Good morning! I'll be playing with the Galveston Symphony this afternoon, in their annual Juneteenth concert. Juneteenth celebrates the final word of emancipation of the slaves reaching Texas. The proclamation was read at the Ashton Villa, just blocks from our concert hall.

I like @RepJeffries, but my goodness the "time" was months ago.
Asked about a Dem response to a Rep. Nadler aide being handcuffed by DHS agents inside his congressional office —
@RepJeffries: “We will respond in a time, place, and manner of our choosing… it will be continuous and it will meet the moment.”
BASH: “What does that mean?”

If they had evidence we would see it. They would be waving the evidence around on Fox.
WELKER: Do you have any actual evidence that the people who will lose Medicaid coverage are engaging in fraud?
MIKE JOHNSON: Well, there is a tremendous amount of fraud in Medicaid

Interesting theory. Wouldn't surprise me.
The question that remains is who gave the NYT proof of fElon’s drug use & bladder problems? Did Trump install surveillance cameras in the Mar-a-Lago bungalow that fElon rented just in case their friendship soured & he needed some “leverage” to even the score?

You are correct. I worked in the media. A possible libel suit always was part of your job description. If the news were fake — instead of something he doesn’t like — he would have an army of lawyers on the case. Instead, nothing but blathering.
Exactly! The NYT would never publish a story about fElon’s drug use & related bladder problems w/out having irrefutable proof in the bag. I’m sure the NYT also gave fElon a chance to make a statement before they published this story, which he never did. Ergo his fake news proclamations are pure 💩.

If the NY Times lied deliberately, the self-described most litigious man in America would have a lawsuit. Why doesn’t he sue? Bc the stories are true and he couldn’t withstand discovery. That’s why his “fake news” proclamations are BS and he knows it.

I remember Kirk Gibson’s home run as if it were yesterday. A cloudy and cool Sunday afternoon in Detroit, the same day as the Free Press Marathon. Grrrrr-eat! was our front-page headline in @freepress.bsky.social

As usual, Sir Charles is correct.
"Hey ESPN, I love you guys. Don't try to make Anthony Edwards the face of the NBA. The face of the NBA is Shai Gilgeous-Alexander, Joker, and Giannis. You can't give it to people, they have to take it. And Shai Gilgeous-Alexander has taken it."

They’re performing sex-change operations at school!!!!
Without a doubt, this is the least-informed electorate in American history. The result of that ignorance is two disastrous administrations. And it’s going to get way worse.

Imagine if Barack Obama did this and how they would have lost their collective minds. I realize the evergreen nature of this. If Obama had done *anything* the fake pontiff has done, minds would have been blown forever.
This is blatantly anti-Catholic and makes fun of Catholicism. Will ANYONE in the Catholic Church speak out against it?

I hired Shamus as an intern at the Philadelphia Daily News back in the day. Good guy, hard worker who deserves all of this happiness.
The news media gets a lot of flak for its coverage. But by definition we focus on what’s *new*, novel things that are developing in the world around us.

Shamus Clancy and Ashley Suder were strangers when they met at a Super Bowl championship parade to recreate a famous photo. They were brought together by a viral tweet and a bold suggestion.
