1. What was the last name of the Scottish botanist who introduced the popular Pseudotsuga menziesii into cultivation in 1827, and thus after whom the tree is commonly named (or mis-named, as it is actually a conifer in the pine family)?

Hey @60Minutes, Trump just said he’s the only president who hasn’t taken his salary. JFK gave every penny of his salary to groups such as the Boy Scouts, Girl Scouts, and the United Negro College Fund. He did the same thing with his House and Senate salaries.

Profound appreciation to Governor Gavin Newsom who courageously commuted the sentences of all 548 prisoners on death row in California.

My father was murdered in California and when his assailant was sentenced to death, his brother, Senator Edward Kennedy, on behalf of our family, asked that the murderer's life be spared. He was right then, and Gavin Newsom is right today.

It may be politically expedient to support the death penalty, but it is always morally repugnant.

Let's remember the words of Robert Kennedy on April 5, 1968:

"Whenever any American's life is taken by another American unnecessarily - whether it is done in the name of the law or in the defiance of law, by one man or a gang, in cold blood or in passion, in an attack of violence or in response to violence - whenever we tear at the fabric of life which another man has painfully and clumsily woven for himself and his children, the whole nation is degraded."

Happy Birthday, Pat.

"So when you try to hurl that word 'liberal' at my feet as if it were something dirty, something to run away from, something that I should be ashamed of, it won't work, Senator. Because I will pick up that label and I will wear it as a badge of honor."

Newsom Commutes the Sentences of California’s 548 Death Row Inmates. Gov. Gavin Newsom, in one of his last acts, commuted the sentences of all prisoners with death sentences, calling capital punishment morally objectionable. That’s about a quarter of death sentences nationwide. https://t.co/bFtPuSOfWa @nytimes @LaurelRosenhall @DPFocus @SmartJusticeCA @uscedp #deathpenalty

My new album, Love & Other Mysteries, is out now. 15 songs, a few things about love are still a mystery. It's a collection of songs about life, love, and everything in between. I hope you'll give it a listen wherever you get your streaming music from. 🙏🏻

Almost everything you are hearing in mainstream news about the supposed lack of popularity of progressive policies on police and prisons is a lie. Shifting resources from police/punishment to social services is one of the most consistently popular policies polled for 40 years.
