And inspiring stories about rising up and making a difference.
"Keep hope alive,"
RIP Jesse Jackson

We’ve passed 90 minutes, right?
AI will help companies operate much more efficiently.
But if people don't have jobs, they won't have money to buy the things companies sell and make.
This seems like a problem for companies.
It's a bigger problem for people.
So my Governor was singled out and disinvited by Trump to the National Governors Association Bipartisan dinner at the White House. Trump’s racism is a mega phone. Moore is the Vice Chair of the NGA & the only Black Governor in the US. In solidarity w/him, all governors/esp Ds must refuse to attend!
This Super Bowl is like watching Michigan v. Iowa in 1999. Minus the snow.
"I don't believe you should use a political calculus in running a news organization of this consequence....whether it's the Washington Post or CBS. I think the job is to be an ally of the facts, and to be an ally of the truth."
Marty Baron joins @timmiller.bsky.social on The Bulwark Podcast:
Q: What did you mean when you said you should 'nationalize elections' & which 15 states are you talking about?
TRUMP: If a state can't run an election, I think the people behind me should do something about it. Look at Detroit, Pennsylvania, Atlanta -- horrible corruption on elections
War Pigs at the Grammys.
Powerful choice.
And also, for anyone who is able to meet this criteria, if they are that incredibly successful they would likely 1) already be making a lot of money and 2) love what they are already doing so why would they apply for this position?

TRUMP on Venezuela: "We're going to run the country until such time as we can do a safe, proper and judicious transition."
If everything is going so great, then WHY IS HE YELLING? Why does he sound mad?

Important question here -- what has the jury been eating for lunch?
Have they been ordering out for....sandwiches?
Have any Subway sandwiches been delivered to the courtroom?
Hot take: John Sauer had A LOT of caffeine this morning before this #SupremeCourt #tariff hearing.
Also, why does he sound like RFK Jr.?
And it is still there.
Today at Detroit Metro Airport.
Illinois Governor JB Pritzker explains what he believes is Donald Trump's real goal in normalizing a military presence in U.S. cities by dressing ICE and Border Patrol agents in military gear.
Watch:
Pritzker is also furious: “Should National Governors Association leadership choose to remain silent, Illinois will have no choice but to withdraw from the organization.”
I don't remember seeing any calls for violent retribution after a Minnesota state senator was assassinated, and it would have been nice not to see any today.
Four Palestinian journalists, a rescue worker and several more people were killed on Monday after two Israeli strikes hit a hospital in southern Gaza on Monday, according to local officials. Israel confirmed its forces struck the hospital area, without saying why.
"On Saturday, the AJC notes, Kennedy went on his personal social media account and shared photos of himself holding a big salmon from a fishing trip. Later in the day, following more complaints, his official account on X finally shared a message of support for CDC employees."
Breaking Quorum is an exceptional and extraordinary act of last resort.
It is not a decision I take lightly.
But Texas Democrats will stand up and protect democracy, even if it comes at a great cost.
Some thoughts
X is like Fox News
Blue Sky is like MSNBC
Threads is like People Magazine
X + Blue Sky = is far from a perfect balance but it helps
CNBC hosts are melting down right now.
Tragic. Shortsighted. Bad for our democracy.
PBS will shut down.
