighborhoods in the city and the country.

Not sure who needs to hear this, but some of you do: It’s normal for manned aircraft to have their landing lights on when below 10,000 feet. It’s also normal, and often required, for these airplanes to have red and green navigation lights on the wings. And it’s normal for them to have strobe lights.

Biden had one interaction with a journalist during his entire trip to Angola. (Screenshot from White House press pool report)

One correction to a previous pool report. While POTUS took no questions and did not speak with your pool today, he did answer one question yesterday from a photojournalist who asked about South Korea. POTUS said "I'm just getting briefed on it." That was outside of the hearing of your pooler but for what it's worth, those six words constitute POTUS's entire interaction with any journalists on this trip.

Breaking news sent via Punchbowl News text alert:

Breaking news: Rep. Matt Gaetz's (R-Fla.) resignation from Congress came two days before the House Ethics Committee was set to vote on releasing a "highly damaging" report outlining its investigation into the Republican, according to multiple sources familiar with the probe.

The committee planned to vote Friday on releasing the report. Ethics loses its jurisdiction over Gaetz when he leaves Congress.

The secretive panel has been investigating Gaetz on and off since 2021.

President-elect Donald Trump announced that he would nominate Gaetz to be attorney general Wednesday.
