@str8edgeracer @Toucherandrich Great show. Thank you for being on. What’s the name of your bug farming business? Best of luck

Below, from the National Archives, Curt Flood’s letter to commissioner Bowie Kuhn, 50 years ago today. (About the palette letterhead: Flood was a gifted painter.)

@tziondavidstarr Agree. If Sanders had let Warren be the progressive standard-bearer, she would have had a better shot

[Dena Grayson, MD, PhD drdenagrayson.bsky.social @DrDenaGrayson]

As an MD, PhD, I can unequivocally state that @realDonaldTrump absolutely does NOT “get it.”

Trump’s LIES and INACTION about the #CoronavirusOutbreak will literally cost lives.🤬

Just what America needs: a privatized Stasi with close ties to Trump.

[Jon Favreau @jonfavs]

The most politically damaging thing he’s said in awhile

[MS NOW @MSNOWNews]

"He's a decent guy ... and it comes through in everything he does," Sen. Warren says of Joe Biden. "I believe that [he] has the same goal. We may have come at this from different directions ... but I don't have any doubt about the sincerity of the goals."

Whoa. When Trump’s lost The Daily Caller...

“But telling Americans that our government is performing amazingly well and everything will be fine seems reckless.”

Trump voters have always dreamed of building a “Tennis Pavillion” at White House. They know how much the “elites” hate tennis.

[Daniel Dale @ddale8]

Trump said again tonight that Obama called Kim Jong Un "many times" but "Kim Jong Un didn't want to talk to him. And me, he wanted to talk to."

Zero evidence Obama called Kim even once. Both former Obama officials and outside experts say this is a lie. https://t.co/SwiK1tentb

It’s nice to think all of us anti-Trump and anti-Sanders suburbanites made a difference Tuesday. But let’s give credit where credit’s due: To African-American voters in South Carolina, who kept their head and stepped up when other Democrats seemed resigned to heading off a cliff.

When I was in 7th grade my history teacher asked if the Boston Massacre was really a massacre. (She wanted the answer to be “no” so she could discuss propaganda)

I said yes—it was the shedding of innocent blood by armed men. (I know; I was already hooked)

And got yelled at. 🙃

This is what an adult in the room would have looked like right now.

NYC hotel doorman: “So it’s Biden, right?”
Me: “Looks like it.”
Doorman: “Good. Got to get rid of Trump. But that other guy? No way. Some crazy socialist? I would have stayed home. Biden’s good.”

We then agreed the Knicks were terrible, and my cab came.

Vox doorman = vox Dei.

[Laurence Tribe 🇺🇦 ⚖️ @tribelaw]

Yes. Barr’s lies to Congress were federal crimes.

[Norman Ornstein @NormOrnstein]

Memo to @MikeBloomberg This would be a good time for a barrage of ads showing Trump promising not to touch Social Security and Medicare followed by Trump promising to cut them. And another on the corruption of his children and his son-in-law. Start early, don't stop!
