A reminder to the news media: “conflicting accounts” is what you say BEFORE the incontrovertible video evidence appears. After that, your job is to ask why one side is lying, not to repeat the lie and pretend no one knows the truth.

My IG feed is full of parents asking for prayers for their hospitalized children with illnesses like Strep, Covid & influenza A. I don't want to dismiss prayers if that gives someone hope, but it's no substitute for preventative mitigations for airborne viruses. It didn't have to be this way

The killing of Alex Pretti is a heartbreaking tragedy. It should also be a wake-up call to every American, regardless of party, that many of our core values as a nation are increasingly under assault.

The people of Minnesota are an inspiration. They’re out in the freezing cold protesting ICE brutality and protecting their communities. They're delivering groceries to their vulnerable neighbors and forming human chains around schools during pickups.
We can’t leave them to do this work alone.

Trump sold the oil from a seized Venezuelan tanker for $500,000,000.. Where is the money? He deposited it in a bank in Qatar where Congress can't get to it.
He stole the oil from Venezuela, but he stole the money from America.
Why has Congress not impeached and imprisoned him for his crimes?

I was telling one of my kids that it was physically impossible for an ad to play between songs on any of the records I own, and they asked "and you only have to pay for it once?" and you could see how strange that seemed. You cannot overstate how many basic rules of media consumption have changed.
