📻@BernieSanders tells @NPRKelly that the @AbdulElSayed MI primary win "is the most extraordinary victory in modern American politics."

When asked if he can see a democratic socialist winning the WH in 2028, Sanders said, "Sure, absolutely."

Hear it all @NPR this afternoon.

I haven’t listened to the news much since the last election, but tuning in to @NPR today, I forgot how much I really appreciate and miss the razor sharp reporting of @NPRKelly. She gives me hope.

Nice line from Sir Alex Younger's obituary:

"He was once invited to meet Mohammed bin Salman, Saudi Arabia’s Crown Prince and de facto ruler. A helicopter picked Younger up from one of the Gulf states and flew him to an uninhabited island off the Saudi coast. There he found Prince Mohammed sitting beneath an umbrella, with his yacht moored nearby, watching a Bond film by way of preparation for the meeting."

Ted Turner in the late 1990s made the bold and brave step of opening a CNN bureau in Saddam Hussein's Baghdad. I was the correspondent. He believed that if Americans could see that other people were much like them, there would be fewer wars. He believed in journalism.

@autismstepdad @Variety Same.

Jane Fonda pays tribute to her former husband, Ted Turner:

“He swept into my life, a gloriously handsome, deeply romantic, swashbuckling pirate and I’ve never been the same,” Fonda wrote on Instagram. “He needed me. No one had ever let me know they needed me, and this wasn’t your average human being that needed me, this was the creator of CNN, and Turner Classic Movies, who had won the America’s Cup as the world’s greatest sailor. He had a big life, a brilliant mind and a soaring sense of humor."

“He could also take care of me. That was new as well. To be needed and cared for simultaneously is transformative. Ted Turner helped me believe in myself. He gave me confidence. I think I did the same for him, but that’s what women are raised to do. Men like Ted aren’t supposed to express need and vulnerability. That was Ted’s greatest strength, I believe."
