Thank you. I can’t imagine how anyone thought it was a good idea for her to be there. I felt like she was sending out a little SOS.

β€˜Professor Uthmeier’: Inside Florida attorney general’s $100k teaching job at UF The university was eager to hire the newly minted attorney general, but didn’t announce his teaching job until the Miami Herald and Tampa Bay Times began asking questions.

Florida's attorney general, who spends his time targeting companies for stuff like β€œradical LGBTQ+ activism,” is getting paid $100K a year as a Univ of Fla adjunct to teach a 2 hour/week law class.

His salary is 8X higher than what the median adjunct earns.

Amazon's tax bill plunges after GOP tax cuts The 87 percent drop is largely due to a more generous depreciation break in the 'One Big Beautiful Bill Act.'

In related news about the Washington Post and the state of journalism today, Amazon "ran a $1.2 billion tax bill last year, down from $9 billion the previous year, even as its profits jumped by 45% to nearly $90 billion."

That's in the wake of the 2025 tax bill

Opinion | The Trump Administration Is Lying to Our Faces. Congress Must Act.

Potent @nytimes.com editorialβ€”"The administration is urging Americans to reject the evidence of their eyes and ears. Ms. Noem and Mr. Bovino are lying in defiance of obvious truths. They are lying in the manner of authoritarian regimes that require people to accept lies as a demonstration of power."

The Washington Post published a clear video of federal agents removing Alex Pretti's handgun moments before he was fatally shot. There's nothing in the video to suggest Pretti even reached for his weapon.

Journalists, please remember that repeating obviously false statements is not balance or fairness. It is actively participating in deception.

Just staggered by the complete moral void of not even *pretending* to wait for more information before pivoting to β€œthe opponent of the state deserved it.” It is so insanely depraved. Soulless.
