👋🏻 I am leaving POLITICO today

I’m incredibly grateful for the opp's & lessons learned over 1/4 century covering epic events in DC & across nation. I consider my colleagues among most compassionate & patriotic Americans I know

👉🏼But we need more independent institutions & new ways of delivering facts to more effectively serve you. As we look to our future, what are we to do? How can we turn the news back to you?

I have an idea & soon I’ll tell you more abt it

@Lazarou Why do people always say that? History doesn't care, and they'll be dead, so they sure don't care. If they cared, they'd do the right thing.

ICYMI, Mika and MoJo are kissing Trump's ring again.

I'm so glad I've never watched that show.

But hey, aiding and abetting fascism makes GREAT TV!!! Weeee!

@Lazarou Right, but we'll be dead (after today's history is recorded) too. History isn't alive. History doesn't look kindly or unkindly, it just is. History is stuff that already happened, so how people are remembered just doesn't seem to matter to the bad guys, IMHO. They chose to do what they did, they won't know how they're remembered.

#Biden Allows #Ukraine to Strike Russia With Long-Range U.S. Missiles

🤞🏼 #Biden: I will leave my successor and my country with a strong foundation to build on if they choose to do so. It's true, some may seek to deny or delay the clean energy revolution that's under way in America, but nobody, nobody can reverse it. Nobody. #ClimateCrisis

If Will Bunch wrote it, you should read it.

“They want to shock you. The sex fiend! The dog killer! The Russian asset! The names matter, but as much as what Trump is going for - dominance, not only over Congress but over objective reality

Stop fighting a president when we have a king.” 🎁 https://share.inquirer.com/1cend5

And the next administration shrugs.

“Scientists warn that a key Atlantic current could collapse, among other climate tipping points

A new report describes the dire state of Earth’s snow and ice, suggesting several major tipping points are likelier than scientists once thought.” #ClimateCrisis

Here's my guess of why #Trump picked #Gaetz, beyond wanting a lawless predator like himself as AG. Gaetz is as obsessed with seeking revenge against the #Russia investigation as Trump is.

See how #Trump is protecting us?🤦🏻♀️
