As AI-generated text floods the internet, people are getting falsely accused of using LLMs to write. Clean and precise prose has become a liability, and non-native English speakers and autistic writers are often paying the price.

It had not occurred to the parents who lost their 27 daughters at Camp Mystic that a session in 2026 would be open to debate. But the camp is open this year, with almost 900 girls signed up. Kerry Howley reports on the July 4th tragedy — and the battle over the camp’s future: tinyurl.com/n5pyfzah

Don DeLillo’s funniest novel is a 1980 hockey sex romp he won’t acknowledge:

Immigrants are successfully challenging the Trump administration's mass detention policy and winning release from ICE custody—thanks to a centuries-old legal principle and constitutional right. My latest for @motherjones.com:

My profile of Congressman Cory Mills is based on interviews with 18 people who have known the Florida Republican from his youth to the present day. There's stolen valor, a restraining order, a failed grenade company, sex workers, a Trump endorsement, and much much more. Here's what I found.

It takes a lot for a politician to stand out as especially sleazy in this era, but Rep. Cory Mills makes the cut. His district (Florida's 7th, suburbs between Orlando and Daytona Beach) is only rated R+5 and there's a competitive Democratic primary, so hopefully he'll be booted this year.

"He’s always been that little liar. I mean no one—no one—likes him.” “I wouldn’t piss on him if he was on fire.” @nlanard.bsky.social reports on Florida Rep. Cory Mills, perhaps the most hated man in Congress, and his many, many scandals. bit.ly/46kf7fP

Incredible read from @nlanard.bsky.social

We watched more than 50 hours of dashcam and bodycam footage taken from the first night of the ICE sweeps in Nashville in May. During one arrest, an agent finds an immigrant's ID and notes he's a manager at a Mexican restaurant. “The guacamole is never going to taste the same,” the agent laughs.

Now that's a lede From @nlanard.bsky.social www.motherjones.com/politics/202...

This is just a brutal profile. It's worth noting that FL-7 is only an R+5 district ... www.motherjones.com/politics/202...

I spoke with 18 people who've known Florida Republican Congressman Cory Mills. Nearly everyone, I found, dislikes him. As one Army veteran who served with Mills put it, “I wouldn’t piss on him if he was on fire." www.motherjones.com/politics/202...

Veterans accuse him of stolen valor. His international arms company is deep in debt. He had a restraining order placed on him last year. And he's widely disliked. Read my profile of Florida Republican Congressman Cory Mills here: www.motherjones.com/politics/202...

ICE is arresting people at school dropoffs, on the way to church, and at routine check-ins at immigration offices as the Trump administration pursues its goal of deporting millions of people. 🎧 Listen on Reveal:
