Do you have any idea how much this country would change if, say voter turnout in November increased five percent from 2020? About 67% of eligible voters cast ballots then - and that was considered huge. Check out this piece from 2020. #journalism #vote

If you want Alito gone.
If you want Thomas gone.
You need a clean sweep in November.

I do get the feeling that this $3.3 billion dollar investment by Microsoft will get a lot of attention within 25 miles of the site of this event, but this is big money and it's national news, too. Live stream with Biden just about to take the stage.

People who believe in three strikes laws should take notice that Judge Merchan has now given Trump TEN.

Colin Jost didn't waste a lot of his time joking about Biden's age and memory. He probably figured people in the audience weren't going to be that interested in a re-hash of what they seem to write about multiple times a day. #journalism

Y'know I went to high school in Brookings, South Dakota (grade school in Rapid) and I had a feeling and so I looked it up and yes, there are plenty of no-kill animal shelters in the state. Why their governor couldn't find one is beyond me. "right to life, and all that.

I have diverse interests, which is why I can watch a 30-minute video of some random dude cleaning up an overgrown yard, pivot to watching a 30-minute video of some random dude cleaning the most insanely dirty rug on the planet and follow that up by watching some random dude cleaning a rat-infested 60's muscle car discovered sitting in a barn for 20 years.

Personally? I'd give extra credit to students who stand up to be counted.

It's lazy to keep using the same terminology to describe the same events from the same persective and so I propose that the New York Times replace "E.P.A. Severely Limits Pollution From Coal-Burning Power Plants," with "E.P.A.Takes Steps To Drastically Improve Air Quality for persons living near Coal-Burning Plants." #journalism

That's exactly what she's suggesting.

When they say they don't know of anything Biden's done that matters to them, ask 'em about this. #JoeBiden #noncompete #overtime

In an ongoing campaign that seeks to influence congressional and other political debates to stoke anti- #Ukraine sentiment, Kremlin-linked political strategists and trolls have written 1,000s of fabricated news articles, social media posts & comments that promote American isolationism, stir fear over the US’ border security and attempt to amplify U.S. economic & racial tensions, according to a trove of internal Kremlin documents obtained by a EU intelligence service. https://www.washingtonpost.com/world/2024/04/08/russia-propaganda-us-ukraine/

Suggest you stop thinking Jr., is so stupid he doesn't know he's spreading lies. Same with Daddy and every far right politician.

The nature of the lies, the diversity of educational background makes it far more likely they all know what they're spreading are lies, that the lies are chosen because they support narratives.

And until you can show me that being called out for lying, being laughed at, ridiculed for "being so stupid," causes people to turn away from them - they're succeeding.

Some insight into what happened in the minutes before the Key Bridge collapsed.

Cool, direct, urgent, successful. Maybe not a college degree or a 6-figure salary among them—and they used their training & experience at the most critical, high-pressure moment to save lives. All day, every day-that happens & we don't see it. That's your 'deep state? Just in Port of Baltimore, 45 cargo container ships come & go every 24 hours. 16,000 ships a year. They require all this guidance all the time (and US has 8 LARGER ports). Each ship with 5,000 containers loaded & unloaded. Not to mention The 8 construction workers on the bridge—-patching potholes in the middle of the night, so the road stays maintained, at a time that reduces inconvenience to us (and yes, is easier for them too because of low traffic). Every night...
Every night, 5 or 6 days a week, men & women just like them do that dangerous work on interstates & bridges in all 50 states. ... Here's the moment: An officer who closed one of the approaches says on radio...Can we notify the construction workers? Can we call the supervisor?' The officer was ready to drive out & warn the workers when someone on the radio — seconds later — said, The bridge is down. The whole bridge. That unnamed officer had been immediately thinking about how to save those guys out on the bridge—workers just like him. Thanks. - Thanks to all these folks who make the world run, and run safely 99% of the time, and work with skill, grace, clear-headedness in invisible but essential jobs. Even as disaster unfolded Tuesday after midnight, they were at work.

I live in an LSD dream world where MSNBC hiring Ronna McDaniel is the parent company's way of apologizing to the far right for putting Kristen Welker instead of Laura Trump in the MTP chair.

While Donald Trump was busy trying to get somebody - anybody - to give him $454 million with no collateral, Joe Biden was proposing doing this.
"For current homeowners looking for a new place but worried about giving up their current, lower mortgage rate, I'm proposing a $10,000 tax credit if they sell their starter homes."

"That means more folks can get into houses that suit their needs - and we unlock more affordable homes for first-time buyers." #JoeBiden
