They did this for a reason. Not necessarily to give Trump ultimate power, though Republicans are okay with that. It’s about the fact that he was caught manipulating an election, something that they too would like to continue doing without interruption.https://rol.st/36BAG9L

JLO and her daughter leading "Let's Get Loud" with all girls and kids in cages. That's a fucking MOMENT.

I love
@lyzl’s political reporting because she highlights issues of urgent importance—especially to women—that no one else is writing about. A fascinating look at how a lack of childcare impacts the Iowa caucuses

Almost exactly a year ago, I wrote about how Trump used the black people whose sentences he commuted. He did it again for a Super Bowl audience. He’ll keep doing it all throughout 2020. Understand it for what it is.https://twitter.com/jamilsmith/status/1093279422294024192 …

Andy Reid is one of the greatest coaches in NFL history, and I’m really happy that everyone will have to acknowlwdge that now.

Watching Michael Bloomberg use Black lives lost to gun violence as the center of his presidential campaign ads when he was also a major proponent of Stop and Frisk, one of the most anti-Black agendas in history is certainly something.

Steyer & Bloomberg have spent a collective ~$400M of their own money on their campaigns so far. Can you imagine the sea change if Black-led orgs had that kind of capital to devote to political education, voting rights work, voter mobilization & political infrastructure building?

Joaquin Phoenix’s BAFTA speech called out the awards for its historical whiteness — and himself and the industry for complicity with systemic racism, saying it was on white people to dismantle that system from which they benefit. He is correct, of course.pic.twitter.com/6xulkDEVAg

One Super Bowl team caricatures indigenous people. The other is named for Gold Rushers who helped drive them off their land. “Nostalgic racism, no matter how well intentioned, causes harm to living Native Americans,” writes

$3.4 million to send Trump to Florida so that he can host a Super Bowl party for his paying customers. There is no recourse for this, of course. The headline implies there is somewhere that we can send the bill for it to be paid, even if he paid his debts.https://www.huffpost.com/entry/trump-super-bowl_n_5e3734edc5b611ac94d6b545 …

Why are people sharing this uncorrected (and why did Bloomberg report it as such). Joni Ernst says Biden should be impeached BECAUSE he combatted corruption in accord with Republican views at the time. https://twitter.com/bpolitics/status/1224064753330544641 …

Today during the Super Bowl, the National Football League and its allies will sanitize and co-opt a black protest movement. I refuse to watch that happen before my eyes as if it’s all good. Some things are worth more than an afternoon of football.https://www.washingtonpost.com/outlook/2020/01/31/colin-kaepernicks-old-team-is-super-bowl-nfl-has-erased-him/ …

“They’re trying to erase him,” said New York Giants safety Michael Thomas, a vice president with the NFL Players Association. “Even if you’re not going to talk about the controversy, at least talk about what he did on the field—which was electrifying.”https://www.wsj.com/articles/colin-kaepernicks-glaring-absence-at-the-super-bowl-11580582701 …

It is malpractice, particularly under the banner of “news analysis,” to fail to be explicit when calling out things like Trump’s expected bad-faith exploitation of his rigged impeachment acquittal and his illegitimate branding of Democrats as “socialists.”https://nyti.ms/2S9BzkP

Lamar Alexander’s explanation for refusing to advance President Trump’s impeachment trial is that maybe he didn’t know how to call his own Attorney General. Well, Senator—there was a remedy for dealing with such rank incompetence in the job, and it was an impeachment trial. Alas.https://twitter.com/atrupar/status/1223986573877956609 …

Endorsements or positive comments from neither Maher nor Rogan should not be elevated by any candidate seeking the Democratic nomination for president. The tone here, though,
