More Florida BS: The group representing supervisors of public school libraries is asking DeSantis admin to confirm in writing that Don't Say Gay and Stop Woke laws don't apply to libraries. They haven't, prompting fears that libraries are afoul of law:

From the moment I met Ron, I knew he was a once-in-a-generation talent with fierce intellect and heart. Thank you, Ron and the entire Klain family, for your commitment all these years. Our progress will be the legacy of this White House team, working under Ron’s leadership.

Of the 40 or so relatives my family lost in the Holocaust, my father's uncles, aunts and cousins, cousins of my mother, how many of the neverborn are we to mourn? Scores upon scores? Hundreds upon hundreds? The majority of the family I should have had are the offspring of ghosts.

There are many kinds of ghosts. There are those who lived and died, some murdered like these children. And then there are the children and grandchildren they would have had, the ones who never lived at all. When we commemorate the Holocaust, don't forget them.

The explosive revelation that FBI cyber intelligence spy McGonigal was on the take from the Russian oligarch behind Putin’s disinformation campaign against America illuminates more about how Trump came to power, why he shook down Zelensky, and Putin’s imperialist war on Ukraine.

In April 2016, I broke the story of Trump and Putin, using Russian open sources. Afterwards, I heard vague intimations that something was awry in the FBI in New York, specifically counter-intelligence and cyber. We now have a suggestion as to why. 0/20

After Russia invaded Crimea in 2014, it hacked Ukraine’s power grid. A Russian-speaking hacker operation hacked Ukraine’s election reporting system. Putin wanted sanctions lifted w/o giving up Crimea. For that, he needed a friend in the White House.

"Of the 13, six were put to death after Trump lost the election, his Justice Department accelerating the schedule to ensure they would die before the incoming administration could intercede."

My team & I were talking about this AM. A lot of takeaways about him like being a great manager, visionary, steady, quick to reply to emails and all that is great but just as impactful was to observe HOW he did it: with great generosity and kindness to all. Thank you, Ron.

Joe Biden praised Ron Klain today not only for his extraordinary abilities as WH chief but for his “big heart.” Biden’s right. Klain disproves Richard Nixon’s theory that a great chief of staff has to be a “son of a bitch.”

The more I learn about Trump's last weeks in office-& I wrote a book (American Resistance) that led me to interview scores of administration officials from that period-the more that it reminds me of the Hitler in the bunker scenes in the movie "Downfall."

"Almost none of the conditions that led Obama to negotiate in 2011 are present today. This helps explain why Biden is rejecting Republican demands, but also why the risk of a cataclysmic default is even greater now than it was then."

@POTUS has already made his most important domestic policy decision of 2023: not to negotiate w/House Rs over raising the #DebtCeiling. His strategy is rooted in Obama's experience when he made the opposite choice. Here's the inside story of that history. theatlantic.com/politics/archi

We pay a price every day due to the fact that neither Donald Trump nor most of those close to him have paid a price for their crimes. Our politics becomes more dysfunctional, our society more divided, extremism & hate are more widely accepted & our democracy is at greater risk.
