Let me just say as a parent trying to explain "partition" in Ireland to my kids, #msmarvel did in roughly 90 minutes what I haven't been able to do in a decade. AND they did it with a more complicated part of the British Empire.

Sir, I know with whom you have shared a golf course. That's an indictment.
During my tenure as a general reporter in Rutherford County, I walked away from a political dinner believing Mark Meadows to be the slimiest, most hucksterish, most self-serving politician I’d ever encountered. Welp. Radar works.

In an unprecedented move, a group of Republican leaders — including a number of former officials who've been stalwarts of Pennsylvania's GOP establishment for decades — is bucking their party to endorse Democrat Josh Shapiro for governor. bit.ly/3RcCAX0

One of the most important things an American President does is to explain to Americans and the world what to think about an urgent global crisis — and what to do about it.

Big, positive move by @CapitalOne! Our research shows that overdraft fees are overwhelmingly assessed on those already struggling financially. Overall, $11.8B of the $12.4B in 2020 overdraft fees were on those Financially Vulnerable or Coping hubs.li/Q0104ykB0

We're pleased to share 11 awards in the CoPro2.0 initiative. In June, @kresgedn issued a call to fund work to strengthen and scale equitable, financially sustainable free #comm_college programs. Today we announce the $2.5 million in grants to do just that. #freecollege #equity

Some pig.
TRAFFIC: Two lanes are closed at Old York Rd. at Earnest Dr. in York because… and we’re not kidding… a large pig blocking the road & causing onlooker delays. We’re there making sure it’s safe until we can find the owner or Animal Control can round him up. #YCSONews #Traffic

Stunning that the poster child for toxic masculinity behaves badly, and that his followers defend him.
This is a really upsetting, well reported story. And judging by the replies—there are way too many people who still don’t understand the concept of consent.

Spent the morning getting family businesses funded, now tuning in to the #OFNConf. It's a pretty good day in the Community Development world.
