It all started with a dance to "Earth Angel" at a Brooklyn College gathering. Marc & I met that night, and 64 years later, we're still dancing through life together. From college sweethearts to a lifetime of love, family, and shared memories. #IFoundLoveatBrooklynCollege 💕
The United States Senate has never had two Black women serving at the same time in the history of this country.
Tonight, that changes.
Congratulations to my sisters @AlsobrooksForMD and @LisaBRochester on making HERSTORY!
Lisa Blunt Rochester won election to the U.S. Senate from Delaware, becoming the state's first Black and first woman to serve in the role.
She is the fourth-ever Black woman to serve in the Senate.
My anecdotal experience is that the Trump era has given a fair number of conservative suburban men self-permission to unfilter about gender and sexuality, at least in private conversation. I've heard the word "faggot" more in the last three months than anytime since the 90s.
So obvious why the first Trump term doesn’t indicate how the second one would go.
His VP and half his cabinet can’t bring themselves to endorse him. “Both his former chief-of-staff and former head of the joint chiefs call him a fascist.”
None of these restraints will be around.
NEW — Another scoop and an interesting update on the Elon Musk's voter turnout operation in Michigan.
The entire group of Black, mostly out-of-state door knockers got fired with hours of the @WIRED U-Haul article dropping on Wednesday. New story includes:
- One of the door knockers from Florida going on the record about her experience
- A harrowing escape
- The first on-the-record acknowledgement of the seatless vans from the subcontractor
- Door knockers left stranded in Michigan & without pay, until... (read all the way to the end, trust me)

That is most certainly not all he's saying. This is what he literally said:
“Let’s put her with a rifle standing there with nine barrels shooting at her, okay? Let’s see how she feels about it, you know, when the guns are trained on her face.”
The former president -- up for reelection in four days --was fantasized in public about the death of his chief critic. It's dangerous. And no additional context can make it better. He didn't say "firing squad" as Jonah correctly notes, but that's what he described.
For years, Trump has talked about getting revenge on his political opponents and advocated and defended violence. He's said they're more dangerous than America's enemies abroad. He's repeatedly called for them to be tried for treason. And, of course, he is responsible for the attacks on the Capitol and those who tried to defend it on January 6th.
Most of the Republicans who offered their unqualified condemnation of his words and actions on that day, are now telling us he needs to be reelected.
An utter disgrace.
@pamsson the racist comic is too unfathomable. Also his jokes were so offensive and jokes a racist comic would make 50 years ago just awful. how did they let him perform. also how does someone see that and say hey sure this guy still has my vote. well i know why but still
it's funny how politically homeless operation warp speed is. arguably the biggest trump administration accomplishment and now they're saying rfk jr will be the health czar.
