Radio news works harder and faster and in the clothes they're wearing news breaks. I tip my cap. When I'm wearing one. I wish someone here gave her their damn coat.
When a story beckons, a good reporter runs towards it -- even if she is wearng a bathrobe and slippers. All hail Sam Stroozas of Minnesota Public Radio. www.mpr.org/stories/2026...

I've told you about the One Troublesome Neighbor at my very small condo building. I've apparently gone at her so hard with Questions, Facts, & Documentation, she will no longer attend meetings with me in the room. Governors in several states feel the same way. #stillgotit #transferrableskills

Hello! I am the Secretary of War! (Ok, Defense) There is a TOP SECRET weapon we have that can melt drones in the sky! It's very secret so what we're going to do is shut down airspace at a major state airport during school vacation week with no notice so we, too, can have have fun. Melting drones!

Markwayne Mullin defends "show me your papers": "If you're here legally, there's nothing to hide. Most people already are walking around with a government-issued ID, meaning your Real ID or your driver's license. If you go board a train here, you gotta show your ID."
