Brewers Promote Fitzpatrick, Outright Matos as Zerpa Hits IL

Milwaukee placed left-hander Angel Zerpa on the 15-day injured list with left forearm tightness and selected Brian Fitzpatrick to take his roster spot, potentially giving him his MLB debut. Luis Matos was outrighted to Triple-A Nashville after clearing waivers, opening a 40-man vacancy. Fitzpatrick’s promotion helps balance a bullpen that includes four lefties; Matos remains in the organization as depth and could be re-added later if healthy.

"Anti-abortion candidate challenges Pennsylvania GOP Rep. Brian Fitzpatrick"

Pennsylvania Republican Rep. Brian Fitzpatrick, a target of Democrats in 2024, is facing a primary challenge from anti-abortion activist Mark Houck. Houck, who recently filed paperwork to run in Pennsylvania's 1st congressional district, opposes abortion access and exceptions for rape and incest. This sets up a potentially contentious primary focused on abortion rights in a swing seat that the GOP must win to maintain a majority in Congress. Fitzpatrick, one of 18 Republicans representing a district won by President Joe Biden, has successfully fended off challenges from the right in the past. However, Houck's candidacy could be used by Democrats to portray the GOP as extreme on abortion.

GOP lawmaker suggests flexibility on debt default deadline.

GOP lawmaker suggests flexibility on debt default deadline.

Republican Rep. Brian Fitzpatrick believes there is "wiggle room" in the proposed June 1 deadline to raise the debt ceiling and prevent default. He stated that a technical default would mean that the US doesn't have enough cash flow to pay the interest on its debt, but they do have enough cash flow to do that. Fitzpatrick thinks that lawmakers should "assume" that the default deadline is June 1, but the math tells us that there is a little bit of wiggle room. Negotiations between President Biden and Republicans broke down on Friday but then quickly resumed.
