NPR described Jeffrey Epstein's victims as "underage women," then quickly corrected the error … … But not before the audience heard it. How did this happen?

I appreciate the detail and commitment to transparency and desire to get better. That's a big mistake. They have to do better.

Respect to Immanuel Quickley and RJ Barrett but OG Anunoby is so good that it's ridiculous that the Raptors traded him.

Authoritarianism can only succeed when democracy fails to deliver for working people.

Authoritarian parties can only succeed when the pro-democracy parties fail to fight for working people.

We need a new democracy and a new party system which can represent working people.

I've heard this same sentiment on a number of occassions. Couldn't agree more.

A 50 year mortgage would be just great for the banks. We'd all pay more for the same amount of house, and banks would reap the profits.

This is not the way to make buying a house affordable. Building more housing and paying a livable wage will benefit everyone except banks and their shareholders.

How the respectability politics of fairness will lead us nowhere Opinion: "We must fully reject respectability politics and those who espouse it — now is no time for capitulation or compromise," argues Marcie Bianco.

Very thoughtful and insightful

This formulation is popular: contrasting SCOTUS' intolerance of race as an admissions factor with SCOTUS' tolerance of race as a detention factor. There are, in fact, doctrinal, historical, and logical distinctions between the positions, that one could use to dismiss this comparison.

But...

"While we’re busy debating throttle limits and helmet rules for e-bikes, maybe we should also talk about how tens of millions of drivers still routinely speed, blow stop signs, or scroll Instagram at 45 mph in a school zone. Or how car crashes are the number one killer of teenagers in America..."

Katie Nolan worries era of sports networks trying to 'take a swing' is 'done' Katie Nolan believes her former bosses at ESPN and Fox Sports are taking the easy route and excluding certain types of sports fans.

❤️❤️❤️

'Nolan explained that growing up, she did not consume sports like many men she has worked with in adulthood because she felt sports content “wasn’t really speaking to me.” While she helped change that a bit last decade with her work, Nolan worries the business is slipping back to that place'

A corrupted Supreme Court sinks to new lows The Trumpist majority closed the term with a ruling that could rip the nation apart.

New in PN: A corrupted Supreme Court sinks to new lows

"When future historians grapple with how Trump managed to so quickly and so thoroughly dismantle American democracy, the role of the Roberts Court cannot be overstated."

Why establishment Democrats still can’t stomach progressive candidates like Zohran Mamdani | Arwa Mahdawi The anti-Mamdani mobilization is depressingly predictable, with a party that is allergic to fresh blood and new thinking

Okay, so I think this is just who the establishment/elected Dems are and it's very depressing.

Jemele Hill: 'Angel Reese is not the villain in Caitlin Clark's story' Jemele Hill shared her thoughts on the rivalry between Angel Reese and Caitlin Clark and why they don't get the same treatment as their male counterparts.

Preach

After saying negative reviews 'might just cause our death' and 'we've got a few months left in the oven', No Rest for the Wicked CEO claims he never said they were in 'immediate financial danger', act... It was all some kind of conspiracy.

This CEO is an asshole

Vice President Vance gets booed at the Kennedy Center Symphony orchestra audiences aren't known for their rowdiness, but the vice president and second lady Usha Vance were loudly booed by the crowd as they entered the Concert Hall on Thursday night.

I think some in the Senate have convinced themselves that the backlash to folding will be limited to “the left” and therefore ignorable.

Those people are deeply and profoundly misreading the moment and the stakes.

Virtually every swing district House Dem walked the plank to vote NO for a reason.

With Democratic Leaders Like Schumer, Who Needs Republicans? Senator Schumer reflects the weakness & complicity of Democratic leaders by agreeing to vote for the Republican spending bill. It's time for new blood that is willing to stand up and fight.

My latest. Let me know if you agree.
