"Tonight an unbelievable **34,000 people** gathered for our Denver rally to take on billionaires and win our country back.

This was the largest political gathering in Denver since Obama in 2008.

Also bigger than the 2024 DNC.

And the largest ever rally in Bernie’s career (and obviously, mine too)."

'The new Accessible Games Initiative has defined a set of 24 accessibility tags that will appear in participating game storefronts and product pages so players can know what features a game has before they buy it. The tags have easy to understand definitions and cover a range of accessibility features games offer, like subtitles, input remapping for controls, text-to-speech and speech-to-text in chat and narrated menus.'

Fun fact: As the Creative Consultant for the show, I actually worked out the (EXTREMELY general) five-season story arc of SGU with Brad Wright between seasons one and two, which would explain why Destiny was out there in the first place and how the show would end and why (and yes, in fact, Eli played a critical role). And when people ask me what that story arc is, I tell them that unfortunately it's covered by an NDA, and then I run before they can tear me limb from limb.

Obama has nothing to say about what Trump is doing, but he did post his NCAA bracket.

Biden has nothing to say about what Trump is doing, but he found time to post about St. Patrick's Day.

Harris has nothing to say about what Trump is doing, but she tweeted to celebrate International Women's Day.

It's not just Schumer. Dems have no idea how to mount a meaningful resistance. It's just BAU with them while the US descends into a Constitutional crisis. Hand the keys of the party to AOC, please!

Reporter note: I specifically asked the Trump admin if its new relationship with Meta meant data sharing, and if (like in 2016) still felt companies with unbreakable encryption (like Apple) should be 'forced or punished'. They had one chilling response.
