“The story of this era isn’t merely that powerful men demand obedience. History is full of powerful men demanding obedience. The story of this era is whether enough Americans still possess the courage to refuse. Scott Pelley did.”

Democrats should start buying radio slots in rural markets talking about screwworm and Argentinian beef imports. Both pain points on rural Ag communities where just informational advertising can move votes. Rural radio is cheap to play in and still has decent audience numbers

[Javier Blas @JavierBlas]

Word of the day: “screwworm.”

The parasite has been moving north throughout Central America and Mexico. The USDA puts the closest confirmed cases ~25 miles south of the US-Mexican border.

For many in the cattle industry, it’s a case of when rather than if it reaches the US.

Donald Trump bought $750,000,000.00 worth of stock, did not report it, and had to pay a $200 fine.

Corruption at its peak.

HOLY SH*T, this parting statement by Scott Pelley is WILD:

"New management has instructed me to INJECT FALSEHOODS AND BIAS into a politically sensitive story. I've been told to include assertions that are unverified."

I bet he knows a LOT more, too. 🔥

The Ukrainian drones that struck St Petersburg this morning flew north through Russian airspace for over 5 hours without being shot down, I repeat 5 hours.

An argument I'm seeing is that the Strait of Hormuz is a "diminishing asset" for Iran, as the war is likely to incentivize regional states to develop alternative transit routes to reduce dependence on the Hormuz choke point.

It's true that alternative routes are likely (and a good idea! I've written about it), but arguing that this reduces Iran's potential leverage obscures the fact that any and all alternatives to Hormuz will lie within range of Iranian missiles and drones.

Hormuz is not Iran's only source of leverage in these negotiations. Its credible threat to lay waste to regional energy infrastructure if attacked is just as potent, and just as problematic.

🚨 Tennessee’s Republican House Speaker went to prison after stealing taxpayer dollars.

Trump just gave him a pardon.

Before his big victory in Iowa last night, Paralympian Josh Turek showed CNN’s @jeffzeleny how he campaigned door-to-door by wheelchair to try to win every last vote in the Senate primary.

I’ve been talking about this for a long time.

This is how Bezos has a $500M yacht on a $82,000 a year salary.

Thank you @RubenGallego

Ukrainian aircraft arrive to deliver a keynote address at the St Petersburg International Economic Forum that opens this morning. Special entertainment for Candace Owens, Andrew Tate and all the other distinguished guests.

A third-round pick. A Super Bowl champion. A generation of highlights.

Russell Wilson has announced his retirement 👏

Republicans think practically every profession except cops is less trustworthy and ethical than Democrats do.

They keep talking about “low trust cultures.”

Once again, rightists need to develop some self-awareness.

BREAKING: SpaceX plans to sell approximately 555.6 million shares at $135 per share in its upcoming IPO, according to new SEC filings.

At that price, the offering would raise $75 billion, making it the largest IPO in history by a wide margin.

This would value SpaceX at $1.77 trillion.

When 60 Minutes is in trouble, we are all in trouble. When Pelley says CBS is meddling in his reporting for political reasons, believe it. https://t.co/lWpjdv1Unm

🚨 The House just voted 218-204 to move forward on the discharge petition to provide military aid to Ukraine and impose tough sanctions on Russia. The House will vote on final passage tomorrow. This is our Churchill moment and we must pass the test.

The U.S. Supreme Court erased all doubts about the sweeping nature of its recent voting rights jurisprudence Tuesday night with a shadow docket ruling that effectively reverses the Court’s own decision in the same matter just three years ago. https://t.co/xebgKgDzyb
