The primary objective of journalism is supposed to be telling the truth. It is a DECISION on the part of USA Today to know that new details have emerged about this case and to refuse to update an old story that is still circulating and still shaming Jane Doe.

Seeing a lot of liberal arts majors and pundits who are suddenly constitutional law experts opine on the legality of the next steps in Missouri congressional elections. My advice is to ignore them and maybe pay attention to what the lawyers who actually litigate redistricting cases have to say.

Uber just announced it will lay off 10% of its workforce, or around 3,300 workers. Last year, Uber CEO Dara Khosrowshahi made $35M — 360 times his median employee's pay — and announced a $20B stock buyback program to further enrich shareholders and himself. Textbook corporate greed.
