Should add @virginiamercury.com to the list. Great independent coverage of a swing state with an election this year.

Atomic Detectives Who Inspect Iran Sites Are Affected by Trump’s Aid Freeze The president’s halt of foreign aid upended two U.S. programs that help the International Atomic Energy Agency find clues about Iran’s drive to build atomic bombs.

Unfortunately anything seems possible these days, but I would regard stories like this with a high degree of skepticism.

Entirely appropriate to choose today to honor their predecessors in the Indiana legislature who mandated that pi = 3.2

The thing is, over and above my petty frustration about genii and abaci and agelong(!) and whatnot, crossword people with high self-regard should actually enjoy knowing a word that concisely explains why each shoe fits just one foot whereas socks can go on either one. It’s a good word!

Part of the problem is that expertise is being lost both from Congress and from the press. It's hard to see what a good job people are doing when you don't know the basics.

America’s epidemic of chronic illness is killing us too soon Among people under 65, chronic illnesses erase more than twice as many years as overdoses, homicides, suicides and car accidents combined, a Post examination found.

The United States is failing at a fundamental mission — keeping people alive.
