Mets disaster of a season is a result of David Stearns's decisions www.nydailynews.com/2026/04/27/m... Twenty hitting coaches? With iPads constantly offering pointers? No wonder they can’t hit! Too much bs flying around your brain

Mets disaster of a season is a result of David Stearns’s decisions
The Mets seem to have been remade in David Stearns’s own image.

These are the last words in the last column I wrote for The Washington Post, titled "When institutions crumble, strongmen step in". www.washingtonpost.com/opinions/202...
This is nonetheless more favorable terrain for Trump than for the American system. As New York Sen. Daniel Patrick Moynihan once wrote (here in The Post), “Everyone is entitled to his own opinion, but not his own facts.”

Trump has for years stoked the idea that actually, having your own facts is fine. And even as his base chooses facts that he finds inconvenient in the moment, he’s still pushing toward the next phase: Everyone is entitled to the facts that Trump presents.

What institutions of power will be left to disagree?

Of course. DHS lied again. Right after they murdered Renee Good, they shot a young couple in Portland. Then lied about it. They were *not* gang members. And she wasn’t “involved” in a shooting, she was a victim of sexual assault. apple.news/AeMvL-19yS1S...
