The cartoon defaming @RepRashida is disgusting, dangerous, and destructive.

@upnorthlive The County Commission was NOT scheduled to discuss the Pines--it was on a "receive and file" of meeting minutes item on the consent agenda. These are never discussed, unless a Commissioner or member of the public pulls it for discussion, as Commissioner Andrews did.

I’m so tired of dealing with people who are too afraid to go ANYWHERE without their guns.

They think they’re brave, but they all look like cowards with security-blanket-weapons to me.

Which so-called “Michigan Republican Party” should the State of Michigan recognize for elections purposes?

[Bruce Moore @bwmoore22]

@PhDemetri They should be able to tell the difference between lies, damned lies, and statistical lies. They should also know something about the human factors of probability; people don't necessarily distinguish well between events with probability 0.01 and 0.0001.

This is still one of the most important things I’ve written since Oct 7

@BillieAndrewL @RLJnews You don't understand this until you've lived in a city with transit. When I moved to Dallas in 1987, you had to have a car. After build-out of the train network, you could live without a car when I left in 2018. How the train network influenced development was very real.

[Bruce Moore @bwmoore22]

@umichvoter It depends. In the snail mail era, I wrote a letter referencing a very specific problem and included a reference to a national newspaper article. Much later, I got a one-off letter thanking me and reviewing the actions taken.

Most of the time you will get a canned response.

[Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez @AOC]

Lead?

More Democrats voted to keep government open than Republicans did.

We had to drag your party kicking and screaming across the finish line to fund schools and pay servicemembers.

And that was after you wasted the whole week on a joke impeachment hearing as shutdown loomed

“Endemic” COVID: More total hospitalizations in 2023 than 2020.

But it’s cool because daily hospitalizations “remain at far lower levels than the worst points in the last few years.”

[Bruce Moore @bwmoore22]

@upnorthlive January, 2021 was a pretty deadly COVID month. I was putting fuel stabilizer in my car because I was driving so little, it took months to get through a tank of gas. The abnormally low price in January, 2021 was due to a crash in demand. Not the brightest stunt.

Missouri lawmakers - the vast majority of whom are men - are asking teachers - the vast majority of whom are women - to shoot and kill school shooters - the vast majority of whom are students.

[Bruce Moore @bwmoore22]

@upnorthlive I would love to see a longitudinal study of this question. I'm not sure that there has been a period in my lifetime (or my parents' for that matter) when this would have gotten a majority "yes." Because it wraps up so many views and opinions, it really isn't a useful question.

[Bruce Moore @bwmoore22]

@laurahornshaw Exactly.

[Bruce Moore @bwmoore22]

@llmunro Totally agree. When it is 8:00 at night on a Sunday, it needs to be a topic that you really, really, really like.

[Rachel Louise Just @RLJnews]

WATCH: One of the biggest policy priorities Whitmer announced yesterday was paid family and medical leave for workers in Michigan. While we don't know specifics yet, Minnesota's new policy may prove to be an inspiration.

@EricLloyd ?!

[Fred Wellman @FPWellman]

Have I got a story for you. It starts with a simple tip that someone has done a FOIA request for all 7 million voter signature cards in Georgia. I was able to get a screenshot of the request. It's much more insane than I could have possibly thought and people need to know.

[Jay Rosen @jayrosen_nyu]

In 37 years as a faculty member, I have never seen anything like this video.

It's the faculty senate at Texas A&M meeting with the university's president, Katherine Banks, the day before she resigned.

The reason she resigned is clear from the clip. https://t.co/JEtaxywjSX 1/

[John Gibbons 🇵🇸 @think_or_swim]

Not to be alarmist but…this is what’s called a six-sigma event, now unfolding in Antarctica.

Otherwise known as a once-in-7.5-million-year event.

Hang onto your hats.
