"So Tuesday is the 6th anniversary (of the Parkland mass shooting). Since then, according to The Gun Violence Archive, there have been 3,370 mass shootings. That's 1.5 per day. Over the past six years, guns have killed or injured 5,355 children – CHILDREN – aged 11 and under."

We discuss the tragic mass shooting that occurred at the Chiefs' Super Bowl parade.

Nine children.

Nine children who went to a parade to celebrate their Super Bowl team.

Nine children now being treated for gunshot wounds @ChildrensMercy

When are we going to collectively realize there’s a gun problem in our country and do something sensible for our kids?

Jeff Bezos became $4,560,000,000 richer TODAY.

He now owns $200,000,000,000 in wealth.

If Bernie's Make Billionaires Pay Act was signed into law during the pandemic Bezos would have paid $42,800,000,000 more in taxes & everyone in America would have had healthcare as a right.

@Real10jayy__ so, do you really like the sleep number bed, or is it just business?

[Gillian Branstetter @GBBranstetter]

Your reminder the organization behind those "He Gets Us" ads you'll see during the Super Bowl also gives tens of millions of dollars to the ADF, a group of far-right lawyers who overturned Roe and write most of the anti-trans laws in the country https://t.co/VsiL68s4be

@minakimes are you the voice of, “you’re listening… to Draft Kings Network”?

@LeBatardShow listening to yesterday’s Hour 1; I think TS could fix baseball by buying the Royals. And maybe the @Reds as a side hustle.

[Eric Thomas @etfree05]

@TheFFBallers listening to your show from last Thursday; how much freedom do the ‘ducers have to add sound bytes based on things you say? There have been some glaring missed opportunities.

[Eric Thomas @etfree05]

@KyleAMadson That’s looney!

[Sam Dean 🦅 @SamAugustDean]

Bed Bath & Beyond blew one billion dollars on stock buybacks, a direct cash transfer to shareholders, in 2021.

Now it's bankrupt, in no small part because of that $1B hole, and....no severance for workers who've been there for 20 years.

Just got a concerning message that I’m following up with the proper authorities about. For the record if I get shot and killed doing this work politicize the fuck out of my death immediately and use it to pass as many gun laws as possible.

@AllisonWeather weird looking clouds on my way up 75 to Centerville for work. I’d take a pic, but my camera lens is broken lol.

@bengals_sans I tried a mock draft on a different site at the recommendation of my dad. It was frustrating in that I ended the draft with 9 first round picks next season. Can you imagine what that would be like? Teams just throwing first round picks around?? 🤣

@atrupar Sorry, are any countries that border the US actively bombing us? The generalization of “securing the border” that R’s make is fascinating in its stupidity.

John Hao, a 20-year-old student from China, was one of five students wounded in the Michigan State University shooting. He’s paralyzed from the chest down, and in intensive care with a breathing tube.

Newly unsealed texts reveal Fox News knowingly fed their viewers election lies. I wonder if there were consequences

A producer for Carlson, texting with another producer, explained the "needle" they had to "thread":

"We can’t make people think we’ve turned against Trump. Yet also call out the bullshit. You and I see through it. But we have to reassure some in the audience."
