So maybe part of the fear of Bad Bunny is that he's too hot for the Super Bowl? We provide wildly charitable takes on that controversy AND we talk about "zip coding" on this week's #FakeTheNation pod with @ShaqKatzner & @ANDREWTI #podcast #badbunny #superbowl

Three-part democracy series with @TEDTalks & @visitphilly. First episode: Professor Emma Hart on our right to vote—how long it took, and how stubborn we had to be. Democracy isn’t easy, but patriotic Americans like you kept it alive.

About 42 injustices ago, I judged a Stephen Colbert Look Alike contest w/@Peppermint247 & @elizaorlins We awarded Nancy Hamada, an Asian woman w/ a Colbert Essence. I wish they wouldn’t cancel Colbert but they’re afraid of jokes. Thanks to @moveon for making activism fun

The grammar nuts have spoken, and according to the analysis, the semicolon is in decline. This is the first thing to be in decline that isn't depressing. We talk about this much more on #FakeTheNation w/ @bobcrawfordbass of the American History Hotline podcast on @iHeartPodcasts
