Opinion | I Went to Florida to See the 31-Year-Old Candidate Thrilling Gen Z. We’re in Trouble.

Good & frightening reporting by Goldberg. She labels his talk "nationalism tinged with socialism, if you will" and a "sneering, adolescent sort of Nazism." Now do Trump.

Resistance to the SAVE Act crosses party lines. Idaho Secretary of State rejected the DOJ demand to turn over the stat’s unredacted voter roll citing the 1960 Civil Rights Act that does not authorize the Department to require full disclosure on request. bit.ly/4hZ7BK7

Wow, Trump DOES NOT LIKE being confronted with facts, ESPECIALLY from female reporters.

The Civil War and the Limits of Historical Certainty Some thoughts about the importance of contingency in history and the humility necessary to acknowledge it.

This feels like a just indictment of myself and my generation's inaction regarding what has become maga over my adult life.

Context matters just as much as facts. Instead of just checking whether a claim is true, we should consider where it came from, how it’s framed, and what information might be missing. That kind of deeper thinking helps navigate a messy info environment with more clarity.

Heat’s Bam Adebayo drops 83 points, second-highest scoring game in NBA history “I don’t even know how to put this night into words, man,” the Heat big man said of his monster performance Tuesday.

“My teammates (were) very geeked at halftime. To have this moment is surreal, because like I said, man, to be able to do it at home, in front of my mom, in front of my people, in front of the home fans, this is a mark in history that will forever be remembered.” www.nytimes.com/athletic/710...

If Iran does anything that stops the flow of Oil within the Strait of Hormuz, they will be hit by the United States of America TWENTY TIMES HARDER than they have been hit thus far. Additionally, we will take out easily destroyable targets that will make it virtually impossible for Iran to ever be built back, as a Nation, again — Death, Fire, and Fury will reign upon them — But I hope, and pray, that it does not happen! This is a gift from the United States of America to China, and all of those Nations that heavily use the Hormuz Strait. Hopefully, it is a gesture that will be greatly appreciated. Thank you for your attention to this matter! President DONALD J. TRUMP

Trump is completely flailing. He didn't anticipate the economic blowback and now he's trying to undo the past 10 days and contain the damage.

Thanks to the Mayor and all those who contacted his office for getting this bike route reopened.

Who would have guessed that the legal system in America was so fragile that a single crazy president could ignore the whole thing, from the Constitution right down to state laws?
Why does the Supreme Court and Congress let this demented moron act like the dictator of a banana republic?

I could not find a transcript for rump's press conference today. Did rump take questions and if so, did anyone ask about his horribly disrespectful trucker hat during the return of remains ceremony?

Just a reminder that Muslims have been on this continent since the first arrival of non-Indigenous people. They were among the first generation of Americans, and have been here ever since.

If you’re roughly my age, it’s wild to reflect on the optimism for the future Americans felt when Obama was elected — young Americans spontaneously took to the streets to celebrate! — and contrast with what we face today. The falloff over the past 18 years is hard to process.

Iran’s people were facing a horrible shortage of water before the war began. If we are destroying desalination plants and setting fire to Teheran we are committing unfathomable crimes.

Bernard LaFayette, Selma voting rights organizer, dies at 85 Voting rights organizer Bernard LaFayette has died. LaFayette's son says his father died Thursday morning of a heart attack. He was 85.

A great leader lost. RIP Bernard LaFayette. "In his memoir, LaFayette wrote that the ever-present threat of death during those early years of organizing taught him that the value of life “lies not in longevity, but in what people do to give it significance.” apnews.com/article/bern...

Existential projection in progress. Oh, this is an example of why, per the US Constitution, Congress has the responsibility to declare war. F rump, hegseth, and maga lickspittles.

This “it’s not a war but a special military operation” is very Kremlin March 2022. As is the propaganda that we are not starting a war but ending one. As is the confusion of oligarch media as it tries to be faithful in the confusion…

This sucks. Journalists are not just compilers of facts and quotes. We're writers.
If you're a reporter excited about turning copy over to an LLM, do the world a favor -- resign
