This a huge number. 23% of the country couldn’t even see it live. For context, 7.4 million watched the Emmys on CBS and Paramount + combined.

LOS ANGELES (AP) — Jimmy Kimmel's return monologue watched by nearly 6.3 million viewers on broadcast TV, despite blackouts in many cities.

New - @NPR reporting “documents with sensitive details” about the Trump/Putin meeting “were left behind on a public hotel printer. “👇🏻

NEW: Metadata from the “raw” Epstein prison video shows approximately 2 minutes and 53 seconds were removed from one of two stitched-together clips. The cut starts right at the “missing minute.”

Reminder: the Trump admin put a 22-year-old in charge of the country’s domestic terrorism prevention office. He graduated college last year. And has no known national security expertise. But he did work for the Trump campaign. www.propublica.org/article/trum...

More than a century after the Tulsa Race Massacre of 1921, one of the most horrific episodes of racial violence in U.S. history, the city’s mayor announced a $105 million reparations package on Sunday. It is the first large-scale plan committing funds to address the impact of the atrocity.

I’ve taught at Princeton and supervised senior theses. If Hegseth had been caught when he submitted this, he very likely would have been suspended for a year and not allowed to graduate with his class. Kudos to the ‘Prince’ from a proud former editor in chief.

Great college journalism right here.

He is the best man I ever knew. May his memory be a blessing

Pope Leo XIV’s tweet (& RTs) in the wake of George Floyd’s murder

The FAA halted the work of an outside panel of experts scrutinizing its management of air traffic control, a previously unreported move made after a fatal airliner crash near Washington raised questions about the agency’s abilities to keep the skies safe.

“I supported Pete Hegseth but he needs to go,” writes John Mac Ghlionn. “What I, and many others, overlooked is now impossible to ignore. This man is dangerously unfit for one of the most sensitive and important jobs in the world.” www.usnews.com/opinion/arti...

Very very important follow up on the Signal story . The clone version of Signal White House officials are using is so insecure it’s already been hacked. www.404media.co/the-signal-c...

Judge Howell pulls no punches: “No American president has ever before issued executive orders like the one at issue…This action draws from a playbook as old as Shakespeare, who penned the phrase: The first thing we do, let’s kill all the lawyers.” www.nytimes.com/2025/05/02/u...

Holy moly - what a win for Perkins Coie and law firms fighting executive orders that Judge Howell calls “ unconstitutional retaliation and viewpoint discrimination, plain and simple.” www.wsj.com/us-news/law/...

On average, trade deals signed by the US take 18 months to negotiate and 45 months to implement. Trump team is vowing to make 90 deals in 90 days. @anaswanson.bsky.social www.nytimes.com/2025/05/02/b...

Barry Blitt’s first 100 days cover for the New Yorker.

Vladimir Stop! Your midday must-read is here: www.usnews.com/news/nationa...

The White House has no comment on Chinese denial that there are any ongoing trade talks with the US. Yesterday, press secretary Karoline Leavitt said talks were happening at the staff level.

So much for bringing back manufacturing jobs. “Volvo Group North America recently announced it will lay off up to 800 workers at three U.S. factories over the next three months, effectively blaming Trump’s trade war for the planned reductions” @oknox.bsky.social www.usnews.com/news/u-s-new...

Lead of WSJ right now:

I mean.

“The Court can say up is down but up will still be up.” talkingpointsmemo.com/edblog/scotu...

WSJ EDITORIAL BOARD: “.. The Supreme Court has repeatedly held that the government may not use federal benefits or funds to coerce parties to surrender their constitutional rights. This is what the Administration is doing ..” @wsj.com www.wsj.com/opinion/dona...

The person I have followed and listened to most on this case is @stevevladeck.bsky.social Excellent judgement, excellent analysis, as always, when it comes to SCOTUS.

I happen to know that some powerful media orgs were unhappy that AP filed suit; they thought the conflict with the White House would blow over on its own and that AP risked making bad law. The AP's leadership deserves a lot of credit for having proceeded as it did. apnews.com/article/trum...

Judge’s order to reinstate AP in White House press pool shows the importance of fighting lawless orders. It’s not just the rights of one that are at stake, it’s the rights of all.

The Associated Press wins reinstatement to White House events after judge rules government can’t bar its journalists, citing the 1st Amendment.

It's a careful, well-reasoned opinion that rightly describes the exclusion of AP as retaliatory, viewpoint-based, and unconstitutional. And it reaffirms that viewpoint discrimination is off-limits even in nonpublic forums. An important opinion, especially right now.

On TV at the same time: NAVARRO: “This is not a negotiation.” LUTNICK: “Of course they are” open to negotiation. 🤡

Tarrifpocalypse, Day 2: www.usnews.com/news/nationa...

When we’re in a tarrifpocalypse, you need the midday must-read by @mathurashton.bsky.social If you don’t get it, you won’t get it. www.usnews.com/news/nationa...

Terrific column on the importance of scientific funding for research universities by former Ec10 student Julien Berman. This chart is striking--basically many of the complaints (fair or unfair) are about the humanities but it gets very little federal funding.

What is the emoji for “Don’t hold your breath”? The very well-placed Philippe Reines on the staggering hypocrisy of Signalgate, for @U.S. News & World Report: www.usnews.com/opinion/arti...

"Two U.S. officials also said that Waltz has created and hosted multiple other sensitive national-security conversations on Signal with cabinet members, including separate threads on how to broker peace between Russia and Ukraine as well as military operations." www.wsj.com/politics/pol...

Grateful that Julie Pace is leading the The Associated Press right now, where I started my career, where I learned to be a reporter and writer among fiercely committed journalists. “We didn’t ask for this fight. But we must stand on principle,” she writes.

National security officials were told clearly in February not to use Signal for anything nonpublic - doesn’t even need to be classified - and that Russia hackers had found a vulnerability. www.usnews.com/news/nationa...

Listen everyone. I’ve see classified stuff before. This in the Atlantic is the kind of stuff that gets the highest classification. I had to have TS clearance to hear the names of the people we targeted in Iraq when i was with TF16 and 17. And still some names were withheld until op was over….

Good for @theatlantic.com taking the administration at their word. They claimed all day yesterday the contents of the signal chat wasn’t classified. So Jeff Goldberg published the entire thing. www.theatlantic.com/politics/arc...
