One year into Trump’s second term, some journalists have been “surprised” by the administration’s organized agenda. But Project 2025 was publicly available. Advocacy groups read it and warned us. The press read it and… 🤷♀️ www.readtpa.com/p/this-is-li...
Kansas boasts the biggest ball of twine. Rhode Island? The biggest pile of discarded tires east of the Mississippi. Sounds about right.

This is not #fakenews. The next $2,200 in donations to my nonprofit newsroom @ecorinews.bsky.social will be quadrupled by #Newsmatch and a group of local donors. I keep pinching myself. We've never had a quadruple match. ecori.kindful.com?campaign=138...
