- Obama calls the All-Star game.
- And has an Air Force One chat with Willie Mays.
- A reasonable call for politicians to quit slapping their mugs on every public-resource website under their purview.
- The RNC announces via email that it will "'tweet' and 'simul-tweet' response and analysis all day today on the Senate Sotomayor hearing." How a "tweet" differs from a "simul-tweet" isn't exactly clear.
- LittleSis and HuffPo to team up on some health care investigations.
- Sarah Palin might not be raising all that much, but what she is raising is coming from the grassroots.
- Including the left's grassroots.
- Specter revisits the question of cameras in the courts, citing a survey that finds that 61% of Americans want to see cameras in the Supreme Court. Sotomayor, still not taking the bait.
- The FDA wants feedback on its Sentinel drug tracking system.
- And the team behind the Open Government Initiative's public rounds would do things differently next time.
