"Trump for Europeans conjures up the pre-war era when what we now call populism but then was called fascism engulfed country after country and led to a continent-wide catastrophe that killed millions of people."
Anne Applebaum on Trump's betrayal of Europe

WaPo editorial board when TX imposes a legislative gerrymander: don't freak out guys! Not a threat to democracy!

When VA responds to TX with *referendum* on their own gerrymander: brass-knuckled hypocrisy, anti-democratic gamesmanship.

There is hypocrisy here, all right, but not from VA.

the Epstein files are really devastating because they remind me of how many girls and women miss out on professional opportunities, mentorship and careers because of how many powerful, rich and influential men only view girls and women — and interactions with them — through the lens of sex

This was a remarkably crazy response by Mike Johnson's standards. He's going full "stop the steal" and clearly would line up behind any effort Trump makes to rig the midterms and 2028 elections
Mike Johnson on Trump calling for Rs to "nationalize" elections: "We had 3 Republicans who were ahead on election day in last cycle & every time a new tranche of ballots came in they just magically whittled away until their leads were lost. It looks on its face to be fraudulent. Can I prove it? No"

in which Mike Johnson attempts to scripture-splain to the [checks notes] Pope
Q: Pope Leo cited Matthew 25:35 to critique Donald Trump's mass deportation agenda. How would you respond to Pope Leo in scripture?

MIKE JOHNSON: Sovereign borders are biblical and right and just. It's not because we hate the people on the outside. It's because we love the people on the inside.

We're unprepared for AI's big threat.

It isn't just deepfakes. It’s a world where nothing is trusted, including real evidence.

I wrote in Poynter about fake images from MN, Trump's Maduro photo, and AI "enhanced" ICE agent faces.

Instead of labeling what's fake, we need ways to label what's real.
The real threat of AI is the collapse of trust - Poynter
Why journalism needs to prove which images are authentic — not just label deepfakes
