@GASpriggs Love this. Red-tail hawk, that's the sound they usually play for an eagle. Blood-chilling scream.

This is unbelievable: LA City Council President Nury Martinez was recorded calling a fellow councilmember's 2 year-old Black son "a little monkey" and said she wanted to give him a "beat-down." She said this about a TWO YEAR OLD. @CD6Nury must resign. https://t.co/RPlwBNyxaN

Beyond racist: L.A. Council President Nury Martinez referred to a fellow council member’s young Black son as “ese changito,” or that little monkey in leaked audio obtained by The Times.

@Philip_Ellis Simple, positive intentions like being glad for them come across clearly. Self-consciousness, less so (too bad for me, ha).

Your smile will be automatic if you're glad for someone; focus on that. If they catch you looking, just nod happily or thumbs-up as others suggested.

Pentagon leaders installed as part of Trump purge last month blocked DC National Guard from getting riot gear and ammunition as protesters descended on Capitol. https://t.co/zggrUhfRgo

BREAKING: Current DC police officers just went on the record as saying that off-duty police officers and members of the military were a part of the mob that stormed the Capitol - and even flashed their badges and ID's to partake in the process.

@waltshaub @svdate You mean, like the Lion King song? :-/

I doubt you'll get many math or physics people to agree the reflexive notion of "circle" has any more dimensions than 2.

Can't speak for other folks. Or Lion King lyrics.

@jkcarnah Is this another childish misapplication of Benford's? Or something even more wacky and unsubstantiated?

Witness corroborates claim against Graham:

A staffer for Georgia Secretary of State Brad Raffensberger says he participated in that controversial phone call with Lindsey Graham and said he heard Graham ask if state officials could throw out ballots. https://t.co/C0GuO1bfTb

We need a reliable Federal Reserve to help manage our economy in this pandemic.

Judy Shelton’s dangerous ideas would devastate our economy, and her lack of commitment to using the full force of the Fed to provide COVID-19 relief is unacceptable.

I voted no on her nomination.
