Mike Bloomberg’s $34M ad buy is the equivalent of the typical American writing a check for $39 bucks.

I’ll say that again.

Mike Bloomberg spending $34M of his own money on politics is like the median American family spending $39 on a movie night.

Sarah Huckabee Sanders defended President Trump after an anonymous author who served in his administration claimed in a new book that officials had to slim down their briefing materials to a single key point in order to make the information easier for the president to understand.

In excerpts of “A Warning” that were published by Business Insider, the author wrote that some officials in the Trump administration were instructed to reduce briefing materials in presentations because Trump “couldn't digest too many slides.”

Sanders, the former White House press secretary, said during an appearance on a Fox News panel on Sunday that she thinks the author behind the book, who served as a senior official in the Trump administration, is a “total coward” and added that she found the book to be “despicable.”

She went on to say that the book reads as being from somebody who is not close to Trump, agreeing with points made by fellow former press secretary Sean Spicer, who had also joined Sanders on the panel.

“It doesn’t read to me like somebody that’s spent real time with the president. You can’t spend the kind of time with him and have that takeaway,” Sanders said.

The Baltimore Museum of Art (BMA) has unveiled plans that it will only buy art by women next year. Right now, only four percent of the museum's collection is by female artists.

As part of the BMA's 2020 Vision initiative, the museum will also showcase at least 20 exhibitions featuring work from a diverse range of women, including Elissa Blount Moorhead.

For Moorhead, the first time she saw herself reflected in a work of art, it wasn't in a museum. It was in her parent's house, going through her dad's record albums. The Funkadelic album covers of Pedro Bell featured black women in futuristic settings, surrounded by bright oranges and blues.

"I just remember looking at the album covers and reading them, and recognizing they were black women," Moorhead said. "And thinking they looked like people I knew, even though they were psychedelic."

Now an established artist, Moorhead's work will be featured in an exhibition next year. Other exhibitions include works already featured by Georgia O'Keeffe, Grace Hartigan and others, as part of the museum's plan.

His campaign is “temporarily renting” the addresses of Moms Demand Action’s supporters.

Former New York City Mayor Michael Bloomberg officially entered the 2020 Democratic race Sunday with a potent asset: The vast trove of email addresses amassed by Moms Demand Action, the nonpartisan gun control advocacy organization hosted under the umbrella of Everytown for Gun Safety, which Bloomberg co-founded and largely finances.

The leaders of Moms Demand Action state chapters and local groups received the news from Aimee Tavares, a senior national organizing director for the group, who sent an email roughly three and a half hours after news broke that Bloomberg would formally announce his candidacy. “Given his unique role in launching Everytown, his leadership in advancing the cause of gun safety, and the significant investments he’s made in helping to grow our movement, Mayor Bloomberg’s campaign is temporarily renting access to our list of supporters so they can communicate his plans for achieving our shared goal of a nation free from gun violence,” Tavares wrote.

Tavares added the campaign would not retain access to Moms Demand Action’s email list at the conclusion of Bloomberg’s bid. Members of the group would be “under no obligation to take any action” in response to Bloomberg’s campaign missives, and that “it is entirely up to our volunteers how they spend their volunteer time in this election and which candidates they choose to support, up and down the ballot,” she wrote.

Tavares’ email gave no endorsement of Bloomberg’s candidacy, but noted that “his participation will ensure that our issue remains at the forefront during the remainder of primary season.” In a Twitter thread announcing his candidacy, Bloomberg shared that he had “founded the largest gun safety group in history” alongside a photo of him posing with Moms Demand Action volunteers.
