LeVar Burton should be the next host of Jeopardy, because the show and its audience deserve someone who has devoted a portion of their life to making the world smarter since the show's brand is the unapologetic display of, and joy for, intelligence.

NBA Players Association speaks up on the nationwide vote suppression bills.
Thank you @TheNBPA for speaking out. Voices of professional athletes are critical in the battle to protect voting rights across the country. https://t.co/aQOnqlbezl
SB 202 not only shrinks access to the ballot box, it gives the state General Assembly control over local electionsāallowing lawmakers to pick their voters.
Biden's delivery is excellent. The message is spot-on, speechwriting is strong. He's hitting it out of the park on infrastructure. "Doing nothing is unacceptable. Inaction is not an option." He speaks to PEOPLE. Let the GOP refuse to play, time and again. Watch their base shrink.
Two bots, one selfie. Greetings from Jezero Crater, where Iāve taken my first selfie of the mission. Iām also watching the #MarsHelicopter Ingenuity as it gets ready for its first flight in a few days. Daring mighty things indeed.

HT to @dennisvaldes for reup. Read about challenge of STRICT voter ID. Difficulties faced arenāt laziness or ineptitude. Just think about how frustrated you get when cable puts you on hold. Now multiply that times fear of poverty & disenfranchisement.šš¾ https://t.co/JG3ixTTeJR
