There's an insurance crisis in America's big population states. CA-TX-FL are losing insurance at an alarming rate. Climate change is the common denominator. houstonchronicle.com/business/artic…

This piece by @jilltucker detailing how a Ukrainian refugee found a SF middle school more traumatic than a warzone is worth your time. Schools, specifically middle schools are a mess post COVID lockdowns. Should be a national issue. sfchronicle.com/bayarea/articl… Sobering stats

If we’re talking late 90s movies about asteroids hitting earth tonight “Deep Impact” was much better than “Armageddon.” ☄️ Tea Leoni as a msnbc reporter. Biggest moment for the network at that time apnews.com/article/5a8b74…

I usually don’t touch this but it’s not that hard. Just go back to the old format. Guest in studio. 30 minutes 1 on 1 grilling or 1 on 2 moderated debate in a discussion style. Then a round table of JOURNALISTS that recap the week’s news and previews the next. Be slow. Many journalists want to do this but the suits always want to be “fresh” “hip” “wired” etc. Seeking to rebrand when it’s not necessary. “60 Minutes” hasn’t changed in years. Why? It’s dependable and solid. Sunday shows can be that.

Important to remember re immigration, there’s no “border-security” that’ll satisfy the #GOP. 9 years ago, Senate passed immigration reform 68-32 with 14 GOP votes! GOP Senator who negotiated the border security called it “overkill.” nbcnews.com/news/amp/wbna5… Nevertheless McConnell and his team said it wasn’t enough. House GOP Leadership agreed and they killed the bill. politico.com/story/2013/06/… Image

Showing Josh Hawley running in fear from the mob after giving them his faux macho fist pump did not necessarily need to be included but it made the close. #January6th “You just summed up your entire sorry career here in one sentence! If you had a tenth of the heart of Ruettiger, you'd have made All-American by now! As it is, you just went from third team to the prep team! Get out of here!”

Something that was kicked around in 2013 by GOP was the idea of “local control.” Split POTUS electoral votes by Congressional districts. Keep an eye on it. slate.com/news-and-polit… In Wisconsin there’s a bill to do just that wisconsinexaminer.com/2021/01/08/gop…

The story of the #Commanders over the last 25 years is one of the oddest downfalls in American history. The nail in the coffin being a defensive coordinator claiming an insurrectionist attack on the Capitol was a "dust-up" while the team is being investigated by Congress! There is no "bingo card" for this franchise because there is no bottom. But no billion dollar company or institution has had a weirder spiral towards to the bottom. From selling stale peanuts from a defunct airline, suing an elderly season ticket holder to cheerleader harassment.

On #EarthDay I’m thrilled to announce, Shuggie’s, a restaurant I invested in located in SF, is open for business! Shuggie’s is dedicated to fighting climate change by serving upcycled food waste. Food waste is a major cause of greenhouse gas emissions. sf.eater.com/2022/4/15/2302… Per the @sfchronicle sfchronicle.com/food/restauran…

Saw #JackWhite at @TheAnthemDC last night. It was great. The best part—NO PHONES allowed. Upon entry they go into a Yondr pouch which is closed upon entry opened at exit. Music was better. Atmosphere was better. You ingested the entirety of the experience as a collective whole. Every artist with clout should do this. Popular restaurants should do this. People having weddings should do this. Hell I might buy some Yondr pouches for my next game watch. Live in the now!

Both parties need to ditch Iowa first. Way past time. NH too. Need states with more diverse people and economies. A state like IOWA should hold NO power in a Democratic primary. It’s quite red now. It’s silly. It’s like the GOP starting off in CT.

From my intrepid mother @maureen_orth “When I first met him, in September 2000, Putin was at a very different table, in a private room at New York’s 21 Club, at a dinner hosted by Tom Brokaw” vanityfair.com/news/2022/03/p… “I learned about two qualities that defined him: the price he put on loyalty, and his reverence for the motherland, which was fueled by a deep resentment for the humiliation that he and his close circle of former KGB agents believed had been visited upon them by the U.S.”

Tom Brady not mentioning NE ONCE…one single time…in his long winded retirement statement is so incredibly fantastic. Greatest “you’re welcome” of all time. All those years of hero worship and not even an acknowledgement. Just a stunning rebuke of “The Patriot Way” the entire region and fanbase.

Has Congress had a single hearing about the Metaverse? If polled right now I’d guess 80% wouldn’t know what it is. Probably should get on it rollingstone.com/culture/cultur… People are dropping the cost of a real house $450K to speculate on land in virtual worlds. Billion dollar corporations rushing into the marketplace. Is there any semblance of regulation?

Fun exercise—if you grew up as a kid in the early 90s watching the #Braves on TBS because you were a MLB addict—how many players from that golden era can you name without Google? 1991-1995. I got 15. Otis Nixon. Terry Pendleton. Sid Bream. David Justice. Greg Olson. Maddux, Glavine, Avery, Smoltz, Kent Merker, Mark Wohlers. Mark Lemke. Jeff Blauser. Ron Gant. Brian Hunter.

Morning @tedcruz —I know facts are foreign in your office BUT #Nantucket public schools are now majority minority. “The transformation has been driven largely by families arriving on the island from Central America, in particular El Salvador” n-magazine.com/learning-curve/ Nantucket has a long history of welcoming people from all backgrounds. Including present day— “Today, more than eleven different languages and seventeen different countries are represented within Nantucket’s schools.”
