Uri Berliner, a veteran at the public radio institution, says the network lost its way when it started telling listeners how to think.

Biden’s out. Kamala leans into the meme. Cheatle quits. The sharks are on cocaine. CrowdStrike has a CrowdStroke. The Olympics are here! J.D. Vance’s couch. And much, much more.

Outrage continues over the Uvalde massacre of last Tuesday, May 24, in which 21 people were killed and 17 wounded. The assault on this elementary school stands out for many reasons: the youth of the victims, the apparent mishandling of the situation by law enforcement officers, and the heroism of the parents, for example. After all, there have been at least 14 mass shootings in the U.S. since the Uvalde murders, killing at least 10 people and wounding another 61, and they have gotten much less attention.

Everything we are seeing is fruit of the Big Lie. And it’s going to get worse.

Women candidates get asked different questions than male candidates—that's just a fact.

The former Pakistani PM says he's “confined to a death cell,” as he lambasts Pakistan’s political and military leaders.

As the Paris Games begin, I will be thinking of Majed Abu Maraheel, Palestine’s first Olympian, who died in Gaza.

Today’s widely discussed Trump post on Truth Social isn’t just another instance of bad behavior. It’s not just a shrug of the shoulders and a resigned sigh of, “What are you going to do?” Far too often, people resignedly accept Trump’s behavior because they believe there’s no alternative. The zeitgeist is: We can’t make him stop, can we?

My dear friend Dahlia Lithwick, who writes so precisely about the Supreme Court, justice, democracy, and other issues that matter, said to me this morning that we’re all running on a sugar high right now.

There's a neglected dimension beyond gender in America's troubled youth

More immigration = more anti-immigration politics

The evidence is increasing

BUNK! It’s caused by corporate power. And what would President Harris do about it?

Teachers in Manatee County, Florida, are being told to make their classroom libraries — and any other "unvetted" book — inaccessible to students, or risk felony prosecution. The new policy is part of an effort to comply with new laws and regulations championed by Governor Ron DeSantis (R). It is based on the premise, promoted by right-wing advocacy groups, that teachers and librarians are using books to "groom" students or indoctrinate them with leftist ideologies.

In an interview with Bloomberg Businessweek published earlier this month, Trump said that, if he wins a second term, he would push to slash the corporate tax rate:

How painfully, cringingly super-woke must a comedian get to stay relevant?

For contest #428, several sleuths head down to see the window in person — with pics! And great stories as usual, with lots of serendipity.

The truth is what it is

The vice president is largely unknown to most of us

The media failures are getting worse

Is Republican misogyny compulsory?

“Two weeks ago, no one even heard of Katie Britt,” the senator said. “Now, my kitchen will be in the Smithsonian right next to exhibits about Custer’s Last Stand and the Titanic. Not bad, y’all.”

"Anyone who thinks I can’t repel every last bird or fish lover in this great land of ours doesn’t know J.D. Vance.”

How could anyone hate children, even if their parents had been Nazis?

This is a story about lying. Public lying. It is a story about Senator John McCain’s lying, and the damage it has done to many people, including me. It is also a story about my lying because, ultimately, John McCain’s lie became mine. Over time, that lie has become heavier as I have been abused by the family of the man I worked for

Since JD Vance was announced as Donald Trump's running mate last week, there's been an extremely negative reaction across the country.

Like I said, 2024 is not nearly done with us.

A series of misfires and self-owns have defined Trump’s response to the Harris threat.

Democrats need to push past our 2016 emotional trauma and project confidence.

The Vice President starts as an underdog, but she has real political advantages

The night before the insurrection, a large group of Trump family and advisers held an urgent meeting with January 6 organizers at the president's private residence in DC.

At a time he had the sympathy of many Americans over what’s being described as an attempted assassination, Trump chose to tell 80+ lies about the incident in 9 minutes. Why? This report has an answer.

If Donald Trump ran for President, why would you vote for him? Or, why not? Please leave me a comment here and thank you so much for subscribing to my newsletter.
