JOURNALISM with 3 graded stakes wins, will be celebrated in the Winner's Circle if he clears in this crowded field. BURNHAM SQUARE came up to win the Bluegrass Stakes, and can cover this added distance. SOVEREIGNTY has 2 graded stakes wins, needs to rebound from a Florida Derby loss. #KentuckyDerby🏇

On this day, March 29th, in 1886, John Pemberton brewed the first batch of a non-alcholic wine alternative, later named Coca-Cola. (National Have a Coke Day is celebrated annually on May 8th, the date in 1886 when Coca-Cola went on sale for the first time as a tonic during the temperance movement.)

Considered a child prodigy, U.S. Supreme Court Justice John Archibald Campbell graduated from the University of Georgia at the age of 14, then studied at the United States Military Academy for three years, withdrawing upon his father's death.

Just finished #LongBrightRiver. Great acting, decent story (although they could've omitted some plot points). 78/100. 👍

Gov. Andy Beshear of Kentucky sharply disagreed with a decision by Gov. Gavin Newsom of California to host Steve Bannon on Newsom’s new podcast this week, saying Bannon’s voice should not be elevated “on any platform ever, anywhere.”

According to the Oxford English Dictionary, the longest palindrome is the 12-letter “tattarrattat,” coined by author James Joyce as an onomatopoeic term for the sound of someone knocking on a door. But 7 letter palindromes are more common. "Racecar" and "rotator" being obvious examples. babbel.com

Hmmmm ….

US Marshals warned federal judges of unusually high threat levels as Elon Musk and other Trump administration allies ramp up efforts to discredit judges who stand in the way of White House efforts to slash federal jobs and programs, said several judges with knowledge of the warnings reut.rs/4i0PiVK

I'm not sure Speaker Johnson is going to make it thru this speech without melting in an ecstatic climax of emotion. He's embarrassing. #StateOfTheUnion

I think this must be the first time he's actually read this trash speech. He seems to pause and repeat some of the lines that he is particularly fond of. #LiarInChief #StateOfTheUnion

“Decorum in the House!” from the party that pardoned their buddies who beat cops, shit on the floor, wiped with the curtains and dragged a Confederate flag through the halls of Congress. #SOTU

These people that he's talking about that are over 150 years of age and coded into the Social Security system, are not receiving benefits. They're deceased, and no checks are being sent to them. #LiarInChief #StateOfTheUnion

Tom Friedman: "This is a total perversion of U.S. foreign policy practiced by every president since World War I. My fellow Americans, we are in completely uncharted waters, led by a president, who — well, I cannot believe he is a Russian agent, but he sure plays one on TV.​"

"You Never Can Tell" -- by Chuck Berry

The ultra-wealthy are often the recipients to numerous federal payments and benefits, and do not pay their fair share of the costs of infrastructure, defense, nor government services. It's time to tax them at a fair rate.

TOMORROW- Friday, February 28th is BLACKOUT FRIDAY! If you believe we are in danger of losing our Democracy forever, FIGHT BACK! Let's make our voices heard in numbers too big to ignore. JOIN US if you've had it with Comrade Krasnov. 🤬 🇷🇺 #24HourEconomicBlackout

ICYMI ...

Trump freed 1,500 criminals on his first day in office. Now he just helped Andrew Tate, who is charged with rape and human trafficking. What happened to “law and order”?

Monsters Anti-vax was really the first sign that something was deeply wrong with some selfish Americans. The proud ignorance of an ill-equipped, short-sighted populace. Science and superstition are not equally valid.

When the only tool in your bag is a hammer, everything looks like a nail.

In the ‘Trump Gaza’ AI video posted to Truth Social the president shares his disgusting vision. Apparently after expelling Palestinians he wants to turn Gaza into a resort where he can party with Elon Musk and Netanyahu and be worshipped like a god.

RFK JR on Measles Outbreaks just now: "It is not unusual. There are measles outbreaks every year." It is actually very unusual. This is the first Measles death in the US in 10 years.

Answer: Trump mismanaged the pandemic

Sounds like Goldfinger and his right-hand man Oddjob are about to case the joint.

Mitch McConnell on the Ukraine war: "Blame for this human catastrophe rests solely on Vladimir Putin … If Russian forces laid down their arms, Europe would be at peace. If Ukrainian forces laid down theirs, Putin's aims would not stop … Mistaking this fact is as embarrassing as it is costly."

Disgraceful words from the President of the United States.

It’s the reality TV show/Instagram cabinet, featuring the Transportation Secretary heading to a car race in FL while Kentucky was a disaster site with at least 9 people dead.

Our nation's federal employees are more than just numbers on a spreadsheet. They are vital members of our community. They make our government actually work for people. Remember this.

Thank you to every single first responder, our Kentucky State Police, Kentucky National Guard and National Guard members from other states, our Kentucky Transportation Cabinet crew members, volunteers and more. You are all heroes. Your efforts are saving lives, and all of Kentucky is grateful.

Danielle Sassoon resigned rather than carry out the Trump administration's order to drop corruption charges against New York City’s mayor, Eric Adams, setting off other resignations within the Justice Department and standing up for the independence that has defined her Manhattan office for decades.

Proud of prosecutors in SDNY and Washington who resigned rather than carry out DAG Emil Bove’s order to dismiss indictment against NYC Mayor Eric Adams. Integrity > politics and careerism.
