Never gets old. J-school essay topic: Is there any performance test for essentially life-tenure columnists? A limit on how many big calls you can get totally wrong, before they say: Hey, buddy, how about taking a step back for a while. Maybe a few reported pieces? Where you go out and ask around?

And thus did the prophecy of @anntelnaes.bsky.social come to pass

Trump’s Truth Social posting over the last hour or so is completely batshit insane. Get a load of this nonstop nuttery.

Look, plantar fascitis sucks but I think this guy has bigger issues going on

@propublica.org has the story: anntelnaes.substack.com/p/speaking-o...

Trump’s effort to rebrand the Kennedy Center in his own name is illegal, a federal judge ruled. The ruling is a stinging blow for the president, who has made clear his personal stake in the rebranding and remodeling of the Kennedy Center.

Going to say it again. Stop using AI cartoons in posts. There are plenty of editorial cartoonists who would be happy to let you repost their work; just ask them.

🔥 Massie going hard at Ted Cruz

The DNC released its long-awaited and haphazard autopsy of Kamala Harris’ failed 2024 presidential campaign. The report paints a bleak portrait of the party following the crushing loss to Trump.

"They leaked his tax returns, they tried to destroy him." If revealing your official tax returns -- something every single president and VP for forty years before Trump did voluntarily -- could possibly "destroy" you, that is the scandal.
