Daily bunny no.3457 always brings an acorn
A bunny in a blue dress brings an acorn to a small grey squirrel, who she is meeting in a clearing in the woods. The squirrel is dressed more rustically, accepts the gift gladly.

It’s infuriating when media outlets like this one who should know better continue to cede entire narratives (faith, economy, defense) to Republicans when they actually have shown no ability to maintain integrity in any of them. It’s almost as if the media creates these narratives, isn’t it?

This story brought me back to Kara, one of the mothers in my book, There Is No Place for Us. She was homeless with her four kids while driving for DoorDash. They had to pee in bottles so bathroom stops wouldn't make her late. After gas, she earned $6.50 an hour—75 cents less than the minimum wage.

This is excellent modern journalism. A century ago, a newspaper would publish a muckraking article. Then a pol could get quotes into the paper in response. That was slow turnaround. Now subjects of articles go on TV and social media to counterspin. And @propublica.org is rapidly responding. Great!
