My St. Louis family is fine, although without electricity. I love my hometown and it saddens me to see such devastation. I hope affected families find shelter, help, and a way forward.

"For me, the answer now lies in refusal, the withdrawal of participation from systems that require dishonesty as the price of belonging." Today I am resigning from the National Science Board and the Library of Congress Scholars Council. I wrote about my decision in TIME. time.com/7285045/resi...

Alaska Gov. Mike Dunleavy has issued an administrative order with a hiring freeze, travel freeze and freeze on new regulations because of the state's coming budget crunch. He's also said he opposes any new taxes to resolve the crunch — he has preconditions, first. #akleg #Alaska

We've reached the point in our descent into fascism where the Jewish governor's house getting firebombed on Passover by a guy trying to bash his head in with a sledgehammer is overshadowed by the story of the President saying he wants to build foreign gulags for US citizens.

As a PA resident I am saddened and angered at the horrific arson and attack on the Governor’s Mansion while the governor and his family slept. Violence and hatred is never acceptable. Thank you to the first responders and officials for investigating and holding the culprit accountable.

I may be tired and a little hoarse, but as I said again and again on the Senate floor, this is a moment where we cannot afford to be silent, when we must speak up.

Lawrence @lastword.msnbc.com is back! We’ve missed you! And wasn’t it great to see @booker.senate.gov on @maddow.msnbc.com . His words were moving, remarkable, and truthful. Thank you, Senator Booker.

Today’s favorite quote from “Call the Midwife.” “Life doesn’t take dictation.” Isn’t that the truth.

I just purchased season 1 of West Wing. Don’t we all need Mrs. Landingham in our lives? Looking forward to The Diplomat season 3 when Josh and CJ are reunited. Should be good TV. Now if only Aaron Sorkin could scrip our current debacle and how to get out of it.

Some have disappointed, some have bad policy, some made big mistakes. But I’ve never in my life been ashamed of American leaders. Until today.

@maddow.msnbc.com is presenting interesting data tonight on the felon’s low ratings, and specifically disapproval ratings on economy, his reductions of federal workforce, inflation, and foreign policy. 2025 originators know to move fast; we need to resist! And then I might begin to take a breath.

I don't want my appliances to be connected to the internet. I don't want them to have blinky lights or touch screen controls or be accessible by phone. All I want is for them to do the one thing they are supposed to do, and to beep less. Hear that, manufacturers? Less beeping.

Statement from the Obamas: "Maranatha Baptist Church will be a little quieter on Sundays, but President Carter will never be far away – buried alongside Rosalynn next to a willow tree down the road, his memory calling all of us to heed our better angels."

My greatest wish is that Jimmy is holding hands with Rosalynn tonight. Thank you, #presidentcarter, for your service, integrity, honesty, and support for peace and human rights. May your family be blessed with memories of your love for them and our Country.

Each am over coffee I read @joycewhitevance.bsky.social and @hcrichardson.bsky.social. Both readings are exceptional, but HCR’s has me in tears. How do we grapple with the ugliest events in our history? She notes the anniversary of Wounded Knee Massacre when soldiers killed 300 Lakota people.
