One of my favorite philosophical tenets is that people will agree with you only if they already agree with you. You do not change people's minds. - Frank Zappa https://t.co/rwWMtF3JjW

[Brian Solis @briansolis]

Dream.
Think big, and think pragmatically.
Think fast, and think slow.
Think...differently.
Learn from the past. Learn from the present. Unlearn what doesn't carry you forward.
Anticipate.
Experiment. Learn forward. Learn upward.
Believe.

@BarbMcQuade @woodhouseb @DAGToddBlanche @TheJusticeDept Someone needs to let them know somebody got a hold of DOJ stationery and is sending out crazy shit to embarrass them.

EXCLUSIVE: @SocialSecurity has instructed employees newly assigned to answering phones to tell callers expressing suicidal thoughts that suicide is “one option,” raising concerns from experts who called the approach unorthodox. @EricM_Katz has more. https://t.co/bzCx2JF2c5

@DePasqualePA Not me. Seems like a possible wedge issue next year?

@GarrityForPA Tough needle to thread. I get that you have to out-Mastriano Mastriano for a primary, but Shapiro’s going to beat you over the head with it. All in all, it’s gonna do you more harm than good.

perfect reason to share @delizanickel's piece from last year on two challengers in VA-08 creating their own AI Don Beyer for a "debate."

Everything’s fine though

[PBS News @NewsHour]

The Corporation for Public Broadcasting, which has distributed federal funds to both PBS and NPR for decades, announced Friday that it's shutting down.

The news comes after President Donald Trump recently clawed back more than a billion dollars of funding for public broadcasting.

In a statement, CPB President Patricia Harrison said, "Despite the extraordinary efforts of millions of Americans who called, wrote and petitioned Congress, we now face the difficult reality of closing our operations."

PBS and its stations get around 15% of annual revenue from federal money.

Per @FT "Donald Trump’s new 26 per cent tariff on Indian imports are set to hit the country’s generic drugmakers and will probably increase the price of many of the off-patent drugs that make up the majority of US prescriptions."

[CALL TO ACTIVISM @CalltoActivism]

Trump made a HISTORIC blunder during his speech while bragging he canceled $8 million in funding to turn Mice “transgender.”

The funding was for TRANSGENIC studies, where scientists introduce human disease cells like Alzheimer’s to study a cure. Unreal.
