Possible you could mishear Alpharetta as Austin I suppose.

As the NHL Board of Governors meet in NY today, sources tell me and @PatMcAfeeShow there could be news regarding NHL expansion in Texas. Sounds like Austin or Houston could be starting the process soon..

Every time I hear a political ad in Georgia that makes “New York values” seem like a bad thing, I always think you should want more of us wherever you are.

[Prof. Carl Sagan @ProfCarlSagan]

We look at our neighboring worlds and we see a grim warning. Venus is a runaway greenhouse hellscape, its surface hot enough to melt lead. Mars is a frozen, bone-dry desert. Earth is the anomaly,a perfectly balanced, delicate jewel where the conditions for life are miraculously just right.

Yet, we continue to treat our atmosphere as if it were an infinite dumping ground.

A fragile canopy. A destabilized climate. A global crisis.

Los Angeles voters are 51% Democratic and just 19% Republican. Spencer Pratt has no experience and was running a protest candidacy. Of course he did not place in the top two.

To suggest otherwise is absurd.

I feel like a lot of the run-off commercials are actually specifically written to appeal to voters who don’t know that there is a b in dumb.

NYT headline when the economy added 266,000 jobs under Biden vs. NYT headline when BLS says the economy added 172,000 jobs under Trump.

The ongoing destruction of science by this administration will set back humanity by generations.

@MattZeitlin @erinmdurkin I’m not sure it’s all that confusing. Most of the viewers won’t follow these changes as closely and as a result leverage presumed independence for more partisan approach and shift the conversation toward a preferred partisan outcome.

While I wouldn’t likely advise a client to sign a contract like this, I also understand that in a tight economy people need to work.

Amazon requires delivery vendors to adhere not only to its existing policies but also to whatever future ones Amazon imposes-which would then become “a part of your company’s contract with Amazon as if they were written in their entirety in this Agreement” https://t.co/6cDZXFXDRC

We’re not better off when things like this happen.

New statement from Scott Pelley:

There has never been anything in America like 60 Minutes.

The Sunday tradition is the most successful program of any kind in history. For more than a decade, its innovative growth on every major online platform has extended its reach to countless millions around the world. This spring, at the end of our 58thseason, 60 Minutes grew rapidly with an unheard-of 9% jump in viewers on CBS.

“60” has been the number-one program in America for decades because our beloved audience finds integrity, quality, and humanity in our stories. When stewardship of the program passed to my colleagues and me, our responsibility was to expand energetically into a new age of media technology while preserving the values our audience expects. Now, the new owner of our network is casting this legend aside, apparently to curry a moment of favor with the Trump administration.

The waste is heartbreaking.

Last month, 60 Minutes lost its DNA when our entire senior leadership and two of our best on-air correspondents were cruelly fired without cause. Good people were silenced because they stood up for our audience. They stood for fairness against the forces of political bias; they stood for professionalism against chaos.

For my part, 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. To date, in every case, I have managed to ignore these instructions or refuse them. Recently, politicians have been invited to choose correspondents for interviews on the broadcast. Giving politicians control over 60 Minutes interviews is not how this is done. Finally, incompetence and unprofessionalism in the new management have wreaked havoc. In a case involving one of my stories, the entire program came within 19 minutes of not getting on the air at all.

At 60 Minutes, we have fought harder than anyone knows to save the program that became an American icon. We owed that to our millions of viewers. I am deeply moved by the thousands of wishes we have received to “keep up the good fight.” Most of the men and women of CBS News are still in that fight. But now the collapse of values at the top has become untenable. The leadership of 60 Minutes is no longer recognizable. The principles I hold dear are gone, and so I must leave as well.

I depart after 37 years at CBS with one emotion—a heart brimming with gratitude for the men and women of CBS News who encouraged and enriched my work, very often at the risk of their own lives. I pray for a day when those people and their ideals are honored again—a day when sanity, competence, and courage return.

In the same way *courts* are criticizing DOJ and questioning whether the presumption of regularity still exists, you can't have SCOTUS doing 180s on three-year-old precedent! Especially when frowny face John Roberts claims they are not political actors!!

[National Homelessness Law Center @homeless_law]

BREAKING: The Louisiana Senate passed a disturbing anti-homeless bill that pushes homeless people into jails, forced treatment, and unpaid labor. Hours earlier, the same lawmakers voted to give themselves $1,000 to cover housing expenses, recognizing housing is too expensive.
