By contrast, JB Pritzker told me that people should flood the No Kings protests precisely in order to let the American people know that something is deeply amiss.

More Dems should be doing this, to send the message widely that we are in real trouble right now.

News: Bari Weiss just sent a memo to staffers at CBS News asking them to produce a memo explaining "how you spend your working hours—and ideally, what you've made (or are making) that you're most proud of."

One CBS News staffer puts it like this to me: "We just got Elon Musked."

Machado issues her first statement since being awarded the Nobel Peace Prize and makes a thinly-veiled appeal to Trump for US intervention in Venezuela:

This recognition of the struggle of all Venezuelans is a boost to conclude our task: to conquer Freedom.
We are on the threshold of victory and today, more than ever, we count on President Trump, the people of the United States, the peoples of Latin America, and the democratic nations of the world as our principal allies to achieve Freedom and democracy.
I dedicate this prize to the suffering people of Venezuela and to President Trump for his decisive support of our cause!

Not the only one 😬 glad they at least have in their bio that they’re a fan account account now. If I remember, they acted like they were the real account for a while and someone added it to one of those Arsenal starter packs so a bunch of people followed bsky.app/profile/zohr...

Caught today’s @arsenalfc.bsky.social match with Spike Lee in Fort Greene (not a sentence I ever thought I'd get to write).

Zohran with his hands in the prayer position, while Spike Lee bangs on the wall behind him.

Zohran, Spike Lee and a big group of Arsenal fans outside Spike's office.

McLaren clinched the F1 constructors' championship with six races still to go.

The numbers are absurd:

▪️ 12 wins
▪️ 28 podiums
▪️ 55 percent of all laps led this season

It might be the most dominant F1 season under current regulations.

✍️ @madelinecoleman.bsky.social

McLaren’s latest F1 title was dominant, by any measure — and more records await

By every metric, McLaren has secured an impressive title-winning season, rivaling Red Bull's recent runs
