“Hannah Drown, who is working the Lorain beat, told me a while back she has so many stories on her plate that she can’t get to them all.”

I lived in Lorain County for 4 years. (It’s where Oberlin is.) What is going on in Lorain County that y’all need a chatbot to rewrite reporting? Please. Stop it.
“We plan to hire an AI rewrite specialist to ingest the reporting by Hannah and others and use AI to convert it into stories.”

The editor of the Cleveland Plain Dealer said it will use AI to ‘write’ its articles.

I think @wajali.bsky.social was clear. He acknowledges the current fight, but asks @hakeem-jeffries.bsky.social to lead on the long term goal of abolishing ICE. I don’t understand the leader’s reticence on that very simple, and frankly moderate position.
A simple ? from Wajahat Ali pushes Hakeem Jeffries into a crashout:

"Why not lead and abolish ICE? What you're telling us is you want our taxpayer dollars to pay for a lawless masked armed agency to continue terrorizing our cities."

Jeffries: "I don't understand anything you just said to me."

We cannot in all good conscience obey your unjust laws because non-cooperation with evil is as much a moral obligation as is cooperation with good.

Republicans are still trying to pass the SAVE Act—a bill that would make it harder to vote and disenfranchise millions of Americans. Join @redistrictingaction.org and tell your member of Congress to vote no: act.redistrictingaction.org/a/natl-saveact-cte

Today, the Trump administration repealed the endangerment finding: the ruling that served as the basis for limits on tailpipe emissions and power plant rules. Without it, we’ll be less safe, less healthy and less able to fight climate change—all so the fossil fuel industry can make even more money.

I covered a recent vandalism incident at a downtown church:
On the morning of Friday, Feb 6., Associate Minister Josh Rumple arrived at First Congregational Church in downtown Colorado Springs and found the church’s rainbow banner reading “a just world for all” had been torn down. Again.

Barely even news really at this point, but, believe it or not, Rep. Scott Bottoms (R-CO Springs) has said something crazy and unverifiable. He claims there are active pedophile rings in the Colorado House, Senate, and governor's office.

Dr. Oz appears to have invited Jeffrey Epstein to a Valentines Day party in 2016, long after Epstein pleaded guilty to soliciting sex with underage girls.

Epstein survivor Haley Robson: I’m so tired of having this administration just completely dismiss us. They’re supposed to be the party of, you know, family values and protecting children. And I just feel like if that’s the party you are, it seems like Thomas Massie is the only one showing up for it.

Lincoln’s words I come back to right now are

“We cannot escape history…We of this Congress and this administration, will be remembered in spite of ourselves…We know how to save the Union. The world knows we do know how to save it…We shall nobly save or meanly lose the last best hope of earth.”

Breaking WSJ:

The highly classified whistleblower complaint against Director of National Intelligence Tulsi Gabbard is related to a conversation intercepted last spring in which two foreign nationals discussed Jared Kushner, according to U.S. officials familiar with the matter.

Trump nominated a legit white nationalist to a top post at the State Department. I asked him some basic questions about his belief in the “erasure of white culture”. Watch this embarrassing, fumbling answer. Like he has never before been asked to explain his views.

"Previous estimates showed the US economy generated 584,000 jobs in 2025, the first year of Trump’s second term, which was deeply discouraging.

Now, the picture is far worse: The newly revised, final data shows that the U.S. economy actually added only 181,000 jobs..."
