  • POWERING UP AMERICA: The National Association of Regulatory Utility Commissioners (NARUC) sent a letter praising President Donald Trump and his administration for a pair of executive orders bolstering America’s energy resiliency. NARUC president Tricia Pridemore was seen around D.C. recently amid rumors of her receiving a Federal Energy Regulatory Commission (FERC) role.

  • GETTING REAL: DHS Secretary Kristi Noem was on Capitol Hill today, appearing before the House Oversight Committee hearing ahead of Real ID enforcement beginning tomorrow. Noem told the committee that “81 percent” of airline travelers in America are compliant.

  • GEORGIA SHOWDOWN: Georgia GOP House members are eyeing the Senate seat currently occupied by Sen. Jon Ossoff (D., Ga.). Reps. Mike Collins (R., Ga.) and Buddy Carter (R., Ga.) both publicly indicated interest, but the delegation eyes the White House to see what President Donald Trump says. Senior Rep. Austin Scott (R., Ga.) and Gov. Brian Kemp (R., Ga.) both ruled out Senate runs.

  • QUESTIONS RAISED: The House Permanent Select Committee on Intelligence held a press conference to release their oversight report on the 2017 Congressional baseball shooting that saw several lawmakers attacked and House Majority Leader Steve Scalise (R., La.) nearly lose his life. Scalise wrote that the “report definitively shows the FBI completely mishandled the investigation into the Congressional baseball shooting of 2017.”

  • UNSURPRISING MOVE: Par for the course with her usual behavior, House Financial Services Committee ranking member Maxine Waters (D., Calif.) staged a walkout of a joint roundtable on digital assets between her committee and the House Agriculture Committee.

  • IN THE STACKS:Senate Republicans will be meeting off-site at the Library of Congress on Wednesday to review reconciliation text and priorities by committee. David Sacks is expected to join and discuss GENIUS and Crypto issues.
