This makes me optimistic.

But like what is he wearing?

I get independent journalists journos use them -- and that they are purportedly discreet. But they ain't! It's all I can see when people use them for an interview!

As a professional broadcaster, I have decided for me that the mini-mics have got to go. They are ridiculous. I genuinely hate them.

Whomp. Whomp.

Whew, what a morning!

BC Conservative leader John Rustad confirmed to reporters that MLA phones were searched during a caucus meeting after concern about leaks

"Not every single MLA expressed interest, but the vast majority said, 'Yes, let's do this,'" Rustad said #bcpoli

He would never shut up about it.

The mood at Yankee Stadium is celebratory. The game is 1-1 but you have a feeling their fans believe now. Coming back from 6-1 deficit shows that their team is in any game. And a bullpen game with a bad bullpen like the Jays have has them feeling giddy.

The Blue Jays approach of swinging at the first pitch is not effective tonight. It's putting them either in a hole or it is a pop-up. The Jays have been better at upping the count for starters. So choosing this swing at any first pitch is hurting.

Washington, to be clear.
B.C. don't care.

/3 I've been trying to get the Vice President of Procurement to sign a contract for three weeks and he keeps sending it back with CAPITALISM IS A DEATH CULT scrawled on it. I think it's in blood.

From Donald Trump's Roundtable on Antifa just now —
"Antifa has been around in various iterations for almost 100 years in some instances, going back to the Weimar Republic in Germany."
— special guest Jack Posobiec

My gosh. After the US bombed multiple boats in the middle of the ocean, murdering people on grounds that they were allegedly "carrying drugs," the US Attorney General says "Just like we did with cartels, we're going to take the same approach, President Trump, with Antifa."

I'm a Gen Xer so I don't know the difference between sarcasm and not sarcasm.

just talked to Gov. Pritzker who dared President Trump to “come and get me” after POTUS threatened him with arrest. But Pritzker said he thinks Trump will chicken out.

*this was 17 years ago and still sticks with me as a generous act. Even small acts of kindness can stay with people.

Jay, I remember being a J student in the UK and having a question about media transparency. I'd heard about you as a big thinker on this topic from my prof and thought I would take a chance and email you a question. I had zero expectations you would answer. But you did! I am grateful to this day.

We are talking road rage on BC Today. I love the topic because it is all the aggressions at once.

Isn't Miami a "gay city". How does this go over with a significant part of the voting base?

I might be wrong, but I think their X bubbles have led them to overestimate their own popularity and how much power over the public they've actually consolidated
