The richest man owns X. The second richest man owns The Washington Post. The third and fifth richest men control Google. The sixth richest man owns Facebook, Instagram, and WhatsApp. And the eighth richest man now owns both Paramount and Warner Bros. See the problem here?

Sydney Sweeney dating Scooter Braun, a guy Taylor Swoft said was one of history’s monsters, says a lot about Sydney. Plus, her actions in every other way say the same thing.

Born on this day: Neil deGrasse Tyson is an astrophysicist, author, and science communicator who directs the Hayden Planetarium in New York. Known for making the cosmos accessible, he hosts StarTalk and champions scientific literacy with wit, clarity, and enthusiasm.
Former heavyweight boxing champion Mike Tyson sits at a wooden table during a book signing event. Wearing a black t-shirt, he holds an open book with a pen nearby, seated in front of a green backdrop. If you’re mad at this joke it’s because you’re a nerd.

Survivors of sexual assault deserve to be heard and believed. LGBTQ+ students deserve to learn without fear or discrimination. Trump’s Department of Education is rolling back Title IX protections that help keep young people safe. And Susan Collins voted to put Linda McMahon in charge.

It sounds weird, but politicians who violated 'banking laws' were once considered 'disgraced'. No becoming president, no running key House committees, no pardons, if you were caught violating 'banking laws' your career was over and the headlines would call you 'disgraced.' I wonder what changed.

The NY Times uses words like “fierce,” “steely,” “nimble” and “homegrown star of the Trump White House” to describe Karoline Leavitt, who just got a Fox News gig. Not a single mention of her relentless lying to the American public. Reporter Michael M. Grynbaum and his editors suck.

A fierce and nimble speaker, Ms. Leavitt is the second of Mr. Trump’s former press secretaries to join the cable news network.

Soon after Leavitt started as Tump's press secertary, I wrote this piece for my Stop the Presses newsletter. It's a lot more truth-telling than today's fawning New York Times story.

This weekend, I went to Springfield, Ohio, for Pierre Damas Bel's funeral--and to next-door Vandalia for Trump's same-day rally, where the president took a victory lap on the policies that killed him. I hope you'll give it a read. www.thebulwark.com/p/a-death-a-...

The future of the GOP can be seen in Texas, argues @aselrod.bsky.social with @gregsargent.bsky.social, but so can the opposite: a positive, respectful, caring, unreservedly value-based politics, one that appeals to the religious and non-religious (and American!) idea that we're all created equal.
