I like leaders who are not afraid of the rain:
So later today, Lockheed-Martin here in Colorado and NASA are live streaming OSIRIS-REx scooping a sample from asteroid Bennu. I’ll try and put up a post around that time if my day doesn’t go sideways.
In other news, a new duck hut is on the way and hilarity will ensue as I try and put it together and the ducks reject it (because my ducks HATE change – I can’t even move their feeding station). There will NOT be a live stream of this event.

It’s in these moments that our shared humanity and belief in our own power to bring about change guides us forward. That’s what I saw on the ground in Flint, Oakland Country, and Detroit earlier this week. pic.twitter.com/mayTcWJwG4

This is a good article.

the story behind this is actually quite touching, but I do hope that when, god willing, biden gets elected, he puts up a big "you can't soar with the eagles when you're surrounded by turkeys" poster in the oval office

Nearly nine out of 10 Democrats approve of Kamala Harris as their party’s vice presidential nominee, and she is more popular than presidential candidate Joe Biden among women, young voters and some Republicans, according to a @Reuters /Ipsos poll https://t.co/3ugos6upH9

Reporter: Do you regret all of the lying that you have done to the American people?
President Trump: What?

*silence*
Then, President Trump doesn't answer and moves on to the next reporter.

(Apparently it was HuffPost‘s S.V. Date. Wish the next reporter had followed up!)
One final thing: Stop demanding that Democrats DO SOMETHING.
There's an election in less than three months.
It's not about the Democrats doing something.
It's our turn.
We are the ones we've been waiting for.

The Senate is at an impasse over a widely backed bill to designate lynching as a federal hate crime. Raw feelings were evident as Sen. Rand Paul — who is single-handedly holding up the bill — sought changes as a condition of allowing it to pass. https://t.co/ZSGBeUHkuD

Rand Paul always figures out a way to asshole his way into an insane news cycle.

Senator Aqua Buddha's gift for seizing upon even the slightest chance at being a colossal public dick is positively otherworldly. https://t.co/RdimPAA6xS

… (It’s worth noting that Aqua Buddha’s standard for what constitutes “lynching” is taken almost word-for-word from the Bush Administration’s standard for what constitutes “torture,” and we all know how well that standard worked out.)
This, of course, is precisely the right moment in time to block an anti-lynching bill, given what happened in Minneapolis and subsequent events. And, of course, the Congress has been trying and failing to get its act together on an anti-lynching bill for only over a century. How freaking hard can this be in 2020? Don’t answer that.

Lynching isn’t just a part of our past. Ahmaud Arbery was murdered just 3 months ago. And Senator @RandPaul is blocking our bill to make lynching a federal crime. pic.twitter.com/p5Lk8PJUph

Kamala Harris Is Said to Be Weighing an Endorsement of Joe Biden – The New York Times https://t.co/jWC2uEseZj
— Kasie Hunt (@kasie) January 24, 2020
Hardly a shocker, but IMO a choice between Biden/Harris and Warren/Castro would actually be reason for hope.
… An endorsement by Ms. Harris, if she wades into the primary race at all, would be unlikely to happen until after the Senate impeachment trial, said the officials, who spoke on the condition of anonymity to discuss private conversations.
Yet she and Mr. Biden, the former vice president, have remained in contact since she exited the race and had a long conversation in the immediate aftermath of her departure…
Democrats close to Ms. Harris said she wanted to carefully consider the potential impact of her endorsement; was mindful that two of her female colleagues, Senators Amy Klobuchar of Minnesota and Elizabeth Warren of Massachusetts, were still in the race; and was uneasy about the prospect of backing a candidate only to see him or her lose California…
At the outset of the Democratic contest, they were collegial with each other. That was in large part because Ms. Harris served as state attorney general in California at the same time that Mr. Biden’s son Beau was attorney general of Delaware, and the two young, ambitious Democrats had bonded. (Beau Biden died in 2015.)…
