One of my favorite D’Angelo performances is his tribute to Prince on The Tonight Show.

His version of Sometimes It Snows in April—one of my favorite Prince songs—is absolutely beautiful. It moves me to tears every time. About to go watch it again.

There have been no consistent updates regarding the discovered bodies, and with many of the identities still unconfirmed, questions have been raised about how the mayor could suggest drowning incidents or the involvement of unhoused individuals in placing bodies in the bayou.

To date, Pollard is the only city council member to question the mayor about transparency regarding the recently found bodies. I spoke with Pollard, who noted that community members are seeking answers. (cont.)

During today’s city council meeting, the mayor stated that the discovery of bodies in the bayou may be connected to individuals who decided to take a swim in the bayou and perished, as well as to unhoused individuals who may have placed deceased members of their community in the bayou. (cont.)

Trump announced a deal with Pfizer to lower Medicaid drug prices via a new government-run site, “TrumpRx.” In exchange, Pfizer gets a three-year exemption from upcoming drug import tariffs.

I had to watch the full video of Ted Cruz myself to confirm whether the clips circulating on social media—where he says we should "stop attacking pedophiles"—were edited or missing context, like him quoting someone else. But nope, he actually said it!

JUST IN: Judge Lamberth has *blocked* a new wave of terminations at Voice of America, offering harsh words for Kari Lake and saying the Trump administration’s conduct in his case would support civil contempt proceedings, if only the plaintiffs had asked. storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.us...

NEW: Rachel Maddow drops unseen bodycam footage of feds coordinating the arrest of Newark Mayor Baraka.

I REPEAT: the feds ordered his arrest even though he wasn’t breaking any laws.

Federal agent: “We are arresting the mayor right now per the Deputy Attorney General of the United States.”

The Thursday Murder Club on Netflix is a surprisingly fun murder mystery movie —ended up enjoying it more than I expected!

Please watch Rush! The cinematography in that film is top tier.
