A great legacy in my view. Public service broadcasting, bringing ideas and knowledge to millions, free to hear and universally available. Year in, year out. Only the BBC would enable this.

Fellow NSA - National Security Agency veterans. Look at what’s happened at the National Cryptologic Museum. They covered up with brown paper the photos of Women in American Cryptology. All in response to President Trump’s anti-diversity executive order.

2. Senate Dems play constitutional hardball and obstruct everything
3. State AGs litigate (and prosecute) everything they can
4. Citizens march en mass

It's going to be wild, the drumbeat of crimes the J6 pardonees will be committing in the next few years. Reporters need to be on top of this.

Can you read cursive? It's a superpower the National Archives is looking for.

Stop worrying that the pages aren't good enough.
If they aren't good enough, you'll make them good enough when you edit. Sometimes, you have to see a thing on the page before you know exactly what it is supposed to be.
The rights words often only come after the wrong ones.

I can’t tell you how different it is on X now after so many people have left. I have always followed mostly right-wing accounts because I cover them, and they are running out of people to pick fights with. So they’re just mostly fighting with each other.

I have shared the same bathroom with Sarah McBride on several occasions, and she never once made me uncomfortable. She did however help me fix my makeup. That congresswoman knows how to blend her foundation, which is more than I can say about Donald Trump.
