The novelist Lauren Grodstein traveled to the country of Georgia in search of food and a story. She found a new understanding of how to stand up for democracy:

In the last week of the 1936 campaign, FDR reminded a massive crowd in Madison Square Garden that "organized money" was "unanimous in their hate for me--and I welcome their hatred!" And then the country rewarded him with a 523-8 landslide in the electoral college. This is, in fact, good politics.

This back to school season, more districts than ever have cell phone bans in place. Teachers and legislators alike say the restrictions help kids focus in class.

The production on this Karol G halftime show (sound and camera work) is sooo janky compared some of the recent halftime shows we’ve seen in the NFL

Home Depot and Lowe's share data from hundreds of AI-powered automated license plate reading cameras with law enforcement

My great-grandfather led a team of doctors that invented chemotherapy. He’s part of the legacy of breakthroughs in medical science that saved so many lives. And now we’re going to throw away years of groundbreaking research because we put a manifestly unqualified person in charge of public health.

Over 90 pages of "Alligator Alcatraz" files disappeared as I was looking at them and reporting on the situation. Our public records requests are getting stonewalled. A slew of experts told me this all seems to be illegal. talkingpointsmemo.com/muckraker/th...
