On this app I'm like a bird watcher. If i spot a bird that gives me joy, that bird gets my attention (follow). But I barely notice all the sparrows and pigeons constantly buzzing by. I'm hoping to fill my feed (algo seed?) with interesting birds. I search the comments (sky) to find more. Peaceful.

Thanks for this. Any jurors give interviews? I can imagine spending 3 days on this jury. Love the part about the fake cop lying about the exploding sandwich and courtroom laughing at him.
Sandwich verdict wasn’t jury nullification. It was failure to prove the required “reasonable fear of physical injury” in a case where the agent was wearing A BULLETPROOF VEST. The only crime was the waste of resources on this case. My thoughts in @MSNBCDaily.

Opinion | The sandwich thrower was wrong. But Jeanine Pirro was, too.
To establish a forcible assault, jurors were required to find that Dunn caused “reasonable apprehension of immediate bodily harm.” That allegation was laughable.

Heads up: NBC News reports that the White House will allow "anonymous" donors to contribute to Trump's ballroom project. www.nbcnews.com/politics/whi...
White House will allow anonymous donors to contribute to Trump's ballroom project
While the administration has released a list of some donors for the ballroom addition, an aide told NBC News that "donors also have the option to remain anonymous."

Meanwhile over at twidder...the Hate America rally apparently is just a few old white retired people. Lots of mocking posts supported by carefully framed photos of older protesters. So funny, haven't looked on Fox yet but I can imagine what their reporting angle might be.

What a historic day for Chicago and Illinois.
We're breaking ground on the Illinois Quantum and Microelectronic Park — and it begins with the construction of PsiQuantum's facility, where they’ll build a first-of-its-kind quantum computer.

I wondered why Trump feels so strongly about these medical issues. Does anyone truly think it has anything to do with health of the people? Profit for his big $ pals. Of course.
Authoritarian leaders override medical consensus for politics. The U.S. hasn’t had single MMR shots since 2009. Restarting them means new FDA approvals and big government contracts—or imports. More doses sold and a win for manufacturers while kids face higher disease risk waiting for single doses.

Today was my last day at the Eisenhower Library. I came across a 1964 letter Dwight Eisenhower wrote warning against “hate-filled people who set themselves up as super-patriots and, so doing, try to destroy the rights, liberties and opportunities of the average loyal American.” Worth heeding 🗃️

On 3.11.16 Trump was forced to cancel his rally in Chicago because we ran him out of town. Look it up. Now the revenge president wants to do what he does. He may send paid goons but he won't show. We don't like him here and he's too much of a p**sy to show his face here again.
Donald Trump says he is going to deploy the National Guard to Chicago. This is what weak men do to pretend they’re strong.

I grew up in central Pennsylvania coal country in the 1970s and 80s and I remember how my small town had more than one oxygen supply store because so many of my schoolmates’ grandpas were slowly dying in their living rooms from black lung.
struggling with an analogy here but imagine NASA posting a meme about how excited they are to return aviation to the pre-jet age

If you want to delude us then measure the success of Trump Tariffs by gross tax receipts. How idiotic. All our taxes continue to go up JUST BECAUSE of these tariffs. We cannot be this dumb. Mexico didn't pay for the wall and Canada ain't paying the Tariffs. It's rich taking from real Americans.

How is the press hanging on every word or this corrupt hack? Commerce Secretaries of the past 20 years? Carlos Gutiérrez (Bush), Gary F. Locke, John E. Bryson, Penny Pritzker (Obama), Wilbur L. Ross Jr. (Biden) weren't sought out by press at all.
Trump's Commerce Secretary Howard Lutnick just relaxed export restrictions on AI chip manufacturers AMD and Nvidia.
Lutnick's family business empire holds a combined $1.1B stake in both companies.
"Conflict of interest" is an understatement.

What if the "deal" is that JD Vance, or another sycophant, runs for Pres in 2028 and explicitly says "I will be a president in name only and effectively a puppet for King Third Term"? That's the kind of thing Bannon is probably talking about.

There is a policy that requires Noem's personal signature on "every contract over $100k"?? !! How can FEMA (the "E" is for EMERGENCY!!) ever operate with such a ridiculously stupid rule like that.

As a golfer I'm pretty tuned in on most days during the season of upcoming weather forecasts. This past month forecasts have been very off and change a lot during the course of the day. Is this related to Musk budget cuts? It's definitely a thing.
