My mom would have turned 69 today. She was only 48 when she died. I mention it to remember her publicly and also to remind everyone (including me) we really don't know how much time we have. Tough to think about, but it's reality. So call your mom tomorrow. (Your grandma, too!)

"Charlie McCarthy is now in the Smithsonian. Ms. Bergen wrote about her shock when her father left money in his will to her 'older, all-powerful brother' — the dummy — and not to her."

Candice Bergen, Woman Who’s Had It All (Published 2020)

The wryest of Hollywood royals recalls life with Daddy’s dummy, marriage to Louis Malle and a comedic career for the ages.

. @MikeBloomberg bristled when I asked about fears he may split the moderate vote, hurting Biden or Buttigieg "Am I not as important to this country? I’ve been an American for longer than Mayor Pete has. I’ve been an American for longer than Joe Biden has"

VP Raimondo? Bloomberg, gov keep the door open

I've gotten tested 2x this month at the RI Convention Center drive-thru. Both times seamless, and both times I got back my results in less than 12 hours - PCR tests, not rapid. (Negative! Whew!) Thank you to the @RINationalGuard @RIHealth folks who are doing this for all of us.

New step by @SenWhitehouse tonight after the @propublica follow-up revealing Harlow bought property from Thomas but the justice didn't disclose

Billionaire Harlan Crow Bought Property From Clarence Thomas. The Justice Didn’t Disclose the Deal.

The transaction is the first known instance of money flowing from Crow to the Supreme Court justice. The sale netted the GOP megadonor two vacant lots and the house where Thomas’ mother was living.

It would be best for the Chief Justice to commence a proper investigation, but after a week of silence from the Court and this latest disturbing reporting, I’m urging the Judicial Conference to step in and refer Justice Thomas to the Attorney General for investigation.

Something alarming I realized covering the #MA04 race for the last year: the decimation of local news is only going to magnify the power of money in politics. Scrappy campaigns can overcome a lack of funds with earned media - but what happens when there's not much media to earn?
