Big news out of Indiana today as Republican legislators surprise everyone by saying no to Donald Trump.
Each crack in Trump’s facade of inevitability will lead to more. Let’s keep it up!

Can you hit repost? Marjorie Taylor Greene doesn't want you to know the name of her opponent but will try every desperate attempt to save her seat.
My name is Shawn Harris. I am a Democrat, husband, father, Retired Brigadier General, farmer, and I'm running against MTG. Can you share and follow me?

In retrospect, did we really think the Thunder could beat Indiana three times in a row? Including two in Indianapolis? The Pacers are too good for that. But the Thunder are very good at bouncing back. And we’re at home. I like our chances. #ThunderUp

Couple of nice shots of my kiddo playing the game he loves. They were taken by a teammate’s mom.

The Trump Administration Accidentally Texted Me Its War Plans
U.S. national-security leaders included me in a group chat about upcoming military strikes in Yemen. I didn’t think it could be real. Then the bombs started falling.

Caught the band Goodnight Texas in Santa Fe this week. Great show, but to me the highlight was opener Todd Day Wait. His new album is one of the year’s best.

A good rule of thumb for artists: just focus on making your art the best that it can be.
I love this passage about jazz pianist Bill Evans in “3 Shades of Blue.”

So great to hear that my paintings Belle and Winter in Havana have been selected for this year’s Artini event hosted by @AlliedArtsOKC supporting arts organizations throughout Oklahoma. The event takes place May 17 in OKC and is one of the best art events in the state!

Here’s what I would like to see: The next time Trump signs one of his over-sized documents and holds it up, the photographers should just put their cameras in their laps. No photos. It’s the kind of thing that would drive him nuts.
Jim Acosta: I think the AP should consider whether or not to sue the administration… and the rest of the press corps should start seriously considering whether it’s worth sending everyone into the Oval Office, onto Air Force One, or into the briefing room.
