Sterling Hayden was born on 3/26/16

He was an excellent actor. Try The Killing or Johnny Guitar.

1. Johnny Guitar, one of the greatest, hippest, most vulnerable leading man's performances ever; out-Mitchums Mitchum and out-Deans Dean. https://t.co/WbIhvwUcR0

Tweets on the Washington Post coverage of AR-15s

I encourage you to subscribe to the Post.

Read this article graphically explaining how AR-15s are far more dangerous than handguns.

Then recall Brett Kavanaugh's claim: "It is difficult to make the case that semi-automatic rifles are significantly more dangerous than semi-automatic handguns."https://t.co/c3n18otdSX

The AR-15 is the best-selling rifle in the United States.

It also has become a stark symbol of the nation’s gun violence epidemic.

Ten of the 17 deadliest U.S. mass shootings since 2012 have involved AR-15-style guns. https://t.co/i0BQHjEx1k

MAYODAN, N.C. — “You’re in the middle of a very pro-gun world.” @jdawsey1 and I spent several weeks chronicling what happens when a AR-15 factory moves into a small town. https://t.co/4ZEIJBhaBs

Compared with Americans as a whole, AR-15 owners are significantly more likely to be White, male and between the ages 40 and 65. They’re also more likely to have higher incomes, to have served in the military and to be Republican. https://t.co/HOIA6kDVP4

Why do Americans own AR-15s? The Washington Post and @Ipsosus asked nearly 400 AR-15 owners to explain their reasons for having the weapon, what they use it for and how often they fire it. (@emgusk @aadittambe @jongerberg Washington Post) Details: https://t.co/LfFZyn0sfW pic.twitter.com/4HtodNvuNZ

Republicans will continue to block gun safety

They won’t care that kids were killed today because they didn’t really care when kids were killed in Sandy Hook, Parkland and Uvalde.

There is no reason for private citizens to own assault rifles.

"A report issued in May…analyzed FBI crime data in 271 American cities from 2020 and found that guns stolen from vehicles have become the nation’s largest source of stolen firearms — with an estimated 40,000 guns stolen from cars in those cities alone." https://t.co/CDy21a4hn8.

Bobby Bonilla is not the only retired baseball player still getting paid

Bonilla’s contract is famous but he’s not alone.

About 50% of the contract Griffey Jr. signed w/ the Reds was deferred from 2009 to 2024. Among other MLB retied players still being paid.

This will be the first year Bruce Sutter won’t be on the Braves payroll, he hasn’t played for them since 1991. He’s been receiving 1.2 million from them until 2022, and on top of that, when the contract ended he got another 9.1 million dollars pic.twitter.com/kJQEgsPjLA

Tweets on decline us US life expectancy

Americans’ life expectancy is plummeting. The graphic is stunning.

The deeply disturbing decline in U.S. life expectancy continues: 78.8 in 2019 to 76.1 in 2021. What's not highlighted here are the unsettling disparities in life expectancy by race/ethnicity 👇 The need for transformational policymaking is now. https://t.co/DjXtxhDyfI pic.twitter.com/UKQ97uA7qR

Covers: Don’t Play That Song (You Lied)

“Don’t Play That Song (You Lied)” was a 1962 hit for Ben E. King. Aretha Franklin’s 1970 version was also popular.

Polls show that the GOP is a Trump cult

The poll without Trump shows how much of a cult of personality the GOP is now. Trump, Jr. is in second and he has never even run for office. I bet he runs in the future.

Analysis: Trump’s not only leading, he’s leading with those more likely to vote https://t.co/jt7NXUeRpE

I think it's very possible the 2024 GOP primary ends up being a dud & Trump wins easily thanks to a combination of the base still loving him & other contenders being complete cowards. He's already over 50%, so even if a consensus non-Trump candidate emerges it might be too late. pic.twitter.com/escEDYL1Qa

Why we’re still stuck in Trump’s world. The GOP electorate & the nature of the places they represent push party leaders toward timidity. Until they discover the fortitude to defy the incentives, Trump’s neuroses will dominate our politics.
